In many domains, including railways, there are normative frameworks which stipulate that the safety of a newly‐created system must be demonstrated. These normative frameworks are supplemented by European and/or national laws and decrees, setting out rules which need to be respected. This chapter is based on the author's experience as a certifying evaluator in the area of railway systems. It presents all of the existing norms and standards and the links between them. This chapter offers a presentation of the applicable standards arranged by their domain of application (aeronautics, the automobile industry, railways, the nuclear sector, space and automaton‐based systems) and a comparison of those standards. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61508 standard presents a generic approach to all activities linked to the safety lifecycle of electrical/electronic/programmable electronics systems which are used to perform safety functions. EN 50155 (AFN 07) is applicable for all electronic equipment fitted in railway vehicles.
