1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 FOREWORD
This document deals with Safety of the project “Hanoi Pilot Light Metro (HPLM) Line – Section
Nhon to Hanoi Railway Station”.
Hanoi Pilot Light Metro Line, section Nhon – Hanoi Railway Station is a major project for Hanoi City.
According to the Hanoi Transportation Master Plan till 2020, total length of HPLML (Line 3) shall
reach 21,5km from Nhon to Hoang Mai. The first phase of this line, and part of this contract is from
Nhon to Hanoi Railway Station, with about 8.5 km elevated section and 4.0 km underground section.
This line includes 12 stations as presented in Figure 1 (with 8 elevated and 4 underground stations).
The Depot is located at Nhon with area of 150550m².
After starting at Nhon, the Metro line runs to the east along National Road 32, crosses Cau Dien
district and pursues its route on Ho Tung Mau where it passes over the 3rd Ring Road. It then continues
on Xuan Thuy, Cau Giay until it reaches the bus transfer station in front of Thu Le Park. At this stage,
the line plunges underground, follows Kim Ma, passes next to Horizon Hotel, goes straight on Cat
Linh and Quoc Tu Giam and terminates at Hanoi railway station.
Line alignment
Main features of the Metro line 3 are described in the table below:
Items Option/Solution
Standard metro
Car average length: 19.7 to 21 m
Rolling Stock
Maximum length over coupler of the train≤ 83m length (train with 4
cars) and 104m length (train with 5 cars)
Track gauge 1.435 mm
Power supply system 3rd Rail - 750 DCV
7 power supply stations
Driver mode Automatic with Driver
Elevated stations with concourse level, escalator and lift.
Underground stations with concourse level, escalator and lift.
Station Length of platform is about 109 m.
8 elevated stations and 4 underground stations
The term “Safety” here deals with the safe behaviour of the HPLM System considering all passengers
and public at large, and with O&M Entity personnel in its subsequent operation and maintenance, but
do not include Health and Safety of personnel (see part 1.3.2.1).
The Safety activity is about risk management. Basically, risks must be identified, managed, mitigated
then closed before revenue service. Most of the System Safety activities are performed before revenue
service in such a way safety is ensured from day one.
The Life Cycle Cost requirements are not addressed in this document.
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT
The purpose of this document is to define the main principles that the Contractor shall implement in
order to manage the Safety of the system throughout the Project.
These principles shall apply to any Contractor/Subcontractor involved in the development of the
Project’s safety-related systems.
The goal of safety management is to prevent the occurrence of random faults and systematic faults
over the whole HPLM System lifecycle.
Therefore, this document covers safety and quality process, methodological and technical, operational
and managerial issues of the safety-related systems.
1.3 SCOPE OF THE DOCUMENT
This document covers the Design, Build and T&C and Trial Running stages of the Project.
The principles defined within this document shall apply to the Hanoi Pilot Light Metro Line System in
general and to all safety-related systems in particular.
This document covers the CP06 systems of the rail System. Thus, this document concerns the
following systems:
The rolling Stock,
The signalling
The OCC, ICS and Telecom,
The Power Supply, and
The Depot Equipment.
The system E&M, Building services, Track and AFC will be considered in an update.

environmental control and tunnel ventilation systems, Dewatering system for stations and tunnels,
Water supply system, Lighting system (except in the Tunnel)
2
: including Low voltage, Plumbing and Lighting in the Tunnel
3
: including Low voltage and Plumbing
The Contractor shall be responsible throughout the course of this Contract to bring to the attention of
Employer, in writing, any changes in such laws, rules, orders, regulations and codes and any
condition(s), whether caused by its design, any Contract requirement, or any other basis, which it
believes might result in, or has resulted in, an unsafe condition.
The Contractor shall remain fully responsible, at its own expense, to rectify any such condition that
results from its design and not directly as a result of any Contract requirement.
2.5 SYSTEM BREAKDOWN
The Overall System can be broken down into the Structure Part (Civil Works), the Rail System part
and the Depot Infrastructure.
As far as the Structure Part is concerned safety of Stations & Facilities, Workshop and along the line
(viaduct and tunnel parts) is ensured via compliance with Regulations (especially with NFPA 130,
2007 Edition), Design Standards and Criteria. This compliance shall be ensured via independent
checking.
As far as the Rail System is concerned, the Contractor will present the functional tree of its Systems in
the functional level specifications. The Contractor shall provide a functional architecture which will be
made up of functional modules. All interfaces shall be clearly identified.
As the Design is developed, the Contractor will present the technical tree of the systems in the
technical level specifications.
The Contractor shall propose a hierarchical tree and a definition of each item composing the technical
breakdown of the systems. For example, the following one:
System, the highest level of the system breakdown,
Subsystem, the middle level of the system breakdown,
Component, the lowest level of the system breakdown.
For each system/subsystem delivered, the Contractor shall provide the Employer/Engineer with its
technical tree in a document called Product Breakdown Structure.
2.6 SAFETY INTEGRITY LEVELS
The standard [EN 50129] specifies five Safety Integrity Levels (SILs). The required Safety Integrity
Level shall be decided on the basis of the level of risks (see details in part [5.2.5] to [5.2.8]).
The Contractor shall allocate a SIL at functional level and functional modules level. As well,
Contractor shall assign to all Systems/Subsystems/Components a Safety Integrity Level (SIL). This
allocation of SIL shall be approved by the Employer/Engineer.
The Contractor shall propose design, implementation techniques and measures depending on the SIL
of the function to be performed by each individual System, Subsystem or Component.
2.7 SOFTWARE SAFETY MANAGEMENT
Cf. Appendix 02 to this document for a complete description of the Software RAMS requirements.
2.8 SAFETY OF INTERFACES
Safety related interfaces shall be identified by the Contractor for the System it provides. The
Contractor shall manage the safety-related interfaces with the other contractors involved, i.e.:
ensure the integration of the safety requirements coming from other systems interfacing in its
own safety demonstration
export safety requirement to systems interfacing when needed, ascertaining the information
has been taken into account.
2.9 SAFETY WITHIN THE SYSTEM LIFE CYCLE
In order to control both quality and safety of the systems, the Contractor shall implement the concept
of double V-cycle which comprises:
Development
Design Validation
Manufacture
This V-cycle is detailed in the Appendix 01 of this document which illustrates an example of the
various steps of the system design and validation. This is compliant with [EN 50126] and [EN 50129].
The Contractor may propose a different system lifecycle provided that a clear mapping between the
adopted phases, including the combination of individual phases, is given. Where phases are combined,
then the Contractor shall ensure that all of the requirements for the individual phases are collectively
met.
All the phases constituting the development V-cycle implemented by the Contractor for the system
shall be detailed in terms of:
Objectives for the phase,
Methodologies used to carry out the safety activities during the phase,
Input documentation,
Output documentation.
The Contractor shall produce and maintain a Traceability Matrix that demonstrates that all
requirements have been achieved and no untraceable material has been included.
In order to control its safety, the safety-related systems shall be designed and validated according to a
strictly defined Safety V-cycle. An overview of this V-cycle is given in the figure here below:
Safety
Safety Safety
Requirements Requirements
Definition Validation
Manufacture
Therefore, the safety related systems must follow a double V-cycle as shown hereafter.
Contractor
Development Safety
Safety Safety
Requirements Requirements

Design Validation
Manufacture
by the Contractor. This schedule shall define when the documentation is to be submitted in the
lifecycle and what is the status of each document (for information, for review, for acceptance). This
schedule shall be attached to the Master Schedule of the Contractor, and shall be delivered to the
Employer/Engineer for acceptance.
The system documentation produced by the Contractor shall be of two different types:
The Development documentation, written by the Contractor’s Development teams.
Typically, this documentation will be made of the System Specifications, the System
Validation Plan, the System Test Specifications and the System Validation Reports.
The Safety documentation, written by the Contractor’s Safety team. Typically, this
documentation is constituted by the various Safety Cases but also by any detailed Safety
studies and Safety Validation Studies supporting these Safety Cases. The Contractor’s Safety
team shall also produce a Hazard Log identifying and tracing the processing of all the Safety
Requirements until their closure. Safety Requirements pointing to the O&M Entity shall be
identified separately.
2.11 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
The system configuration management activity shall be carried out by the Contractor. The Contractor
shall produce a System Configuration Management Plan to cover changes that occur during the
development phases and to monitor the system configuration.
When system design changes are planned and/or performed, the organizations responsible for the
system changes shall ensure that review and any necessary updates of relevant Safety Acceptance
Documents take place. The impact of the change shall be explained in the context of safety. General
rules for differentiating between design changes and routine maintenance should be included in the
safety case.
The System Configuration Management Plan shall refer to the configuration management of the
Contractor in terms of configuration control, problem reporting, change control, media control and
configuration management tools.
2.12 TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
A hold point shall be respected between the installation stage and the T&C stage. Thus, for the safety
of T&C activities, installation clearance (Post Installation Checkouts, PICO) should be confirmed and
approved by the Employer/Engineer prior to starting tests.
An installation checklist prepared and maintained by the Contractor shall be counter-signed by the
Contractor and the Engineer after the satisfactory completion of each part constituting a system.
On satisfactory completion of all installation checklists (including safety-related items) for a group of
works, the relevant authority will issue an Installation Clearance Certificate (Post Installation
Checkouts, PICO) which is a prerequisite to start System, Subsystems or Component T&C.
The Design Safety Case and the Hazard Log showing the evidence that the hazards have been
mitigated at design stage is required to start the installation activity, then the T&C activity.
Any non-conformity shall be identified and analysed from a safety point of view before the
authorisation is granted to carry out dynamic testing.
In the event of a safety related non-conformity is covered by a procedure during the testing period, this
procedure shall be approved by the Employer/Engineer.
The safety procedures for T&C shall be specified in the relevant testing procedures of each T&C Plan,
including, where necessary, the protection measures for any part of the Transportation System which is
already in operation. The system’s specific safety requirements coming from Hazard Log shall be
addressed in these procedures, respecting traceability procedure defined in the system safety plan.
In the period of T&C, modifications on design or installation may become necessary when non-
conformance to the safety validation occurs. If modifications in design are needed, they shall
follow the procedures of both the System Development Plan and the System Configuration
Management Plan.
2.13 HUMAN FACTORS
The Contractor shall consider human factors in his safety studies and demonstrate that the design is
consistent with the minimisation of human delay and error, so far as is reasonably practicable, and the
optimisation of the efficiency of operatives. This demonstration involves consultation with the
Engineer and is carried out using recognised techniques of ergonomics, human error and task analysis
with suitable reference to the proposed method of operating the Transportation System. Assumptions
concerning procedures and staffing arrangements shall be clearly defined by the Contractor.
2.14 DATA REPORTING AND CORRECTIVE ACTION SYSTEM (DRACAS)
DRACAS shall be established by the Contractor to provide a documented history of problems and
failures that occur during manufacture, construction and installation. It shall indicate how and why
each problem arose and present corrective action options.
DRACAS shall be implemented by the Contractor for monitoring the safety and RAM performance of
the equipment, during manufacture, installation, testing and commissioning into operation and also the
maintenance of the system to provide feedback to the design of this equipment.
DRACAS shall be used to monitor the performance of components and to identify patterns of failures
so that corrective action can be taken.
A specific part of the System Safety Plan must be dedicated to the traceability of safety requirements
and mitigation means into the safety process, from Design phase to Revenue Service.
Therefore, a codification system shall be defined by the Contractor in its System Safety Plan.
Every safety requirement or mitigation means shall be:
Referenced in the System Hazard Log by a unique code,
Addressed as much as needed in development and safety documentation thanks to its unique
reference.
It is the Contractor responsibility to ensure the system is developed, tested and delivered on time. To
do so, the Contractor shall create and maintain a RAMS Detailed Work Schedule. From this schedule
it shall be possible to identify critical paths, slippage and resources.
As part of any overall reporting mechanism to the Engineer, progress information shall be included
relating to the systems. In addition to regularly producing an updated RAMS Detailed Work Schedule
the Contractor shall indicate which phases are not begun, in progress or completed.
The Engineer shall have full access to the Contractor and all its contractors/subcontractors. The
Contractor shall agree and record the access required by the Engineer.
One approach enables securing the necessary safety approvals from the Safety Authority relies on
cross-acceptance by the Safety Authority of the Safety Cases from other projects, which have been
assessed, reviewed and approved by an independent agency or other recognised competent body.
Whichever approach is adopted, the involved Contractor is responsible for providing the appropriate
level of documentation (see part [4.10]).
Whenever the Contractor adopts a cross acceptance strategy, he shall seek for the Approval of the
Safety Authority to use such a “not Vietnamese” reference within the project as earliest as possible
during the Construction Design phase.
3. ORGANISATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
3.1 THE CONTRACTOR
The Contractor shall produce the various Safety Cases of the technical system it provides (excluding
O&M Rules), according to the standard [EN 50126].
The Contractor is responsible for the Safety of the system it provides.
The Contractor shall set up a Safety Team independent from the Design and Building Team, able to

Engineer deems it necessary. If deemed needed, the Engineer can carry out any Technical
Review or HAZOP Session on the top of those planned by the Contractor in its System Safety
Program.
An Independent Safety Assessor (ISA) with appropriate skills may be appointed. The ISA
shall be given adequate means to perform the Safety Assessment tasks (see part [3.4]).
The Contractor shall address any question or request for information raised by the ISA.
3.2 THE O&M ENTITY
The O&M Entity is in charge to integrate the O&M requirements exported from Hazard Log into the
Operating and Maintenance procedures developed for the project. When an exported requirement
assessed seems unfounded from an O&M point of view, the O&M Entity can request the arbitrage of
the Employer.
3.3 PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION CONSULTANT
SYSTRA – France is a Consultant for implementing Project
3.4 THE INDEPENDENT SAFETY ASSESSOR
The Independent Safety Assessor (ISA) may be appointed.
When appointed, the ISA shall be given adequate authority and means to perform the Safety
Assessment tasks, which deal with assessing whenever the specified safety targets of the project are
reached.
The ISA shall carry out the Safety Assessment Audits at the Contractor’s premises when he deems it
necessary (at any stage of the project).
If deemed needed, the ISA can carry out some technical reviews which are not as formal as the audits
and focus on particular technical issues, especially when some documentation, for whatever reasons,
are not provided to the Engineer.
3.5 THE INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE ASSESSOR
Software supporting functions allocated with Safety Integrity Level 1 (SIL 1) and above shall meet the
requirement identified by EN 50 128.
For these software, an Independent Software Assessor (ISwA) shall perform an assessment as per EN
50 128 requirement.
At the discretion of the Safety Authority, the Assessor may be part of the contractor’s organization, but
he shall:
be authorized by the Safety Authority,
be totally independent from the project team,
report directly to the Safety Authority.
See part [2.7]
The Contractor shall apply the following standards in the way shown by the following table:
Quality Safety
RAMS EN 50126
Hardware ISO 9001 EN 50129(*)
Software ISO 9000-3 EN 50128
Figure 5: Standards to be applied
(*): CENELEC EN 50129 is dedicated to Communication, Signalling and Processing systems.
However, the methodology and requirements defined in this standard to produce Safety Case - and all
safety studies it is composed of - shall be followed by the Contractor to establish its Safety Case.
The Contractor shall set down in the System Safety Plan his approach and commitment to safety in a
statement of safety policy endorsed by senior management.
The Contractor is responsible for the management of safety it provides and the means by which
adequate safety justification of the system will be ensured at various stages in the system life cycle.
This information about safety management within the life-cycle is presented by the Contractor in the
System Safety Plan.
The Safety Plan shall be a standalone document. This document shall cover, as a minimum, the
following items:
Referenced safety standards and documents,
Safety management principles,
Description of the systems/subsystems,
Safety organisation,
o Independence of Safety Team,
o Safety roles & responsibility,
The process is started early in the project and repeated as design proceeds so that at every stage,
hazards can be removed and the residual risks of accidents could be minimized.
At the beginning of the Construction design stage, the Contractor shall perform a Preliminary Hazard
Analysis (PHA). The input to this PHA draws from experience from other similar systems and from
the system design tender documents.
This PHA takes the high level hazards to classify the severity and frequency of occurrence. Preventive
or mitigation measures to the hazards identified are also included in this PHA.
System PHA initializes Overall System Hazard Log which is an input to the Contractors Hazard
Analysis: System level PHA, System Hazard Analysis (SHA), Interface Hazard Analysis (IHA) and
Operating & Support Hazard Analysis (OSHA) where a lower level of analysis is performed by the
Contractors.
The identified hazards are captured via the Hazard Log (MS Excel worksheet) and risk classification is
given based on the severity and frequency categories as defined here above.
A “top level hazard Log” (Overall System Hazard Log) integrates all “hazard Log” of the CPXX.
The safety team of the contractor will manage hazards that were raised in the PHA.
If a hazard has been closed by design (i.e. a hazard whose status is “Design Closed”), but it includes
mitigations deemed to be controlled by the Operator or Maintainer, then it shall be highlighted and
transferred to the Operator/Maintainer for appropriate action. The transfer and registration of Overall
System hazards is managed solely by the Engineer. The safety team of the contractor should highlight
in their individual hazard logs those hazards that are solely or partly owned by the Operator such that
the Overall System is up to date on these hazards. In addition those exported safety requirements shall
all be gathered in a specific safety document like the Safety Related Application Conditions (SRAC).
Confirmation and acceptance of the transfer will be transmitted to the Engineer and safety team of the
contractor for reference and inclusion in their respective hazard logs.
Where practicable, hazards will be compiled and submitted in batches to the Operator.
The risk acceptance criteria are driven by the Risk Assessment matrix: risks shall be mitigated to an
acceptable level.
For the risks which are Tolerable and Undesirable, the Contractor shall demonstrate the risk has been
reduced ALARP.
To demonstrate the risk has been reduced ALARP, the following criteria shall be used (in order of
priority)
show compliance with standards applicable to the project
use of product already accepted by internationally recognised railways agency: “proven in
use”
perform a Cost Benefit Analysis
The Cost Benefit Analysis should be used as less as possible, priority shall be given to technical
argument. Whenever such an analysis would be conducted, the value of a life saved shall be
determined by the Safety Authority.
The purpose of the “Design Safety Studies” is to document the process of design to ensure that it
incorporates the general principle of minimising risk in design as a first priority.
“Design Safety Studies” shall be prepared for system and sub-system elements that are considered to
be safety critical or related. “Design Safety Studies” is necessary for elements that require hazard
analysis to a greater level of detail and with a greater level of knowledge of the design (both for
hardware and software components).
The System level Hazard Analysis process and the Hazard Log shall form a baseline for the “Design
Safety Studies”.
The “Design Safety Studies” shall be implemented using recognized quantitative and qualitative
techniques, which may be expected according to specific requirements.
into account the Overall System level Preliminary Hazard Analysis and the specificities of the project,
especially the environmental conditions.
The Contractor shall treat at least the hazards identified within the Overall System level Draft
Preliminary Hazard Analysis for the system it provides, and develop it as needed.
4.6.2 Failure Mode, Effects & Criticality Analysis and SIL Allocation
At interim Construction Design Outline Stage, the Contractor shall carry out a functional Failure
Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA): this analysis shall assess the consequence of the
failure of each function performed by the system it provides.
Within the FMECA, the Contractor shall ensure:
the integration of the safety requirements coming from other systems interfacing in its own
safety demonstration
the export of safety requirement to systems interfacing when needed. These requirements shall
be handed over to the Employer/Engineer for approval.
The purpose of this analysis is to identify the criticality of the function and allocate the appropriate
SIL. This allocation shall be summarised in the SIL Allocation Document. Criteria for allocation of
SIL are described hereafter.
For the Critical and Catastrophic Hazards, Quantitative Risk Assessment shall be carried out by the
involved Contractor to demonstrate their frequency has been reduced to an acceptable level.
The demonstration of system safety by the Contractor shall be undertaken via the concept of Safety
Cases.
The structure of the Safety Cases shall be in accordance to the standards [EN 50129], namely:
Part 1: Definition of System,
Part 2: Quality Management Report,
Part 3: Safety Management Report,
Part 4: Technical Safety Report,
Part 5: Related Safety Cases,
Part 6: Conclusion.
The traceability of safety requirement and mitigations means through the safety related
documentation, from Design phase to the end of Trial Running, must be ensured by the Safety process
set up by the Contractor (see part [2.15]).
The Safety Case is meant to be reviewed by the Engineer and possibly assessed by the ISA and
software assessed by the ISwA before its acceptance by the Safety Authority.
The Safety Case shall be supported by Hazard Analysis and Design Safety studies (see part [4.6]) to be
submitted to the Engineer.
By the end of the Design Stage, the Contractor shall produce a Design Safety Case dealing with safety
requirements status of integration at Design Stage. This Design Safety Case summarizes the safety
analyses and brings the evidence that:
the overall risk criteria for the system have been addressed satisfactorily at the Design stage
and that the Design proposals are mutually compatible with such risk criteria,

engineering safety verification tests results that all safety design criteria have been achieved or shall
otherwise propose remedial action to ensure that safety design criteria shall be complied with.
The Contractor shall provide a Final Safety Case to the Employer/Engineer for approval (see part
4.10).
The Final Safety Case shall demonstrate that the system is fit for the purpose of commencing Trial
Running.
Its format should be identical to the System Design Safety Case (see part[4.7]).
The Safety Case is meant to be reviewed by the Engineer and possibly assessed by the ISA and
software assessed by the ISwA before its acceptance by the Safety Authority.
The Safety Case shall be supported by Hazard Analysis, Interface Hazard Analysis, Safety Studies &
Safety Validation Studies and an Operating and Support Hazard Analysis to be submitted to the
Engineer.
The Safety Case produced by the Contractor for a safety related electronic systems it provides shall
follow the pattern mentioned in the standard [EN 50129], including for each safety-related system:
The Final Safety Case shall make traceable reference to system documentation that shall demonstrate
as a minimum the following requirements have been met:
the system has been manufactured, installed and tested up to and including Integrated System
Testing in a manner to ensure that the system can be operated and maintained as approved in
the System Design Safety Case and that there are no safety issues outstanding,
the recommended safety performance criteria and safety thresholds for the safe operation and
maintenance of the system have been set,
the standards and specifications upon which the safe operation and maintenance of the system
are based have been set,
the safe process, rules and procedures required to operate and maintain the system within the
defined parameters as approved to minimise or mitigate risks in the “System Design Safety
Case” have been verified.
The Final Safety Case shall be approved by the Employer/Engineer prior to the commencement of
Trial Running.
The Contractor shall continue to implement safety activities during the Trial Running until the
transition to revenue service.
The Contractor shall describe specific activities to be carried out during the period of Trial Running in
its System Safety Plan.
Indeed, in addition to the validation of technical and functional aspects of the system provided by the
Contractor during the period of Trial Running, O&M procedures exhaustiveness and effectiveness will
be assessed, and particularly safety related procedures. The validation of safety related procedures at
Overall System level could lead to add or modify some safety requirement impacting the System
provided by the Contractor.
Moreover, the Contractor shall provide support to the Operator to ensure that the documentation and
safety related procedures have been fully assimilated into the Operator’s Safety Management System
and organization.
The Contractor shall provide a definitive Final Safety Case during Trial Running Phase taken into
account the return of experience accumulated during the Trial Running.
The Revenue Service will not start until the definitive edition of the Final Safety Case has been
approved by the Employer/Engineer and the Safety Authority.
5. SAFETY TARGETS
5.1 RISK DEFINITION AND CATEGORISATION
Risk is defined as a combination between the frequency of occurrence of hazard(s) and severity of the
corresponding hazard(s).
Hazards shall be categorised according to both their frequency of occurrence and their severity as per
the [EN 50126] approach. All this is described below.
Occurrence
B Probable R1 R1 R2 R3
Hazard
C Occasional R1 R2 R2 R3
D Remote R2 R2 R3 R4
E Improbable R3 R3 R4 R4
F Incredible R4 R4 R4 R4
Table 3
Where:
Risk Definition
R1 Intolerable Unacceptable. Shall be eliminated.
R2 Undesirable Shall only be accepted when risk reduction is impracticable and with the
agreement of Employer or the local Safety Authority
R3 Tolerable Acceptable with adequate control and the agreement of the Client
R4 Negligible Acceptable
Table 4
Each risk shall be assessed to determine which zone it belongs to.
5.2 RISK MITIGATION STRATEGY
According the level of their acceptability, the risks shall be managed in different ways.
Have been used successfully in revenue service for at least two years since the end of warranty
of the system, at the date of the Contractor’s bid.
Allow to be easily customized to the needs of a new project.
Techniques not complying with those requirements or for which the documentation establishing
compliance with the present requirements is not available or insufficient will be rejected.
At least, the fire fighting and prevention of the HPLM Transportation system shall be designed taking
into account the NFPA 130 ed. 2007 standard and the Vietnamese regulation (particularly the standard
TCVN-1995 Fire protection of building – Design Requirements).
The Contractor shall produce a Fire Engineering Plan for the system it provides, which shall be
developed into a program indicating the criteria and predicted timings for the choice of materials
(including paints), submission of test certifications and test of materials.
The Contractor shall seek the acceptance of its Fire Engineering Plan by the Engineer.
5.3.5 Track
The frequency of a failure or a combination of failure leading to a potential derailment (undetected
switch movement for instance) shall be less than 10-10 /hour for each point machine.
5.3.7 Signalling
The following Safety Integrity Levels are required for the main ATC/Signalling functions. The ATC,
ATP and Interlocking System shall at least be assigned with an overall SIL4 level.
The Contractor will remain responsible for performing extensive safety analysis and allocate
additional Safety Integrity Level for any safety critical or safety related function.
