Article 5 U.K. Links between supervision and assessment

1. The national safety authority carrying out supervision shall use and, where relevant, share information gathered on the performance of the safety management system during its supervision activities for the purpose of renewing or updating single safety certificates or safety authorisations.

2. In cases where the national safety authority referred to in paragraph 1 is not responsible for issuing the single safety certificate or safety authorisation, it shall coordinate promptly with the Agency acting as safety certification body or the relevant national safety authority, in the case of cross-border infrastructure, on its request, after the receipt of an application for renewal or update.

Based on the outcome of the coordination referred to in the first subparagraph, the national safety authority shall identify and target the information which is relevant to assessing whether the railway undertaking's or infrastructure manager's safety management system is effectively working, including at least:

(a) a description of major non-compliances, which may affect safety performance or create serious safety risks, and any other area of concern identified during supervision activities since the previous assessment;

(b) the status of the action plan (or plans) established by the railway undertaking or infrastructure manager to resolve major non-compliances and any other area of concern referred to in point (a) and relevant actions that have been taken by the national safety authority to supervise resolution of these issues;

(c) an overview of the safety performance of the railway undertaking or infrastructure manager operating in its Member State;

(d) the status of the action plan (or plans) established by the railway undertaking or infrastructure manager to resolve residual concerns from previous assessment.
