 1.1   General 
 This European Standard defines the safety  programme  and the technical safety requirements that are implemented in order to comply with the safety policy as defined in [ISO 14300-2](/search?q=ISO%C2%A014300-2). It is intended to protect flight and ground personnel, the launch vehicle, associated payloads, ground support equipment, the general public, public and private property, and the environment from  hazards  associated with space  systems . Launch site operations are described by [ISO 14620-2](/search?q=ISO%C2%A014620-2). 
 The safety policy is applied by implementing a  system  safety  programme , supported by  risk  assessment, which can be summarized as follows: 
 
   
     
       
         a)  hazardous characteristics ( system  and environmental  hazards ) and functions with potentially hazardous  failure  effects are identified and progressively evaluated by iteratively performing systematic safety analyses; 
     
     
       
         b)  the potential hazardous consequences associated with the  system  characteristics and functional  failures  are subjected to a  hazard  reduction sequence whereby: 
       
         
           
             
             ...
