ÖVE/ÖNORM EN 16602-30

This Standard defines the dependability assurance programme and the dependability requirements for space systems. Dependability assurance is a continuous and iterative process throughout the project life cycle. The ECSS dependability policy for space projects is applied by implementing a dependability assurance programme, which comprises: • identification of all technical risks with respect to functional needs which can lead to non-compliance with dependability requirements, • application of analysis and design methods to ensure that dependability targets are met, • optimization of the overall cost and schedule by making sure that: - design rules, dependability analyses and risk reducing actions are tailored with respect to an appropriate severity categorisation, - risks reducing actions are implemented continuously since the early phase of a project and especially during the design phase. • inputs to serial production activities. The dependability requirements for functions implemented in software, and the interaction between hardware and software, are identified in this Standard.
