EN50129 Insights

What is EN50129?

EN50129 is a European standard specifying safety requirements for safety-related electronic systems in railway signalling. It defines a framework for achieving safety integrity levels (SILs) in railway applications, covering aspects like hazard analysis, safety requirements specification, design, implementation, and validation. It is commonly used to ensure the safe operation of railway systems by minimizing the risk of accidents due to system failures. It is part of the ERTMS/ETCS standard.
