本文件概述了执行系统安全的标准实践。在某些情况下，这些原则可能被其他适用于商用飞机和汽车等特定商品的标准所采纳。例如，生产商用飞机的制造商应使用SAE ARP4754或SAE ARP4761（见下文第2节）来满足FAA或其他监管机构系统安全相关要求。本文定义的系统安全实践提供了评估已识别风险的一致方法。应识别、评估并将误操作风险降低到合理可行的最低水平。事故风险应由相关机构接受，并遵守联邦（和州，如适用）法律法规、行政命令、条约和协议。 与减轻事故风险相关的项目权衡研究应在任何决策中考虑总生命周期成本。本文件旨在作为需要系统评估危害和缓解措施的复杂系统的项目招标要素之一。管理当局可在招标书和系统规范中确定开发商应满足的具体系统安全要求。这些可能包括风险评估和验收标准、独特的分类和认证，或项目特有的减少事故需求。满足项目特定要求的其他信息见附录。

This document outlines a standard practice for conducting system safety. In some cases, these principles may be captured in other standards that apply to specific commodities such as commercial aircraft and automobiles. For example, those manufacturers that produce commercial aircraft should use SAE ARP4754 or SAE ARP4761 (seeSection 2below) to meet FAA or other regulatory agency system safety-related requirements.The system safety practice as defined herein provides a consistent means of evaluating identified risks. Mishap risk should be identified, evaluated, and mitigated to a level as low as reasonably practicable. The mishap risk should be accepted by the appropriate authority and comply with federal (and state, where applicable) laws and regulations, executive orders, treaties, and agreements. Program trade studies associated with mitigating mishap risk should consider total life cycle cost in any decision.This document is intended for use as one of the elements of project solicitation for complex systems requiring a systematic evaluation of hazards and mitigating measures. The Managing Authority may identify, in the solicitation and system specification, specific system safety requirements to be met by the Developer. These may include risk assessment and acceptance criteria, unique classifications and certifications, or mishap reduction needs unique to their program. Additional information in meeting program specific requirements is located in the Appendixes.
