Analyses required for safety systems

ANALYSES REQUIRED FOR SAFETY SYSTEMS Failure analyses 

An assessment of the final design should be made to verify the adequacy of the test provisions for the protection system, the safety actuation systems and the safety system support features. The results of this assessment should be documented, and those areas of the design that are sensitive to either equipment failure or human error in any aspect of system testing and equipment testing should be identified in the documentation. 

In a Member State in which it has been decided to employ numerical requirements for reliability of the safety systems or parts thereof, an appropriate quantitative reliability analysis should be performed using demonstrably relevant component failure rates and mean repair times, in order to  

The results of this analysis should be documented as well as the results of periodic tests, assessments of in-service reliability and any remedial actions taken.
