1.3 Defining safety requirements

Contextual description: The safety requirements specify what the RAS must achieve during operation in order to be considered sufficiently safe. The high-level safety requirements can be largely defined based on the understanding of how hazards may arise for the RAS. These high-level safety requirements must later be further refined to more detailed requirements.

Practical guidance: In most cases it is anticipated that essentially standard approaches to requirements specification will be adopted.
