Safety requirement specification planning

The specified action (fault reaction) required to achieve or maintain a safe state shall be specified in the safety requirements specification. It may consist, for example, of the safe shutdown of the process, or that part of the process which relies, for risk reduction, on the faulty subsystem, or other specified mitigation planning. The total time to detect the fault and to perform the action shall be less than the time for the hazardous event to occur.

If the safety requirements specification has been properly done we would expect to know the answer to this question. It is worth noting that EEC 61511-1 has a draft statement to the effect that you may decide to continue running the process if you have alternative protection measures planned. It also says that if the repair period exceeds the specified MTTR you are required to take a specific course of action designed to ensure safety. Usually this means a manually initiated shutdown. 

There are no electrolyzers developed specifically for operation with wind turbines. However, the rapid response of electrochemical systems to power variations makes them suitable "loads" for wind turbines. Industrial electrolyzers are designed for continuous operation, mainly because their elevated investment cost requires high-capacity factors for reasonable payback times, but they are subject to a considerable number of current interruptions through their lifetime due to occasional power interruptions, accidental trips of safety systems, and planned stops for maintenance. Current interruptions are more frequent in specialty applications, where electrolyzers supply hydrogen "on demand." Therefore, the discontinuous use of the equipment is not new, and most commercial electrolyzers may be used in intermittent operation although a significant performance decrease is expected with time. In fact, it is not power variation, but current interruptions that may cause severe corrosion problems to the electrodes, if the latter are not protected by the application of a polarization current when idle. 

Gather the requirements for the systems including functional (e.g. operational checks) requirements, nonfunctional (e.g., coding standards) requirements, users, company-wide regulatory compliance (e.g., Part 11 technical control), safety, process, and other applicable requirements Characterize information, assess its value to the organization, and incorporate information quality as part of the project plan Conduct a system (hardware, software, and process) risk analysis. New requirements may be found as the result of the risk analysis. Any new requirements must be documented in the requirements specification deliverable... 

For each phase, design documents of safety systems, based on SRP BTP-14, of the software development life cycle, include software plans, software requirement specification, software design output, source code listing, and test reports. These documents are subject to the IV V review. 

ARP4754A (paragraph 3.1) refers to Development Assurance , which establishes confidence that system development has been accomplished in a sufficiently disciplined manner to limit the likelihood of development errors that could impact aircraft safety . Development Assurance is defined as a process involving specific planned and systematic actions that together provide confidence that errors or omissions in requirements or design have been identified and corrected to the degree that the system, as implemented, satisfies applicable certification requirements . 

The purpose of the system safety program plan (SSPP) is to identify the specific system safety requirements for a given project, to include specified system safety tasks, risk assessment methodology and risk acceptance criteria, system safety products and milestones, and system safety organization.

Maintenance operations require specific site-related planning. Management should also pay attention to the local practices and customer cooperation on different sites. Maintenance operations should be in line with the safety practices, risk assessment and other local details. In addition, management should pay attention also to the safety culture existing between the maintenance workers on each site. There may be great variations between different sites. Maintenance operations may also be more susceptible to poor safety culture than some other operations in industry, due to e.g. the expectations towards quick problem-solving and inherent risks in industrial maintenance.

Due to safety requirements ascertained with respect to the plant, essential system changes might result. In the event that, with due consideration for necessary changes, the planning of the plant is completed. analysis after planning completion takes place. The completed planning documents are checked to see whether the technical design observes specifications and can attain the safety aim.

Public schools are further bound by federal legislation that mandates how student information is to be maintained. For students, information safety is specifically addressed by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, commonly known as FERPA. FERPA is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education information. FERPA assures that students have specific rights regarding information and requires that schools strictly adhere to the guidelines. Therefore, it is imperative that schools have a plan regarding information security. 

The shutdown state can be subdivided into several plant operating states. For each state, plant specific safety requirements have been defined. The purpose of these requirements is to ensure the safety functions and that a sufficient degree of redundancy is available in all states to enable the safety function performance. Regarding maintenance work on specific trains of safety systems, a redundancy plan has been developed. In this plan, it is defined how many trains of the core cooling systems must be available in the different plant states and in which combinations they have to operate, thus excluding combinations where the trains in operation do no longer meet the safety requirements (consideration of single failure at one train plus unavailability of another train due to maintenance work). 

Examine plans and specifications for new machinery or equipment to determine if all safety requirements have been included. 

In this paper, a method of software safety verification at the system level based on STPA is proposed. We investigated the application of the STPA structure to software, and we found that STPA can be directly used for software. We mapped the results of the STPA safety analysis to a formal specification to be able to verify safety requirements at the software code level. The limitation of the method is that the formal specification is done manually which may lead to much effort to construct and check the potential combinations of relevant states. Therefore, we are exploring the automation of this step and integrate it with our A-STPA tool as future work. Furthermore, we plan in-depth case studies to improve the method by applying it to real safety-critical software in industry. We plan also to investigate the effectiveness of using the proposed method during an ISO 26262 life cycle in the automotive industry.
