System Definition
High Speed Rail Solutions
Our Mission: To successfully integrate complex railway systems and demonstrate they are safe, reliable and compliant.
The system definition is an important step in the Common Safety Method for Risk Evaluation and Assessment (CSM-RA) process, as it provides the basis for identifying and classifying hazards, selecting risk acceptance principles, and performing risk analysis and evaluation.
Ensuring the right system definition from the start is absolutely crucial for achieving success in your project. When you pay careful attention to crafting a precise and comprehensive System Definition (SD), you're actually bolstering the effectiveness of your commissioning activities.
A well-structured SD serves as the cornerstone of your project, providing a solid foundation. It plays a pivotal role in demonstrating your meticulous management of CSM-RA risk processes. By having a robust SD in place, you can confidently assert that you've accurately delineated the scope of your risk management activities.
When your SD is thorough and meticulous, it instils confidence. It removes doubts about whether you've accounted for all potential hazardous events and their corresponding mitigation measures. This, in turn, makes it easier to persuade key stakeholders such as System Review Panels and Assessment Bodies that the changes you're implementing on the railway are not just efficient but also safe.

In the development of your SD, it's imperative to ensure that it aligns seamlessly with the content requirements specified in the CSM-RA Regulations. Collaborating closely with stakeholders from project sponsorship, engineering, and management functions is invaluable in this process.
Remember, incorporating Systems Context Diagrams and Track Map illustrations into your SD can greatly assist in setting the boundaries of your system. And, like all critical project documents, the SD should undergo regular reviews and updates as needed, to accommodate any potential changes in scope. This proactive approach keeps your project on track and aligned with your safety objectives.
