After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.
The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.
Version Superseded: 31/12/2020
Point in time view as at 31/01/2020.
There are currently no known outstanding effects for the Commission Decision of 5 June 2009 on the adoption of a common safety method for assessment of achievement of safety targets, as referred to in Article 6 of Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document number C(2009) 4246) (Text with EEA relevance) (2009/460/EC), ANNEX.
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
calculation of the values returned by the corresponding measurement units listed in Appendix 1, by considering the data and provisions referred to in section 1.1;
analysis of the results of the process described in point (a), to check presence and recurrence of zero values for the FWSIs in the observed safety performances for the years concerned;
if the zero values referred to in point (b) are no more than two, the calculation is made of the weighted average of the values referred to in point (a), as described in section 2.3, and the returned value is taken as the NRV;
if the zero values referred to in point (b) are more than two, the Agency shall attribute to the NRV a discretional value to be identified by consulting the Member State concerned.
the value of the NRV which is the highest amongst the Member States;
the value equal to 10 times the European average value of the risk to which the considered NRV refers.
calculation of the annual observations OBSi (where i is the considered year of observation) returned by the corresponding measurement units listed in Appendix 1, after providing as input the data for the most recent reported n years as referred to in point 2.1.1(a) [initially n = 4; from 2011 onwards n = 6];
calculation of the arithmetic n-year average (AV) of annual observations OBSi ;
calculation of the absolute value of the difference ABSDIFFi between each annual observation OBSi and the AV. If ABSDIFFi < 0,01 * AV, to ABSDIFFi is attributed a constant value equal to 0,01 * AV;
calculation of the weight (Wi ) for each single year i, by taking the inverse of ABSDIFFi ;
for each Member State and for each of the risk categories whose respective NRV is equal to or lower than the corresponding CST, the achievement of the NRV will also automatically imply the achievement of the CST. The assessment of achievement of the NRV shall be carried out according to the procedure described in section 3.2 and the NRV shall represent the maximum tolerable level of the risk to which it refers, without prejudice to the provisions on the range of tolerance laid down in point 3.2.3;
for each Member State and for each of the risk categories whose respective NRV is higher than the corresponding CST, the CST shall represent the maximum tolerable level of the risk to which it refers. The assessment of achievement of the CST shall be carried out in compliance with the requirements deriving from the impact assessment and, where applicable, the timetable for gradual implementation of the CST, according to Article 7(3) of Directive 2004/49/EC.
acceptable safety performance;
possible deterioration of safety performance;
probable deterioration of safety performance.
safety performance observed in the single most recent reported year;
moving weighted average (MWA), as specified in section 3.3.
The values returned by applying points (a) and (b) shall then be compared with the NRV, and if one of these values does not exceed the NRV the safety performance shall be considered acceptable. If this is not the case, the procedure shall continue with the second assessment step.
If this single accident is more severe, in terms of consequences, than the most severe single accident included in the data used for setting the NRV, it shall be excluded from the statistics. The MWA is then recalculated to check whether it lies within the abovementioned range of tolerance. If this is the case, the safety performance shall be considered acceptable. If this is not the case, the procedure shall continue with the third assessment step.
If the number of significant accidents per train-km does not exceed the abovementioned tolerance bound, it is assumed that there has not been a statistically significant increase, and the outcome of this assessment step shall be classified as ‘passed’.
Depending on the risk category to which the different NRVs under assessment of achievement refer, the significant accidents to be considered for carrying out this assessment step are as follows:
risks to passengers: all relevant significant accidents;
risks to staff or employees, including the staff of contractors: all relevant significant accidents;
risks to level crossing users: all relevant significant accidents included in the category ‘accidents involving level crossings’;
risks to unauthorised persons on railway premises: all relevant significant accidents included in the category ‘accidents to persons caused by rolling stock in motion’;
risks to others: all relevant significant accidents;
risk to society as a whole: all significant accidents.
calculation of the annual observations OBS i returned by the corresponding indicators listed in Appendix 1, after providing as input the data available from the sources referred to in section 1.1 for the relevant years (the index i takes the values as defined in the formula below);
calculation of the arithmetic n-year average (AV) of annual observations OBSi [initially n = 4; from 2012 onwards n = 5];
calculation of the absolute value of the difference ABSDIFF i between each annual observation OBSi and the AV. If ABSDIFFi < 0,01 * AV, to ABSDIFFi is attributed a constant value equal to 0,01 * AV;
calculation of the weight Wi , by taking the inverse of ABSDIFFi ;

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
