In November 2023, CENELEC made available the new EN 50716:2023 “Railway Applications - Requirements for Software Development” (DAV: 2023-11-17). This replaces the previous norm EN 50128. In our work at CSA Engineering, with customer mandates and projects in the safety-relevant sector, this replacement and the associated changes are relevant to our work. Based on the Swiss edition of the new EN 50716:2023, we focus in this article on some major changes to the predecessor norm EN 50128:2011.

We have described the main changes in Chapters 1 to 7 in Part 1, see The new EN 50716:2023
