10. Application for conversion
Safety assessments [GM]
The Competent Authority should evaluate the safety assessment and, in particular, make sure that:
(1) the identified safety concern(s) has (have) been assessed through the safety assessment process and is (are) adequately documented.
(2) an appropriate coordination has been performed between the parties affected by the safety concern(s);
(3) the assessment covers the whole system and the interactions of its elements;
(4) the hazards have been properly identified and the level of risk assessed;
(5) the proposed mitigation measures are adequate and consistent with the objective of reducing the identified level of risk and the safety objectives, if relevant;
(6) the timeframes of the planned implementation of the proposed associated actions are appropriate.
