European Railway AgencyGuide <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>application</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CSM Regulation 2.5.6. If a technical system is developed by applying <strong>the</strong> 10 -9 criterion defined in point 2.5.4,<strong>the</strong> principle <strong>of</strong> mutual recognition is applicable in accordance with Article 7(4) <strong>of</strong> thisRegulation.Never<strong>the</strong>less, if <strong>the</strong> proposer can demonstrate that <strong>the</strong> national safety level in <strong>the</strong>Member State <strong>of</strong> <strong>application</strong> can be maintained with a rate <strong>of</strong> failure higher than 10 -9per operating hour, this criterion can be used by <strong>the</strong> proposer in that Member State.[G 1] Additional explanation is not judged necessary.2.5.7. The explicit risk estimation and evaluation shall satisfy at least <strong>the</strong> followingrequirements:(a) <strong>the</strong> methods used <strong>for</strong> explicit risk estimation shall reflect correctly <strong>the</strong> system underassessment and its parameters (including all operational modes);(b) <strong>the</strong> results shall be sufficiently accurate to serve as robust decision support, i.e.minor changes in input assumptions or prerequisites shall not result in significantlydifferent requirements.[G 1] In order to fulfil <strong>the</strong>se requirements, <strong>the</strong> following may be considered:(a) <strong>the</strong> explicit risk analysis considers all relevant operational modes (both <strong>the</strong> nominal anddegraded modes <strong>of</strong> operation) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> system under assessment;(b) <strong>the</strong> results are presented in a <strong>for</strong>mat compatible to <strong>the</strong> risk acceptance criteria to enable<strong>the</strong> comparison <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> assessed risk with <strong>the</strong> criteria;(c) a demonstration is provided to show that all significant risk model parameters related toconsidered risks are taken into account;(d) a "method" "capable" <strong>of</strong> per<strong>for</strong>ming a trade-<strong>of</strong>f / impact analysis, based on expertjudgement and review, with respect to <strong>the</strong> different "significant risk model parameters" isused <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> explicit risk estimation and evaluation;(e) all parameter choices and results are "comprehensively" documented and justified;(f)<strong>the</strong> results are provided toge<strong>the</strong>r with a sensitivity analysis <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> main risk"contributors" in order to demonstrate that a moderate modification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> inputparameters does not result in significantly different safety requirements;(g) <strong>the</strong> results are documented with a sufficient level <strong>of</strong> detail to allow <strong>for</strong> cross-checks;(h) where quantitative criteria are used <strong>the</strong> tolerable accuracy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> overall results is withinone order <strong>of</strong> magnitude or all parameters used <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> quantification are conservative.[G 2] The way to determine <strong>the</strong> quantitative parameters <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> system under assessment need tobe supported by a well documented justification with appropriate arguments.
