Proposed initial programme of work (The proposed programme of work shall correspondto and clearly reflect the aims of the standardization activities and shall, therefore, show
the relationship between the subject proposed. Each item on the programme of work shallbe defined by both the subject aspect(s) to be standardized (for products, for example, theitems would be the types of products, characteristics, other requirements, data to besupplied, test methods, etc.). Supplementary justification may be combined with particular
items in the programme of work. The proposed programme of work shall also suggest
priorities and target dates.
At the current moment, using the accumulated experience in development of safety management
standards in TC 034 "Air Transport" (Rosstandard (GOST R)), for 2010-2015 the list of planned
standards for development is as follows (2016 -2017):• Safety management system of aviation activities. Database. Aviation risks for implementation of
the safety system evaluation while providing air traffic.
• Safety management system of aviation activities in civil aviation. The main provisions.
• Metrological assurance of safety management of aviation activities. Database. The main
provisions.
• Metrological assurance of safety management of aviation activities. Compliance methods.
Principles of choice the means and methods of measurements, testing and control. The main
provisions.
• Safety management system of aviation activities. Database. Aviation infrastructure risks
associated with the production of airport activity.
• Safety management system of aviation activities. Database. Risks associated with aviation
training.
• Safety management system of aviation activities. Database. Risks of aviation engineering design• Safety management system of aviation activities. Database. Risks of OAE production.
• Safety management system of aviation activities. Database. Risks of certain types of aviation
operating activities: helicopter activities.
• Safety management system of aviation activities. Database. Risks of certain types of aviation
operating activities: types of special applications.
• Safety management system of aviation activities. Database. Risks of certain types of aviation
operating activities: transport types.
• Safety management system of aviation activities. Database. Risks of MRO services.
• Safety management system of aviation activities. Database. Residual risks of aviationengineering production.

Note: Customers of these standards in Russia are actual Russian companies (aviation operators ,aircraft manufacturers, organizations of air traffic control, etc.). Most of them have confirmed theirreadiness to order the development of these standards. At the current moment, Russian standards
developers are preparing the training programs for customers’ specialists who will work with thesestandards in their enterprises activities.
Indication(s) of the preferred type or types of deliverable(s) to be produced under the
proposal (This may be combined with the "Proposed initial programme of work" if moreconvenient.)
The preferred type of deliverables is international standard.
However, depending on the level of reached consensus in each case it may be useful to consider
the possibility of other types of deliverables’ development, such as TS, TR or PAS.
Note: the nature of these standards is not Technical – they are System Standard (SS). It is close
to PAS Integrated Management System but each SS is supported by and provides the special
methodology of its on-site implementation. This aspect is especially important for the organization
with small scope of its Complex Technical System (CTS).

Version 01/2015

A statement from the proposer as to how the proposed work may relate to or impact on
existing work, especially existing ISO and IEC deliverables. (The proposer should explain
how the work differs from apparently similar work, or explain how duplication and conflict
will be minimized. If seemingly similar or related work is already in the scope of othercommittees of the organization or in other organizations, the proposed scope shalldistinguish between the proposed work and the other work. The proposer shall indicate
whether his or her proposal could be dealt with by widening the scope of an existingcommittee or by establishing a new committee.)Standardization in the field of safety management of Complex Technical Systems activities is
proposed first for the global aviation community because it is based on 15 years of research by
Russian specialists, and their activity area was the aerospace industry. Therefore the advantagesof the proposed system approach described in this proposal are tied to the aerospace industry. The
approaches currently being used (mainly ICAO, IATA, Boeing, Airbus and supporting by ISO
committees TC 262, TC 20) are based on the assessment of AS discrete elements activities without
their consideration as integrated indicator – efficiency of AS safe operations.
The proposed approach has also been tested in areas other than aerospace. For example, toanalyze (open media materials) the results of accident investigations on nuclear power plants (USA,
USSR, Japan), technocratic accidents (the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydro-station, Russia), and theaccident with the ship "Concordia" (Italy). And this analysis shows that using the proposed approac h
it was possible to avoid or at least significantly reduce the consequences of these negative
situations. Importantly, this approach allows the optimization of costs for providing approved safetylevels for such complex technical systems (CTS) functioning.
Simply expanding the scope of an existing ISO/TC (TC 20, 269 etc.) in order to address thisnew area of work will impose significant limitations:• it will restrict the possible utilization field of the proposed systematic approach by using
the distinguishing features of existing TC. In some cases, for example for TC 20, its areaof responsibility covers practically only the "machine" part of CTS;
• it will not allow to take fully into account the specific features of complex man-machine
systems functioning for various areas of human activity (this is a slightly different view forcomplex technical system) from the point of view of developing the procedures (including
utilization of systems’ models with the special mathematical apparatus basis) for safe system
operations at reasonable (acceptable) risk levels. It should be noted that we are talking about
CTS, first of all, with a high level of impact negative situations, but having the probability ofthese events realization close to “zero” (so-called "rare events"). Such examples could be:
the explosion of a gas power pipeline (realistic case), a disaster involving spacecraft, an
accident at a chemical plant, etc.).
These aspects may be interesting (in addition to TC 20), for example, for TC 46, 69, 85, 154, 171,
196, 199, 204, 207, 241, 251, 260, 262, 267, 268, 269, 288, 292, 299. In other words, the proposed
scope of the new TC (area of its interests) goes far beyond just the aerospace industry. The wide
implementation of this systematic approach to provide safety management of CTS functioning could
be realized by joint efforts of specialists from different industry branches (it is advisable, in the formof new TC subcommittees). It has to be announced the appearance of synergy effect of thiscooperation, including the optimization of economic expenses for specified activity.
Moreover, at present there is no detailed approach for cost optimization to ensure the safety ofaviation activity. So, given the numerous numbers of aircraft, its complexity, plus the complexity of
AS in general, as a result we have direct influences of AS structure and functioning on economic
indicators (both sides have to be optimized). This problem can be effectively addressed through thedevelopment of effective safety management standards.
In addition, proposed standardization would contribute to the expansion of interaction between
ISO/IEC and ICAO systems concerning the AS risk management and harmonization of approaches,indicators of flight safety, aviation security, etc., that are now using in worldwide aviation practicefor separate elements of Complex Aviation System.

It may be interesting to ISO/TC 20, TC 46, 69, 85, 154, 171, 196, 199, 204, 207, 241, 251, 260,
262, 267, 268, 269, 288, 292, 299.
It must be noted that the participation of specialists from different countries (with their experienc e
in risk management) in the proposed International technical committee will provide the uniquepossibility to create an almost universal approach to determine the safety efficiency of Complex
Technical Systems (for different areas of human activities).
A simple and concise statement identifying and describing relevant affected stakeholder
categories (including small and medium sized enterprises) and how they will each benefit
from or be impacted by the proposed deliverable(s).
Every enterprise (small, medium and large) which deals with the threats and risk factors that may
cause negative impacts (events) with material losses and human victims can and should beinterested in development, implementation and maintenance of safe conditions of their enterpris e
activity. Moreover, the criterion "safe efficiency" implies the financial costs optimization, to provide
safety risk minimization. The main stakeholders are:a) the Authorities of National States, they have the objective means for determining theacceptable (allowed) safety risks for their organizations and oversight of their strict observance;b) international organizations (as ICAO, IATA, EASA, IAEA, etc.) which establish acceptablelevels of safety risks for application by the global community (in appropriated areas)
An expression of commitment from the proposer to provide the committee secretariat if the
proposal succeeds.
It is proposed to provide the committee secretariat in the Russian Federation (GOST R) with thefollowing designation to the State Scientific Research Institute of Civil Aviation (GosNII GA) as theorganization that would provide the secretariat functions. This based on the experience of Russian
specialists (developers of proposed safety management standards) and international recognition of
their research work (Safety Management of Aviation Activities (report on ICAO Safety Management
Panel in July 2015, Paris) and IAC (Russia) – Airbus (France) Meeting (September 2015, Moscow).

Purpose and justification for the proposal. (The purpose and justification for the creation ofa new technical committee shall be made clear and the need for standardization in this fieldshall be justified. Clause C.4.13.3 of Annex C of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 contains a menu
of suggestions or ideas for possible documentation to support and purpose and justificationof proposals. Proposers should consider these suggestions, but they are not limited to them,nor are they required to comply strictly with them. What is most important is that proposers
develop and provide purpose and justification information that is most relevant to their
proposals and that makes a substantial business case for the market relevance and the needfor their proposals. Thorough, well-developed and robust purpose and justification
documentation will lead to more informed consideration of proposals and ultimately their
possible success in the ISO IEC system.)
Aviation systems (ASs) are one of the main elements of Global Transport Systems and their safe
operations is the main objective. Given the diversity and wide variety of ASs infrastructures, aviation
activity of each AS should be considered as activity a Complex Technical System (CTS), the main
structural elements of which are human (operator) – machine – environment.
The complexity of the system elements and their relationships during safety assessment require therecording and processing of a huge number of parameters to obtain an objective safety assessment.
This factor requires the utilization of machine processing with specified parameters, and thedevelopment of integrated qualitative and quantitative criteria and algorithms to estimate theseparameters for each of a system’s elements throughout the Life Cycle of industrial products. Only
by using this approach is possible to determine the safety efficiency of aviation activity, based on
the risk factor management, developing specific procedures to mitigate the risks to an acceptablelevel (which is determined by the State) for each AS element. Determination of safety efficiency isalso based on utilization of basic criteria – Life Cycle cost of AS, including the aircraft cost and costof AS ownership.
The target of standardization in the field of safety management for CTS is associated with a highdegree of aviation importance, as a part of the global transportation system. This aspect becomes
more important from the social point of view for each country, especially those with large territories ,which must ensure the safe movement of any citizen through all territory (including security aspects).
The big public resonance of negative aerospace events (catastrophes), associated with the loss ofhuman lives should also be noted.
The world aerospace fleet has thousands of vehicles, and its use also contributes to environment alcontamination (via the emission of a combustion engine’s products). This aspect also requires risk
consideration of the global impact on the atmosphere and finding ways to mitigate these risks.
The main target of proposed standardization is the definition of corrective actions with proactive
impact on AS activities to prevent conditions of negative events (incidents, accidents) before they
can happen.
And, in fact, the proposed approach uses the principles of a system approach which are set out inthe basic standard ISO 9001:2015. This is the main reason that this approach could be utilized in
the future (with the common efforts of committees ISO, IEC and other worldwide societies) indifferent areas of human activities.
