1. FOREWORD
This standard is part of the system setup by the Renault group to control the safety and regulatory compliance of its
Products, considering the state of the art of the market and customer requirements.
"Products" include parts (“bought-out Parts” BOP, in house Parts of OEM and in after-sales), mechanical
components, systems, modules and accessories (all equipment intended to be integrated into an automotive vehicle).
It applies to Products developed by the Renault group or its suppliers, within the framework of design, manufacturing
(plant, converter, service provider, etc...) and repair.
It is the basic standard for the identification, characterisation and marking of Products in relation to safety and
regulations.
It then refers to or is further divided into standards that are detailed and specific to processes, methods or other
standards.
- parts “purchased off-the-shelf” (definition according to the RPIFASENG20180156: “create and distribute -FEX”)
Note 2: for the meaning of the acronyms used in this standard, refer to Appendix 9 "Glossary of Acronyms".
Note 3: in terms of safety, by customer we mean not only the driver, but also his passengers, other road users
(including pedestrians, cyclists, maintenance and rescue workers, etc.), manufacturing and maintenance operators,
After-Sales network personnel, etc.
2. PURPOSE
- what is a Safety or Regulatory Special Characteristic (referred to as an SRC or S/R characteristic), including
those associated with the manufacturing and assembly of this product
- the associated obligations for the Renault group and bought-out parts suppliers
- the rules for identifying marking of the S or R in the technical documentation for defining Product, Process and
After-Sales Service (specifications, standards, drawings, assembly operation sheet “FOP A”, Generic policy
monitoring “FOP S”, standard operation sheet “FOS”, etc.), and the associated Information Systems (SIGNE,
New PDM, REVS, ONEVAL, etc.).
It relates both products manufactured and reworked by suppliers, products manufactured, reworked and assembled
in a Powertrain assembly Plant or in a Vehicle Assembly Plant, as well as repaired products.
Note 1: moreover, suppliers must apply the general requirements defined in:
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
Note 2: This standard does not deal with the identification of characteristics classification grades (HCPP) defined in
the standard 01-33-301, nor the marking of electric connections (E) mentioned in the standard 01-58-904
- to inform all Renault participants and Suppliers about the safety or regulatory nature of the product
- to identify in a unique and homogeneous manner the Products related to Safety or Regulation, the S or R
characteristics (SRC), the operations and workstations related to these products and characteristics
- to locate and insure the traceability of these characteristics and products in the technical documentation, in
tools and associated Information Systems of the various sectors of the Renault Group and its Suppliers
(Product/Process Design, Logistics, Manufacturing, Repair, etc.)
- to inform all the participants in these sectors that these products and S/R characteristics are subject to specific
rules and obligations (in design, production, monitoring if necessary, during product-process development, in
case of nonconformity or defect, for record retention, etc.)
The technical documents relevant for the marking contain Safety or Regulatory characteristics or, alternatively, refer
to the concept of S/R products. It refers to generic or project documentation used for design, manufacture, control,
rework, repair.
A safety or regulation product is a product for which a failure, defect, absence or modification (in development or
mass production) may directly or indirectly lead to:
- one or more potential safety issue(s) (“EICps” / UCEps)
and/or
- non-compliance with one or more regulations or a homologation file
The safety or regulatory nature of the product must be especially defined in the functional specification and its
appendices (e.g.: Metier standard drawing related to regulations, safety and homologation), RSCL/ “RRSH”
standard drawing, table of disrupted service functions, “IGD” sheet, etc.).
Note 1: UCEps are defined in AEK-D-00051 (not transferable outside the Alliance)
Note 2: the definition of the symbol S and the symbol R as well as the marking rules are a part of the document
RNES-A-20011 for the Alliance
Note 3: the definition of Safety Products / Safety special characteristics is also described in AEK-A-00058.
Note 4: an assembled product that contains safety or regulatory components shall itself be considered as a
safety or regulatory product to which all the rules defined in this standard must apply
Note 5: a safety or regulatory product, may not contain any S or R characteristics (refer to 4.1.2).
Example of S or R product (without S/R characteristics): fuel system anti-shock protector

A bought-out part, in house part will be qualified as "safety product" (or S product), when it meets one or more of
the criteria below:
✓ It is directly or indirectly linked to one or more “EICps”/ UCEps, possibly without having identified any S
characteristic leading to one UCEps for this product
The notion of direct or indirect link is defined in standard 01-33-210
✓ It must be present and conform to type in order to ensure the customer's safety (ensure the supply, and
then the assembly of the right part number in plant)
✓ A safety function is integrated into the part or is identified at its interfaces (including for ECU hardware:
refer to Note 4)
✓ It is subjected to safety requirement(s) in a safety concept (e.g. safety product used in redundancy with
another part)
✓ It is related to a QM rated event according to an ASIL allocation for a Mechatronic system (e.g. E/E
sensor) according to the requirements of standard ISO 26262
✓ it has proven safety issues cases in development or in the field (Safety Unique List of Issue / “LUP”,
Recall)
Note 2: an intrinsically safe product (i.e. a product whose failure can in no way lead to an “EICps” / UCEps) due
to its design or setup has not to be considered as a safety product
Note 3: because of its design or setup, the same inherently safe product for one project may not be inherently
safe for another project
Note 4: an ECU hosting safety functions (e.g. Airbag ECU), should therefore at least be considered as a safety
product
A bought-out part, in house part will be qualified as "regulation product" (or R-product), when it meets one or more
of the criteria below:
✓ It is related to one or more regulations. The R product may not have any R characteristic leading to
regulatory non-compliance
✓ It must be present and compliant to type approval in order to ensure regulatory compliance (ensure the
supply & the assembly of the right part number in plant)

Preamble: a characteristic is a piece of information that allows to define (characterise) a part, a manufacturing
operation, a repair operation, a design specification, a design rule, a test method… Then, all information
included in, for example, a drawing, a standard operation sheet “FOP”, a global operation sheet “FOS”, a design
specification, a standard or a procedure, are to be considered such as characteristics.
A safety or regulatory characteristic (or SRC or S/R characteristic), is a characteristic whose failure, or defect,
may directly lead to:
Any product that contains at least one S or R characteristic is a safety or regulatory product (S/R product).
An S or R characteristic is one of the special characteristics according to IATF 16949 and to ANPQP Standard ©.
A special characteristic as defined by IATF 16949 is not necessarily an S or R characteristic: for example, it could
be a characteristic that impacts performance without safety or regulatory effect.
Examples:
Product characteristics:
- geometrical / dimensional: length, radius, diameter, surface condition, thickness, clearance, etc.
- functional: resistance to strength, number of cycles, pressure, resistance to a temperature, tightness, etc.
(according to a defined calculation or test procedure)
- reference to a design specification, a standard, a test procedure, which are containing safety or regulatory
criteria
- physical size: volume, temperature, pressure, etc.
- material characteristics: kind of material, material composition, hardness, yield limit, etc.
Process characteristics:
- tightening torque, heat treatment, tightness control, glue drying time, camera control, etc.
- tightening order, workstation instruction (push/pull, check presence)
Note 1: the concepts of feasibility and cost are not involved in any way in the definition and marking of a S/R
characteristic (only the severity of the customer effect and the consequences with respect to regulations are to be
considered)
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
Note 2: in this document, in order not to burden the text, the word "characteristic" may often be used instead of
"special characteristic". Of course, in the context of this document, when using the wording "special characteristic"
without mention of “safety” or “regulatory” just before, it is implicit that it should be understood as “safety special
characteristic” or “regulatory special characteristic”
The safety special characteristics are identified using the logic described in Appendix 6.
It is based on:
✓ the application of design processes, methods and tools (Functional analysis, HARA, Disrupted service
functions, failure mode grade identification sheet, technical functional analysis, “HCPP”, product FMEA,
process FMEA, support FMEA, flow FMEA, MQA, FTA, Chain of dimensions, etc.)
✓ exploitation of experience feedback (incidentology, recall, unique list of issues, world watch, etc.)
✓ application of standards (Technical policy, RNDS, Safety, Regulation, and Homologation standard
drawings, etc.)
If the failure mode of the product leads to a QM-rated customer or system event (as defined in ISO
26262), it is considered that it is not necessary to mark the characteristics related to this failure mode
with the S symbol : in that case a hierarchization HCPP level 1 is sufficient (refer to note
NS2018_66043_SdF_130).
Note 1: For the Alliance, there is a guideline AEK-A-00045 describing the principles for determining whether a
part is to be considered as an S/R product and whether S/R characteristics are to be searched for
• Functional characteristics
- Examples of functional features directly related to an UCEps → need an S marking of the characteristic
• Example 1: resistance to engine flywheel bursting according to procedure XXX (UCEps 58-1)
• Example 2: tightness at max. pressure without fuel pipe leakage (UCEps 33)
• Example 3: F1 flame retardancy of the engine air filter according to DIN XXX (UCEps 32)
• Example 4: opening pressure of a pressure relief valve greater than XX bar
- These functional characteristics are deployed for all dimensional or material characteristics of the
various sub-components of the part (in the drawing specified by Renault or in the suppliers' detailed
drawings for bought-out parts tier 1 to N): for each of these characteristics, if the design margin (safety
margin) is sufficient, then the S marking of the corresponding characteristic can be removed.
The S marking for a functional characteristic does not always mean putting an S marking for all
contributing characteristics (of the functional characteristic)!
In order to ensure conformity, the control plan can focus either on the control of the functional characteristic (if
feasible and relevant) or on the contributing characteristics.
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
• Dimensional characteristics
- dimensional characteristics with an insufficient safety margin (TI) with respect to the safety limit values →
need S marking of the characteristic itself
When the product or process characteristic is directly related to an UCEps, but a sufficient design
margin (safety margin) can be justified, then it is possible not to mark S this characteristic in the body
of the drawing.
In this case, the marking S will be retained in the title block as a safety product
Note 1: for powertrain engineering parts, in accordance with the safety objectives defined in the standard
01-33-210, the S marking is consecutive to:
- the possibility that the safety-related characteristic of a product is not created during manufacturing and
may cause a failure mode able to reach the final customer
or
- an insufficient margin of safety (Example: possible safety effect when an TI/2 “Tolerance Interval/2” of
a tolerated product characteristic is exceeded → Refer to appendix 7)
Note 2: in some cases, the concept of enough design or safety margin is left to the judgment of the design
engineer while remaining consistent with the safety objectives, and must be justified
• Material characteristics
- material or material characteristics without any identified link with an UCEps → Need No S marking
- characteristics of the material are related to at least one UCEps → Need S marking of the impacted
material characteristics
- the material nature itself is linked to at least one UCEps → need S marking of the material
✓ The application of the O25 process "Anticipate and deploy new regulations - ensure regulatory compliance to
allow vehicle registration" (procedure RPIFFPVV3P20110462 "Define the characteristics of the Regulations
and deploy them in the Metiers", and Instruction RPIFDRTHM20110008 "Document and update the DER" ...).
✓ The application of Metier standards (Definition and deployment of Regulatory Requirements “DER”, Monitoring
Grid of regulatory compliance “GSCR”, technical policy, standard drawings, RNDS, technical design rules,
etc.)
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
✓ Analysis of operational feedback (Recall, unique list of issues, plant feedback, regulatory worldwide watch,
etc.)
- raw material (e.g.: PA6, PA66, Cast iron GGV25, GL Cast iron, Steel xxx)
- characteristics / properties of this material (e.g. additive content, tensile strength, hardness, etc.)
As with other characteristics, a defect affecting the (raw) material is likely to generate a safety or regulatory effect
and therefore may be marked S or R.
Priority should be given to the identification of the properties or precise characteristics of the material, which
may directly jeopardise safety control or regulatory compliance in case of defect.
In this case, the S/R marking refers to these precise values (as many S/R markings as characteristics to be
monitored) and requires the definition of a control plan adapted to these values (e.g. radiographic control,
spectrometric control, hardness control, test, etc.).
Examples of properties: minimum mechanical strength, hardness, Young's modulus, tensile strength.
Examples of characteristics: maximum sulphur content, chemical composition in %, additive content, material
grade, heat treatment.
Depending on the kind of bought-out parts (Raw, Machined, Assembled) and the entity in charge of design, the
accountability for identifying S/R characteristics is either to Renault (Renault Design accountability) or to Tier 1
Supplier (also in charge of Tier N Suppliers management).
In such cases:
- either it is not possible to identify specific characteristics
- or manufacturing and control processes are deemed robust enough (robustness about possible
dispersions) by Renault or by Supplier
- or just taking care to use the right raw material. Then, the risk to be controlled is limited to avoid using the
wrong material.
It is then the very nature of the raw material that is considered important without the need to identify any
characteristic of the material.
In this case, the S/R symbol refers to the material as such: kind of material, Material Reference Sheet,
standardised product description EN, ISO, etc., reference to the Renault Material Panel, commercial description
of the product.
Examples: a specific glue reference, a specific reference of thermal insulation, an exact reference of used
material.
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
Note 1: the substances contained within the material must comply with regulations (REACH):
- for parts, with RNES-B-00027 "Prohibited or restricted substances in parts – Listing, and declaration
modes"
or
- for chemical products, with Standard 00-10-050 "Prohibited and Restricted Substances in Chemicals
List, and declaration modes"
Note 2: For recycling, the list of parts subjected to the regulations is defined by Recycling “Customer performance
Requirements Pilot” (“PPC”) for each Project following the standard 00-10-060 "design for recyclability"
Note 3: the material can also be marked R064 for regulation recycling
Note 4: drawings must be done and signed according to standard 01-00-510 "Technical Drawings - Electronic
Signature of part drawings by Materials Engineering Department”
The conformity management requires the definition of a control plan to guarantee the use of the required material
and prevent the risk of using another product (mill test certificate from tier 2 to tier 1 and/or analysis of material
composition by the tier 1 supplier)
The drawing must refer to the standards or specifications applied, for example:
- specifications 34-05-059 "Arc welding quality assurance documentation content for exhaust bought-out
part"
- specification 34-05-012 "Exhaust line: MIG and MAG welding beads quality"
Welds that contribute to Safety or Regulatory compliance can be marked as S/R characteristics (SRC).
The standard drawings related to Regulation, Safety and Homologation (part drawing or assembly drawing) are
engineering standards and constitute an input data for the creation of part drawings. They are present in the
functional Design Specifications.
Note 1: depending on technical departments, these standard drawings have several wordings (RSH standard
drawing, rating standard drawing, metier standard drawing, standard drawing, etc.)
They mainly contain:
- the relevant regulations through regulatory labels (refer to 7.3.3)
- the relevant safety aspects through dedicated notes (refer to 7.3.2)
- and if required S or R characteristics
Writing down this information on the final part drawing applied to a given project is necessary (*) but not enough.
(*) unless it can be demonstrated that the technical definition or the architecture removes the risk in relation to the
UCEps for a given project, or the regulations do not apply for the given project.
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
Within the framework of projects, additional safety special characteristics can be identified if required, through the
analysis of Safety functions (example of a safety function: fuel sealing):
Note 2: if the S or R characteristics (SRC) of the standard drawing are not applicable for a given technical
definition, the absence of SRC does not mean that the product is no longer a safety or regulatory product. In the
part drawing the S or R symbol mark in the title block remains necessary (except if it can be demonstrated that
the product is no longer a safety or regulatory product).
• S or R Operation
An S or R operation (or S/R operation) is an operation regarding manufacturing, control, rework or repair and
related to one or more SRC (S/R characteristic). These SRC can be product or process characteristics.
A logistic operation (packaging, unpacking, handling, transport, storage, etc.), which may impact the conformity
of an S/R product is considered as an S or R operation.
Examples of S or R Operation:
- Screwing operation of the transmission nut with an automatic controlled screw gun (Poka yoke for
screwing; computer assisted tightening)
- Opening by the logistic department of a cardboard box containing seat belts (use of the cutter prohibited)
• S or R Workstations
Example of S or R Workstation: transmissions assembly workstation (supply, gearbox fitting, nut screwing)
The S/R workstations are derived from the identification of S/R operations.
A workstation where an S/R product is assembled may not be considered as an S/R workstation:
- if the assembly/control operations carried out at the workstation are not themselves S or R
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
- if there are no criteria related to the type approval conformity (such as guarantee the assembly or the
supply of the right part number), or there is no presence criterion, or no non-damage criterion
Example: cabin trim parts may be R marked for material flammability; but the assembly operations of these
parts at the workstation are not S/R process characteristic because these operations have no impact on
flammability -> So the workstation is not a R workstation.

5. OBLIGATIONS FOR RENAULT AND THE BOUGHT OUT PARTS / “POE” SUPPLIERS
There is a set of obligations for Renault and for Suppliers, both for:
➔ S/R products → See § 5.1
➔ S/R characteristics → See § 5.2
➔ S/R operations or workstations → See § 5.3
Note: Numbers (i) with respect to the obligations listed in the above table refer to the numbers in paragraphs i) of
Chapters 5.1 (S/R Product) and 5.2 (SRC Characteristics) below:
Example: Repair obligations -> See §5.1 - 12 for S/R products and §5.2 - 9 for S/R characteristics
In the following § when Renault or Supplier is not specified then the obligation applies to both parties.
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
For Renault:
- to define and communicate to the Supplier the list of safety events (“EICps”/ UCEps and associated
ratings at system or component level: ASIL rating, FMECA severities, reliability GRADE, etc.) and the
regulations applicable to its product through the RFQ technical file.
- to consider all elements communicated by the supplier, especially those related to the integration of its
product in the complete vehicle.
- for its product, to take into account, in the RFQ technical file, the applicable regulations and safety events
defined by Renault.
- commit in his/her technical and economic offer to deploy these safety and regulatory functions according
to the rules defined in this standard for its scope and that of the suppliers of tier 2 and above.
- in the event of disagreement, the supplier must explicitly express this to Renault during the consultation
phase.
- to complete, if necessary, the list of safety events or applicable regulations based on its expertise,
operational feedback, and its own safety analyses (example: FMEA, etc.).
In the case of S/R products without SRC, to ensure that the absence of S/R characteristic is indeed justified
by the application of the processes and design rules or the technical solution chosen (intrinsic safety,
existence of a safety margin, etc.). Refer to flowchart in appendix 6 and chapter 4.2.2.
In this case, it is recommended to specify this in the part drawing with a Note such as "No S/R characteristics
identified".
To specifically identify these safety or regulatory products in the suppliers' parts drawings (bought-out parts)
and Renault's parts drawings (in house parts), as well as in Renault's standard drawings (in accordance with
the requirements defined in chapter 7) via:
- S/R marking of the title block of part drawing (for safety product identification)
- regulatory labels in the body of the part drawing
- a Note specifying the safety risks (possibly UCEps) identified for the S product
To ensure that no modification or deletion of an S/R marked part, or of its drawing is applied without
verification:
- of Maintaining the level of required Safety, with the expertise of the S accountable (Upstream Eng. &
Metier Team Leader, Design Manager or Engineering Centre Manager or the delegates or safety
expert(s)).
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
- of compliance with regulations, with the expertise of the relevant Regulation, Synthesis and
Homologation Leader(s) in accordance with the process described in the reference document
RPIFFPV3P20110462 "Define the regulatory characteristics and deploy them in the Departments".
- of the maintenance of the world-wide type approval (homologation) of the vehicle according to the
RPIFFPV3P20110452.
To RENAULT Metiers, not to delete or modify the S/R title block, the Safety notes and the regulatory labels
in the standard drawings without the agreement of:
- the S accountable (Upstream Eng. & Metier team Leader, or the delegates or safety expert(s))
- the Regulation Synthesis Certification Leader (RSCL / ”RRSH”) in charge of this Regulation
To ensure during assembly, reworking or repair of the S/R part, on a mechanical unit (engine or
transmission), on an assembly or on a vehicle, in the plant or in the After-sales:
- the presence of the S/R part
- the type conformity (ensure the supply and assembly of the right part number)
- no damage during handling and assembly operations
And in all cases, to comply with the assembly instructions (Assembly Standard Operation sheet – “FOP A”,
After-Sales Repair Manual, supplier repair procedure, etc.), including, if necessary, supplier’s
recommendations for RENAULT, documented in the ANPQP IS.
7) Product traceability
Note: Product traceability is defined in the RPIFMETHQ20130001: it consists in creating and archiving a
unique link between a component (unit traceability) or a component packaging unit (traceability by reduced
lot) and the vehicle or system on which it is assembled.
To store the design and product/process validation documents of the part (the drawings, validation reports,
FMECA, control plans, etc.).
These documents may also be referred to as evidence in the safety case of the Renault Projects according
to the rule RPIFFSGPR20080002 "Working out of a safety case (“DDMRS”) for a vehicle project".
For Renault:
- for general elements, refer to RPIFENGSM20150002 “Classify the Retention Periods for Product
Engineering documents”.
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
To specifically identify these products by indicating the distinctive symbol on the packaging labels ,
without mentioning the letters S or R, next to the product reference.
In addition, the logistics and manufacturing rules in use for this kind of product, regarding storage, transport,
handling, packaging and unpacking, documentation and instructions at the workstation, operator training,
and in-line inspections, must be complied with.
(Cf. IATF 16949, Standard 00-10-415 and standard ANPQP ©, Suppliers Logistics Guidebook)
In the manufacturing sectors of Renault or of the Supplier, in case of detection of a defect requiring possible
repair, rework, or scrapping, to apply specifically for S/R products:
- in the event of defect detected by the supplier: in any case, alert Renault, identify non-compliant lots
and take all measures that the supplier deems useful to limit the risk of delivering a non-compliant
product to Renault
- for Renault and for the Supplier, apply quality assurance processes and ensure compliance with the
factory or after-sales rules normally provided for in the event of defect
Note: non-conformity and defect are defined in the ISO 9000 standard
12) Repair
Repair methods for operations with safety risks are identified within internal information systems and follow
a validation and modification process to ensure their robustness (RPIFASENG20150001).
Repair methods for operations that pose a safety risk and require specific training or clearance are
defined in the system-specific "Precautions for Repair" in the RMs (Repairing Methods).
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
The notices intended for the customer and presenting warnings related to safety risks follow a validation
and modification process ensuring that the information enabling the customer to understand the risks and
to protect himself against them is available. (RPIFASENG20160018 and RPIFASENG20150002).
A special symbol is used in the documents intended for the customer (User manual, installation
instruction, etc.) to highlight safety warnings.
In addition to the obligations applicable to an S/R product in accordance with §5.1 above, the obligations associated
with the S or R characteristics are as follows:
For Renault, to define and communicate to the Supplier the functional requirements in relation to safety or
regulations, and where applicable certain characteristics already identified as S or R (for example following
the analysis of user feedback), through the RFQ technical file and all associated documentation.
2) S/R Characteristics
For Renault and the Supplier, to identify all the S/R characteristics by applying the methods, tools and
knowledge as specified in 4.2.2 (and refer to the flowchart in appendix 6).
3) S/R Marking
For specified drawings by Renault (bought out parts supplier’s drawings, Renault standard drawings or in-
house part RENAULT drawings), it is necessary to carry out their specific identification in accordance to
chapter 7 of this standard, through:
For the supplier, mark the S/R characteristics identified in his detailed drawings using Renault's marking, or
according to his internal marking rules by indicating the correspondence with Renault's marking (and
consistent with the notion of special characteristics as defined in IATF 16949).
For the documents related to manufacturing and assembly process (Assembly standard operation sheet/
“FOP A”, standard operation sheet/ “FOS”, control plan, etc.) and for S/R workstations (cf. 4.3) to carry out
their specific marking in accordance with chapter 8 of this standard.
For the supplier, mark the S/R characteristics identified in his documentation related to the manufacturing
and assembly process according to its own internal marking rules (and consistent with the notion of special
characteristics of the IATF 16949 standard).
Note: S/R marking for S/R workstations and S/R operations is covered in the dedicated chapter 5.3 below.

To ensure that no modification or deletion of an S/R characteristic of a given product or of its drawing is
applied without verifying compliance of:
- safety level, with the expertise of the S accountable (the Upstream Eng. & Metier team Leader, or the
delegates, the design manager or the safety experts)
- regulation and homologation, with the expertise of the relevant Regulation, Synthesis and Homologation
Leader (RRSH), in accordance with the process described in the reference document
(RPIFFPV3P20110462 "Define the regulatory characteristics and deploy them in the Departments")
- world-wide type approval (homologation) of the vehicle according to the RPIFFPV3P20110452 rule
5) Standard modification
For Renault Metiers, not to remove a S/R characteristic from the standard drawings without the agreement
of:
- The S accountable (the Upstream Metier UET Manager(s) or his/her delegates, and the safety referent
or expert)
- the Regulation, Synthesis and Certification Leader (RSCL / “RRSH”) in charge of the regulatory
domain.
For Renault and Supplier manufacturing sites, ensure conformity management of the corresponding
characteristics, mainly through:
- the construction and implementation of the control plan consistent with TNC's results (defect ratios),
and capability results.
- the general obligations such as those defined:
• for tier 1 to N supplier’s manufacturing sites (bought out parts): in chapter 4.5 of the ANPQP
Standard © ("special characteristics")
• for Renault manufacturing sites (in house parts, assembly, machining, casting, etc.) according to
the existing quality standards.
Note 1: The S or R marking of one characteristic does not necessarily imply its 100% control at
RENAULT’s or supplier’s plant but, requires the company's stakeholders to know how to ensure
compliance and to be able to show it → S marking does not mean 100% systematic control !
This conformity assurance can be carried out in several ways depending on the process:
- by process design (example: poka-yoke, increased capability, adapted facilities, etc.),
- by monitoring calibrated as necessary:
• type of product characteristic or process characteristics to be monitored
• sampling, inspection frequency
• Type and control facilities: automatic inspection, etc.
• SPC cards (statistical process control)
• ….

For Mechanical engineering, the engineering centre design Manager (“CUET BE”) has the delegation for the
signature of the project safety related drawings.
For each regulatory domain, the RRSH (Regulation Synthesis Certification Leader), with the support of the expertise
network - Metiers and Regulations - if necessary, identify the regulatory products and regulatory characteristics using
the Deployment of Regulatory Requirements (DER) method in accordance to RPIFDRTHM20110008 standard
"Documenting and updating the DER".
The RRSH communicates the regulatory products and regulatory characteristics to the Engineering Upstream
Metiers impacted (architecture, design) to be identified and marked in the Metier standards and in the Information
Systems (IS) according to the rules defined herein.
DEA-TR (Technical Regulation and Certification Department) manages the RRSH official name-list and regulatory
domain list. Access on the DEA-TR website using the following link:

All S or R marked drawings (with or without S/R characteristics) must be validated for each new index taken,
according to procedure for electronic signature of drawings described in standard 00-10-300:
- by the Upstream Eng. & Metier team Leader, or his delegates – i.e. the engineering centre design
manager - for Safety special characteristics,
- by the “RRSH” (Regulation Synthesis Certification Leaders) of each regulatory domain highlighting on the
drawing (see the regulatory labels RXXX).
After drawing validation an automatic marking appears on the drawing to show the name of the person who signed,
his role and the date of signature.
There are three different cases “RRSH” (Regulation Synthesis Certification Leader) can sign the drawing:
a. 1st case (case by default): without any notification, the date and signature of the RRSH attests compliance
with in-force Regulation at the date of signature. Regulation & directive are pre-documented in the regulatory
label, see appendix 3 labels examples n°1.
b. 2nd case: for a given country, in case of compliance with a previous or next revision (amendment) of a given
regulation different from the regulation in-force at the date of signature, an explicit Note mentioning the
reference to the amendment taken into account for the compliance shall be written on page 1 of the drawing.
If necessary, the related country(ies) involved must be written.
c. 3rd case: any particular consideration of a regulatory text specific to international markets (Japan, Australia,
etc.) which lays down requirements not covered by the main directive or regulation of the regulatory domain,
must be indicated by writing down the text reference in the appropriate case of the drawing’s label (refer to
Appendix 3, see example 2 of label: IND AIS075 text has been added into the label to include specific
requirement not covered by UN-R and CE texts).

7. RULES FOR MARKING AND COUNTING THE SRC IN ALL THE PRODUCT DESIGN
PROCESSES
- general rules for marking and counting the safety and regulatory characteristics (SRC)
The specific rules regarding safety workstations and operations, packaging and other documents are dealt with in
the following chapters (cf. 8 and 11).
- or by using only S letter for Safety or R letter for Regulations in Information Systems (example: SIGNE,
ONEVAL, DOORS, etc.). This allows to sort by requirement
For regulatory characteristics, the letter R shall be followed by the regulatory domain identification number RXXX.
When the configuration of the Information Systems makes it possible, the same marking RXXX shall be applied.
The identification number links the related characteristics in the document to the regulatory domain involved. The list
of regulatory domains and associated numbers is defined by DEA-TR and available on the DEA-TR website.
If the counting of characteristics is required (example: drawings) then the total number of S characteristics and the
total number of R characteristics in the body of the document must be counted.
The marking with the number of relevant S or R characteristics is shown in the form of the symbol defined in
appendices 1 and 2.
Counting the S/R characteristics (SRC) ensures that no characteristics have been forgotten. It is not representative
of the safety or regulatory “level” of a part.
In case of drawings and other documents, if there is a translation into several languages of the text associated with
the SRC:
- the marking is done in the same way, both on the original text and on the translations
For specific SRC counting rules in the drawings, refer to paragraph 7.3.
7.3. SPECIFIC RULES FOR MARKING AND COUNTING OF THE SRC IN THE DRAWINGS
The different cases of marking in the drawings described in this chapter, and their meanings, are summarised in the
table in appendix 2.
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
The number of symbols , , present in the body of each drawing pages must be summarised:
The total number of S characteristics and the total number of R characteristics (present as a symbol) in the body of
the drawing are taken into account.
Note: if the part is affected by S or R marking on several pages of the drawing, then:
- either the number of S or R characteristics shall be entered in the title block of each page (if there are S/R
characteristics identified for this drawing’s page)
- otherwise at least the symbol S or R (without counting unit) will be written in the title block of the drawing’s
page (even if there is no S/R characteristic on it)
The drawing has the symbol only in the Renault and Supplier title block (no Safety special characteristic in the
body of the drawing).
It must compulsorily include a NOTE explaining the safety risk(s) associated with the part (in general next to the title
block).
This NOTE is not to be marked S in the body of the drawing (see below)
This NOTE is affixed only on the first page of the drawing (Drawing page 1).
Example:
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
7.3.2.2. Product with Safety special characteristic (S in the body of the drawing)
The drawing shall include the symbol , next to the relevant Safety special characteristics, and, in the Renault
and Supplier title block, the number of markings appearing in the drawing.
For characteristics in text form (Note, functional characteristics, etc.) the symbol is put to the left of the text
(see “Air end-fitting” example below).
The NOTE related to the safety risk defined in the previous chapter must also be included.
Example:
The drawing shall include the subject of the regulation(s) through a regulation label (refer to appendix 3 for an
example).
The Upstream Eng. & Metier Team Leader identify the parts impacted by regulatory domain(s), and ‘RRSH’
validate(s) it. The Standardised Basic Part Name (BPN / ‘DNO’) of these parts are attached to the number(s) of the
corresponding regulatory domains. The drawings for these parts are then automatically sent to validation by
regulatory compliance by the ‘RRSH’.
For each regulatory domain, the right label is pre-documented in NewPDM by ‘RRSH’, who indicates the existing
regulation(s) by referring to the reference numbers of the directives and regulations of the European Community
and/or the United Nations UN/R (according to standard 00-10-300).
Regulatory requirements not covered by the basic directive or regulation of a domain must be indicated by writing
down the reference of the text in the appropriate boxes of the labels (see appendix 3 for examples). Generally
speaking, this concerns specific international markets (Korea, Japan, China, Russia, etc.).
The list of directives or regulations pre-documented in the labels can be crossed or even modified according to the
market countries based on information from ‘RRSH’.
Special case: for the regulatory domains “Pollutant Emissions, Fuel Consumption - CO2 Emission, Engine Power,
Diesel Smoke Emissions, Replacement Catalyst, Exhaust Emissions - Engine Test Bench, Pollutants - Conso. Cycle
WLTP”, as well as for the regulatory domain “Engine Marking” the labels are not filled-in with the references of the
texts. The type approval drawings are used to define the level of regulatory compliance in the market countries.
These labels are affixed only on the first page of the drawing (drawing page 1) in ascending order from bottom up
(label 001, label 002, label 003 etc...), and must form a single stack.

The contents of the labels and their composition, as well as their position are described in standard 00-10-202 (Labels
on drawings).
For Renault, the list of Domains-RRSH-Regulation and the name of the associated labels is managed by the DEA-
TR, and can be accessed on its site using the following link:
http://collaboration2010.sharepoint.renault.fr/engineering/shp-drth-fr/RRSH/Pages/Généralités.aspx
Only labels available in CATIA catalogues internally or via the external supplier portal can be affixed to the drawings.
It is prohibited for the Supplier to modify the label (format, content) without the agreement of RENAULT (Engineering
Development and Regulation, Synthesis and Certification Leader).
Only the symbol appears in the drawing title block (Renault and Suppliers). No Regulatory Characteristic
appear in the body of the drawing. No NOTE is necessary, due to the presence of the regulatory labels.

7.3.3.2. Regulation product – Product with Regulatory Characteristic (R in the body of the drawing)
The (Renault and Suppliers) body drawing shows the symbol in front of the regulatory characteristics, with the
identification number of the regulatory domain. This identification number appear into brackets next to the
characteristic (see example below).
For characteristics within text form (Note, functional characteristics, etc.) the symbol is put to the left of the text
(see ‘GS Cast Iron’ example below).
If one regulatory characteristic is related to several regulatory domains, all the domains numbers shall be indicated
into brackets and separated by a comma in the body drawing: ex => R(001,003,024).
Note: the symbol in the title block is not affected by the previous rule; it corresponds to the total number of regulatory

For these domains, it is mandatory to add a Passive Safety NOTE on the drawing and to mark it as R (see example
below) -> this NOTE thus becomes an R characteristic to be counted in the title block as such.
The RRSH of domains above have defined the content and wording of this "passive safety" NOTE to which the
design engineers add the identification name "RXXX" of the relevant domain(s).
Note: The drawings validated by the passive safety Customer Performance Requirement Pilot (PPC) do not require
either S or R marking if they are not related to an UCEps nor to a regulatory requirement. However, they must
include the following passive safety label (according to standard 00-10-300):

7.3.5.4. Marking of documents containing S/R markings called in drawings or other documents
When a drawing or a material refers to a S/R marked standard (e.g. standard, test procedure, specifications, etc.),
the S/R marking shall not be automatically put in the body of the drawing or document, next to the reference of the
S/R marked quoted standard.
In the body of a drawing or in a document, the S/R marking should only appear in front of the reference of the quoted
standard if compliance with the Safety or Regulatory characteristics contained in this standard contributes to
compliance with the Safety or Regulatory requirements.
Specifically for drawings: if the part defined by a drawing shall meet only partly the characteristics mentioned in the
standard, the S/R marking shall be put in front of the reference of the cited standard, clearly explaining which Safety
or Regulatory characteristics are not to be met, using the wording "except".
When a standard is mentioned on the project drawing without any S/R marking, it means the characteristic(s) that
is/are marked in this standard does/do not contribute to Safety or Regulatory compliance for the project; in this case,
please write "Not concerned by Regulations" or "Not concerned by Safety" to avoid any misleading.
The counting of S/R characteristics present in the quoted standard shall not be reported next to the S/R symbol in
front of the standard’s reference. This reference will be considered as one and only one SRC (S/R characteristic).
Three different cases occur. They are described in the examples below
1st case: (default case). The part drawing shall totally comply with all the Safety & Regulatory characteristics (SRC)
of the quoted standard.
The reference of the standard must be marked in the body of the drawing with a Note, which will be considered as
one and only one S/R characteristic (no matter the SRC number of the standard).

standard.
Examples:
- one or more regulations are not applicable in a market country or for vehicle range,
- safety criteria not applicable due to the project technical definition,
- the criterion of the standard is not fully applied and has also been validated elsewhere (example: the drawing
includes only part of the existing S/R characteristics in the original standard)
The reference of the standard must be marked in the body of the drawing, with a Note which is considered itself as
a new SRC.

RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
This Note defines the exclusion perimeter and/or the gap between the drawing and the standard. So, the excluded

When reference is made, in a drawing or other document, to a standard (standard, test procedure, specifications,
etc.) not marked S, if compliance with this standard nevertheless conditions safety in the context of using the part,
this standard must be marked S on the drawing or in the document.
Where applicable, add a Note in the body of the drawing, specifying the perimeter that will be considered as safety
one.

Example of a reference to a standard (test procedures, standard) marked with S symbol, in a drawing while
the standard itself is not marked:
Air End Pieces for air circuits 01-57-120 is not S marked -> but there is one S characteristic in the body of the drawing
Standard 01-57-120 "air circuit end pieces" is not S marked (no marking on the cover page): because in fact, most
parts where this standard is used there is no link with safety).
However, in the specific case of the petrol intake air distributor, failure to comply with this standard may generate
safety-related effects (Brake Assist, Unwanted Acceleration) in the event of disengagement : in this case the
reference to this standard must be S marked in the body of the drawing (refer above) for a given project.
S/R operations are marked in the documentation according to same rules as defined in Chapter 7.
The documents of plant and of process engineering which specify the control plans must be identified in coherence
with the SRC of the product specification, and the assembly ranges:
- In vehicle assembly plants (“UCM”) this can be done using procedure RPIFFPV3P20110081 "Specify Mass
Production Compliance Monitoring plan”
- powertrain assembly plants (“UFM”) directly use this standard 00-10-040
Note 1: for spot welds, the S/R marking of the process documentation is not required because manufacturing facilities
in Renault group's plants are monitored with the highest level of severity.
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
Note 2: technical documentation of the manufacturing process of a Safety or Regulatory characteristic (SRC),
intended solely for Manufacturing use, may have the symbol alone without the letter S or R (same marking that thus
used for the workstations and packaging appearing in appendices 4 and 5), if SRC are treated in the same way in
the plant (example: assembly standard operation sheet / “FOP A”).
These workstations must be indicated using a specific support (refer to model in appendix 4).
The marking of the workstations where products are assembled shall be analysed by Process Engineering
function (example: when there is a risk of deviation or defect of one S/R Characteristic or of the S/R product during
the part assembly).
The S/R workstations shall be identified using the same specific format as shown in appendix 4. The white box is
intended to specify, if necessary, a specific indication (e.g. tightening torque).
Note: For a workstation or an area in which several S/R operations are performed or in which one or more S/R
products are assembled, it is then permissible to install a single inscription (as this one shown in appendix 4).
8.2.3. WORKSTATIONS WHERE S/R PRODUCTS (WITH OR WITHOUT SRC) ARE ASSEMBLED
A workstation where an S/R product is assembled (with or without S/R characteristic) shall be considered as an
S/R workstation unless:
The S/R marking of the tools or equipment used to perform the SRC (S/R characteristic or S/R operation) is not
necessary if the organisation ensures that the tools / facilities used complies with the recommendations, i.e.:
- the tool/equipment is defined in a workstation sheet or in a document available within the Elementary Working
Team (UET),
- is managed and controlled (capabilities, maintenance, calibration of manufacturing and control facilities, etc).

The standard 00-10-415 describes provisions related to the application of the SRC (S/R characteristics) by the
Suppliers as well as the parts directly certified under Supplier’s accountability.
Certified parts are parts which, depending on regulations of the market countries, are subjected to certification under
direct accountability of the Supplier, or to a specific mandatory marking (described in the regulatory texts of the
country).
For European regulations (ECE, Brussels Directive or Regulation), these parts are referred to as " component/entity".
For Renault group, the list of relevant parts is available on the DEA-TR website:
http://collaboration2010.sharepoint.renault.fr/engineering/shp-drth-fr/Reg/Pages/Règlem-veh.aspx
These certified parts must be identified in the drawings by using the specific label below. This label shall be affixed
only on the first page of the drawing, according to the rules defined in standard 00-10-202 “Labels onto drawings”.
The Supplier shall alert the RENAULT group as soon as detecting shipment of a defective product.
For these parts, the Supplier must also:
- take into account the regulations to be complied with according to the countries in which the vehicle will be
marketed. It is thus the Supplier’s responsibility to get in-force regulatory text(s) and to monitor their changes
to ensure continuously the design and production compliance of its parts,
- obtain the associated certification from the competent authorities (Part’s test reports and certificates), and the
renewal of the certificates accordingly to their validity period,
- set up the monitoring process to ensure the production compliance of its parts.
Depending on market country, according to vehicle schedule and requirements of ANPQP © standard, the Supplier
must provide to the RENAULT group:
- Reports and certificates of the parts compliant with the in-force regulations in the different market countries,
- certification documents of the Supplier manufacturing sites for the relevant countries (example: China, ...),
taking care of their validity timeline,
- the parts marked with the final marking, consistent with type approval reference or with any other specific
markings.
Confidential C
RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
The Supplier shall ensure the readability and validity of the certificates and test reports sent to the RENAULT group.
In the event of a change of product, process, site transfer, change of part regulation related to a certified part, the
Supplier must:
- inform the Renault group in advance in accordance with the requirements of the ANPQP © standard
- identify the list of parts impacted by the change
- transmit to the Renault group updated information and the parts with the new markings
Note: When the certified part is a part, for which a type approval for its vehicle fitting is required (*), this request for
fitting type approval is under accountability of the RENAULT group.
(*) refers to "Vehicle Fittings" type approvals (example: case of lighting, glazing, electromagnetic compatibility, etc.)
where the entities are firstly approved by the Supplier; then it is necessary for the manufacturer to validate the
fitting of these entities in the vehicle by another "Vehicle Fitting" type approval.

(“SDRM”), validation plan, test procedure, calculation procedure, etc.
Note 1: documents related to methods and tools are not to be identified using S or R marking, even if they refer
to activities related to the management of S/R (examples: capability guidelines, FMECA standard, HCPP
standard, safety concept, etc...).
Note 2: documents that are not to be considered as product/process standards dedicated to a specific project,
such as test request, test report, calculation report, safety study documents are not to be marked S or R even if
they refer to S or R marked design standards.
In the text or in the body of the design document, safety-related or regulatory information is marked in the margin:
- in front of and to the left of the paragraph expressing the information when the information is written on several
lines

Example 2 : extract from design specification 32-01-140
When these documents contain criteria (example: compliance with a rule, a validation activity, etc.) related
to Safety, they must be marked S in the body of the document, either by:
- using the flexibility (F0 or F1) for design rules (Design rules / “RTC” / ”RCC”, Checklist / “SDRM”) and Process
Requirement Sheets / “FPR”.
And they must also be marked on the cover page (when existing), with no obligation to count the criteria.
Note 1: if there are no explicit safety-related criteria in a document, there is no need to mark S in the document
header or on its cover page, even if the product is a safety product.
- Example: a technical policy or a design check rule for a safety product without a F0 or F1 safety rule
- Example: a validation plan for a safety product without a safety validation activity (example: seat
appearance endurance validation for a safety product)
Note 2: documents containing a set of flexible safety-related rules (e.g. technical policy, Design rules/”RTC”/”RCC”,
Note 3: in accordance with RPIFFPV3P20120014 a F0 or F1 rule will not be marked S in addition. We consider
these two kinds of information to be the same, no need to duplicate. Besides, the link with safety issue must be
clearly indicated in the rule, generic template or technical policy.
Note 4: there are other documents that are not marked with the S symbol or with the letter S (in the body of the
document and on the cover page) because they already contain an identification of the safety requirements by other
attributes; e.g. safety concept, etc.
When these documents contain criteria or information related to Regulation, they must be identified in the
body of the document either by:
- using the symbol defined in appendix 1 (also for design rules and check rules, technical policy, check list
design rules, unlike the S case)
They must also be marked in the header of the document or on cover page, without being necessarily counted.
Identification of regulatory domains (RXXX) in the header or on cover page is recommended.

RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
For information related to Regulations, and for the identification of design documents other than drawings, the R
letter should be followed by the identification number of the regulatory domain (RXXX). When the configuration of
the Information Systems allows it, the same marking (R letter with domain’s identification number and/or R graphic
symbol with domain’s identification number) must be applied.
Example:
Note 1: type approval related documents (file, deliverable and type approval plan) do not require an R marking, as
well as DEA-TR internal operating documents such as Regulatory Evolution Report (RER) and AWP / ’RPIF’ of O25
process.
Note 2: the reference to a regulatory text shall not include a R symbol , only the regulatory characteristic is R
marked.

RENAULT 00 - 10 - 040 / - - T
This relates to all company information systems (SIGNE, ANPQP IS, ASK, ONE VAL, New PDM, PROAPW, DOORS,
REVS, etc.) in which S/R characteristics (SRC) or S/R parts are identified, which cannot be identified by the symbol
in particular because the field to be documented allows only written letters or words, not the addition of a symbol.
In these systems, SRC and S/R parts, or documents containing SRC, must be identified by the letter R or S (and P
and Q in SIGNE).
For some of these systems, where possible, the letter R should be associated with the identification number of the
regulatory domains (RXXX).
Example of SIGNE:
S/R products have a coding in SIGNE (called “RSE code”), which is reported in the Design Notes / DEVOs (Change
report) created in SIGNE.
The rules for coding in SIGNE are described in the PIE 050 – “How to identify a Part?” and in the PIE 055 - “How to
assign a 5-digit code to a part?” accessible to everyone in the PLMDOCINFO SharePoint.
The R, P, S, Q codes are used in SIGNE to identify respectively regulated parts with and without a regulatory
characteristic and safety parts with and without a safety special characteristic

APPENDIX 1: Description of S or R marking symbol (RNES-A-20011)
The dimension of the symbol is taken from the Company's CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawing systems.
Note: In the title block, the symbol is inscribed in a circle between 6 mm and 12 mm.
1.3. MARKINGS IN THE TITLE BLOCK OF THE DRAWING OR ON THE COVER PAGE OF THE DOCUMENT
FOR MARKED S/R PRODUCTS WITH SRC (S/R characteristic)
The symbol shall consist of the letter S or R with the respective number of markings in the body of the drawing or
document, as shown in the following example:

NOTES:
S R
✓ only representation R
is allowed. The representation S
is no longer allowed.
R R
✓ the representations S and S are prohibited (in the case where S or R are alone)
✓ in the drawings:
- the counting of S/R characteristics (SRC) is done for each page of a drawing (with several pages).
- in the case of a diversity table (see paragraph 7.3.5.3); only the S/R characteristics in the "Total S/R
Symbol" column are counted in title block
To facilitate its identification, it is necessary to indicate the note that is marked S or R in the body of the drawing in a
rectangular shape (refer to the example below extract from RNES-A-20011 standard).

APPENDIX 2: Meaning of the symbol marks in the drawings
Note: all parts marked R, with or without SRC (S/R characteristic) in the body of the drawing, must
contain one (or more) label(s) associated with the regulatory domain(s) impacting the part.
Safety product,
None
without SRC § 7.3.2.1.
Regulated product,
None
without SRC § 7.3.3.1.
R
Note 1: in the body of the drawings and of the documents the R letter (for regulatory related) must be
followed by the identification number of the regulatory domain(s).
Examples:
- Safety and Regulatory Product (for the domains R054, R058, R061): without SRC
- Safety and Regulatory product with 3 S characteristics, 2 R characteristics (for the domain R058):
3 S
2 R(058)

APPENDIX 7: Safety Margin, Design Margin, Example
Depending on the characteristics: there is or is not symmetry (the malfunction is not necessarily the same on both
sides of the operating area)
The Danger zone and malfunction zone can be more or less coincident.
This is the characteristic in its initial state (specified on a drawing) but the customer effects are those generated on
the life of the vehicle in relation to the objectives of reliability, durability and safety.
Operating Margin (OM) or Design Margin: margin between the specification area and the start of the malfunction’s
zone (customer effect generator)
Safety Margin (SM): margin between the onset of the malfunction and a potentially safety effect
Total Safety Margin: OM + SM = margin between the specification area, and a potentially safety effect
This total margin reflects the robustness of the design with regard to safety
Example of a safety margin for a tolerated characteristic consistent with the safety and capability/TNC objectives
(TNC: defect ratio -> e.g.: CAP of 2 in short-term receipt and 1.67 in long-term production).
