ANNEX B1
Assessment of the infrastructure subsystem
B1.1. Scope
This annex indicates the assessment of conformity of the infrastructure subsystem.
B1.2. Characteristics and modules
The characteristics of the subsystem to be assessed in the different phases of design, construction and operation are marked by 'X' in Table B1. Where no assessment by a Notified Body is required, this is marked by 'n.a.' in the table.
This does not prevent the need for other assessments to be performed in the framework of other phases.
Definition of assessment phases:
'Detailed design and execution design, before construction': it includes checking of correctness of values/parameters against applicable TSI requirements.
'Constructed, before putting into service': checking on the field that the actual product complies with the relevant design parameters just before putting it into operation
'Validation under full operation conditions': checking the state of the subsystem during operation,
