   (2006/860/EC)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European rail system (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
   Having regard to Directive 2001/16/EC of 19 March 2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the interoperability of the conventional rail system (2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               In accordance with Article 2(c) and Annex II of Directive 96/48/EC, the trans-European high speed rail system is subdivided into structural or functional subsystems, including a control and command and signalling subsystem.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Commission Decision 2002/731/EC (3) laid down the first technical specification (‘TSI’) for interoperability relating to the control-command and signalling subsystem of the trans-European High Speed rail system;
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               Commission Decision 2004/447/EC updated the TSI attached in annex to the Commission Decision 2002/731/EC;
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               It is necessary to review that first TSI in light of technical progress and experience gained from its implementation.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               In accordance with article 6(1) of Directive 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC, the AEIF, as joint representative body, had been given a mandate to review and revise that first TSI.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               Commission Decision 2006/679/EC laid down the technical specification for interoperability relating to the control-command and signalling subsystem of the trans-European conventional rail system;
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               The annex A to the TSI attached to Commission Decision 2006/679/EC (4) contained erroneous references and should therefore be replaced by Annex A to the TSI attached to the present Decision;
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               Section 7.4.2.3 of the TSI attached to Commission Decision 2006/679/EC should be updated in order to take better account of the specific situation of 1520 mm track gauge locomotives and trains as reflected in section 7.5.2.3 of the TSI attached to the present Decision.
            
         
               (9)
            
            
               The draft revised TSI has been examined by the Committee set up by Directive 96/48/EC.
            
         
               (10)
            
            
               This TSI should apply to new or upgraded and renewed infrastructure, under certain conditions.
            
         
               (11)
            
            
               The first TSI concerning the ‘control-command and signalling’ sub-system came into force in 2002. Due to existing contractual commitments, new Control Command and Signalling sub-systems or interoperability constituents, or their renewal and upgrade should be subject to conformity assessment under the provisions of this first TSI. Further, the first TSI should remain applicable for the purposes of maintenance, maintenance related replacements for components of the subsystem and interoperability constituents authorised under the first TSI. Therefore, the effects of Decision 2002/731/EC should be maintained in force in relation to the maintenance of projects authorised in accordance with the TSI annexed to that Decision and to projects for a new line and for the renewal or upgrading of an existing line which are at an advanced stage of development or the subject of a contract in course of performance at the date of notification of the present Decision
            
         
               (12)
            
            
               In order to determine the difference in scope of applicability of the first TSI, from the new TSI which is in annex to the present Decision, Member States should notify, not later than six months after the date on which the present Decision becomes applicable, an exhaustive list of the sub-systems and interoperability constituents to which the first TSI is still applicable.
            
         
               (13)
            
            
               This TSI does not impose the use of specific technologies or technical solutions except where this is strictly necessary for the interoperability of the trans-European high speed rail system.
            
         
               (14)
            
            
               This TSI allows, for a limited period of time, for interoperability constituents to be incorporated into sub-systems without certification if certain conditions are met.
            
         
               (15)
            
            
               In its current version this TSI does not fully deal with all essential requirements. In accordance with Article 17 of Directive 96/48/EC technical aspects which are not covered are identified as ‘Open Points’ in Annex G of this TSI. In accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 96/48/EC, Member States shall notify to the Commission and other Member States a list of their national technical rules relating to the ‘Open Points’ and the procedures to be used for their conformity assessment.
            
         
               (16)
            
            
               In relation to the specific cases described in Chapter 7 of this TSI, Member States shall notify to the Commission and other Member States the conformity assessment procedures to be used.
            
         
               (17)
            
            
               The TSI shall indicate the stages to be completed in order to make a gradual transition from the existing situation to the final situation in which compliance with the TSIs shall be the norm;
            
         
               (18)
            
            
               The latter necessitates the establishment by each Member State of a national implementation plan of the TSI;
            
         
               (19)
            
            
               The migration towards the Class A target system as defined in the TSI requires appropriate measures to be taken at national level in order to facilitate such a migration and particular relevance has to be given to external Specific Transmission Modules for the national legacy Class B command-and-control systems.
            
         
               (20)
            
            
               The provisions of this Decision are in conformity with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 21 of Council Directive 96/48/EC,

      1.3.   Content of this TSI
      In accordance with Article 5(3) of Directive 96/48/EC, this TSI:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  indicates its intended scope (part of the network or rolling stock referred to in Annex I to the Directive; subsystem or part of subsystem referred to in Annex II to the Directive) — Chapter 2 (Subsystem Definition and Scope);
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  lays down essential requirements for the Control-Command Subsystem concerned and its interfaces vis-à-vis other subsystems — Chapter 3 (The Essential Requirements of The Control-Command Subsystem);
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  establishes the functional and technical specifications to be met by the subsystem and its interfaces vis-à-vis other subsystems. If necessary, these specifications may vary according to the use of the subsystem, for example according to the categories of line, hub and/or rolling stock provided for in Annex I to the Directive — Chapter 4 (Characterisation of the Subsystem);
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  determines the interoperability constituents and interfaces covered by European specifications, including European standards, which are necessary to achieve interoperability within the trans-European high speed rail system — Chapter 5 (Interoperability Constituents);

            Moreover, provision may be made for specific cases for each TSI; these are indicated in Chapter 7 (Implementation of the TSI Control-Command).
      Lastly, this TSI also comprises, in Chapter 4 (Characterisation of the Subsystem), the operating and maintenance rules specific to the scope indicated in sections 1.1 (Technical scope) and section 1.2 (Geographical scope).
      2.   SUBSYSTEM DEFINITION AND SCOPE
      2.1.   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.
               
               
                  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).
               
            
                  2.
               
               
                  The INTERFACES.
               
            
                  3.
               
               
                  The level of PERFORMANCE required to meet the essential requirements.
               
            The specification of these functions, interfaces and performance requirements are provided in Chapter 4 (Characterisation of the Subsystem) where supporting standards are referenced.
      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:
                  
               
               
                  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.
               
            
                  
                     Level 2:
                  
               
               
                  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 technical interfaces between the Track-side Control-Command Assemblies of neighbouring infrastructures shall not restrict the uninterrupted passage of trains when crossing borders between them.
      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.   THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE CONTROL-COMMAND SUBSYSTEM
      3.1.   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)
               
               
                  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).
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  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   Physical Environmental Conditions
      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   Railway Internal Electromagnetic Compatibility
      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.   CHARACTERISATION OF THE SUBSYSTEM
      4.1.   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:

            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.
      In light of the essential requirements in Chapter 3, the functional and technical specifications of the Control-Command Subsystem are as follows:
      4.2.   Functional and technical specifications of the Subsystem
      4.2.1.   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 requirement for ETCS level 1 or level 2 (2) is: tolerable hazard rate (THR) of 10-9/hour (for random failures) corresponding to Safety Integrity Level 4. The detailed requirements for Class A equipment are specified in Annex A, Index 27. Less restrictive safety requirements on THR values for Track-side equipment may be adopted, provided that the safety objective for the service is met.
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  The reliability and availability requirements of Annex A, index 28 shall be respected.
               
            4.2.2.   On-board ETCS functionality
      This Basic Parameter describes the ETCS on-board functionality. It contains all functions to run a train in a safe way.

            4.6.   Professional competences
      The professional competences required for the operation of the Control Command subsystem are covered by the TSI Traffic Operation and Management.
      The professional competences required for the maintenance of the Control-Command Subsystem shall be detailed in the maintenance plan (see section 4.5.4 Maintenance plan).
      4.7.   Health and safety conditions
      In addition to the requirements specified in the maintenance plans, see section 4.5 (Maintenance rules), precautions shall be taken to ensure health and safety for maintenance and operations staff, in accordance with the European regulations and the national regulations that are compatible with the European legislation.
      Staff engaged in the maintenance of a CCS trackside equipment, when working on or near the track, shall wear reflective clothes, which bear the EC mark (and therefore satisfy the provisions of Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 December 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to personal protective equipment).
      4.8.   Infrastructure and Rolling stock registers
      The Control-Command Subsystem is treated as two Assemblies:
      
                  —
               
               
                  the On-board Assembly,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  the Track-side Assembly.
               
            The requirements for the infrastructure and rolling stock register content with regard to the Control-Command Assemblies are specified in Annex C (line specific and train specific characteristics).
      5.   INTEROPERABILITY CONSTITUENTS
      5.1.   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.

      6.0   Introduction
      In the scope of the present TSI, fulfilment of relevant essential requirements quoted in chapter 3 of this TSI will be ensured by the compliance with the specification referenced in Chapter 4 and, as a follow up, in chapter 5 for the interoperability constituents, as demonstrated by a positive result of the assessment of conformity and/or suitability of use of the interoperability constituent and verification of the sub system as described in chapter 6.
      Nevertheless, where part of the essential requirements are satisfied by National Rules, because of:
      
                  a)
               
               
                  Use of Class B systems (including national functions in STMs),
               
            
                  b)
               
               
                  Open points in the TSI,
               
            
                  c)
               
               
                  Derogation’s under article 7 of the Directive 96/48//EC,
               
            
                  d)
               
               
                  Specific cases described in Section 7.3
               
            then the conformity assessment shall be carried out under the responsibility of the Member States concerned according to notified procedures.
      6.1.   Interoperability constituents
      6.1.1.   Assessment procedures
      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.
      The Module H2 (full quality management system with design examination) may only be chosen where the manufacturer operates a quality system for design, production, final product inspection and testing, approved and surveyed by a notified body.
      The following additional clarifications apply to the use of some of the modules:

      6.2.   Control-Command Subsystem
      6.2.1.   Assessment procedures
      This Chapter deals with EC declaration of verification of Control-Command Subsystem. As stated in Chapter 2 the application of the Control-Command Subsystem is treated as two assemblies:
      
                  —
               
               
                  the On-board Assembly,
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  the Track-side Assembly.
               
            For each assembly, an EC declaration of verification is required.
      At the request of the contracting entity or its representative established in the Community the notified body carries out EC verification of an On-board or Track-side Assembly in accordance with Annex VI to Directive 96/48/EC.
      The contracting entity shall draw up the EC declaration of verification for the Control-Command Assembly in accordance with Article 18(1) and Annex V of Directive 96/48/EC.
      The content of the EC declaration of verification shall conform to Annex V to Directive 96/48/EC. This includes the verification of the integration of the interoperability constituents that are part of the assembly; the tables 6.1 and 6.2 define the characteristics to be verified and reference the mandatory specifications to be applied.
      Some of the specifications in this TSI contain mandatory and/or optional functions. The Notified Body shall:
      
                  —
               
               
                  verify that all mandatory functions required to the Assembly are implemented;
               
            
                  —
               
               
                  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
               
            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.

                  —
               
               
                  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   Track-side Assembly Validation
      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.
      6.3.   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
               
            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.

            7.   IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TSI CONTROL-COMMAND
      7.1.   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.
      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.
      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.
      7.2.5.   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 (3) the availability of an STM cannot be ensured within the appropriate time frame (4) 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 impact on fulfilment of the implementation plan (e.g. signalling works integrating larger scope infrastructure works, assurance of continuity of service across borders).
               
            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 (5) functions are concerned; the constraints on onboard configuration have to be identified.
      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.
               
            7.4.   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.
      7.5.   Specific Cases
      7.5.1.   Introduction
      The following special provisions are permitted in the specific cases below.
      These specific cases belong to two categories: the provisions apply either permanently (case ‘P’), or temporarily (case ‘T’). In temporary cases, it is recommended that the Member States concerned should conform with the relevant subsystem either by 2010 (case ‘T1’), an objective set out in Decision No 1692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 1996 on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, or by 2020 (case ‘T2’) .
      In this TSI temporary case ‘T3’ is defined as temporary cases which will still exists after 2020.

                        Train detection systems shall be designed in such a way that they are able to detect in a safe and reliable way a vehicle with the limit values specified in this Appendix. Section 4.3 of TSI CCS ensures the conformity of TSI-compliant vehicles with the requirements of this Appendix.

            Appendix 2
            Requirements on trackside hot wheelset bearing detection (‘Hot Axle Box Detection’) Systems
            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
                     
                  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.

         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.
                              
                           
               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.

         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.

         ATP-VR/RHK — AUTOMATIC TRAIN PROTECTION (ATP), JUNAKULUNVALVONTA (JKV)
         Commonly called ‘Junakulunvalvonta (JKV)’ (Finnish meaning Automatic train protection (ATP)).
         Description:
         ATP-VR/RHK system in Finland is a fail safe standard ATP system, which is based either on technology of Ebicab 900 with JGA balises or on technology of ATSS with Mini-transponder balises. The system consists of track-side balises and signal encoders or computers, and on-board computerised equipment.
         The data transmission is between passive track side balises (2 per balise point) and on-board antenna underneath vehicle which also supplies the balise with energy when passing. The coupling between balise and on-board is inductive.

         BACC
         Description:
         BACC is installed on all lines exceeding 200 km/hr on the network of FS and other lines, which are most of the lines under consideration for interoperability.
         The system consists of conventional coded track circuits which operate at two carrier frequencies to deal with two train classes. The on-board equipment is computerised.
         The data transmission between coded track circuits and on-board equipment is via inductively coupled air coil pickup antennae above the rails.

         The system consists of coded track circuits and on-board equipment. Transmission of code is via pick up coils mounted on front of train over each rail.
         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.

                                 If the permitted speed is exceeded or a lower speed code is received, a service brake application occurs until the permitted speed is achieved and the driver has acknowledged the overspeed by moving the power controller into coast or brake. Failure to do so maintains the brake application.

                                 The driver must acknowledge a change to a more restrictive signal aspect within seven seconds otherwise an emergency brake application occurs for one minute. This is not recoverable until the time has expired. Train should be at a stand within one minute.

         CROCODILE
         Description:
         Crocodile is installed on all major lines of RFF, SNCB and CFL. On all lines under consideration for Interoperability Crocodile is found.
         The system is based on an iron bar in the track which is physically contacted by a brush on-board the train. The bar carries a tension of +/- 20V from a battery depending on the signal aspect. There is an indication to the driver and the driver has to acknowledge the warning. If not acknowledged, an automatic brake action is triggered. Crocodile does not supervise any speed or distance. It only acts as a vigilance system.
         The track-side and on-board units are of conventional design.

         EBICAB
         Ebicab exists in two versions: Ebicab 700 and Ebicab 900.
         Description of Ebicab 700:
         Fail safe standard ATP system in Sweden, Norway, Portugal and Bulgaria. Identical Software in Sweden and Norway enables cross-border trains without changing drivers or locomotives despite different signal systems and rules. Different software in Portugal and Bulgaria.
         The system consists of track side, balises and signal encoders or serial communication with electronic interlocking, and on-board computerised equipment.
         The data transmission is between passive track side balises (2 to 5 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.

                     Audible warning when >5 km/h, service brake when >10 km/h over-speed. The service brake can be released by the driver when speed is within limits. Ebicab will brake sufficiently regardless of driver action. The emergency brake is only used in a real emergency e.g. where service braking is not sufficient. Release of emergency brake can occur when train is stationary.

         Description of Ebicab 900:
         The system consists of track side, balises and signal encoders or serial communication with electronic interlocking, and on-board computerised equipment.
         The data transmission is between passive track side balises (2 to 4 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.

         EVM
         Description:
         EVM is installed on all main lines on the network of Hungarian State Railways (MÁV). These lines are under consideration for interoperability. The major part of locomotive fleet is equipped.
         The track-side part of the system consists of coded track circuits which operate one carrier frequency for information transmission. The carrier frequency is coded by 100 % amplitude modulation m using electronic encoder.
         The data transmission between coded track circuits and on-board equipment is via inductively coupled air coil pickup antennae above the rails.

         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:

         Description:
         ATP system which is installed on lines in Austria and Germany under consideration for Interoperability.
         Magnetically coupled resonant circuits track-side and on-board transmit 1 out of 3 information to the train. The system is not considered fail safe, but safe enough to supervise the driver. It acts completely in background mode, that means that is does not give the driver any indications about signal aspects, it only indicates that the train is supervised.

         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.

         LS
         Description:
         LS is installed on all main lines on the network of Czech Railways (CD) and Railways of Slovak Republic (ZSR) and on other lines with a speed exceeding 100 km/h. These lines are under consideration for interoperability.
         The track-side part of the system consists of coded track circuits which operate one carrier frequency. The carrier frequency is coded by 100 % amplitude modulation. Almost entire fleet of locomotives is equipped by the on-board equipment. The on-board part of the system has been upgraded and so the equipment is partly computerised.
         The data transmission between coded track circuits and on-board equipment is via inductively coupled air coil pickup antennae above the rails.

         (Linienförmige Zugbeeinflussung)
         Description:
         ATC system which is installed on all lines in Germany exceeding 160 km/hr, which are significant parts of the lines under consideration for Interoperability. LZB is also installed on lines in Austria and Spain.
         The system consists of a track-side part, which again has the building parts:

         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.

                     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.

                     State of emergency brake.
                  
               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:

                     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:

                     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.

In this case the MMI is switched off and the driver has to drive according to line side signals.

         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.

               Reaction:
         On-board signal lamp is activated, when train is passing resonant circuit (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.

         TVM
         Description:
         TVM is a cab signalling control command system. It is especially dedicated to the high speed lines of RFF. The older version TVM 300 is installed on the line Paris-Lyon (LGV SE) and Paris-Tours/Le Mans (LGV A) lines. The later version TVM 430 on the line Paris-Lille-Calais (LGV N), on the SNCB part towards Brussels, on the line Lyon-Marseilles/Nimes (LGV Mediterranée), through the Eurotunnel and on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link in the UK. TVM 430 is compatible with TVM 300.
         TVM 300 and TVM 430 are based on coded track circuits as continuous transmission means and inductive loops or balises (KVB or TBL type) as spot transmission means.
         The data transmission between coded track circuits and on-board equipment is via inductively coupled air coil pickup antennae above the rails.

         Description:
         This Ground-Train radio follows the technical regulations described in UIC code 751-3, 3rd edition, 1.7.84. It is a minimum subset necessary for international railway traffic.
         The UIC radio is an analogue radio, which consists of lineside and mobile (trainborne) equipment.
         Radio systems following this basic subset allow for simplex and duplex voice communication and use of operating signals (tones), but not for selective calls and for data transmission:

         UIC Radio Chapter 1- 4 + 6 + 7
         Description:
         This Ground-Train radio follows the technical regulations described in UIC code 751-3, 3rd edition, 01.07.84. Chapter 7 edition of 01.01.88.
         The UIC radio is an analogue radio, which consists of lineside and mobile (trainborne) equipment.
         Radio systems following this basic subset allow for simplex and duplex voice communication and use of operating signals (tones), and for selective calls and for data transmission. The data transmission capabilities are extended. This feature is not considered mandatory in the UIC leaflet. If it cannot be assured by bilateral or multilateral agreement, it should be used on a national basis only.

         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:

               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.
         BR 1845 Issues G and H (lineside) BR 1661 Issue A (trainborne) Commonly called Cab Secure Radio
         Description:
         This Ground-Train radio follows the technical regulations described in Railtrack Specifications (BR Specification 1845 Issues G and H and in BR 1661 Issue A).
         The Cab Secure radio is an analogue radio, which consists of lineside and mobile (trainborne) equipment.
         Radio systems following this basic subset allow for duplex voice communication and use of operating signals (tones), and for selective calls and for data transmission.

         BR 1609 Issue 2 (Commonly called National Radio Network (NRN))
         Description:
         This Ground-Train radio follows the technical regulations described in Railtrack Specification BR 1609, Issue 2, August 1987.
         The National Radio Network is an analogue radio which consists of lineside and mobile (trainborne) equipment.
         Radio systems following this basic subset allow for duplex voice communication (lineside), simplex voice communication (trainborne), broadcast mode and use of operating signals (tones), for selective calls and for data transmission.

         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.

         UIC Radio Chapter 1-4 (TTT radio system installed at Cascais line)
         Description:
         This Ground-Train radio follows the technical regulations described in UIC code 751-3, 3rd edition, 01.07.84. It is a minimum subset necessary for international railway traffic.
         The UIC radio is an analogue radio, which consists of lineside and mobile (trainborne) equipment.
         Radio systems following this basic subset allow for simplex and half-duplex voice communication and use of operating signals (tones), but not for selective calls and for data transmission:

         VR Train Radio
         Commonly called ‘Linjaradio’ (Finnish meaning Line Radio).
         Description:
         This Ground-train radio is a tailored VHF radio system and follows the technical regulations in Finnish Railways.
         The Line radio network is an analogue radio which consists of lineside and mobile (trainborne) equipment.
         Radio systems following this basic subset allow for duplex voice communication (between lineside and train), semi-duplex voice communication (between drivers), and driver calls to controller by selective call tones.

         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.

               Besides the TRS, there is used an intra-station radio-communication system, which includes shunting, maintenance-technological and special communication for emergency conditions. This system is designed based on zone principle and works in the ranges of 150 and 450 MHz in bands about 5 — 10 MHz.
         Responsible Member State: Latvia.

         Description:
         This Ground-Train radio follows the technical regulations described in UIC code 751-3, 3rd edition, 01.07.84. It is a minimum subset necessary for international railway traffic.
         The UIC radio is an analogue radio, which consists of line-side and mobile (train-borne) equipment.
         Radio systems following this basic subset allow for simplex and duplex voice communication and use of operating signals (tones), and for selective calls and for data transmission.

         Estonian Railways Train Communication Network
         Estonian Railways Train Communication Network has been equipped according to the Ministry of Transport and Communication of Estonia Declaration nr. 39 from 09.07.1999‘Technical regulations for railway operation’.
         Railways train radio communication network consists of two subsystems, namely track-to-train radio communication system and area (or regional) radio communication systems.
         Track-to-train radio communication system provide voice communication with all types of trains and locomotives on main and branch lines within the country.
         Area radio communication systems provide full radio coverage within operational area of railway stations for station operators and locomotive drivers.
         With the integrated train radio communication network are covered all the lines and railway station around the country.
         The main system for track-to-train radio communications Estonian Railways operate with SmarTrunk II decentralised (scan based) digital trunking radio communication system. This modular system contains components like dispatcher's centre equipment, site repeaters, station operator radio terminals, mobile radios on trains and portable radios.

               On railway stations in local area communications Motorola GM350 and GM Pro series base radios operate on VHF simplex chanels.
         Motorola GM350 and GM160 radios on the trains can communicate with different radio infrastructures installed within the country, on main lines and in station areas.
         Personnel responsible for safe and efficient railway operations have in use Motorola GP and P series portable radios.
         To control rail traffic for trains coming from neighbour countries Latvia and Russia, Estonian Railways in parallel with the main communication network have still in operation special trans-regional train communication system on simplex channels 2 130 KHz and 2 150 KHz.

         Lithuanian Railways Train radio System
         Description:
         The Train Radio System (TRS) is an analogue simplex voice communication and used for operative train operation. All sections of LG network are equipped with this system.
         The TRS is designed with use of track-side (distributive radio-sets (DRS)), and up to local radio-sets (LRS), connected to each other by a two-wires communication channel) and mobile (on-board radio-sets (BRS)) equipment.
         Six frequencies in the band of 1 000 — 1 700 Hz are used for selective connection of LRS's.

               Shunting Radio Communication System
         Description:
         For shunting in bigger railway stations is used the simplex analogical radio communication system for voice transmission of 150 MHz diapason. Radio stations of this system are used only in local radio networks, which are not interconnected. The system allows the radio communication by open channel between stationary (traffic order operators), mobile (shunting locomotives) and portable (shunting crew) objects.

         Part 3: Transition Matrix between Class A and B systems (signalling)
         
            PURPOSE OF THE MATRIX
         
         This MATRIX is to provide a text concerning the scope of the transitions relevant for interoperability on the European high-speed and conventional rail networks.
         
            INTRODUCTION
         
         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, in particular, 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.

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

         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:

         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:

               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:

                     The applicant shall present the results of tests (6), including type tests when required, carried out by its appropriate laboratory or on their behalf.
                  
               
                     6.4.
                  
                  
                     The notified body must examine the application and assess the results of the tests. Where the design meets the provisions of the TSI that apply to it, the notified body must issue an EC design examination certificate to the applicant. The certificate shall contain the conclusions of the examination, conditions for its validity, the necessary data for identification of the approved design and, if relevant, a description of the product's functioning. The time period of validity shall be no longer than 5 years.

                     The applicant must keep the notified body that has issued the EC design examination certificate informed of any modification to the approved design. Modifications to the approved design must receive additional approval from the notified body that issued the EC design examination certificate 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 shall be given in the form of an addition to the original EC design examination certificate.
                  
               
                     6.6.
                  
                  
                     If no modifications as in point 6.4. 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 6.3. if no contrary information exists. This procedure can be reiterated.

                     The notified body referenced to in point 5.1. must assess the quality management system to determine whether it satisfies the requirements referenced in point 5.2. 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 takes into consideration the specificity of the interoperability constituent which it is implemented.
                     When an applicant operates a certified quality management system, the notified body shall take this into account in the assessment.
                     The audit shall be specific for the subsystem concerned, taking into consideration the specific contribution of the applicant to the subsystem. The auditing team must have at least one member experienced as an assessor in the subsystem technology concerned.
                     The evaluation procedure shall include an assessment visit to the applicant's premises.
                     The decision must be notified to the applicant. The notification must contain the conclusions of the examination and the reasoned assessment decision.
