Abstract :
This paper will review the implications arising from the release of the safety requirements specification (SRS) to the supply chain relating to issues such as safety functionality/integrity, assumptions made or not made, contractual and requirements creep and where one such implication is that a functional specification based on just a cause effect is not sufficient for compliance to the recommended safety standards.
