(2) the Federal Minister for Economics and labour has that accredited bodies are accredited to carry out the assessment of conformity and suitability for use of interoperability constituents, as well as for the implementation of EC verification procedure for subsystems, the European Commission and the other Member States of the European Union, notifying them of the scope of accreditation and the Commission allocated identification number to tell them.
section 110. The basic requirements are those conditions which must comply with the conventional trans-European rail system, the subsystems, and the interoperability constituents including interfaces and are listed in annex III to Directive 2001/16/EC on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system.
section 111. The Federal Minister for transport, innovation and technology has the Panel responsible for drafting the TSIs (article 2 point h of Directive 2001/16/EC on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system) to provide all the data that are required to allow the taking into account of all foreseeable costs and the benefits of all tested technical solutions, as well as the interface between them with the aim of this body for the preparation, adoption or revision of each TSI , to determine the most advantageous solutions. The railway companies have such to make data available to the Federal Ministry of transport, innovation and technology.
§ 112. interoperability constituents are component group of components, subassembly or complete material assemblies, which are incorporated or intended to be incorporated into a subsystem, and upon which the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system depends directly or indirectly. Among components are material to understand but also intangible products like software.
§ 113. (1) it only such interoperability constituents in the domestic traffic are allowed, that enable the achievement of the interoperability of the conventional trans-European rail system and meeting the essential requirements. This does not apply for interoperability constituents, the allure or for others as used in § 104 Z 1-led compatible. Not the leaving of interoperability constituents for the purpose of storage, for scrapping, their conformity or use suitability test is considered in marketing.
(2) affects an Interoperabiltätskomponente, for which an EC declaration (§ 115) is available, has been put on the market and which will be used as intended, compliance with the essential requirements, the Federal Minister for transport, innovation and technology regulation has a prohibition of the placing of and issue of the free movement of goods with components of the same type.
(3) the Federal Minister for transport, innovation and technology has the issuing of a regulation pursuant to par. 2 of the European Commission stating that underlying reasons to inform the issuing of such regulation, and in particular to lead is that the interoperability constituent concerned is therefore not compliant, because
1. the basic requirements are not met, 2. the European specifications that are used (§ 20 Z 16 BVergG) are not correctly applied, or 3 the European specifications are incomplete.
(4) the regulation is by the Federal Minister of transport, to increase innovation and technology if the European Commission shares with the Republic of Austria, that they the prohibition of the placing of and of the free movement of goods with this interoperability constituent considers unfounded.
(5) monitoring the compliance with the provisions concerning the placing of the free movement of interoperability constituents according to paragraphs 1 and 2 is whether the district administrative authority. The bodies of the district administrative authority empowered in this monitoring exercise, business and premises as well as the business and operating land, or in or on which manufactured interoperability constituents, for the purposes of the marketing store are shown to enter to the operating and business hours, visit the interoperability constituents and check.
The conformity of an interoperability constituent with the essential requirements relating to them and, where appropriate, its suitability for use are 114. (1) on the basis of the provisions of the TSI, including the European specifications (section 20 Z 16 BVergG), to determine if such exist.
(2) a TSI not applicable is explained or no European specifications are available before issuing a TSI,
1 the conformity of an interoperability constituent with the essential requirements relating to them on the basis of common standards (section 20 Z 21 BVergG) and technical specifications (section 20 Z 30 BVergG) to determine and has a directory of these common standards 2. the Federal Minister for transport, innovation and technology to the other Member States of the European Union and the European Commission (§ 20 Z 21 BVergG) and technical specifications (section 20 Z 30 BVergG) to present.
(3) the Federal Minister for transport, innovation and technology has the sites to publish No. 2 on the Internet for the assessment of conformity of an interoperability constituent with pulling up the essential requirements concerning them Austrian standards, that European standards are implemented, and a directory of common standards and technical specifications referred to in paragraph 2.
Section 115 (1) for an interoperability constituent is to make a declaration by the manufacturer or his authorised representative established in the community which has to comply with the annex IV of to Directive 2001/16/EC on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system. You are the interoperability constituent TSI provisions, including the European specifications, where such exist, to apply; No relevant TSI exists, or such not applicable is stated, and also no European specification exists, the common standards and technical specifications are to be applied.
(2) the conformity or suitability for use of an interoperability constituent is to evaluate which asked the manufacturer, or his authorised representative established in the community by the notified body.
(3) an interoperability constituent has still other requirements which are adopted federal laws normalized in others in implementation of Community directives, to meet these other requirements must be from the Declaration of apparent.
(4) the manufacturer or his authorised representative established in the community contrary to paragraph 1 issued no declaration, contracted contrary to para 2 no notified body with the assessment of conformity or suitability for use or the EC declaration is not the paragraph 3, para 1 to 3 on those commitments the over, which brings the interoperability constituent on the market.
(5) the existence of a declaration for an interoperability constituent the presumption rebuttable, that it complies with the essential requirements concerning them.
Incorrect Declaration of
§ 116. proves an interoperability constituent, for which an EC declaration is available, non-compliant, has the Federal Minister of transport, to explain the relevant declaration invalid innovation and technology decision. The Federal Minister for transport, innovation and technology has to inform the European Commission and the other Member States of the European Union, stating the reasons this measure.
§ 117. Systems of part of is the Division of the trans-European conventional rail system into structural or functional subsystems referred to in annex II of to Directive 2001/16/EC on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system.
118. (1) the subsystems must comply with the essential requirements. Unless there is a relevant applicable TSI, a part of interoperability in terms of compliance with the essential requirements based on these should be noted.
Non-application of the TSI
Section 119 (1) in the following cases the Federal Minister for transport, innovation and technology to explain decision not applicable certain TSIs, including those for resources:
1. in projects to build new or retrofitting existing main or branch lines, which are in an advanced stage of development at the time of publication of the relevant TSIs or the subject of a contract in the implementation are;
2. in the main projects for the renewal or upgrading of existing or branch lines, if the TSI values for the gauge, the gauge, the track gauge or voltage, which are incompatible with the corresponding values of the existing main or branch lines;
3. in the case of schemes for the renewal, extension or upgrading an existing main or branch line, whereby the application of the relevant TSIs would compromise the economic viability of the project or the coherence with other railways would be affected
4. when undertaking rapid recovery through accident or a natural disaster destroyed or damaged main or branch line, if the conditions of hiefür economically or technically allow a partial or full application of the TSI one;
5. when driving resources with origin from States which are not members of the European Union, or with such driving resources, which are used in such States, and have a track gauge, impossible the use on main or branch lines.
(2) in all the cases mentioned in paragraph 1, the Federal Minister for transport, innovation and technology in the investigation has to the European Commission of the proposed exception to teach and their a base transmit in the TSIs or parts thereof, which shall not be applied, as well as the corresponding applicable specifications are listed. To in paragraph 1 Z 2, 3, and 5 listed cases is to await the decision of the European Commission before issue of notice.
Section 120 (1) for a subsystem, for which a TSI and to apply that is, is an EC declaration of verification, which has to comply with annex V of the Directive 2001/16/EC on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system, to exhibit by the adjudicating entity or his authorised representative. They have carried out the EC examination with a notified body of their choice. The task of the notified body responsible for the EC verification has over the entire period from planning and construction to the acceptance before operation of the subsystem to extend. The order has also the verification of the interfaces of the subsystem with the system, the part of which it forms, to include; insofar as such information exist, has this exam on basis to be carried out in the respective TSI, except such a declared inapplicable, and the infrastructure and driving resources register information available.
(2) the notified body has to create all technical documentation, which must be accompanied by an EC declaration of verification. The technical documentation must contain:
1. all necessary documents with regard to the characteristics of the subsystem;
2. If necessary, all certificates of conformity of the interoperability constituents;
3. information on usage conditions and restrictions, maintenance, continuous or periodic monitoring, operation and maintenance.
(3) the existence of an EC declaration of verification established the rebuttable presumption that the structural subsystem meets the basic requirements.
(4) an operating permit for a subsystem, for which a TSI and to apply that is, is in addition to other approval requirements only under the condition to grant that a corresponding EC declaration of verification for this subsystem of the Authority presented this federal law.
§ 121. EC verification is annex VI of to Directive 2001/16/EC on the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system to apply.
Registers of infrastructure and driving resources
§ 122. railway infrastructure companies and railway companies have for their main lines falling under the first and second showpiece, a register of infrastructure and a register of driving resources to create branch lines and resources. In these registers from the main characteristics and their compliance with the characteristics prescribed by the applicable TSIs are for each part of the systems or parts to represent. The register have also to contain the information, depicting in the TSI are prescribed for this purpose.
section 123. The infrastructure register and riding equipment are to publish by the railway infrastructure companies and railway companies on the Internet and update it every year. The Federal Ministry of transport, innovation and technology free of charge two copies of this register, as well as their annual updates shall be provided.
