This recommended practice establishes a preferred system perspective requirements for the application of Commercial-off-the-shelf Electronic System and Software (COTS-ESS) in rail safety related applications. This recommended practice is applicable to vital safety related applications with COTS-ESS (such as safety positioning based on Global Navigation Satellite System and electronic beacon) for onboard and wayside equipment in high-speed train and maglev. This recommended practice does not impose constraints on Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Electronic system & software itself. The recommended practice does not require COTS-ESS to meet specific safety requirements for rail. Instead, the recommended practice achieves fault detection and safety response through specialized safety monitoring and other means. This recommended practice does not define specific safety targets for application systems, but instead it proposes safety-related conditions for application systems. Compliance with the provisions of this recommended practice does not guarantee or ensure safety, security, health, or environmental protection. Users are responsible for observing all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
