SUBSYSTEM DEFINITION AND SCOPE

General

The Control-Command Subsystem is defined as that set of functions and their implementation, which allow the
safe movement of trains.

The TSI Control-Command defines the essential requirements for those parts of the Control-Command
Subsystem that have relevance to interoperability, and therefore are subject to EC declaration of verification.

The features of the Control-Command Subsystem that are related to the interoperability of the trans-European
high-speed rail system are determined by:

1.

2.

3.

The FUNCTIONS that are essential for the safe control of the railway traffic, and that are essential for the
operation, including those required under degraded modes (1).

The INTERFACES.

The level of PERFORMANCE required to meet the essential requirements.

The specification of these functions,
(Characterisation of the Subsystem) where supporting standards are referenced.

interfaces and performance requirements are provided in Chapter 4

2.2.

Overview

The interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail network depends in part on the ability of the on-board
Control-Command equipment to work with various track-side equipment.

Because of the mobility of the onboard part, the Control-Command Subsystem is divided in two parts: Onboard
Assembly and Track-side Assembly (see Annex D).

2.2.1.

Interoperability

This TSI defines the functions, interfaces and performance requirements to ensure the achievement of technical
interoperability. Technical interoperability is the prerequisite for operational interoperability, in which the driving
is based on consistent information displayed in the cabs and is in accordance with unified operational
requirements defined for the trans-European high speed network. This TSI also contains functions that are
needed to achieve operational interoperability (see section 4.3.1 Interface to the Subsystem Traffic Operation and
Management).

2.2.2.

Classes of Control-Command Systems

Within the Control-Command Subsystem two classes of train protection, radio communication, HABD and train
detection systems are defined:

Class A:The unified Control-Command system.
Class B:Control-Command systems and applications existing before entry into force of the Directive 96/48/EC,

limited to those described in Annex B.

In order to achieve Interoperability, the trains’ On-board Control-Command Assembly will provide:

— the Class A radio and data communication interfaces to the infrastructure, in case of operation with Class

A infrastructure,

— the Class B radio and data communication interfaces to the infrastructure, in case of operation with Class B
infrastructure. For signalling data, this can be achieved with the use of a Specific Transmission Module
(STM) that allows a Class A On-board system to operate on lines fitted with Class B Track-side system using
the Class B data. The interface between the Class A On-board system and STM’s is defined in this TSI.

Member States have the responsibility to ensure that Class B systems are managed during their lifetime; in
particular any changes to these specifications must not prejudice interoperability.

2.2.3.

Levels of Application (ERTMS/ETCS)

The interfaces specified by this TSI define the means of data transmission to, and sometimes from, trains. The
Class A specifications referenced by this TSI provide options from which a project may choose the means of
transmission that meet its requirements. Three levels of application are defined:

Level 1:

Level 2:

Data transmission is achieved by spot transmission (Eurobalise) and in some cases by semi-
continuous transmission (Euroloop or radio in-fill). The detection of trains is achieved by track-
based equipment, usually track-circuits or axle counters. Signalling information is communicated
to the driver by equipment in the driving cab and, optionally, lineside signals.

Data transmission is achieved by continuous radio transmission (GSM-R). For some functions, the
radio transmission requires complementing by spot transmission (Eurobalise). The detection of
trains is achieved by track-based equipment, usually track-circuits or axle counters. Signalling
information is communicated to the driver by equipment in the driving cab and, optionally,
lineside signals.

Level 3:

Data transmission is achieved by continuous radio transmission (GSM-R). For some functions, the
radio transmission requires complementing by spot transmission (Eurobalise). The detection of
trains is achieved by equipment on-board, reporting to the Control-Command Track-side
Assembly. Signalling information is communicated to the driver by equipment in the driving cab.

The requirements of this TSI apply to all levels of application. Implementation is addressed in Chapter 7
(Implementation of the TSI Control-Command). A train equipped with a Class A On-board system for a given
level of application shall be able to operate on that level and any lower one.

2.2.4.

Infrastructure Network Borders

The local
infrastructures shall not restrict the uninterrupted passage of trains when crossing borders between them.

interfaces between the Track-side Control-Command Assemblies of neighbouring

technical

Any high-speed or conventional train fitted with Class A On-board system in accordance with the corresponding
TSI shall not, on grounds concerning anyone of both TSIs, be restricted in operating on any trans-European high-
speed or conventional route with infrastructure fitted with Class A Track-side system in accordance with the
corresponding TSI, as soon as the register of Rolling Stock of that train and the register of Infrastructure of that
route have been cross-checked for interoperability.

3.1.

THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE CONTROL-COMMAND SUBSYSTEM

General

The Interoperability Directive 96/48/EC Article 4(1) requires that the trans-European high-speed rail system,
Subsystems and the Interoperability Constituents including interfaces meet the Essential Requirements set out in
general terms in Annex III to the Directive. The Essential Requirements are:

— Safety.

— Reliability and Availability.

— Health.

— Environmental Protection.

— Technical compatibility.

The Directive allows that the Essential Requirements may be applied to the whole trans-European high-speed rail
system or be specific to each Subsystem and its interoperability constituents.

The Essential Requirements are taken in turn, below. Requirements on Class B systems are the responsibility of
the relevant Member State.

3.2.

Specific Aspects for the Control-Command Subsystem

3.2.1.

Safety

Every project to which this specification is applied shall put into effect the measures necessary to demonstrate
that the level of risk of an incident occurring that is within the scope of the Control-Command Subsystem, is not
higher than the objective for the service. To ensure that the solutions to achieve safety do not jeopardise
interoperability the requirements of the basic parameter defined in section 4.2.1 (Control-Command safety
characteristics relevant to interoperability) shall be respected.

For Class A system (ERTMS/ETCS), the global safety objective for the Subsystem is apportioned between the on-
board and Track-side Assemblies. The detailed requirements are specified in the basic parameter defined in
section 4.2.1 (Control-Command safety characteristics relevant to interoperability). This safety requirement must
be met together with the availability requirements as defined in Section 3.2.2 (Reliability and Availability).

For Class B systems used for trans-European high-speed rail operation, it is the responsibility of the appropriate
Member State (defined in Annex B) to:

— ensure that the Class B system design meets National safety targets,

— ensure that the application of the Class B system meets National safety targets,

— define the safe operating parameters and conditions of use of the Class B system (including, but not limited

to, maintenance and degraded modes).

3.2.2.

Reliability and Availability

(a)

(b)

For Class A system, the global reliability and availability objectives for the Subsystem are apportioned
between the On-board and Track-side Assemblies. The detailed requirements are specified in the Basic
Parameter defined in section 4.2.1 (Control-Command safety characteristics relevant to interoperability).

The quality of the maintenance organisation for all systems comprising the Control-Command Subsystem
shall ensure that the level of risk is controlled as constituents age and wear. The quality of the maintenance
shall ensure that safety is not prejudiced because of these activities. See section 4.5 (Maintenance rules).

3.2.3.

Health

According to the European regulations and to the national regulations which are compatible with the European
legislation, precautions shall be taken to ensure that the materials used in and the design of Control-Command
Subsystems do not constitute a health hazard to persons having access to them.

3.2.4.

Environmental Protection

According to the European regulations and to the national regulations which are compatible with the European
legislation:

— The Control-Command equipment, if subjected to excessive heat or fire, shall not exceed limits for the

emission of fumes or gases which are harmful to the environment.

— The Control-Command equipment shall not contain substances which may during their normal use

abnormally contaminate the environment.

— The Control-Command equipment shall be subject to the European legislation in force controlling the
limits to the emission of and the susceptibility to electromagnetic interference along the boundaries of
railway property.

— The Control-Command equipment shall comply with existing regulations on noise pollution.

— The Control-Command equipment shall not give rise to any inadmissible level of vibration which could
jeopardise the integrity of the infrastructure (when the infrastructure is in the correct state of maintenance).

3.2.5.

Technical Compatibility

Technical compatibility includes the functions, interfaces and performances required to achieve interoperability.

The requirements of technical compatibility are subdivided in the following three categories:

— The first category sets out the general engineering requirements for interoperability, that is environmental
conditions, internal electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) within the railway boundaries, and installation.
These compatibility requirements are defined in this Chapter.

— The second category describes how the Control-Command Subsystem has to be applied and what
functions it has to perform in order that interoperability is achieved. This category is defined in Chapter 4.

— The third category describes how the Control-Command Subsystem has to be operated in order that

interoperability is achieved. This category is defined in Chapter 4.

3.2.5.1.

Engineering Compatibility

3.2.5.1.1 P h y s i c a l E n v i r o n m e n t a l C o n d i t i o n s

Systems complying with the Class A system requirements shall be capable of operating under the climatic and
physical conditions which exist along the relevant part of the trans-European high-speed network. For the
interfaces to rolling stock see section 4.3.2.5 (Physical environmental conditions).

Systems complying with the Class B system requirements shall conform at least to the physical environmental
specifications applying to the corresponding Class B system, in order to be capable of operating under the
climatic and physical conditions which exist along the trans-European high-speed lines concerned.

3.2.5.1.2 R a i l w a y I n t e r n a l E l e c t r o m a g n e t i c C o m p a t i b i l i t y

The Basic Parameter is described in section 4.2.12 (Electromagnetic Compatibility). For the interfaces to rolling
stock see section 4.3.2.6 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and for the interfaces to Energy see section 4.3.4.1
(Electromagnetic Compatibility).

3.2.5.2.

Control-Command Compatibility.

Chapter 4, supported by Annexes A and B, defines the requirements for the interoperability of the Control-
Command Subsystem.

In addition, this TSI together with the Control-Command TSI for the trans-European conventional rail system
ensures, as far as the Control-Command Subsystem is concerned, the technical interoperability between trans-
European high speed rail and conventional rail systems when both are fitted with Class A system.

4.1.

CHARACTERISATION OF THE SUBSYSTEM

Introduction

The trans-European high-speed rail system, to which the Directive 96/48/EC applies and of which the Control-
Command Subsystem is a part, is an integrated system whose consistency must be verified. This consistency
must be checked in particular with regard to the specifications of the subsystem, its interfaces vis-à-vis the system
in which it is integrated, as well as the operating and maintenance rules.

Taking account of all the relevant Essential Requirements, the Control-Command Subsystem is characterised by
the following Basic Parameters:

— Control-Command safety characteristics relevant to interoperability (section 4.2.1)

— On-board ETCS functionality (section 4.2.2)

— Track-side ETCS functionality (section 4.2.3)

— EIRENE functions (section 4.2.4)

7.12.2006

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 342/9

— ETCS and EIRENE air gap interfaces (section 4.2.5)

— On-Board Interfaces Internal to Control Command (section 4.2.6)

— Track-side Interfaces Internal to Control Command (section 4.2.7)

— Key Management (section 4.2.8)

— ETCS-ID Management (section 4.2.9)

— HABD (hot axle box detector) (section 4.2.10)

— Compatibility with track-side Train Detection Systems (section 4.2.11)

— Electromagnetic Compatibility (section 4.2.12)

— ETCS DMI (driver machine interface) (section 4.2.13)

— EIRENE DMI (driver machine interface) (section 4.2.14)

— Interface to data recording for regulatory purposes (section 4.2.15)

— Visibility of track-side Control-Command objects (section 4.2.16)

The requirements of sections

— 4.2.10 (HABD (Hot axle box detector)),

— 4.2.11 (Compatibility with Track-side Train Detection Systems),

— 4.2.12 (Electromagnetic Compatibility),

— 4.2.16 (Visibility of track-side Control-Command objects)

shall always be applied, independently of the class of system.

All other requirements in section 4.2 (Functional and technical specifications of the Subsystem) shall always be
applied to the Class A system only. Requirements of Class B systems are the responsibility of the appropriate
Member State. Annex B deals with the characteristics of the Class B system and defines the responsible Member
States.

The STMs, which enable the Class A On-board system to operate over Class B infrastructure, are subject to the
Class B requirements.

To achieve interoperability it is not necessary to standardise all the functions within the whole Control-
Command Subsystem. The functionality for automatic train protection and automatic train control considered in
chapter 4 is:

— on-board standard functions, ensuring that every train will react to data received from track-side in a

predictable way.

— track-side standard functions, able to process data from national interlocking and signalling systems and to

translate such data into standard messages for the trains,

— standard interfaces for track-to-train and train-to-track communication,

The Control-Command functions are classified in categories indicating, for example, whether they are optional
or mandatory. The categories are defined in Annex A, index 1 and Annex A, index 32 and the classification of
the functions are indicated within their text.

Annex A, index 3 provides the Glossary of ETCS terms and definitions, which are used in the specifications
referred in Annex A.

Control-Command safety characteristics relevant to interoperability

This Basic Parameter describes the safety requirements for ERTMS/ETCS on On-board assemblies and the safety
requirements on Track-side assemblies.

With reference to the Essential Requirement ‘safety’ (see section 3.2.1, Safety), this Basic Parameter establishes the
mandatory requirements for interoperability:

— To ensure that the solutions to achieve safety do not jeopardise interoperability the requirements of

Annex A, Index 47 shall be respected.

— For the safety related part of one On board Assembly as well as for one Track-side Assembly, the safety

The maintenance rules of the Subsystem covered by this TSI shall ensure that the values quoted in the basic
parameters indicated in Chapter 4 are maintained within the required limits throughout the lifetime of the
assemblies. However, during preventative or corrective maintenance, the subsystem may not be able to achieve
the values quoted in the basic parameters; the maintenance rules shall ensure that safety is not prejudiced during
these activities.

To achieve these results, the following shall be respected.

4.5.1.

Responsibility of manufacturer of equipment

The manufacturer of equipment incorporated in the subsystem shall specify:

— all maintenance requirements and procedures (including supervision of well functioning, diagnosis and test
methods and tools) necessary for the achievement of essential requirements and values quoted in the
mandatory requirements of this TSI during the whole equipment life-cycle (transport and storage before
installation, normal operation, failures, repair actions, verifications and maintenance interventions, de-
commissioning etc.),

— all the risk for health and safety that may affect the public and the maintenance staff,

— the conditions for first line maintenance (i.e. the definition of Line Replaceable Units (LRUs), the definition
of approved compatible versions of Hardware and Software, the substitution of failed LRUs, and e.g. the
conditions for storage of LRUs and for repair of failed LRUs,

— the technical conditions for running a train with failed equipment to the end of its mission or to the
workshop (degraded mode from a technical point of view, e.g. functions partially or fully switched off,
isolation from other functions etc.).

— the verifications to be performed in case equipment is subject to exceptional stress (e.g., exceedance of

environmental conditions or abnormal shocks)

4.5.2.

Responsibility of contracting entities

The contracting entities shall:

— ensure that, for all components within the scope of this TSI (regardless if interoperability constituents or
not), the maintenance requirements as described in section 4.5.1 (Responsibility of manufacturer of
equipment) are defined.

— set up the necessary maintenance rules relevant for all components within the scope of this TSI taking
account of risks due to interactions of different equipment inside the subsystem and interfaces to other
sub-systems.

4.5.3.

Responsibility of infrastructure manager or railway undertaking

The infrastructure manager or railway undertaking responsible for operating the On-board or Track-side
Assembly:

— Shall set up a maintenance plan as specified in section 4.5.4 (Maintenance plan).

L 342/24

Maintenance plan

The maintenance plan shall be based on the provisions specified in section 4.5.1 (Responsibility of manufacturer
of equipment), section 4.5.2 (Responsibility of contracting entities) and section 4.5.3 (Responsibility of
infrastructure manager or railway undertaking) and cover, at least:

— Conditions for the use of equipment, according to the requirements indicated by the manufacturers.

— Specification of the maintenance programs (e.g. definition of preventive and corrective maintenance
categories, maximum time between preventive maintenance actions and corresponding precautions to be
taken for the safety of the Subsystem and the maintenance staff, considering interference of maintenance
actions with the operation of the Control-Command Subsystem).

— Requirements for the storage of spare parts.

— Definition of first line maintenance.

— Rules for the management of failed equipment.

— Requirements related to the minimum professional competences of maintenance staff, with reference to

the risks for health and safety.

— Requirements related to personal protective equipment.

— Definition of responsibilities and authorisation of maintenance staff (e.g., for access to equipment,
management of limitations and/or interruptions of system operation, replacement of LRUs, repair of failed
LRUs, restore of normal system operation).

— Procedures for the management of ETCS-identities. See section 4.2.9 (ETCS-ID Management).

— Methods for reporting to the manufacturer of equipment information on safety-critical defects and

frequent system failures.

INTEROPERABILITY CONSTITUENTS

Definitions

According to Article 2(d) of Directive 96/48/EC:

Interoperability constituents are ‘any elementary component, group of components, subassembly or complete
assembly of equipment incorporated or intended to be incorporated into a Subsystem upon which the
interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system depends either directly or indirectly’. The concept of
a constituent covers both tangible objects and intangible objects such as software.

5.2.

List of interoperability constituents

5.2.1.

Basic interoperability constituents

The interoperability constituents in the Control-Command Subsystem are listed in:

— Table 5.1.a for the On-board Assembly,

— Table 5.2.a for the Track-side Assembly.

The interoperability constituent ‘safety platform’ is defined as a building block (generic product, independent of
the application) made of hardware and base software (firmware and/or operating system and/or support tools),
which can be used for building more complex systems (generic applications, i.e. classes of applications).

5.2.2.

Grouping of interoperability constituents

The Control-Command basic interoperability constituents defined in Tables 5.1.a and 5.2.a may be combined to
form a larger unit. The group is then defined by the functions of the integrated interoperability constituents and
the remaining interfaces to the outside of the group. If a group is formed this way, it shall be considered as an
interoperability constituent.

— Table 5.1.b lists the groups of interoperability constituents of the On-board Assembly

— Table 5.2.b lists the groups of interoperability constituents of the Track-side Assembly

When the mandatory specifications indicated in this TSI are not available to support an interface, a declaration of
conformity may be possible by grouping interoperability constituents.

5.3.

Constituents performances and specifications

For each basic interoperability constituent or group of interoperability constituents, the tables in chapter 5
describe:

— In column 3, the functions and interfaces. Note that some interoperability constituents have functions and/

or interfaces that are optional.

— In column 4, the mandatory specifications for the conformity assessment of each function or interface, as

far as relevant, by reference to the relevant section of chapter 4.

— In column 5, the modules to be applied for conformity assessment, which are described in chapter 6 of this

TSI.

Note that the requirements of section 4.5.1 (Responsibility of manufacturer of equipment) apply to each basic
interoperability constituent or group of interoperability constituents.

The manufacturer of an interoperability Constituent (IC) (and/or groups of interoperability constituents) or his
authorised representative established within the Community shall draw up an EC declaration of conformity in
accordance with Article 13.1 and Annex IV of the Directive 96/48/EC before placing them on the market.

The assessment procedure for conformity of interoperability constituents and/or groups of interoperability
constituents as defined in Chapter 5 of this TSI shall be carried out by application of modules as specified in
section 6.1.2 (Modules).

Some of the specifications in this TSI contain mandatory and/or optional functions. The Notified Body shall:

— Verify, that all mandatory functions relevant to the interoperability constituent are implemented ;

— Verify, which optional functions are implemented,

and carry out the assessment of conformity.

The supplier shall indicate in the EC declaration which optional functions are implemented.

The Notified Body shall verify, that no additional functions, implemented in the constituent, lead to conflicts
with implemented mandatory or optional functions.

6.1.1.1.

The Specific Transmission Module (STM)

The STM has to meet national requirements, and its approval is a responsibility of the appropriate Member State
as stated in Annex B.

The verification of the STM interface to the ERTMS/ETCS on-board requires a conformity assessment carried out
by a notified body. The notified body shall verify that the Member State has approved the national part of the
STM.

6.1.1.2.

EC declaration of suitability for use

An EC declaration of suitability for use is not required for interoperability constituents of the Control-Command
Subsystem.

6.1.2.

Modules

For the assessment of interoperability constituents within the Control Command subsystem, the manufacturer,
or his authorised representative established within the Community, may choose the modules according to tables
5.1A, 5.1B, 5.2A and 5.2B:

— Either the type-examination procedure (Module B) for the design and development phase in combination
with the production quality management system procedure (Module D) for the production phase, or

— The type-examination procedure (Module B) for the design and development phase in combination with

the product verification procedure (Module F), or

— The full quality management system with design examination procedure (Module H2).

The description of the modules is in Annex E of this TSI.

The Module D (production quality management system) may only be chosen where the manufacturer operates a
quality system for production, final product inspection and testing, approved and surveyed by a notified body.

— verify that all optional functions required by the track-side or on-board specific implementation are

implemented;

The Notified Body shall verify, that no additional functions, implemented in the assembly, lead to conflicts with
implemented mandatory or optional functions.

Information on the specific implementation of the Track-side Assembly and On-board assembly shall be
provided in the Register of Infrastructure and in the Register of Rolling Stock in accordance with Annex C.

The EC declaration of verification of Track-side Assembly or On-board Assembly shall provide all the
information required for inclusion in the above-mentioned registers. The Registers shall be managed in
accordance with Interoperability Directive 96/48/EC Article 22.a.

The EC declaration of verification of On-board and Track-side Assemblies, together with the Certificates of
Conformity, is sufficient to ensure that an Track-side Assembly will operate with a On-board Assembly equipped
with corresponding characteristics as defined in the Register of Rolling Stock and in the Register of Infrastructure
without an additional subsystem EC declaration of verification.

6.2.1.1.

Functional integration verification of On-board Assembly

The verification is to be made for a Control-Command On-board Assembly installed on a vehicle. For the
Control-Command equipment that is not defined as Class A only the verification requirements associated with
interoperability (for example STM-ERTMS/ETCS On-board interface) are included in this TSI.

Before any on-board functional verification can take place, the interoperability constituents included in the
assembly shall have been assessed in accordance with section 6.1 above resulting in an EC declaration of
conformity. The notified body shall assess that they are suitable for the application (e.g., optional functions
implemented).

Class A functionality already verified at interoperability constituent level does not require additional verification.

The integration verification tests shall be performed to demonstrate that the components of the assembly have
been correctly interconnected and interfaced to the train to ensure that the required functionality and
performance required for that application of the assembly is achieved. When identical Control-Command On-
board Assemblies are installed on identical items of rolling stock, the integration verification has to be done only
once on one item of rolling stock.

The following shall be verified:

— correctness of installation of the Control-Command On-board Assembly (e.g. compliance with engineering
rules, co-operation of interconnected equipment, absence of unsafe interactions and, where required,
storage of application specific data)

— correctness of operations at the interfaces with rolling stock (e.g., train brakes, train integrity)

— ability to interface with Control-Command Track-side Assembly with corresponding characteristics (e.g.,

ETCS application level, optional functions installed)’

— ability of reading and storing in the safety data recorder all required information (also provided by non-

ETCS systems, if required)

This verification may be made in a depot.

The verification of the ability of the On-board Assembly to interface with a Track-side Assembly consists of the
verification of the ability to read a certified Eurobalise and (if the functionality is installed on-board) Euroloop
and the ability to establish GSM-R connections for voice and (if the functionality is installed) for data.

If class B equipment is also included, the notified body shall verify that the integration test requirements issued by
the appropriate Member State have been met.

6.2.1.2.

Functional integration verification of Track-side Assembly

The verification is to be made for a Control-Command Track-side Assembly installed on an infrastructure. For
the Control-Command equipment that is not defined as Class A only the verification requirements associated
with interoperability (for example EMC) are included in this TSI.

Before track-side functional verification can take place the interoperability constituents included in the assembly
shall have been assessed in accordance with section 6.1 (Interoperability constituents) above and have an EC
declaration of conformity. The notified body shall verify that they are suitable for the application (e.g., optional
functions implemented).

Class A functionality already verified at interoperability constituent level does not require additional verification.

For the design of the ERTMS/ETCS part of the Control-Command Track-side Assembly, TSI requirements must
be complemented by national specifications covering e.g.,

— the description of the line, characteristics such as gradients, distances, positions of route elements and

Eurobalises/Euroloops, locations to be protected, etc.

— the signalling data and rules required to be handled by the ERTMS/ETCS system.

The integration verification tests shall be performed to demonstrate that the components of the assembly have
been correctly interconnected and interfaced to national track-side equipment to ensure that the required
functionality and performance of the assembly necessary for that application is achieved.

The following track-side interfaces shall be considered:

— Between the Class A radio system and the ERTMS/ETCS (RBC or Radio In-fill Unit, if relevant)

— Between Eurobalise and the LEU

— Between Euroloop and the LEU

— Between neighbouring RBCs

— Between the ERTMS/ETCS (RBC, LEU, Radio In-fill Unit) and Interlocking or national signalling, as relevant

The following shall be verified:

— correctness of installation of the ERTMS/ETCS part of the Control-Command Track-side Assembly (e.g.
compliance with engineering rules, co-operation of interconnected pieces of equipment, absence of unsafe
interactions and, where required, storage of application specific data according to the above mentioned
national specifications).

— correctness of operations at the interfaces with national Track-side equipment.

— ability to interface with an On-board Assembly with corresponding characteristics (e.g., ETCS application

level)

6.2.1.3.

Assessment in migration phases

Upgrading an existing track-side or on-board Control-Command Assembly may be performed in successive steps
in accordance with chapter 7. In each step only compliance with the TSI requirements relevant for the step is
achieved, while other requirements of the remaining steps are not fulfilled.

The contracting entity may lodge an application for the assessment of the Assembly at this step from a Notified
Body.

Independently of the modules chosen by the contracting entity the Notified Body shall verify that:

— the TSI requirements relevant for this step are respected

— the TSI requirements already assessed are not prejudiced

7.12.2006

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 342/35

Functions already assessed and unchanged and not affected by this step do not need to be checked again.

The certificate(s) issued by the Notified Body after the positive assessment of the Assembly is accompanied by
reservations indicating the limits of the certificate(s), which TSI requirements are fulfilled and which are not
fulfilled.

The reservations shall be indicated in the Rolling Stock Register and/or Infrastructure Register as appropriate.

6.2.2.

Modules

All modules indicated below are specified in Annex E of this TSI.

6.2.2.1. On-board Assembly

For the verification procedure of the On-board Assembly, the contracting entity or its authorised representative
established within the Community may choose either:

— The type-examination procedure (Module SB) for the design and development phase in combination with
the production quality management system procedure (Module SD) for the production phase, or

— The type-examination procedure (Module SB) for the design and development phase in combination with

the product verification procedure (Module SF), or

— The full quality management system with design examination procedure (Module SH2).

6.2.2.2.

Track-side Assembly

For the verification procedure of the track-side assembly, the contracting entity or its authorised representative
established within the Community may choose either

— The unit verification procedure (Module SG), or

— The type-examination procedure (Module SB) for the design and development phase in combination with
the production quality management system procedure (Module SD)) for the production phase, or

— The type-examination procedure (Module SB) for the design and development phase in combination with

the product verification procedure (Module SF), or

— The full quality management system with design examination procedure (Module SH2).

6.2.2.3.

Conditions for use of Modules for on-board and track side Assemblies

The Module SD (production quality management system) may only be chosen where the contracting entity
contracts only with manufacturers, that operate a quality system for production, final product inspection and
testing, approved and surveyed by a notified body.

The Module SH2 (full quality management system with design examination) may only be chosen where all
activities contributing to the Subsystem project to be verified (design, manufacturing, assembling, installation)
are subject to a quality system for design, production, final product inspection and testing, approved and
surveyed by a notified body.

Independently of the selected module, the design review includes the verification that the requirements of
section 4.5 (Maintenance rules) of this TSI have been respected.

Independently of the selected module, the provisions of Annex A index 47, index A1, and where relevant index
A2 and index A3 shall be applied.

With reference to Chapter 4 of the Module SB (type-examination), design review is requested.

With reference to section 4.3 of the ‘Module SH2 (full quality management system with design examination), a
type test is required.

L 342/36

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

7.12.2006

With reference to

— Section 5.2 of the Module SD (production quality management system),

— Chapter 7 of the Module SF (product verification),

— Chapter 4 of Module SG (unit verification),

— Section 5.2 of Module SH2 (full quality management system with design examination), validation under
full operational conditions is defined in section 6.2.2.3.1 (On-Board Assembly Validation) and
section 6.2.2.3.2 (Track-side Assembly Validation).

6.2.2.3.1 O n - B o a r d A s s e m b l y Va l i d a t i o n

For an On-board Assembly the validation under full operational conditions shall be a type test. It is acceptable to
be performed on a single instance of the assembly, and shall be performed by means of test runs with the scope
to verify:

— Performances of the odometry functions.

— Compatibility of the Control-Command Assembly with rolling stock equipment and environment (e.g.,
EMC) in order to be able to multiply the implementation of the On-board Assembly on other locomotives
of the same type.

— Compatibility of the rolling stock with Control Command Track-side Assembly (e.g EMC aspects, operation

of track circuits and axle counters).

Such test runs shall be performed on an infrastructure allowing for verifications in conditions representative of
the characteristics that may be found in the trans-European high-speed rail network (e.g., gradients, train speed,
vibrations, traction power, temperature).

In case there are limitations to a general applicability of the results of the tests (e.g., TSI compliance proven only
up to a certain speed), these limitations shall be recorded in the certificate and in the rolling stock register.

6.2.2.3.2 T r a c k - s i d e A s s e m b l y Va l i d a t i o n

For a Track-side Assembly the validation under full operational conditions shall be performed by means of test
runs of a rolling stock of known characteristics and shall have the scope to verify compatibility between rolling
stock and Control-Command Track-side Assembly (e.g. EMC aspects, operation of track circuits and axle
counters). Such test runs shall be performed with suitable rolling stock of known characteristics allowing for
verifications in conditions that may occur during service (e.g., train speed, traction power).

Test runs shall also validate the compatibility of the information provided to the train driver by the Track-side
Assembly with the physical route (e.g. speed limits, etc.).

If specifications that are foreseen by, but not yet available in, this TSI for the verification of a Track-side Assembly,
the Track-side Assembly shall be validated by appropriate field tests (to be defined by the contracting entity of
this Track-side Assembly).

In case there are limitations to a general applicability of the results of the tests (e.g., TSI compliance proven only
up to a certain speed), these limitations shall be recorded in the certificate and in the infrastructure register.

6.2.2.4.

Assessment of Maintenance

The conformity assessment of the maintenance is in the responsibility of a body authorised by the Member State.
The Annex F describes the procedure by which this body ascertains that maintenance arrangements meet the
provisions of this TSI and ensure the respect of the basic parameters and essential requirements during the
subsystem lifetime.

Interoperable Constituents Not Holding an EC Declaration

6.3.1.

General

For a limited period of time, known as the ‘transition period’, interoperability constituents not holding an EC
Declaration of Conformity or Suitability for Use may exceptionally be incorporated into subsystems, on the
condition that the provisions described in this section are met.

6.3.2.

The Transition Period

The transition period shall commence from the entry into force of this TSI and shall last for six years.

Once the transition period has ended, and with the exceptions allowed under section 6.3.3.3 below,
interoperability constituents shall be covered by the required EC declaration of conformity and/or suitability for
use before being incorporated into the subsystem;

6.3.3.

The Certification of Subsystems Containing Non-Certified Interoperability Constituents during the
Transition Period

6.3.3.1.

Conditions

During the transition period a Notified Body is permitted to issue a certificate of conformity for a subsystem,
even if some of the interoperability constituents incorporated within the subsystem are not covered by the
relevant EC declarations of conformity and/or suitability for use according to this TSI, if the following three
criteria are complied with:

— the conformity of the subsystem has been checked in relation to the requirements defined in chapter 4 of

this TSI by the Notified Body, and

— through carrying out additional assessments the Notified Body confirms that the conformity and/or the
suitability for use of the interoperability constituents is in accordance with the requirements of chapter 5 ,
and

— the interoperability constituents, which are not covered by the relevant EC declaration of conformity and/
or suitability for use, shall have been used in a subsystem already put in service in at least one of the
Member States before the entry in force of this TSI.

EC Declarations of conformity and/or suitability for use shall not be drawn up for the interoperability
constituents assessed in this manner.

6.3.3.2. Notification

— the certificate of conformity of the subsystem shall indicate clearly which interoperability constituents have

been assessed by the Notified Body as part of the subsystem verification.

— the EC declaration of verification of the subsystem shall indicate clearly:

— Which interoperability constituents have been assessed as part of the subsystem

— Confirmation that the subsystem contains the interoperability constituents identical to those verified

as part of the subsystem.

— For those interoperability constituents, the reason(s) why the manufacturer did not provide an EC

Declaration of conformity and/or suitability for use before its incorporation into the subsystem.

6.3.3.3.

Lifecycle Implementation

The production or upgrade/renewal of the subsystem concerned must be completed within the six years of the
transition period. Concerning the subsystem lifecycle:

— During the transition period and

— under the responsibility of the body having issued the declaration of EC verification of the subsystem

L 342/38

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

7.12.2006

the interoperability constituents which do not hold an EC declaration of conformity and/suitability for use and
are of the same type built by the same manufacturer are permitted to be used for maintenance related
replacements and as spare parts for the subsystem.

After the transition period has ended and

— until the subsystem is upgraded, renewed or replaced and

— under the responsibility of the body having issued the declaration of EC verification of the subsystem

the interoperability constituents which do not hold an EC declaration of conformity and/suitability for use and
are of the same type built by the same manufacturer may continue to be used for maintenance related
replacements.

6.3.3.4. Monitoring Arrangements

During the transition period Member States shall monitor:

— The number and type of interoperability constituents introduced on the market within their own State;

— Ensure that, where a subsystem is presented for authorisation, reasons for non-certification of the

interoperability constituent by the manufacturer are identified;

— Notify, to the Commission and to the other Member States, the details of the non-certified IC and the

reasons for non-certification.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TSI CONTROL-COMMAND

General

This chapter outlines the strategy and the associated technical solutions for implementation of the TSI, notably
the conditions underpinning the migration to Class A systems.

Account must be taken of the fact that the implementation of a TSI occasionally has to be co-ordinated with the
implementation of other TSIs.

L 342/42

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

7.12.2006

7.2.

Detailed implementation criteria

7.2.1.

GSM-R implementation Rules

Track-side installations:

It is mandatory to fit a GSM-R track-side assembly in any new installation of the radio part of a CCS track-side
assembly or in any upgrade of an existing installation, where this would change its functions, performance and/
or interfaces. This excludes those modifications that might be deemed necessary to mitigate safety-related defects
in the legacy installation.

It is forbidden to upgrade Class B train-radio systems unless a modification is deemed necessary to mitigate
safety-related defects in the legacy system.

It is recommended to install GSM-R whenever the infrastructure or energy sub-system of a section of line already
in service is to be upgraded, renewed or maintained when this entails an investment higher than at least ten times
those associated with the installation of GSM-R facilities on that section of line.

After the radio part of a CCS track-side assembly has been upgraded, the existing Class B equipment may remain
in use together with the Class A radio equipment, until a date foreseen by the relevant national plan(s), and
subsequently by the EU master plan. The Railway Undertaking is not allowed to oppose the removal of the Class
B radio done under such conditions.

On-board installations:

It is mandatory to fit a GSM-R onboard assembly when:

— any new radio part of a CCS onboard assembly is installed (with or without a Class B system), or;

— any existing radio part of a CCS onboard assembly is upgraded, where this would change the functions,
performance and/or interfaces of the existing legacy system (as referred to in annex B of this TSI). This
excludes those modifications that might be deemed necessary to mitigate safety-related defects in the legacy
system.

After an upgrade of the radio part of an onboard assembly, the pre-existing Class B equipment may remain in use
simultaneously with the Class A radio equipment.

7.2.2.

ETCS implementation Rules

Track-side installations:

It is mandatory to fit an ETCS track-side assembly when:

— the train protection part of a CCS track-side assembly is a new installation (with or without a Class B track-

side assembly), or

— the existing train protection part of a CCS track-side assembly is upgraded, where this would change the
functions, performance and/or interoperability-relevant interfaces (air-gaps) of the existing legacy system
(as referred to in annex B of this TSI). This excludes those modifications that might be deemed necessary to
mitigate safety-related defects in the legacy installation.

It is forbidden to upgrade Class B train-protection systems unless a modification is deemed necessary to mitigate
safety-related defects in the legacy system.

It is recommended to install ETCS whenever the infrastructure or energy sub-system of a section of line already
in service is to be upgraded, renewed or maintained when this entails an investment higher than at least ten times
those associated with the installation of ETCS facilities on that section of line.

After the train protection part of a CCS track-side assembly has been upgraded, the existing Class B equipment
may remain in use together with the Class A train protection equipment, until a date foreseen by the relevant
national plan(s), and subsequently by the EU master plan, defined in clause 7.2.5. The Railway Undertaking is not
allowed to oppose the removal of the Class B train-protection equipment done under such conditions.

7.12.2006

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 342/43

Onboard installations:

It is mandatory to fit an ETCS onboard assembly when:

— any new train protection part of a CCS onboard assembly is installed, or

— any existing train protection part of a CCS onboard assembly is upgraded, where this would change the
functions, performances and/or interoperability-relevant interfaces of the existing legacy system (as referred
to in annex B of this TSI). This excludes those modifications that might be deemed necessary to mitigate
safety related defects in the legacy system;

It is recommended to install ETCS whenever a rolling stock already in service is upgraded when this entails an
investment higher than at least ten times those associated with the installation of ETCS on that specific type of
rolling stock.

After the train protection part of an onboard assembly has been upgraded, the existing Class B onboard train
protection equipment may continue to remain in use, together with the Class A equipment.

7.2.3.

Additional Class-B equipment on a Class A — equipped line

On a line equipped with ETCS and/or GSM-R, additional Class B equipment is possible in order to allow the
operation of rolling stock not compatible with Class A during the migration phase. It is allowed to use existing
Class B equipment on-board as a fallback arrangement to Class A system: this does not allow an infrastructure
manager to require Class B systems onboard the interoperable trains for running on such a line.

Where dual fitment and operation of Class A and B systems occurs, then both systems may be active
simultaneously onboard, provided that national technical requirements and operating rules support this manner
and that interoperability is not compromised. The national technical requirements and operating rules will be
provided by the Member State.

7.2.4.

Upgrading or renewal of the Control-Command Track-side Assembly or parts of it

Upgrading or renewal of the track-side assembly may concern separately:

— radio-system (for class B, only renewal is possible) ,

— train protection system,

— train detection system interface,

— hot axle box detection system,

— EMC characteristics.

Therefore different parts of the Control-Command Track-side Assembly may be upgraded or renewed separately
(if interoperability is not prejudiced) and concern:

— EIRENE functions and interfaces (see sections 4.2.4 and 4.2.5);

— ETCS/ERTMS functions and interfaces (see sections 4.2.1, 4.2.3, 4.2.5, 4.2.7, 4.2.8);

— Train detection system (see section 4.2.11);

— Hot axle box detector (see section 4.2.10);

— EMC characteristics (see section 4.2.12).

After the upgrade to Class A system, the existing Class B equipment may remain in use simultaneously with Class
A.

Availability of Specific Transmission Modules

In case lines under the scope of the present TSI will not be equipped with Class A systems, the Member State
shall make every effort for the availability of an external Specific Transmission Module (STM) for its legacy Class
B system or systems. In this context, due regard is to be given to the assurance of an open market for STM at fair
commercial conditions. In those cases that due to technical or commercial reasons (1) the availability of an STM
cannot be ensured within the appropriate time frame (2) the relevant Member State is deemed to inform the
Committee of the reasons underpinning such a problem and the mitigation measures that it intends to put into
place in order to allow access — notably of foreign operators — to its infrastructure.

7.2.6.

Interfaces with class B systems

In every case, to support continued interoperability, Member States shall ensure that the functionality of legacy
systems for radio and train protection (referred to in Annex B of the TSI), and their interfaces remain as currently
specified. This requirement excludes those modifications that might be necessary to mitigate safety-related defects
of these systems.

Member States shall make available the information that is required to support development and safety-
certification of apparatus, to allow interoperability of Class A equipment with their legacy Class B radio and train
protection facilities.

7.2.7.

National ERTMS Implementation Plans and EU Master Plan

Member States shall prepare a formal national ERTMS implementation plan for the high-speed rail network
addressing the deployment of both ETCS and GSM-R. The plan shall fulfil the implementation rules specified in
sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.2

For ETCS, the national plan shall give priority to implementation on the high-speed lines belonging to the ETCS-
Net as described in annex H of the HS CCS TSI as well as to the rolling stock to be operated on these lines. The
target date for such implementation is 2015.

The national plans shall provide, in particular, the following elements:

— Target lines: a clear identification of the national lines or sections which are earmarked for implementation.

— Technical requirements: the essential technical characteristics of the different implementations (e.g. a GSM-
R quality of service for data or just voice quality implementation, Functional Level of ETCS, ETCS baseline,
ETCS-only or overlaid installations);

— Deployment strategy and planning: an outline of the implementation plan (including sequencing and

timing of the works);

— Migration strategy: the strategy envisaged for the migration of both the infrastructure and rolling-stock
sub-systems (e.g. superposition of Class A and Class B systems, planned date for the switching from Class B
to Class A facilities or for the removal of Class B facilities);

— Potential constraints: an overview of potential elements that might

the
implementation plan (e.g. signalling works integrating larger scope infrastructure works, assurance of
continuity of service across borders).

impact on fulfilment of

These national plans are to be finally aggregated within an EU Master Plan within six months of their
notification.

7.2.8.

Registers of Infrastructure

The Infrastructure Register shall provide Railway Undertakings with Class A and Class B information, following
Annex C requirements. The Infrastructure Register indicates if Mandatory or Optional (3)
functions are
concerned; the constraints on onboard configuration have to be identified.

(1)

e. g. the feasibility of the external STM concept cannot be technically guaranteed or potential issues relating to the ownership of the
intellectual property rights of the Class B systems prevent a timely development of an STM product.

In case European specifications for some interface(s) between Control-Command and Signalling and other sub-
systems are not available at the moment of installation (e.g., electromagnetic compatibility between train
detection and Rolling Stock), the corresponding characteristics and the standards applied shall be indicated in the
Registers of Infrastructure. This shall be possible, in any case, only for the items listed in Annex C.

7.2.9.

Rolling stock with train protection Class A and Class B equipment

Rolling stock may be equipped with both Class A and Class B systems to enable operations on several lines. The
Class B systems may be implemented

— using an STM that may be plugged into the ERTMS equipment (‘external STM’), or

— integrated within the ERTMS/ETCS equipment.

Also, the Class B system could be implemented independently (or, in case of upgrade or renewal, be left ‘as is’), in
case of Class B systems for which an STM is not an economically viable alternative, from the rolling stock
owner's point of view. However, if a STM is not used, the Railway Undertaking must ensure that the absence of a
‘handshake’ (= handling, by ETCS, of transitions between Class A and Class B on track-side) nevertheless is
properly managed. The Member State may put requirements on this in the Infrastructure Register.

When running on a line which is equipped with both Class A and Class B systems, the Class B systems may act as
fallback arrangement for the Class A system if the train is equipped with both Class A and Class B systems. This
cannot be a requirement for interoperability and is not valid for GSM-R.

7.2.10.

Registers of Rolling Stock

The Rolling Stock Register shall provide information following Annex C requirements.

In case TSI requirements for some interface(s) between Control-Command and Signalling and other sub-systems
are not available at the moment of installation (e.g., electromagnetic compatibility between train detection and
Rolling Stock, climatic conditions and physical conditions in which the train can work, geometric parameters of
the train like length, maximal distance of axles in the train, length of the nose of the first and of the last car of the
train, braking parameters), the corresponding characteristics and the standards applied shall be indicated in the
Registers of Rolling Stock. This shall be possible, only for the items listed in Annex C.

Remark: for every implementation of Control-Command Subsystem on a given line, Annex C gives the list of the
requirements for the onboard, to be addressed in the Registers of Infrastructure, indicating if these requirements
concern Mandatory or Optional functions and identifying constraints on train configuration.

7.3.

Conditions under which optional functions are required

According to the characteristics of the track-side Control-Command Track-side Assembly and its interfaces with
other sub-systems, some track-side ERTMS/ETCS and GSM-R functionality not classified as mandatory, may have
necessarily to be implemented in certain applications to comply with the essential requirements.

The track-side implementation of National or Optional-functions must not prevent the entry onto that
infrastructure for a train that complies only with the mandatory requirements of Onboard Class A system except
as required for the following on-board optional functions:

— An ETCS Level 3 Track-side application requires train integrity supervision onboard;

— An ETCS Level 1 Track-side application with infill requires corresponding in-fill functionality onboard if

the release speed is set to zero for safety reasons (e.g., protection of danger points).

— When ETCS requires data transmission by radio, the data transmission services of GSM-R must fulfil the

ETCS data transmission requirements.

— An onboard assembly, which incorporates a KER STM, may require to implement the K-interface.

— A GSM-R trackside vigilance functionality where implemented requires a vigilance onboard functionality as

described in 4.3.2.11.

Management of changes

The Agency shall be responsible for preparing the review and updating of TSIs and making any
recommendations to the Committee referred to in Article 21 of Directive 96/48/EC in order to take account
of developments in technology or social requirements.

To that purpose, the European Railway Agency, in its role as system authority for ERTMS, has established the
transparent process to manage the system changes, with the contribution of the sector’s representatives.

This process shall take account of the estimated costs and benefits of all technical solutions considered and shall
ensure backward compatibility between consecutive versions. This process is laid down in the document ‘ERTMS
change control management’, that will, as necessary, be updated by the European Railway Agency.

Requirements on trackside hot wheelset bearing detection (‘Hot Axle Box Detection’) Systems

Appendix 2

1.

GENERAL

This part of TSI defines the requirements on trackside components of Hot Axle Box Detection Systems (HABD) and deals
only with the Class A system.

Rolling stock concerned are those which are intended to be used on 1435mm track gauge.

Vehicles equipped with onboard hot wheelset bearing detection and shielded against trackside hot wheelset bearing
detection need therefore not to be considered here.

The target area is defined as that surface of the wheelset bearing box which

— has a temperature related to the axle bearing temperature and

— is completely visible for vertical trackside scanning.

The target area of vehicles is described by transverse and longitudinal dimensions. The target area is therefore defined as a
characteristic of rolling stock and is originally defined in vehicle-side co-ordinates.

The scanning range is as a characteristic of the HABD System and its mounting and originally defined in track-side co-
ordinates.

Target area (rolling stock) and scanning range (HABD) are interfacing each other and have to overlap.

Figure a) gives an overview and shows details for the following definitions.

2.

SCANNING RANGE (HABD) AND TARGET AREA (ROLLING STOCK) IN TRANSVERSE DIRECTION

HABD Systems shall have a scanning range being able to measure a hot target area of 50mm within de1 = 1 040mm to de2
= 1 120mm related to the centre-line of the vehicle at a height above top of rail between h1 = 260 mm and h2 = 500 mm
(minimum range).

3.

SCANNING RANGE (HABD) AND TARGET AREA (ROLLING STOCK) IN LONGITUDINAL DIRECTION

HABD-System shall measure axle boxes in a longitudinal scanning range corresponding with longitudinal target area
dimensions from 80 mm up to 130 mm in the velocity range from 3 km/h up to 330 km/h.

For higher speeds the values will have to be defined when necessary.

4.

MOUNTING DIMENSIONS IN THE TRACK

The centre of the detection area of the HABD shall be mounted at a distance from the track centre line which guarantees the
values given in 1.2. and which may consider rolling stock still not following the requirements of TSI Rolling Stock. Therefore
this distance is not given by this TSI. This way the HABD should be able to detect all kind of hot axle box constructions.

A vertical scanning is highly recommended.

5.

ALARM-TYPES AND -LIMITS

The HABD shall build the following alarm-types:

— hot-alarm

— warm-alarm

— difference-alarm or other type of alarm

7.12.2006

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 342/61

According to annex C

— the values for alarm limits have to be stated in the infrastructure register,

— the corresponding rolling stock side axle box surface temperatures have to be stated in the rolling stock register.

In case future track-side equipment is able to safely identify the train according to its temperature limits, a automatic
adjustment of the alarm limits could be performed.

6.

SPECIFICATION

The technical specification — including EMC requirements — has to be mandated.

USE OF ANNEX B

This Annex presents the train protection, control and warning systems and radio systems that pre-date the introduction of
the Class A train control systems and radio systems and that are authorised for use on the European high speed and
conventional network up to speed limits defined by the appropriate Member State. These Class B systems were not
developed under unified European specifications, and therefore there may be proprietary specification rights with their
suppliers. The provision and maintenance of these specifications shall not conflict with national regulations — especially
those concerning patents.

During the migration phase in which these systems will be gradually replaced by the unified system, there will be a need to
manage the engineering specifications in the interests of interoperability. This is the responsibility of the Member State
concerned or its representative in co-operation with the respective system supplier in accordance with both Control-
Command TSIs for the trans-European high-speed and conventional rail systems.

Vehicles are not required to conform to all of the class B system specifications, but rather to conform to the requirements of
the Member States in which they will operate. An approval for each country of operation, issued on the basis of the relevant
national approval procedures will be required.

Railway undertakings needing to install one or more of these systems on their trains shall refer to the appropriate Member
State. Annex C manages the corresponding geographical distribution of each system, requiring for each line a Register of
Infrastructure describing the equipment type and the associated operational arrangements. By means of the Register of
Infrastructure the infrastructure manager ensures the coherence between the Control-Command Track-side Assembly and
the rulebook under his authority.

The Member State shall provide to the railway undertaking the advice necessary to obtain a safe installation compatible with
the requirements of both TSIs and Annex C.

The Class B installations shall include the fallback arrangements, as required by Annex C.

For the Class B systems, this Annex provides basic information. For each system listed, the Member State identified shall
guarantee that its interoperability is maintained and shall provide the information required for the purposes of its
application, in particular the information relevant to its approval.

ALSN

Automatic locomotive signalling of continues operation

Автоматическая Локомотивная Сигнализация Непрерывного действия (original Russian name),

Description:

ALSN is a system of in-cab signalling and train auto-stop equipment. It is installed on major lines of Latvian Railway and
neighbouring countries: Lithuania and Estonia. (For information only: it is installed as well as on railways of Russian
Federation and Belarus).

The system consists of coded track circuits (TC) and on-board equipment.

The track circuits are of rather conventional design with receivers based on relay technique.

Open lines are equipped with:

— coded TC's of alternating current (AC) with frequency of 50 (1), 75 or 25 Hz; or

— continuous TC's, which ensure switching-on coding mode towards an approaching train depending on the train

direction:

— TC's with frequency of 50, 75 or 25 Hz of AC for continuous mode and with frequency of 50, 75 or 25 Hz for

coding mode;

— DC TC's.

Stations are equipped with:

— continuous TC's which ensure switching-on coding mode towards an approaching train depending on the train

direction:

— TC's with frequency of 50, 75, 25 Hz or audio-frequency of AC for continuous mode and with frequency of 50,

75 and 25 Hz for coding mode; or

— DC TC's.

(1)

In Estonia only 50 Hz is used

L 342/64

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

7.12.2006

The on-board equipment consists of an electronic amplifier; a relay-based decoder; an electro-pneumatic valve for switching
on/off braking system; a light signal, representing aspects of field-side signals, and a vigilance handle for confirmation of
received information by a driver.

The system is safety-related, not fail-safe since it is a supplement to field-side signals, but safe enough to supervise the driver.

The data transmission between coded track circuits and on-board equipment is via inductively coupled air coil pickup
antennae above the rails.

The system is intended to operate with train movement speed up to 160 km/h.

Main Characteristics:

— Data transmission to train:

— 50, 25 or 75 Hz Carrier frequency

— Numerical code

— Minimal coding current in rails for ALSN operation is 1,2 A

— 4 on-board signal aspects (3 codes and code absence)

— Information available on-board (outside the ALSN): actual speed, length of passed route.

— Display to driver:

— Aspect of on-board signal, corresponding to receive code

— Sound announcement in case of code change to more restrictive one

— Supervision:

— Acknowledgement of a more restrictive by driver within 15 seconds

— Continuous speed supervision after passing the STOP field-side signal.

— Acknowledgement of code absence each 40 — 90 seconds.

— Reaction:

The emergency brake is called in the case of:

— Passing the field-side signal with STOP aspect,

— Over-speed the value, allowed for actual signal aspect,

— Warning (sound announcement) is not acknowledged by the driver.

Responsible Member States: Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania.

ASFA

Description:

ASFA is a cab signalling and ATP system installed on most lines of RENFE (1 668 mm), on metre gauge lines of FEVE, and
on the new European gauge NAFA line.

ASFA is found on all lines being considered for Interoperability.

Track-to-train communication is based on magnetically coupled resonant circuits in such a way that nine different data can
be transmitted. A resonant circuit track-side is tuned to a frequency representing the signal aspect. The magnetically coupled
on-board PLL is locked to the track-side frequency. The system is safety related, not fail safe, but safe enough to supervise the
driver. It reminds the driver of the signalling conditions and obliges him to acknowledge restrictive aspects.

The track-side and on-board units are of conventional design.

Coded track circuits are installed on all high density Dublin Suburban routes and on Intercity routes to Cork, Limerick,
Athlone and as far as border with UK towards Belfast.

The diesel powered fleet is fitted with Continuous Automatic Warning System equipment. Included are trains from UK
operating into Republic of Ireland on a daily basis. This translates the received coded signal into a signal colour indication
which is displayed to the driver.

The electric powered fleet is fitted with Automatic Train Protection equipment. This translates the received coded signal into
a maximum speed which is displayed to the driver. The electric fleet operates only in Dublin Suburban Electrified Area.

Main Characteristics: (Dublin Suburban Electrified Area)

GW ATP SCHEME

Description:

The GW ATP is an Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system used in the UK on the Great Western (GW) lines between
London (Paddington), Bristol Temple Meads, Bristol Parkway and Newbury. The system is based on similar hardware to the
TBL system used in Belgium, although there are some differences both technically and in operation.

The system is only relevant for trains which run with a speed higher than 160 km/h.

The system provides the following core functions:

— Full automatic train protection where the train is fitted and operating over fitted infrastructure

— Vehicle maximum speed supervision and roll-away protection where the train is fitted and operating over unfitted

infrastructure

Data is transmitted from the track-side by beacons located adjacent to signals. Infill loops are provided where necessary to
improve operational performance.

Main characteristics

— Data transmission to the trains

— 100kHz ± 10kHz (FSK)

— 25kbit/sec

— 99 useful bits per telegram

— Train characteristics as input by the driver

— Train characteristics in terms of e.g. basic braking rates, maximum speed are set by a pre-programmed
parameter plug fitted to the train hardware. Variations in train make-up and brake availability can be set by the
driver at start-up.

— Driver interface

Visual indications:

— The maximum safe speed

— The target speed

— The expected status of the next approaching signal

— Presence of Emergency Speed Restrictions

— Fault indications

— Roll away

— Intervention activation

— Shunting operation mode

— Pass stop signal mode

— Signal passed at danger

— Subsidiary signal passed (authorised movement onto an occupied line)

Audible indications:

— Short advisory tone whenever the displayed information changes

— Continuous warning tone when the safe speed is being exceeded, or an emergency speed restriction has been
encountered, or when a signal is passed at danger, or roll away is detected or a system fault is detected

Driver controls:

— On button/indicator

— Acknowledge button to regain control following system intervention

— Shunting mode activation button

— Pass Stop Signal button for passing a signal at danger under authority

— Isolation controls

— Supervision

The system supervises train movements using following parameters:

— Maximum safe speed (line speed and permanent speed restrictions)

— Temporary speed restrictions

— Stopping point

— Dynamic braking profile

— Direction of movement (including roll-away supervision)

The system initiates a full service brake application if:

— The indicated safe maximum speed is exceeded by a set margin and the driver fails to respond to the audible warning

— An emergency speed restriction is encountered

— A recoverable system fault occurs, e.g. failure to receive data from a track-side beacon when expected

The ATP system initiates an emergency brake application if:

— The train passes a signal at danger (the train is brought to a stand, and the driver can then proceed in partial

supervision, but is limited to 20 mph for 3 minutes or until the next beacon is passed)

— Roll away occurs (i.e. a movement of more than 10 metres or at more than 5 mph in a direction not corresponding to

the position of the master controller)

— A non-recoverable system failure occurs

KVB

Description:

Standard ATP system in France on the network of RFF. All electrified conventional lines are sprinkled with, for speed
supervision, protection of dangerous points, and temporary speed restrictions. Implemented as 99 % on conventional lines.
Partially installed on high speed lines for spot transmission and for supervision of temporary speed restrictions when speed
levels are not provided by the TVM codes.

The system consists of track-side balises including signal encoders and on-board computerised equipment. The system is an
overlay system to conventional signalling equipment.

The data transmission is between passive track-side balises (2 to 9 per signal) and an on-board antenna underneath the
vehicle which also supplies the balise with energy when passing. The coupling between balise and on-board is inductive.
This data transmission is also used for spot information not related to ATP (e.g. doors, radio channels).

Moreover, the KVB can be completed by a continuous transmission, to allow in-fill functionality (like Euroloop):

The in-fill is realised with a continuous transmission. This is done by a shift frequency modulation (FSK) with two carriers Fp
at 20 KHz and 25 KHz (one for each track). The data to transmit are of binary type, in groups of 80 bits (64 are useful). An
in-fill message needs three elements of 80 bits, successively transmitted. This is a so-called ‘long’ message.

The transmission of a bit set to ‘1’ is made b the emission of the frequency Fp + 692 Hz, the transmission of one bit set to ‘0’
is made by the emission of the frequency Fp — 750 Hz.

MEMOR II+

Description:

The ATP system, which is installed on all lines of the Luxembourg railway network, is used for the protection of dangerous
points and temporary speed restrictions. The MEMOR II+ is complementary to the Crocodile system.

The system is based on one respectively two iron bars in the track, which are physically contacted by brushes installed on
board of the trains. The bars carry a tension of +/- 12 to +/- 20V depending on the signal aspect. The system is not
considered fail safe, but safe enough to supervise the driver. It acts completely in background mode, that means that it
doesn't give any indications to the driver about signal aspects, it only indicates that the train is supervised.

L 342/82

Official Journal of the European Union

7.12.2006

Main Characteristics:

— Trackside DC powered bars (± 12 to +/- 20 V)

— On board, no input of train characteristics by the driver, only one predefined speed curve stored on board.

— Supervision:

In case of caution signals or signals indicating speed restrictions, one positive trigger starts speed supervision,
supervision of time and speed values for a certain distance compared to the stored speed curve.

In case of absolute stop signals, two positive triggers within a distance of 11 meters act an emergency brake.

— Reaction:

The emergency brake is called if supervision is violated (no valid reaction from the driver). The emergency brake can
be released after standstill.

— Displays to the driver:

Outlook:

The Luxembourg railway infrastructure network is being equipped with ECTS level I. The stepwise putting into service of
ECTS will replace the MEMOR II and the crocodile system. This requests a transition period to adapt the engine side systems
to ETCS. Finally the ECTS level I system will be the only valid system in use on the Luxembourg railway infrastructure
network.

RETB

Description:

Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB) is a signalling system used on a small number of lightly used lines in the UK within the
scope of the conventional interoperability directive (three lines in Scotland and one in Wales).

The system provides the following core functions:

— Issuing of movement authorities from the signalling control centre to trains by means of electronic ‘tokens’, sent by

radio to the trainborne equipment

— Display of the movement authority to the driver

— Surrendering the movement authority ‘token’ when the train has completed the authorised movement

The RETB system is operated in conjunction with procedures for the driver-signaller communications protocol, which are
applied when requesting, issuing and surrendering the movement authority ‘tokens’.

RETB does not include train protection functionality (therefore there is no interface between the train's RETB equipment and
the braking system). However, train protection against overruns is provided by standard TPWS equipment, described
elsewhere in Annex B. The trainborne TPWS equipment includes AWS functionality (also described in Annex B), which
provides audible and visual indications to the driver on the approach to the limit of a movement authority and on the
approach to speed restrictions.

Trainborne equipment

The trainborne equipment comprises the radio equipment and the RETB Cab Display Unit (CDU).

Radio equipment

The radio system used for transmission of the movement authority ‘tokens’ is a variant of the NRN system that is used in the
UK (described elsewhere in Annex B). The radio equipment is used for both voice and data purposes.

RSDD/SCMT

(Ripetizione Segnali Discontinua Digitale/Sistema Controllo Marcia del Treno)

Description:

RSDD/SCMT is an ATP system; it can be used alone or superimposed on the BACC infrastructure.

The on-board equipment is able to manage in a co-ordinated way information coming from the different sources.

The system consists of track-side balises and encoders, and an on-board antenna which also supplies the balise with energy
when passing. The coupling is inductive.

From the logical point of view, two kinds of balises exist: ‘System Balises’ containing information on the line ahead, and
‘Signalling Balises’ containing information on the signals aspect.

Three types of balises are foreseen, all using the same frequencies for up- and downlink, but with different capacity:

— Energising frequency:

— 27,115 MHz

— Data transmission to trains:

— 4,5 MHz

— 12/180 bit ASK Modulation

— 1 023 bit FSK Modulation

— Train characteristics:

Fixed train characteristics are loaded in maintenance facilities, while data depending on train composition are inserted
by the driver. Special balises are used to calibrate the on board odometer system, before it can be used for train
supervision purpose.

— Displays to the driver:

— Maximum permitted speed

— Target speed

— Actual train speed

— Advanced information on secondary targets

— Warnings before emergency brake intervention

SHP

Samoczynne Hamowanie Pociągu

Description:

AWS system, which is installed in Poland on lines under consideration for Interoperability.

Magnetically coupled resonant circuits track-side and on-board transmit 1 information to the train. The system is considered
fail safe. It is integrated with on-board active vigilance system. The vigilance system is also protecting against uncontrolled
vehicle movement (sliding) with speed above 10 % of the vehicle maximal allowed speed. It acts completely in background
mode, that means that it does not give the driver any indications about signal aspects, it only indicates that the train is
supervised.

Main Characteristics:

— Frequency

— 1 000 Hz

— Supervision:

— 1 000 Hz: Acknowledgement of a signal

— Resonant circuit location:

— 200 m before line signals and station entrance signals

— 0 m before (at) station exit signals

Reaction:

lamp is activated, when train is passing resonant circuit

On-board signal
(mounted track-side), requesting driver
confirmation. If confirmation is not received within 3 s, an acoustic signal is activated. If confirmation is not received within
2 s after acoustic signal activation, system initiates emergency brake. The emergency brake can be released under special
conditions.

The active vigilance system is activated when vehicle speed exceeds 10 % of vehicle maximal allowed speed. After 16 s signal
lamp is activated and driver confirmation is required with the same timing as in SHP function. Then confirmation is required
after each 60 s. The SHP supervision is retriggering 60 s vigilance check period.

TBL 1/2/3

Description:

TBL is an ATC system partially installed on lines of NMBS/SNCB (presently: 1 200 beacons and 120 trainborne equipment
TBL1, 200 beacons and 300 trainborne equipment TBL2, all lines for speeds higher than 160 km/h equipped with TBL2)

The system consists of a track-side balise at each signal and an on-board equipment. The TBL1 is a warning system, TBL2/3
is a cab signal system. For TBL2/3, there are in-fill balises, and an infill cable loop is also available.

The track-side part is designated TBL2 in case of interface to relay interlockings, and TBL3 in case of serial interface to
electronic interlocking.

The trainborne equipment is called TBL2. It includes the TBL2, the TBL1 and the crocodile functions.

The data transmission is between the active balise and a set of air coil antennae on-board. The system is direction sensitive,
the balises are mounted between the rails with a small offset from the centre.

Main Characteristics:

— Data transmission to trains:

— 100 kHz ± 10 kHz (FSK)

— 25 kbit/sec

— 119 useful bits per telegram for TBL2/3

— 5 useful decimal data on 40 bits per telegram for TBL1

TPWS

Description:

TPWS is to improve safety, principally at junctions. It includes the functionality of AWS, shown in italics. TPWS applies to all
lines considered to be interoperable.

The system assures the following functions:

Warning to the driver at standard braking distance of the following restrictive conditions:

— Signals not at clear.

— Permanent speed restrictions

— Temporary speed restrictions

Train protection (pre-determined train characteristics) under the following circumstances:

— Train exceeding permitted line speed at specified speed restrictions (speed trap).

— Train approaching a stop signal at excess speed (one or more speed traps).

— Train passing a signal at danger (train stop).

The system is based on permanent magnets and coils generating fields in the track. The system is not considered failsafe, but
incorporates measures and principles to reduce the probability of misleading the driver as low as reasonably practicable.

The TPWS indicates visually to the driver:

— The state of the last magnet, clear or restrictive (the ‘sunflower’ indicator).

— That it is the cause of a brake application.

— Its fault/isolation status.

The TPWS controls are:

— An acknowledgement button for the warning of a restrictive condition.

— A button to pass a signal at danger valid only for a limited time after operation.

— Isolation controls.

The TPWS audio indications are:

— A ‘bell tone’ — signal at clear.

— A ‘horn tone’ — restrictive condition, that must be acknowledged.

The TPWS system interfaces to the train brake system and provides a full emergency brake application if:

— the ‘horn tone’ is not acknowledged within 2,5 seconds.

L 342/88

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

7.12.2006

— Immediately the train passes the ‘speed trap’ at excess speed.

— Immediately if the train passes a signal at danger.

The technology is not processor based, but this is not excluded.

Other Characteristics:

— Sequence of magnetic fields (North Pole, South Pole) to provide details of signal clear or not clear.

— One of a selection of sinusoidal electromagnetic fields in the region of 60 kHz for the speed trap and train stop

functions (up to 8 frequencies used).

— Train characteristics in terms of braking capacity are set by train wiring and give different maximum speeds at speed

traps. No train characteristics input presently in service, but can be envisaged.

— Driver acknowledgement of a restrictive condition required within 2,5 s, otherwise the emergency brakes are called.

— The emergency brake is releasable one minute after the brake has been applied provided the brake demand has also

been acknowledged.

Introduction to UK Systems

The system called NRN (National Radio Network) is installed over the whole of the UK rail network including the high-speed
lines which are the backbone of the UK High Speed Network. These consist of:

— West Coast Main Line (London-Glasgow)

— East Coast Main Line (London-Edinburgh)

— Great Western Main Line (London-Bristol/South Wales)

The system called Cab Secure is installed in high traffic suburban areas around London, Liverpool and Glasgow, some of
which may include lines forming part of the High Speed Network. In addition, all main lines in the SouthEast, including the
existing Channel Tunnel Route from the coast to London Waterloo, are equipped with the Cab Secure System.

Mainline passenger trains and freight trains are fitted with NRN whilst suburban and some intermediate traffic equipped
with CSR. In general trains are only equipped with one form of radio but a few trains that travel in areas of both NRN and
CSR is equipped with both forms of radio. This in particular applies to trains which are equipped with CSR but spend parts
of their operating cycle outside the CSR infrastructure area.

FS ETACS and GSM

Description:

The solution for radio train to ground communication working today at FS is primarily based on the use of services supplied
by the public operator on the analogue (ETACS) and the digital (GSM) mobile cellular networks in the 900 MHz band. These
networks have been implemented with an external Subsystem, developed by the operator together with FS in order to
manage some special features as requested by FS, related for example to:

— addressing of train and station calls through functional numbers in place of the terminal number;

— closed group features with specific barring conditions;

— configuration and handling of specialised data bases directly by FS people to characterise access rights to services for

each kind of users, and so on.

Thanks to the wide radio coverage supplied by the two public cellular systems on the FS railway network, the general train to
ground communication needs can be satisfied in this way.

The additional features were negotiated and implemented by FS in co-operation with the public service provider. They are
implemented in highly reliable distributed computer systems. They are therefore part of the application layer in the ISO/OSI
layer model.

TRS — The Czech Railways Radio System

Description:

Railway Radio communication System TRS is designed for the operational duplex communication between the running
engine driver and a dispatcher or a signaller by means of the ribbon network along the track.

The system TRS enables duplex communication for conversation, routine information (commands, reports), general call and
emergency call transmission and semiduplex communication between drivers by means of the retransmission in the base
station reach, namely conversation and emergency call transmission. The system concept enables creating the special
outfitting set which can operate in the simplex network on frequencies in band 160 MHz for simplex communication of
engine drivers and other subscribers on a beforehand selected channel.

Selective calling with the train six-digits number shall be transmitted in the direction dispatcher (signaller) to driver,
identification (by the train number) shall be transmitted in the direction train — dispatcher (signaller).

Routine information (commands and reports) transmission is realised by means of a telegram. System TRS is outfitted with
the digital transmission in the coded form of a short telegram FFSK 1 200 bps in both directions. One of commands is
assigned to the train remote stop that can be activated by a dispatcher or a signaller and causes vehicle emergency braking (if
an adapter to ATP type LS 90 or driver vigilance equipment is present on-board).

System TRS is fully compatible at the control signals level in accordance with mandatory recommendation UIC 751-3. It
means it is possible to accomplish the conversation, general calling and emergency call among the TRS and systems
manufactured by other producers. Communication is accomplished on four internationally co-ordinated frequencies in the
band 450 MHz range A according to UIC.

The following matrix gives an overview of the possible transitions between different Class B-systems as defined in this
Annex and between Class A and Class B systems.

The matrix does not mandate any technical solutions for either the ERTMS/ETCS-system or the concerned STMs defined in
this Annex. Those are documented either in the technical specifications of the Control-Command Subsystem (referenced in
chapter 5 of both Control-Command TSIs for the trans-European high-speed and conventional rail systems) or in the
relevant national documentation of the Class B-systems or the STMs, respectively. It is important to note that the matrix
does not define any additional technical requirements for either the ERTMS/ETCS system or the STMs. The matrix provides
information only about transitions that could occur on the high-speed and conventional rail networks.

The matrix can serve as a tool to assist with technical and economical decisions in the implementation of the directives 96/
48/EC and 2001/16/EC.

As far as transitions between two Class-B systems are concerned, the requirement for interoperability is that the technical
solution for the transition is not in contradiction with the TSIs and,
it is in line with the referenced
documentation concerning the ERTMS/ETCS system. It must be stated, that the actual Class 1 specification only supports
STM transitions (see SRS section 5.10 especially 5.10.3.11 and section 7.4.2.9). The operational regulation regarding
transition between two Class B systems is regarded as national issue.

in particular,

TRANSITION MATRIX

How to read the matrix

The diagonal of the matrix lists the Class A and all Class B systems relevant for the High-speed and Conventional Trans
European Rail Networks.

Each field of the matrix is filled, either by a number (indicate that a transition is permissible between the systems in the
column/row in which the field occurs) or by grey colour, to indicate that no transition exists, nor is any foreseen.

The number indicates the countries responsible for the specification of the transition and the associated procedures.

The transitions between the Class A and Class B systems (first column) shall be performed as described in the document
SUBSET 035.

System Transitions

Where a transition is performed by ETCS STM, the terms defined in the document SUBSET-035 should be used.

System transitions (Class A and B)

The matrix identifies the required operational transitions. An operational transition is one in which one system takes over
the responsibility for train supervision from another system. At such a transition the driver usually experiences one ore
more of the following:

— A change in the way the train movement is supervised

— A change in how the driver interacts with the system

ANNEX C

LINE SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS AND TRAIN SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS TO BE PUT IN THE
REGISTERS ACCORDING TO ART. 22.A OF THE DIRECTIVE 96/48/EC

General requirements

As stated in Chapter 7, the line-specific characteristics defined in this Annex shall be included in the Register of
Infrastructure by the infrastructure manager.

As stated in Chapter 7, the train-specific characteristics defined in this Annex shall be included in the Register of Rolling
Stock by the railway undertaking.

As stated in section 6.2 (Control-Command Subsystem), as a pre-condition for operating a train, the corresponding Register
of Rolling Stock and Register of Infrastructure have to be cross-checked for interoperability.

Annex C deals with those aspects of the Control-Command Assemblies which are covered neither by Annex A nor by
Annex B, and with the options permitted for Class A and Class B systems and interfaces (see Annex D,).

Information on specific conditions on RS for operation of train detection systems must be indicated in the Registers.

Register of Infrastructure

This TSI allows some options of equipment, functions and infrastructure-related values. In addition, where TSI requirements
do not cover the whole Control-Command Track-side Assembly, special requirements in the context of existing technical
systems and in particular the use of specific operational requirements are possible and are the responsibility of the
Infrastructure Manager.

Such information concerns for example:

— choices in the frame of technical compatibility requirements listed in Annex A,

— choices in the frame of technical compatibility requirements listed in Annex B,

— EMC-values (because of the use of equipment which is not covered by TSI requirements, for instance axle-counter-

systems),

— climatic conditions and physical conditions along the line.

This information has to be available for and used by the railway undertakings in the form of a line specific handbook
(Register of Infrastructure) which can also contain other particularities of other TSI's (e.g., the TSI Traffic Operation and
Management contains in the Rule Book Annex B systems and degraded modes)

The Register of Infrastructure may be specific to one line or a group of lines having the same characteristics.

The objective is that the requirements and characteristics stated in the Register of Infrastructure and in the Register of
Rolling Stock accord with the TSIs; particularly they must not be a hindrance to interoperability.

Register of Rolling Stock

In the frame of this TSI, for the railway undertaking, some choices of equipment, functions and values related to the type of
train are foreseen. In addition, because TSI requirements do not cover the whole Control-Command On-board Assembly the
infrastructure manager needs additional information concerning the use of Class B systems, and the characteristics of the
train which are relevant for track-side non Class B systems. This information concerns, for example:

— choices in the frame of technical compatibility requirements listed in Annex A,

— choices in the frame of technical compatibility requirements listed in Annex B,

— EMC-values (because of the use on the lines concerned of equipment which is not covered by TSI requirements,

7.12.2006

L 342/123

— geometric and electrical parameters of the train like length, maximal distance of axles in the train, length of the nose
of the first and of the last car of the train, maximal electrical resistance between the wheels of an axle (in context with
Annex A Appendix 1 (rolling stock characteristics necessary to be compatible with train detection systems) because of
the track-circuit design arrangement),

— braking parameters for Class A system

— braking parameters for Class B systems

— general braking parameters

— types of brakes

— eddy current brake installed

— magnetic brake installed

— climatic conditions and physical conditions in which the train is specified to operate.

This information has to be available for and to be used by the infrastructure managers by means of a train specific handbook
(Register of Rolling Stock) which can also address the possibility or the need of auxiliary functions for the train to be
manageable or to be managed by Control-Command functions, e.g., for passage of neutral sections, speed reduction in
special circumstances depending of the train and line characteristics (tunnels) and particularities of other TSIs.

The Register of Rolling Stock can be specific to one train or a category of trains having the same characteristics

Lists of specific characteristics and requirements

The following list is the mandatory requirement for the Register of Infrastructure and for the Register of Rolling Stock in
order to describe sufficiently the specific characteristics and requirements, and to facilitate interoperability. The list deals
only with technical issues, the operational issues are contained in the TSI Traffic Operation and Management.

The requirements may be satisfied by the application of a standard. In this case, the reference concerned must be given in
these handbooks.

Otherwise, any special requirements (methods of measurement) must be inserted into or appended to the Register of Rolling
Stock and the Register of Infrastructure.

For Class B systems, the measures implemented in the context of the responsible Member State given in Annex B apply. The
Register of Infrastructure shall include the following items:

— responsible Member State,

— name of Annex B sub-system,

— version and placing into service date,

— speed restrictions and other Class B specific conditions/requirements, due to system limitations,

— further details according to the lists below.

MODULES FOR INTEROPERABILITY CONSTITUENTS

Module B: Type Examination

1.

2.

This module describes that part of the procedure by which a notified body ascertains and attests that a type,
representative of the production envisaged, meets the provisions of the TSI that apply to it.

The application for the EC type-examination must be lodged by the manufacturer or his authorised representative
established within the Community.

The application must include:

— the name and address of the manufacturer and also, if the application is lodged by the authorised representative,

his name and address ,

— a written declaration that the same application has not been lodged with any other notified body,

— the technical documentation, as described in point 3.

The applicant must place at the disposal of the notified body a specimen, representative of the production envisaged
and hereinafter called 'type'.

A type may cover several versions of the Interoperability Constituent provided that the differences between the
versions do not affect the provisions of the TSI.

The notified body may request further specimens if needed for carrying out the test programme.

If no type tests are requested within the type examination procedure, and the type is sufficiently defined by the
technical documentation, as described in point 3, the notified body may agree, that no specimens are placed at its
disposal.

3.

The technical documentation must enable the conformity of the interoperability constituent with the requirements of
the TSI to be assessed. It must, as far as relevant for such assessment, cover the design, manufacture, maintenance and
operation of the interoperability constituent.

The technical documentation must contain:

— a general type-description,

— conceptual design and manufacturing information, for example drawings and schemes of components, sub-

assemblies, circuits, etc.,

— descriptions and explanations necessary for the understanding of the design and manufacturing information,

maintenance and the operation of the interoperability constituent,

— conditions of integration of the interoperability constituent in its system environment (sub-assembly, assembly,

subsystem) and the necessary interface conditions,

— conditions for use and maintenance of the interoperability constituent (restrictions of running time or distance,

wear limits etc),

— the technical specifications, including European specifications (1) with relevant clauses, applied in full or in part,

— descriptions of the solutions adopted to meet the requirements of the TSI in cases where the European

specifications have not been applied in full,

— results of design calculations made, examinations carried out, etc.,

— test reports.

(1)

the definition of an European specification is indicated in the directives 96/48/EC and 01/16/EC. The guide for application of HS TSIs
explains the way to use the European Specifications

7.12.2006

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 342/129

4.

The notified body must:

4.1.

examine the technical documentation,

4.2. verify that any specimen(s) required for test has (have) been manufactured in conformity with the technical
documentation, and carry out or have carried out the type tests in accordance with the provisions of the TSI and/or
the relevant European specifications,

4.3. where a design review is requested in the TSI, perform an examination of the design methods, the design tools and the
design results to evaluate their capability to fulfil the requirements for conformity for the interoperability constituent
at the completion of the design process,

4.4. where a review of the manufacturing process is requested in the TSI, perform an examination of the manufacturing
process devised for manufacturing the interoperability constituent, to evaluate its contribution to product conformity,
and/or examine the review carried out by the manufacturer at the completion of the design process,

4.5.

identify the elements which have been designed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the TSI and the
European specifications as well as the elements which have been designed without applying the relevant provisions of
those European Specifications;

4.6. perform or have performed the appropriate examinations and necessary tests in accordance with points 4.2., 4.3. and
4.4 to establish whether, where the manufacturer has chosen to apply the relevant European specifications, these have
actually been applied;

4.7. perform or have performed the appropriate examinations and necessary tests in accordance with points 4.2., 4.3. and
4.4. to establish whether, where the relevant European specifications have not been applied, the solutions adopted by
the manufacturer meet the requirements of the TSI;

4.8.

agree with the applicant the location where the examinations and necessary tests will be carried out.

5. Where the type meets the provisions of the TSI, the notified body must issue a type-examination certificate to the
applicant. The certificate must contain the name and address of the manufacturer, conclusions of the examination,
conditions for its validity and the necessary data for identification of the approved type.

The time period of validity shall be no longer than 5 years.

A list of the relevant parts of the technical documentation must be annexed to the certificate and a copy kept by the
notified body.

If the manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community is denied a type-examination
certificate, the notified body must provide detailed reasons for such denial.

Provision must be made for an appeals procedure.

6.

7.

8.

9.

The applicant must inform the notified body that holds the technical documentation concerning the type-examination
certificate of all modifications to the approved product which must receive additional approval where such changes
may affect the conformity with the requirements of the TSI or the prescribed conditions for use of the product. In this
case the notified body shall perform only those examinations and tests that are relevant and necessary to the change
(s).This additional approval may be given either in the form of an addition to the original type-examination certificate,
or, by the issue of a new certificate after withdrawal of the old one.

If no modifications as in point 6 have been made, the validity of an expiring certificate can be extended for another
period of validity. The applicant will apply for such a prolongation by a written confirmation that no such
modifications have been made, and the notified body issues a prolongation for another period of validity as in point 5,
if no contrary information exists. This procedure can be reiterated.

Each notified body must communicate to the other notified bodies the relevant information concerning the type-
examination certificates and additions issued, withdrawn or refused.

The other notified bodies may receive, on request, copies of the type-examination certificates issued and/or their
additions. The annexes to the certificates (see § 5) must be kept at the disposal of the other notified bodies.

10.

The manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community must keep with the technical
documentation copies of type-examination certificates and their additions for a period of 10 years after the last

L 342/130

interoperability constituent has been manufactured. Where neither the manufacturer nor his authorised representative
is established within the Community, the obligation to keep the technical documentation available is the responsibility
of the person who places the interoperability constituent on the Community market.

Module D: Production Quality Management System

This module describes the procedure whereby the manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the
Community who satisfies the obligations of point 2 ensures and declares that the interoperability constituent
concerned is in conformity with the type as described in the type-examination certificate and satisfies the
requirements of the TSI that apply to it.

The manufacturer must operate an approved quality management system for production, final product inspection and
testing as specified in point 3 and is subject to monitoring as specified in point. 4.

1.

2.

3.

Quality management system

3.1. The manufacturer must lodge an application for assessment of his quality management system with a notified body of

his choice, for the interoperability constituents concerned.

The application must include:

— all relevant information for the product category representative for the interoperability constituents envisaged,

— the documentation concerning the quality management system,

— the technical documentation of the approved type and a copy of the type-examination certificate, issued after

the completion of the type examination procedure of Module B (type examination).

— a written declaration that the same application has not been lodged with any other notified body,

3.2. The quality management system must ensure compliance of the interoperability constituents with the type as
described in the type-examination certificate and with the requirements of the TSI that apply to them. All the
elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a systematic and orderly
manner in the form of written policies, procedures and instructions. The quality management system documentation
must permit a consistent interpretation of the quality programmes, plan, manuals and records.

It must contain in particular an adequate description of:

— the quality objectives and the organisational structure,

— responsibilities and powers of the management with regard to product quality,

— the manufacturing, quality control and quality management techniques, processes and systematic actions that

will be used,

— the examinations, checks and tests that will be carried out before, during and after manufacture, and the

frequency with which they will be undertaken,

— the quality records, such as inspection reports and test data, calibration data, qualification reports of the

personnel concerned, etc.,

— the means to monitor the achievement of the required product quality and the effective operation of the quality

management system.

3.3 The notified body assesses the quality management system to determine whether it satisfies the requirements of point
3.2. It presumes compliance with these requirements if the manufacturer implements a quality system for production,
final product inspection and testing in respect of the Standard EN/ISO 9001-2000, which take into consideration the
specificity of the interoperability constituent for which it is implemented.

When the manufacturer operates a certified quality management system, the notified body shall take this into account
in the assessment.

7.12.2006

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 342/131

The audit must be specific for the product category, which is representative for the interoperability constituent. The
auditing team must have at least one member experienced as an assessor in the product technology concerned. The
evaluation procedure must include an inspection visit to the manufacturer's premises.

The decision must be notified to the manufacturer. The notification must contain the conclusions of the examination
and the reasoned assessment decision.

3.4. The manufacturer must undertake to fulfil the obligations arising out of the quality management system as approved

and to uphold it so that it remains adequate and efficient.

The manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community shall keep the notified body that
has approved the quality management system informed of any intended updating of the quality management system.

The notified body must evaluate the modifications proposed and decide whether the amended quality management
system will still satisfy the requirements of point 3.2 or whether a re-assessment is required.

It must notify its decision to the manufacturer. The notification must contain the conclusions of the examination and
the reasoned assessment decision.

4.

Surveillance of the quality management system under the responsibility of the notified body.

4.1. The purpose of surveillance is to make sure that the manufacturer duly fulfils the obligations arising out of the

approved quality management system.

4.2. The manufacturer must allow the notified body entrance for inspection purposes to the locations of manufacture,

inspection and testing, and storage and must provide it with all necessary information, in particular:

— the quality management system documentation,

— the quality records such as inspection reports and test data, calibration data, qualification reports of the

personnel concerned, etc.

4.3. The notified body must periodically carry out audits to make sure that the manufacturer maintains and applies the

quality management system and must provide an audit report to the manufacturer.

The frequency of the audits shall be at least once a year.

When the manufacturer operates a certified quality management system, the notified body shall take this into account
in the surveillance.

4.4. Additionally the notified body may pay unexpected visits to the manufacturer. During such visits the notified body
may carry out, or cause to be carried out, tests to verify that the quality management system is functioning correctly, if
necessary. The notified body must provide the manufacturer with a visit report and, if a test has taken place, with a test
report.

5.

Each notified body must communicate to the other notified bodies the relevant information concerning the quality
management system approvals, issued, withdrawn or refused.

4.

The notified body must examine the application and the technical documentation, and identify the elements which
have been designed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the TSI and the European specifications, as well as
the elements which have been designed without applying the relevant provisions of those European specifications.

The notified body must examine the subsystem and perform (or participate to) the appropriate and necessary tests to
establish whether, where the relevant European specifications have been chosen, these have actually been applied or
whether the solutions adopted meet the requirements of the TSI when the appropriate European specifications have
not been applied;

The examinations, tests and checks shall extend to the following stages as provided for in the TSI:

— overall design

— structure of the subsystem, including, in particular and when relevant, civil-engineering activities, constituent

assembly, overall adjustments

— final testing of the subsystem

— and, whenever specified in the TSI, the validation under full operational conditions.

The notified body shall take into account previous checking or tests that have been successfully performed, under
comparable conditions by other independent and competent bodies (1). The notified body will then decide as to
whether it shall use the results of these checks or tests. If it accepts, then the notified body shall investigate the
evidences of these previous checking or test and shall establish the conformity of their results with the requirement of
the TSI. In all case the notified body keeps the final responsibility of them.

5.

6.

The notified body may agree with the contracting entity the locations where the tests will be carried out and may
agree that final subsystem tests and, whenever required in the TSI, tests in full operating conditions, are carried out by
the contracting entity under direct supervision and attendance of the notified body.

The notified body must have entrance for testing and verification purposes to the locations of design, building sites,
production workshops, locations of assembly and installations, and where appropriate, prefabrication and testing
facilities in order to carry out its tasks as provided for in the TSI.

7. Where the subsystem meets the requirements of the TSI, the notified body must then, based on the tests, verifications
and checks carried out as required in the TSI and/or in the relevant European specifications, draw up the certificate of
conformity intended for the contracting entity, who shall in turn draw up the EC declaration of verification intended
for the supervisory authority in the Member State where the subsystem is located and/or operates.

The EC declaration of verification and the accompanying documents must be dated and signed. The declaration must
be written in the same language as the technical file and must contain at least the information included in Annex V of
the Directive.

8.

The notified body shall be responsible for compiling the technical file that has to accompany the EC declaration of
verification. The technical file has to include at least the information indicated in Art.18 (3) of the Directive, and in
particular as follows :

— all necessary documents relating to the characteristics of the subsystem

The body authorised by the MS must :

— identify the relevant provisions of the TSI with which the maintenance arrangement must comply;

— check that the maintenance arrangements documentation and technical documentation are complete and in

accordance with the points 3 and 4;

— perform an examination of each development phase of the maintenance arrangements and their results to

evaluate:

— if each phase has been managed in a controlled manner;

— the capability to fulfil the requirements for conformity for the maintenance arrangements;

— document its findings with regards to compliance of the maintenance arrangement with the TSI provisions.

6. Where the maintenance arrangements meet the provisions of the TSI, the body authorised by the MS shall issue the
maintenance arrangements examination report to the applicant. The report shall contain the name and address of the
contracting entity, conclusions of the examination, conditions for its validity, reference to the subsystem maintained
and the necessary data for identification of the maintenance arrangements.

The relevant parts of the technical documentation, including the description of maintenance arrangements and their
conditions of implementation, must be annexed to the report and a copy kept by the body authorised by the MS.
