This document defines a process assessment model for safety processes, conforming to the requirements of ISO/IEC 33004, for use in performing a process assessment in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 33002.

This document supports the use of the process assessment models for system and software life cycle processes (ISO/IEC TS 33060 and ISO/IEC TS 33061) when applied to assessment of processes in the development of (functional or non-functional) safety related systems in order to make consistent judgment regarding either process quality or improvement priorities, or both.
