Section 417.123 - [Effective until 3/10/2026] Computing systems and software(a) A launch operator must document a system safety process that identifies the hazards and assesses the risks to public health and safety and the safety of property related to computing systems and software.(b) A launch operator must identify all safety-critical functions associated with its computing systems and software. Safety-critical computing system and software functions must include the following:(1) Software used to control or monitor safety-critical systems.(2) Software that transmits safety-critical data, including time-critical data and data about hazardous conditions.(3) Software used for fault detection in safety-critical computer hardware or software.(4) Software that responds to the detection of a safety-critical fault.(5) Software used in a flight safety system.(6) Processor-interrupt software associated with previously designated safety-critical computer system functions.(7) Software that computes safety-critical data.(8) Software that accesses safety-critical data.(9) Software used for wind weighting.(c) A launch operator must conduct computing system and software hazard analyses for the integrated system.(d) A launch operator must develop and implement computing system and software validation and verification plans.(e) A launch operator must develop and implement software development plans, including descriptions of the following:(1) Coding standards used;(2) Configuration control;(3) Programmable logic controllers;(4) Policy on use of any commercial-off-the-shelf software; and(5) Policy on software reuse.
