What is EN 50128?

EN 50128 is a European standard that defines the requirements for software used in railway control and protection systems, ensuring safety and reliability. It provides a structured approach to software development throughout its lifecycle, including planning, design, verification, validation, and maintenance. EN 50128 ensures that software meets stringent safety integrity levels (SIL), aligning closely with other safety standards like EN 50126 and EN 50129 to ensure comprehensive safety across the entire railway system.

The standard is organized around the software V-cycle, a process that breaks down software development into phases such as specification, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Each phase includes specific activities and deliverables, with a strong focus on documentation, verification, and validation techniques. By following this standard, railway organizations and suppliers can ensure that software systems are reliable, safe, and compliant with European safety regulations.
