3.2.1 Safety

Every Control-Command and Signalling Subsystems project shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the level of risk of an incident occurring within the scope of the Control-Command and Signalling Subsystems, is not higher than the objective for the service.

To ensure that the measures taken to achieve safety do not jeopardise interoperability, the requirements of the basic parameter defined in point 4.2.1 (Control-Command and Signalling reliability, availability and safety characteristics relevant to interoperability) shall be respected.

For the ETCS Class A system the safety objective is apportioned between the Control-Command and Signalling On-board and Trackside Subsystems. The detailed requirements are specified in the basic parameter defined in point 4.2.1 (Control-Command and Signalling reliability, availability and safety characteristics relevant to interoperability). This safety requirement shall be met together with the availability requirements as defined in Point 3.2.2 (Reliability and Availability).

For the ETCS Class A system:

(a)

the changes made by railway undertakings and infrastructure managers shall be managed in compliance with the processes and procedures of their safety management system;

(b)

the changes made by other actors (e.g. manufacturers or other suppliers) shall be managed according to the risk management process set out in Annex I to the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 402/2013(2), as referred to in Article 6(1)(a) of Directive (EU) 2016/798 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3).

Additionally the correct application of the risk management process as set out in Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 402/2013, as well as the appropriateness of the results from this application, shall be independently assessed by a CSM assessment body according to Article 6 of that Regulation. The CSM Assessment Body shall be accredited or recognised according to the requirements in Annex II of Regulation (EU) No 402/2013 in the fields of “Control-command and signalling” and “System safe integration” as listed in item 5 “classification” of ERADIS database entry for Assessment Bodies.

The application of the specifications as referred to in Annex A, Table A 3 is an appropriate means to fully comply to the risk management process as set out in Annex I of the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 402/2013 for design, implementation, production, installation and validation (incl. Safety acceptance) of interoperability constituents and subsystems. When different specifications from the ones referred to in Annex A, Table 3 are applied, at least equivalence shall be demonstrated with the specifications in Annex A, Table 3.

Whenever the specifications as referred to in Annex A, Table A 3 are used as an appropriate means to fully comply to the risk management process as set out in Annex I of the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 402/2013, in order to avoid unnecessary duplication of independent assessment work, the independent safety assessment activities that are required by the specifications referred to in Annex A, Table A 3 shall be carried out by an Assessment Body accredited or recognized as specified in the section above instead of a CENELEC independent safety assessor.;

Section 6.1 is replaced by the following:

6.1. Introduction

6.1.1. General principles

6.1.1.1. Compliance with basic parameters

Fulfilment of the essential requirements set out in Chapter 3 of this TSI shall be ensured through compliance with the basic parameters specified in Chapter 4.

This compliance shall be demonstrated by:

(1)

assessing the conformity of the interoperability constituents specified in Chapter 5 (see point 6.2.1, 6.2.2, 6.2.3, 6.2.4);

(2)

verifying the subsystems (see point 6.3 and point 6.4).

6.1.1.2. Essential requirements fulfilled by National Rules

In certain cases, some of the essential requirements may be met by national rules, because of:

(1)

the use of Class B systems;

(2)

open points in the TSI;

(3)

non-application of TSIs (derogations) under Article 7 of Directive (EU) 2016/797;

(4)

specific cases described in point 7.6.

In such cases, assessment of conformity with those rules shall be carried out under the responsibility of the Member States concerned according to notified procedures. See point 6.4.2.

6.1.1.3. Partial fulfilment of TSI requirements

With regard to checking if essential requirements are fulfilled through compliance with the basic parameters, and without prejudice to the obligations set out in Chapter 7 of this TSI, control-command and signalling interoperability constituents and subsystems that do not implement all functions, performance and interfaces as specified in Chapter 4 (including the specifications referred to in Annex A), can obtain EC certificates of conformity or, respectively, certificates of verification, under the following conditions for issuing and using the certificates:

(1)

The applicant for EC verification of a trackside control-command and signalling subsystem is responsible for deciding which functions, performance and interfaces need to be implemented to meet the objectives for the service and to ensure that no requirements contradicting or exceeding the TSIs are exported to the on-board control-command and signalling subsystems.

(2)

The operation of an on-board control-command and signalling subsystem, that does not implement all functions, performance and interfaces specified in this TSI, may be subject to conditions and limits of use due to compatibility and/or safe integration with trackside control-command and signalling subsystems. Without prejudice to the tasks of a Notified Body described in respective Union legislation and related documents the applicant for EC verification is responsible for ensuring that the technical file provides all the information(7) that an operator needs to identify such conditions and limits of use.

(3)

The authorising entity may refuse for duly justified reasons the authorisation for placing in service or on the market, or place conditions and limits of use on the operation, of control-command and signalling subsystems that do not implement all functions, performance and interfaces specified in this TSI.

If a control-command and signalling interoperability constituent or subsystem does not implement all functions, performance and interfaces specified in this TSI, the provisions of point 6.4.3 shall apply.

6.1.2. Principles for testing ETCS and GSM-R

6.1.2.1. Principle

The principle is that a Control-Command and Signalling On-board Subsystem covered by an “EC” declaration of verification is able to run on every Control-Command and Signalling Trackside Subsystem covered by an “EC” Declaration of verification, under the conditions specified in this TSI, with no additional verifications.

Achievement of this principle is facilitated by:

(1)

rules for the design and installation of the Control-Command and Signalling On-board and the Trackside subsystems;

(2)

test specifications to prove that the Control-Command and Signalling On-board and Trackside Subsystems comply with the requirements of this TSI and are mutually compatible.

6.1.2.2. Operational test scenarios

For the purpose of this TSI, an “operational test scenario” means a sequence of trackside and on-board events related to or influencing the Control-command and Signalling subsystems (e.g. sending/receiving messages, exceeding a speed limit, actions of operators) and the specified timing between them in order to test the intended railway system operation in situations relevant for ETCS and GSM-R (e.g. entry of a train into an equipped area, awakening of a train, overriding a signal at stop).

The operational tests scenarios are based on the engineering rules adopted for the project.

Check of compliance of a real implementation with an operational tests scenario shall be possible gathering information through easily accessible interfaces (preferably the standard interfaces specified in this TSI).

6.1.2.3. Requirements for Operational test scenarios

The set of engineering rules for the trackside parts of ETCS and GSM-R and related operational test scenarios for the Trackside Control-command and Signalling Subsystem shall be sufficient to describe all intended system operations relevant for the Trackside Control-command and Signalling Subsystem in normal and identified degraded situations, and:

(1)

shall be consistent with the specifications referenced in this TSI;

(2)

shall assume that functions, interfaces and performance of the Control-command and Signalling On-board Subsystems interacting with the Trackside Subsystem are compliant with the requirements of this TSI;

(3)

shall be the ones used in the EC Verification of the Trackside Control-command and Signalling Subsystem, to check that the implemented functions, interfaces and performance are able to ensure that the intended system operation in combination with the relevant modes and transitions between levels and modes of the Control-command and Signalling On-board Subsystems are respected.

6.1.2.4. Requirements for ETCS System Compatibility

The Agency shall set up and manage in a technical document the set of checks to demonstrate the technical compatibility of an on-board subsystem with the trackside subsystem.

Infrastructure Managers, with the support of the ETCS suppliers for their network, shall submit to the Agency the definition of the necessary checks (as defined in 4.2.17) on their network by 16 January 2020 at the latest.

Infrastructure Managers shall classify the ETCS lines according to ESC types in RINF.

Infrastructure Managers shall submit to the Agency any changes on the referred checks for their network. The Agency shall update the technical document within 5 working days.

6.1.2.5. Requirements for Radio System Compatibility

The Agency shall set up and manage in a technical document the set of checks to demonstrate the technical compatibility of an on-board subsystem with the trackside subsystem.

Infrastructure Managers, with the support of the GSM-R suppliers for their network, shall submit to the Agency the definition of the necessary checks (as defined in 4.2.17) on their network by 16 January 2020 at the latest.

Infrastructure Managers shall classify their lines according to RSC types for voice and, if applicable, ETCS data in RINF.

Infrastructure Managers shall submit to the Agency any changes on the referred checks for their network. The Agency shall update the technical document within 5 working days.;

Integration with Control-Command and Signalling Trackside Subsystems and other subsystems:

tests under conditions representing the intended operation.

Test the behaviour of the subsystem under as many different conditions as reasonably possible representing the intended operation (e.g line gradient, train speed, vibrations, traction power, weather conditions, design of Control-Command and Signalling trackside functionality). The test must be able to verify:

1.

that odometry functions are correctly performed — basic parameter 4.2.2

2.

that the on-board Control-Command and Signalling Subsystem is compatible with the rolling stock environment – basic parameter 4.2.16

These tests must also be such as to increase confidence that there will be no systematic failures.

The scope of these tests excludes tests already carried out at different stages: tests performed on the interoperability constituents and tests performed on the subsystem in a simulated environment shall be taken into account.

Tests under environmental conditions are not necessary for on-board GSM-R voice equipment.

Note: Indicate in the certificate which conditions have been tested and which standards have been applied.

Particular attention shall be given to assessing the conformity of the on-board CCS subsystem regarding the Basic Parameter ETCS and radio system compatibility referred to in 4.2.17.

Regardless of the module selected for the previous EC verification procedure for the on-board subsystem, the Notified Body shall check:

(a)

the availability of the result of the technical compatibility checks for the selected area of use of the vehicle.

(b)

That the technical compatibility checks have been performed in accordance with the technical document published by the Agency, referred in points 6.1.2.4 and 6.1.2.5.

(c)

Based on the report of the checks, that the technical compatibility checks results indicate all the incompatibilities and errors encountered during the technical compatibility checks.

The Notified Body shall not check again any aspect covered during the already performed EC Verification procedure for the on-board subsystem.

The Notified Body performing these checks may be a different one from the Notified Body performing the EC Verification procedure for the on-board subsystem.

Performing these checks also at the level of Interoperability Constituent may reduce the amount of checks at the level of Control-command and Signalling Subsystem.;

Test the behaviour of the subsystem under many different conditions as reasonably feasible representing the intended operation (e.g. train speed, number of trains on the line, weather conditions). The test must be able to verify:

1.

the performance of train detection systems — Basic parameters 4.2.10, 4.2.11,

2.

that the Control-Command and Signalling Trackside subsystem is compatible with trackside environment – Basic parameter 4.2.16

These tests will also increase confidence in the absence of systematic failures.

The scope of these tests excludes tests already done in different steps: tests performed at the level of interoperability constituents and tests performed on the subsystem in a simulated environment shall be taken into account.

Note: Indicate in the certificate which conditions have been tested and which standards have been applied.

Reports of test runs.

6.4.1. Assessment of parts of control-command and signalling subsystems

Pursuant to Article 15(7) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, the Notified Body may issue certificates of verification for certain parts of a subsystem, if allowed to do so under the relevant TSI.

As pointed out in point 2.2 (Scope) of this TSI, the trackside and on-board control-command and signalling subsystems contain parts, as specified in point 4.1 (Introduction).

A certificate of verification may be issued for each part or for a combination of parts specified in this TSI; the Notified Body only checks if that particular part fulfils the TSI requirements.

Regardless of which module is chosen, the Notified Body shall check that:

(1)

the TSI requirements for the part in question have been fulfilled; and

(2)

the fulfilment of the TSI requirements already assessed for other parts of the same subsystem has not been modified.;

(b)

in section 6.4.2, the text ‘certificate’ is replaced by the text ‘EC certificate’;

(d)

Section 6.4.4 is replaced by the following:

6.4.4. Intermediate Statement of Verification

If conformity is assessed for parts of subsystems specified by the applicant and different from the parts allowed in Table 4.1 of this TSI, or if only certain stages of the verification procedure have been performed, only an intermediate statement of verification may be issued.;

(34)

Section 6.5 is replaced by the following:

6.5. Management of errors

Where deviations from intended functions and/or performance are detected during the tests or during the operational life of a subsystem, the applicants and/or operators shall inform without delay the Agency and the authorising entity that issued the authorisations for the concerned trackside subsystems or vehicles, to initiate the procedures set out in Article 16 of Directive (EU) 2016/797. As a result of the application of Article 16(3) of that Directive:

(1)

if the deviation is due to incorrect application of this TSI or to errors in design or installation of equipment, the applicant for the relevant certificates shall take the necessary corrective actions and the certificates affected and/or the corresponding technical files (for interoperability constituents and/or subsystems), together with the corresponding EC Declarations, shall be updated;

(2)

if the deviation is due to errors in this TSI or in specifications referenced therein, the procedure set out in Article 6 of the Directive (EU) 2016/797 shall be initiated.

The Agency shall organise an efficient processing of all the information received in order to facilitate the Change Control Management process for improvement/further development of the specifications, including the test specifications.;

In order to establish the EC certificate, the Notified Body may to refer to:

  • The original EC certificate for parts of the design that are unchanged or those that are changed but do not affect the conformity of the subsystem, as far as it is still valid.

  • Additional EC certificate (amending the original certificate) for modified parts of the design that affect the conformity of the subsystem with the applicable TSI version used for the EC verification.

5.

In any case, the entity managing the change shall ensure that the technical documentation which is relating to the EC certificate is updated accordingly.

6.

The “system identifier” is as a numbering scheme to identify the system version of a CCS subsystem and distinguish between a functional and a realization identifier. The “functional identifier” is part of the system identifier and means a figure or a number of figures defined by the individual configuration management, which represents a reference of the basic design characteristics for CCS implemented in a CCS subsystem.

The “system identifier”, “functional identifier” and “realization identifier” shall be defined by each supplier.

7.

“Configuration management” means a systematic organisational, technical and administrative process to ensure that the consistency of the documentation and the traceability of the changes are established and maintained so that:

(a)

requirements from relevant Union law and national rules are met;

(b)

changes are controlled and documented either in the technical files or in the file accompanying the issued authorisation;

(c)

information and data is kept current and accurate;

(d)

relevant parties are informed of changes, as required.

7.2.6. Conditions for mandatory and optional functions

The applicant for EC verification of a Control-command and Signalling Trackside subsystem shall check whether Control-command and Signalling Trackside functions, which are defined “optional” in this TSI, are required by other TSIs or national rules or by the application of risk evaluation and assessment to ensure safe integration of subsystems.

The trackside implementation of national or optional functions shall not prevent the use of that infrastructure by a train that complies only with the mandatory requirements of the On-board Class A system except as required for the following on-board optional functions:

(1)

An ETCS Level 3 Trackside application requires that the on-board is able to confirm the train integrity;

(2)

An ETCS Level 1 Trackside application with infill requires that the on-board is equipped with the corresponding in-fill data transmission (Euroloop or radio) if the release speed is set to zero for safety reasons (e.g. protection of danger points).

(3)

When ETCS needs data transmission by radio, the data radio communication part as specified in this TSI is required.

An on-board subsystem, which incorporates a KER STM, may make it necessary to implement the K-interface.;

Specifications

One of the three tables in Table A 2 (Table A 2.1, Table A 2.2, Table A 2.3) of this Annex shall be applied for the trackside subsystem. For the on-board subsystem either Table A 2.2 or Table A 2.3 shall be applied, after the transition period defined in 7.4.2.3.

When a document listed in Table A 2 incorporates, by copying or by reference to, a clearly identified point of another document, this point, and only this, shall be considered a part of the document listed in Table A 2.

For the purposes of this TSI, when a document listed in Table A 2 makes a “mandatory” or “normative” reference to a document not listed in Table A 2, the referenced document shall always be understood as an acceptable means of compliance with basic parameters (that can be used for certification of Interoperability Constituents and Subsystems and not requiring future revisions of the TSI) and not as a mandatory specification.

Note: specifications indicated as “Reserved” in Table A 2 are also listed as open points in Annex G when there is a need for notification of national rules to close the corresponding open points. Reserved documents not listed as open points are intended as improvements to the system.
