Safety requirements, are speciific to the operatng conditions and environment that the equipement is used in. Safety goals can be considered a set of aspirations to be applied to any system. For every Safety requirement $S_{req}$ we should have a related safety goal $S_{goal}$ for the requirments to be meaningful. We can express this as $$ \forall S_{req} \longrightarrow S_{goal}. $$ \section{European or `EN' Standards} \subsection{Scope} \subsection{Approval Process} \subsection{Legal Framework} \subsection{References} \section{North American Standards} \subsection{Scope} \subsection{Approval Process} \subsection{Legal Framework} \subsection{References} Protection against being sued mainly !
