This document sets out a framework to replace and/or complement physical tests with virtual tests by introducing simulation credibility for a given railway application. This covers simulation development, use, and management. Users of this document can be: - simulation engineers or organizations and their subcontractors, - standardization working groups to introduce simulations in their standards or - technical assessors and conformity assessment bodies. This document provides guidance, particularly when simulations are not yet defined. Where applicable, this document can be used in conjunction with existing standards pertaining to the use of simulations. If simulation is already recognized in existing domain-specific standards, this document does not modify the requirements of those standards. However, it may assist in future improvements and harmonization. It does not provide domain-specific guidance on applying simulations. For the use of technologies including, but not limited to, artificial intelligence, model-scale testing, and distributed computing, relevant potential technology based risks can arise.
