When the methodology applied is not standardised or covers other essential requirements than it is intended for, the following aspects shall be checked to evaluate if they are sufficiently considered and covered by the methodology:\n(a) Degree of independent assessment applied\n(b) System definition\n(c) Hazard identification and classification\n(d) Risk acceptance principles\n(e) Risk evaluation\n(f) Requirements established\n(g) Demonstration of compliance with the requirements\n(h) Hazard management (log)\nX\nX\nX\n7\nSufficient evidence from the methodology used for the requirements capture:\n7.1.
