2.1. Scope

This TSI is applicable to “freight wagons including vehicles designed to carry lorries” as referred to in Annex I Section 2 to Directive (EU) 2016/797 taking into account the limitations as set out in Article 2. In the following this part of the subsystem rolling stock is called “freight wagon” and belongs to the subsystem “rolling stock” as set out in Annex II to Directive 2016/797/EC.

The other vehicles listed in Section 2 of Annex I to Directive (EU) 2016/797 are excluded from the scope of this TSI; this is especially the case for:

(a)

mobile railway infrastructure construction and maintenance equipment;

(b)

vehicles designed to carry:

• motor vehicles with their passengers on board, or

• motor vehicles without passengers on board but intended to be integrated in passenger trains (car carriers);

(c)

vehicles which

• increase their length in loaded configuration, and

• their payload itself is part of the vehicle structure.

Note: See also section 7.1 for particular cases.

2.2. Definitions

In the present TSI the following definitions are used:

(a)

A “unit” is the generic term used to name the rolling stock. It is subject to the application of this TSI, and therefore subject to the EC verification procedure.

A unit can consist of:

• a “wagon” that can be operated separately, featuring an individual frame mounted on its own set of wheels, or

• a rake of permanently connected “elements”, those elements cannot be operated separately, or

• “separate rail bogies connected to compatible road vehicle(s)” the combination of which forms a rake of a rail compatible system.

(b)

A “train” is an operational formation consisting of several units.

(c)

The “design operating state” covers all conditions under which the unit is intended to operate and its technical boundaries. This design operating state may go beyond the specifications of this TSI in order that units may be used together in a train on the network under the safety management system of a railway undertaking.’;

7.2.1 Substitution of constituents

This section deals with substitutions of constituents as referred to in Article 2 of Directive (EU) 2016/797.

The following categories have to be considered:

• Certified ICs: Components which correspond to an IC in Chapter 5 and which are holding a certificate of conformity.

• Other components: Any component, which is not corresponding to an IC in Chapter 5.

• Non-certified ICs: Components which correspond to an IC in Chapter 5 but are not holding a certificate of conformity and which are produced before the expiry of the transitional period referred to in Section 6.3.

Table 11 shows the possible permutations.

Table 11

Substitution permutation table

	... substituted by ...
	... certified ICs	... other components	... non-certified ICs
Certified ICs …	Check	not possible	check
Other components …	not possible	check	not possible
Non-certified ICs …	Check	not possible	check

The word “check” in Table 11 means that the entity in charge of maintenance (ECM) may under its responsibility substitute a component by another one utilising the same function and at least the same performance in accordance with the relevant TSI requirements considering that these components are:

• suitable, i.e. conform to the relevant TSI(s),

• used within its area of use,

• enabling interoperability,

• meeting the essential requirements, and

• in line with restrictions stated in the technical file.

7.2.2 Changes to an existing unit or to an existing unit type

7.2.2.1 Introduction

This point 7.2.2 defines the principles to be applied by the entities managing the change and authorising entities in line with the EC verification procedure described in Article 15(9), Article 21(12) and Annex IV of Directive (EU) 2016/797. This procedure is further developed in Article 13, 15 and 16 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545(3) and in Commission Decision 2010/713/EC(4).

This point 7.2.2 applies in case of any change(s) to an existing unit or unit type, including renewal or upgrade. It does not apply in case of changes:

• that do not introduce a deviation from the technical files accompanying the EC declarations for verification for the subsystems, if any, and

• that do not have an impact on basic parameters not covered by the EC declaration, if any.

The holder of the vehicle type authorisation shall provide, under reasonable conditions, the information necessary for assessing the changes to the entity managing the change.

7.2.2.2 Rules to manage changes in both a unit or a unit type

Parts and basic parameters of the unit that are not affected by the change(s) are exempt from conformity assessment against the provisions in this TSI.

Without prejudice to clause 7.2.2.3, compliance with the requirements of this TSI or the TSI Noise (Commission Regulation (EU) No 1304/2014(5), see clause 7.2 of that TSI) shall only be needed for the basic parameters in this TSI which may be affected by the change(s).

In accordance with Articles 15 and 16 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 and Decision 2010/713/EU and by application of modules SB, SD/SF or SH1 for the EC verification, and if relevant in accordance with Article 15(5) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, the entity managing the change shall inform a notified body of all changes affecting the conformity of the subsystem with requirements of the relevant TSI(s) requiring new checks by a notified body. This information shall be provided by the entity managing the change with corresponding references to the technical documentation relating to the existing EC type or design examination certificate.

Without prejudice of the general safety judgement mandated in article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, in case of changes requiring reassessment of the safety requirements set out in clauses 4.2.4.2 for the brake system, a new authorization for placing on the market will be required unless one of the following conditions are met:

• The brake system fulfils the conditions of C.9 and C.14 of Appendix C after change or,

• Both the original and changed brake systems fulfil the safety requirements set out in clause 4.2.4.2.

National migration strategies related to the implementation of other TSIs (e.g. TSIs covering fixed installations) shall be taken into account when defining to what extent the TSIs covering rolling stock needs to be applied.

The basic design characteristics of the rolling stock are defined in Table 11a. Based on these tables and on the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, the changes shall be categorised as follows:

• 15(1)(c) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 if they are above the thresholds set out in column 3 and below thresholds set out in column 4 unless the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 requires to categorise them as 15(1)(d), or

• 15(1)(d) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 if they are above the thresholds set out in column 4 or if the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 requires to categorise them as 15(1)(d).

The determination whether the changes are beyond or above the thresholds mentioned above shall be done in reference to the values of the parameters at the time of the last authorisation of the rolling stock or rolling stock type.

Changes not referred to in the paragraph above are deemed not to have any impact on the basic design characteristics and will be categorised as 15(1)(a) or 15(1)(b) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545, unless the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 requires to categorise them as 15(1)(d).

The safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 shall cover all changes concerning basic parameters of table 1, related to all the essential requirements, in particular the requirements “Safety” and “Technical compatibility”.

Without prejudice to clause 7.2.2.3, all changes shall remain compliant with the applicable TSIs regardless their classification.

The replacement of a whole element within a rake of permanently connected elements after a severe damage does not require a conformity assessment against this TSI, as long as the element is identical to the one it replaces. Such element must be traceable and certified in accordance with any national or international rule, or any code of practice widely acknowledged in the railway domain.

In order to establish the EC type or design examination certificate, the notified body selected by the entity managing the change is permitted to refer to:

• The original EC type or design examination 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 (during 10 years phase B period).

• Additional EC type or design examination certificate (amending the original certificate) for modified parts of the design that affect the conformity of the subsystem with the latest revision of this TSI in force at that time.

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

The updated technical documentation, related to the EC type or design examination certificate is referred to in the technical file accompanying the EC declaration of verification issued by the entity managing the change for rolling stock declared as conformant to the modified type.

7.2.2.3 Particular rules for existing units not covered by an EC declaration of verification with a first authorisation for placing in service before 1 January 2015

The following rules apply, in addition to clause 7.1.2.2, to existing units with a first authorisation for placing in service before 1 January 2015, where the scope of the change has an impact on basic parameters not covered by the EC declaration

The compliance with technical requirements of this TSI is deemed established when a basic parameter is improved in the direction of the TSI defined performance and the entity managing the change demonstrates that the corresponding essential requirements are met and the safety level is maintained and, where reasonably practicable, improved. The entity managing the change shall in this case justify the reasons for which the TSI defined performance was not met, taking into account migration strategies of other TSIs as stated in section 7.2.2.2. This justification shall be in the technical file, if any, or in the original technical documentation of the unit.

The particular rule set out in the above paragraph is not applicable in changes impacting the basic design characteristics and classified as 21(12)a set out in table 11b. For those changes, compliance with the TSI requirements is mandatory.

7.2.3 Rules related to the EC type or design examination certificates

7.2.3.1 Rolling stock subsystem

This point concerns a rolling stock type (unit type in the context of this TSI), as defined in Article 2(26) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, which is subject to an EC type or design verification procedure in accordance with section 6.2 of this TSI. It also applies to the EC type or design verification procedure in accordance with the TSI Noise, which refers to this TSI for its scope of application to freight units.

The TSI assessment basis for an EC type or design examination is defined in columns “Design review” and “Type test” of Appendix F of this TSI and of Appendix C of the TSI Noise.

7.2.3.1.1 Phase A

Phase A starts once a notified body, which is responsible for EC verification, is appointed by the applicant and ends when the EC type or design examination certificate is issued.

The TSI assessment basis for a type is defined for a phase A period, with a duration of maximum four years. During the phase A period the assessment basis for EC verification to be used by the notified body will not change.

When a revision of this TSI or of the TSI Noise comes into force during the phase A period, it is permissible (but not mandatory) to use the revised version(s), either totally or for particular sections, unless explicitly otherwise specified in the revision of these TSIs. In case of application limited to particular sections, the applicant has to justify and document that applicable requirements remain consistent, and this has to be approved by the notified body.

7.2.3.1.2 Phase B

The phase B period defines the period of validity of the EC type or design examination certificate once it is issued by the notified body. During this time, units may be EC certified on the basis of conformity to type.

The EC type or design examination certificate of EC verification for the subsystem is valid for a ten-year phase B period after its issue date, even if a revision of this TSI or of the TSI Noise come into force, unless explicitly otherwise specified in the revision of these TSIs. During this period of validity, new rolling stock of the same type is permitted to be placed on the market on the basis of an EC declaration of verification referring to the type certificate of verification.

The updated technical documentation related to the EC type or design examination certificate is referred to in the technical file accompanying the EC declaration of verification issued by the applicant for rolling stock declared as conformant to the modified type.

7.2.3.2 Interoperability constituents

This point concerns interoperability constituents which are subject to EC type examination (module CB), design examination (module CH1) or to suitability for use (module CV) in accordance with section 6.1 of this TSI.

The EC type or design examination or suitability for use certificate is valid for a ten-year period. During this time, new constituents of the same type are permitted to be placed on the market without a new type assessment, unless explicitly otherwise specified in the revision of this TSI. Before the end of the ten-year period, the constituent shall be assessed according to the latest revision of this TSI in force at that time, for those requirements that have changed or are new in comparison to the certification basis.’;

section 7.3.1 is replaced by the following:

‘7.3.1. Upgrading or renewal of a line

(1) In accordance with Article 2(14) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, “upgrading” means any major modification work on a subsystem or part of it which results in a change in the technical file accompanying the “EC” declaration of verification, if that technical file exists, and which improves the overall performance of the subsystem.

(2) The infrastructure subsystem of a line is considered to be upgraded in the context of this TSI when at least the performance parameters axle load or gauge, as defined in point 4.2.1 are improved in order to meet the requirements of another traffic code.

(3) In accordance with Article 2(15) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, “renewal” means any major substitution work on a subsystem or part of it which does not change the overall performance of the subsystem.

(4) For this purpose, major substitution should be interpreted as a project undertaken to systematically replace elements of a line or a section of a line. Renewal differs from a substitution in the framework of maintenance, referred to in point 7.3.3 below, since it gives the opportunity to achieve a TSI compliant line. A renewal is the same case as upgrading, but without a change in performance parameters.

(5) The scope of the upgrading or renewal of the infrastructure subsystem may cover the entire subsystem on a given line or only certain parts of the subsystem. According to Article 18(6) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, the national safety authority shall examine the project and decide whether a new authorisation for placing in service is needed.

(6) Where a new authorisation is required, parts of the infrastructure subsystem falling under the scope of the upgrading or renewal shall comply with this TSI and shall be subject to the procedure established in Article 15 of Directive (EU) 2016/797, unless a permission for non-application of TSI is granted according to Article 7 of Directive (EU) 2016/797.

(7) Where a new authorisation for placing in service is not required, compliance with this TSI is recommended. Where compliance is not possible, the contracting entity shall inform the Member State of the reasons thereof.’;

‘2.2.2. Rolling stock

Definitions below are classified in three groups as defined in the section 2 of Annex I to Directive (EU) 2016/797:

(A)

Locomotives and passenger rolling stock, including thermal or electric traction units, self-propelling thermal or electric passenger trains, and passenger coaches:

(1) Thermal or electric traction units

A Locomotive is a traction vehicle (or combination of several vehicles) that is not intended to carry a payload and has the ability to be uncoupled in normal operation from a train and to operate independently.

A Shunter is a traction unit designed for use only on shunting yards, stations and depots.

Traction in a train can also be provided by a powered vehicle with or without driving cab, which is not intended to be uncoupled during normal operation. Such a vehicle is called a Power Unit (or power car) in general or a Power Head when located at one end of the trainset and fitted with a driving cab.

(2) Self-propelling thermal or electric passenger trains

A Trainset is a fixed formation that can operate as a train; it is by definition not intended to be reconfigured, except within a workshop environment. It is composed of only motored or of motored and non-motored vehicles.

An Electric and/or Diesel Multiple Unit is a trainset in which all vehicles are capable of carrying a payload (passengers or luggage/mail or freight).

A Railcar is a vehicle that can operate autonomously and is capable of carrying a payload (passengers or luggage/mail or freight).

A tram – train is a vehicle designed for combined use on both a light-rail infrastructure and a heavy-rail infrastructure;

(3) Passenger coaches and other related cars

A Coach is a vehicle without traction in a fixed or variable formation capable of carrying passengers (by extension, requirements specified to apply to coaches in this TSI are deemed to apply also to restaurant cars, sleeping cars, couchettes cars, etc.).

A Van is a vehicle without traction capable of carrying payload other than passengers, e.g. luggage or mail, intended to be integrated into a fixed or variable formation which is intended to transport passengers.

A Driving Trailer is a vehicle without traction equipped with a driving cab.

A coach may be equipped with a driver's cab; such a coach is then named a Driving Coach.

A van may be fitted with a driver's cab and as such is known as a Driving Van.

A Car carrier is a vehicle without traction capable of carrying passenger motor cars without their passengers and which is intended to be integrated in a passenger train.

A Fixed Rake of Coaches is a formation of several coaches “semi-permanently” coupled together, or which can be reconfigured only when it is out of service.

(B)

Freight wagons, including low-deck vehicles designed for the entire network and vehicles designed to carry lorries

These vehicles are out of the scope of this TSI.. They are covered by Regulation (EU) No 321/2013 (the “freight wagons” TSI).

(C)

Special vehicles, such as on-track machines.

On track Machines (OTMs) are vehicles specially designed for construction and maintenance of the track and infrastructure. OTMs are used in different modes: working mode, transport mode as self-propelling vehicle, transport mode as a hauled vehicle.

Infrastructure inspection vehicles are utilised to monitor the condition of the infrastructure. They are operated in the same way as freight or passenger trains, with no distinction between transport and working modes.’;

(6)

section 2.3.1 is replaced by the following:

‘2.3.1 Types of rolling stock

The scope of this TSI concerning rolling stock, classified in three groups as defined in the Annex I section 2 of Directive (EU) 2016/797, is detailed as follows:

(A)

Locomotives and passenger rolling stock, including thermal or electric traction units, self-propelling thermal or electric passenger trains, and passenger coaches

(1) Thermal or electric traction units

This type includes traction vehicles that are not capable of carrying a payload, such as thermal or electric locomotives or power units.

The concerned traction vehicles are intended for freight or/and passenger transport.

Exclusion from the scope:

Shunters (as defined in Section 2.2) are not in the scope of this TSI. When they are intended to operate on the Union railway network (movement between shunting yards, stations and depots), article 1.4(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 applies.

(2) Self-propelling thermal or electric passenger trains

This type includes any train in fixed or pre-defined formation, composed of vehicles passenger carrying and/or vehicles not carrying passengers.

Thermal or electric traction equipment is installed in some vehicles of the train, and the train is fitted with a driver's cab.

Exclusion from the scope:

In accordance with Articles 1.3, 1.4(d) and 1.5 of Directive (EU) 2016/797, the following rolling stock is excluded from the scope of the TSI:

• Rolling stock intended to operate on local, urban or suburban networks functionally separate from the rest of the railway system.

• Rolling stock primarily used on light rail infrastructure but equipped with some heavy rail components necessary to enable transit to be effected on a confined and limited section of heavy rail infrastructure for connectivity purposes only.

• Tram – trains.

(3) Passenger coaches and other related cars

Passenger carriages:

This type includes vehicles without traction carrying passengers (coaches, as defined in Section 2.2), and operated in a variable formation with vehicles from the category “thermal or electric traction units” defined above to provide the traction function.

Non-passenger carrying vehicles included in a passenger train:

This type includes vehicles without traction included in passenger trains (e.g. luggage or postal vans, car carriers, vehicles for service...); they are in the scope of this TSI, as vehicles related to transport of passengers.

(B)

Freight wagons, including low-deck vehicles designed for the entire network and vehicles designed to carry lorries

Freight wagons are not in the scope of this TSI; they are covered by the “freight wagons” TSI even when they are included in a passenger train (the train composition is in this case an operational issue).

Vehicles intended to carry road motor vehicles (with persons on-board these road motor vehicles) are not in the scope of this TSI.

(C)

Special vehicles, such as on-track machines

This type of rolling stock is in the scope of the TSI only when:

(1)

It is running on its own rail wheels; and

(2)

It is designed and intended to be detected by a track based train detection system for traffic management; and

(3)

In case of OTMs, it is in transport (running) configuration, self-propelled or hauled.

Exclusion from the scope of this TSI:

In case of OTMs, working configuration is outside the scope of this TSI.’;

(7)

in chapter 3, the references to ‘Annex III to Directive 2008/57/EC’ are replaced by the reference to ‘Annex III to Directive (EU) 2016/797’;

(8)

section 3.1 is replaced as follows:

(1) This clause 7.1.2 defines the principles to be applied by the entities managing the change and authorising entities in line with the EC verification procedure described in Article 15(9), Article 21(12) and Annex IV of Directive (EU) 2016/797. This procedure is further developed in Article 13, 15 and 16 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545(13) and in Decision 2010/713/EU(14).

(2) This clause 7.1.2 applies in case of any change(s) to an existing rolling stock or rolling stock type, including renewal or upgrade. It does not apply in case of changes:

• that do not introduce a deviation from the technical files accompanying the EC declarations for verification for the subsystems, if any, and

• that do not have an impact on basic parameters not covered by the EC declaration, if any.

The holder of the vehicle type authorisation shall provide, under reasonable conditions, the information necessary for assessing the changes to the entity managing the change.

7.1.2.2 Rules to manage changes in both rolling stock and rolling stock type

(1) Parts and basic parameters of the rolling stock that are not affected by the change(s) are exempt from conformity assessment against the provisions in this TSI.

(2) Without prejudice to clause 7.1.2.2a, compliance with the requirements of this TSI, the TSI Noise (Commission Regulation (EC) No 1304/2014, see clause 7.2 of that TSI) and the TSI PRM (Commission Regulation (EU) No 1300/2014(15), see clause 7.2.3 of that TSI) shall only be needed for the basic parameters in this TSI which may be affected by the change(s).

(3) In accordance with Articles 15 and 16 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 and Decision 2010/713/EU and by application of modules SB, SD/SF or SH1 for the EC verification, and if relevant in accordance with Article 15(5) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, the entity managing the change shall inform a notified body of all changes affecting the conformity of the subsystem with requirements of the relevant TSI(s) requiring new checks by a notified body. This information shall be provided by the entity managing the change with corresponding references to the technical documentation relating to the existing EC type or design examination certificate.

(4) Without prejudice of the general safety judgement mandated in article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, in case of changes requiring reassessment of the safety requirements set out in clauses 4.2.3.4.2, 4.2.3.5.3, 4.2.4.2.2, 4.2.5.3.5, 4.2.5.5.8 and 4.2.5.5.9, the procedure set out in clause 6.2.3.5 shall be applied. Table 17 sets out when a new authorisation is required.

Table 17

a The word “Check” means that the applicant will apply Annex I of the CSM on RA in order to demonstrate that the changed vehicle ensures an equal or higher level of safety. This demonstration shall be independently assessed by an assessment body as defined in CSM on RA. If the body concludes that the new safety assessment demonstrates a lower level of safety or the result is unclear, the applicant shall request an authorization for placing on the market.

	Second method of clause 6.2.3.5(3)	Checka	Checka	Checka
	No CSM on RA applied	Not possible	Not possible	Not possible

(4a) Without prejudice of the general safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, in case of changes impacting requirements set out in 4.2.4.9, 4.2.9.3.1 and 4.2.10.3.4 which require a new reliability study, a new authorisation for placing in the market shall be required unless the NoBo concludes that the safety-related requirements covered by the reliability study are improved or maintained. The NoBo will consider in its judgement the revised maintenance and operation documentation, where required.

(5) National migration strategies related to the implementation of other TSIs (e.g. TSIs covering fixed installations) shall be taken into account when defining to what extent the TSIs covering rolling stock needs to be applied.

(6) The basic design characteristics of the rolling stock are defined in Table 17a and Table 17b. Based on these tables and on the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, the changes shall be categorised as follows:

(a)

15(1)(c) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 if they are above the thresholds set out in column 3 and below thresholds set out in column 4 unless the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 requires to categorise them as 15(1)(d), or

(b)

15(1)(d) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 if they are above the thresholds set out in column 4 or if the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 requires to categorise them as 15(1)(d).

The determination whether the changes are beyond or above the thresholds mentioned above shall be done in reference to the values of the parameters at the time of the last authorisation of the rolling stock or rolling stock type,

(7) Changes not covered by point 7.1.2.2(6) above are deemed not to have any impact on the basic design characteristics and may be categorised as 15(1)(a) or 15(1)(b) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545, unless the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 requires to categorise them as 15(1)(d).

(8) The safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12)(b) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 shall cover changes concerning basic parameters of the table of section 3.1, related to all the essential requirements, in particular the requirements “Safety” and “Technical compatibility”.

(9) Without prejudice to clause 7.1.2.2a, all changes shall remain compliant with the applicable TSIs regardless their classification.

(10) The replacement of one or more vehicle(s) within a fixed formation after a severe damage does not require a conformity assessment against this TSI, as long as the unit or the vehicle(s) are unchanged in technical parameters and function to the ones they replace. Such units must be traceable and certified in accordance with any national or international rule, or any code of practice widely acknowledged in the railway domain.

• The test shall always be taken as the simplified method for this type of machines

• when running tests according to the specification referenced in Annex J-1, index 16 are done with wheel profile in new condition, these are valid for a maximum distance of 50 000 km. After 50 000 km it is necessary to:

  • either re-profile the wheels;

  • or calculate the equivalent conicity of the worn profile and check that it does not differ more than 50 % from the value of the test of the specification referenced in Annex J-1, index 16 (with a maximum difference of 0,05);

  • or make a new test according to the specification referenced in Annex J-1, index 16 with worn wheel profile;

Running behaviour can be proven by simulation of the tests described in to the specification referenced in Annex J-1, index 16 (with the exceptions as specified above) when there is a validated model of representative track and operating conditions of the machine.

A model of a machine for simulation of running characteristics shall be validated by comparing the model results against the results of running tests when the same input of track characteristic is used.

A validated model is a simulation model that has been verified by an actual running test that excites the suspension sufficiently and where there is a close correlation between the results of the running test and the predictions from the simulation model over the same test track.’;

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(24) 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.’;

No	Aspect	What to assess	Supporting evidence
1	Use of interoperability constituents	Check whether the interoperability constituents to be integrated into the subsystem are all covered by an “EC” Declaration of conformity and a corresponding certificate. The Subsystem needs to be checked with a SIM card compliant with the requirements of this TSI. Changing the SIM card with another one compliant with the TSI is not a modification of the Subsystem.	Existence and content of documents
		Check conditions and limits of use on the use of Interoperability Constituents against the characteristics of the subsystem and of the environment	Analysis by document check
		For interoperability constituents that have been certified against a version of the CCS TSI, which is different from the version applied for the “EC” Verification of the subsystem and/or against a set of specifications which is different from the set of specifications applied for the “EC” Verification of the subsystem, check that the certificate still ensures subsystem compliance with the requirements of the TSI currently in force.	Impact analysis by document checks
2	Integration of interoperability constituents in the subsystem	Check the correct installation and functioning of the internal interfaces of the subsystem — Basic parameter 4.2.6	Checks according to specifications
		Check that additional functions (not specified in this TSI) do not impact the mandatory ones	Impact analysis
		Check that the values of ETCS IDs are within the allowed range and, if required by this TSI, have unique values – Basic parameter 4.2.9	Check of design specifications
3	Integration with rolling stock	Check the correct installation of equipment — Basic Parameters 4.2.2, 4.2.4, 4.2.14 and conditions for installation of equipment, as specified by the manufacturer	Results of checks (according to specifications referenced in the Basic Parameters and the manufacturer's installation rules)
		Check that the Control-Command and Signalling On-board Subsystem is compatible with the rolling stock environment – Basic parameter 4.2.16	Document check (certificates of interoperability constituents and possible integration methods checked against characteristics of rolling stock)
		Check that parameters (e.g., braking parameters) are correctly configured and that they are within the allowed range	Document check (values of parameters checked against characteristics of rolling stock)
4	Integration with Class B	Check that the external STM is connected to on-board ETCS with TSI-compliant interfaces	Nothing to test: there is a standard interface already tested at interoperability constituent level. Its functioning has already been tested when checking the integration of interoperability constituents in the subsystem
		Check that Class B functions implemented in the on-board ETCS– Basic parameter 4.2.6.1 — create no additional requirements for the Control-Command and Signalling Trackside Subsystem due to transitions	Nothing to test: everything has already been tested at interoperability constituent level
		Check that separate Class B equipment which is not connected to the on-board ETCS– Basic Parameter 4.2.6.1 — creates no additional requirements for Control-Command and Signalling Trackside Subsystem due to transitions	nothing to test: no interfacea
		Check that separate Class B equipment connected on-board ETCS using (partly) non TSI compliant interfaces – basic parameter 4.2.6.1 — creates no additional requirements for the Control-Command and Signalling Trackside Subsystem due to transitions. Also check that ETCS functions are not affected	impact analysis
5	Integration with Control-Command and Signalling Trackside Subsystems	Check that Eurobalise telegrams can be read (scope of this test is limited to checking that the antenna has been appropriately installed. The tests already carried out at Interoperability Constituent level shall not be repeated) – Basic Parameter 4.2.5	Test using a certified Eurobalise: the ability to read correctly the telegram is the supporting evidence.

		Check that the equipment can handle a GSM-R call for voice and data (if applicable) – Basic Parameter 4.2.5	Test with a certified GSM-R network. The ability to set up, maintain and disconnect a connection is the supporting evidence.
6	Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety (RAMS)	Check that the equipment complies with safety requirements — Basic Parameter 4.2.1	Application of procedures specified in the Common Safety Method for Risk Evaluation and Assessment.
		Check that the quantitative reliability target is met — Basic Parameter 4.2.1	Calculations
		Check the compliance with requirements about maintenance – point 4.5.2	Documents check

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.	Reports of test runs.

(d)

a new section 6.3.3.1 is added after table 6.2 as follows:

‘6.3.3.1. ETCS and radio system compatibility checks

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.’;

8. In order to establish the EC certificate, the Notified Body may 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.

• Amendments to the original EC certificate for modified parts of the design that affect the conformity of the subsystem with the applicable TSI version used for the EC verification.

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

10. The updated technical documentation, related to the EC certificate is referred to in the technical file accompanying the EC declaration of verification issued by the entity managing the change for on-board subsystem declared as conformant to the modified type.

11. 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 “Realization identifier” is part of the system identifier and means a figure or a number of figures defined by the individual configuration management of a supplier, which represents a specific configuration (e.g. HW and SW) of a CCS subsystem. The “system identifier”, “functional identifier” and “realization identifier” shall be defined by each supplier.

7.2.1a.2 Conditions for a change in the On-board ETCS functionality that does not impact the basic design characteristics

1. The target functionality(29) remains unchanged or is set to the state already expected during the original certification or authorisation.

2. The interfaces relevant for safety & technical compatibility remain unchanged or are set to the state already expected during the original certification or authorisation.

3. The result of the safety judgement (e.g. safety case according to EN 50126) remains unchanged.

4. No new safety related application conditions (SRAC) or interoperability constraints have been added due to the change.

5. An Assessment Body (CSM RA) as specified in point 3.2.1 has independently assessed the applicant's risk assessment and within it the demonstration that the change does not adversely affect safety. The applicant's demonstration shall include the evidence that the change actually corrects the causes of the initial deviation of the functionality.

6. The change is performed under a quality management system approved by a notified body (e.g. according to modules CH1, SH1, CD, SD). For other modules (e.g. CF, SF) it shall be justified that the verification performed remains valid(30).

7. The individual configuration management defines a “system identifier” (as defined in 7.2.1a.1.11) and the functional part has not been changed after the change.

8. The change shall be part of the configuration management required by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2018/545.

7.2.1b.1 Rules to manage changes in trackside CCS subsystems

In the event of upgrading or renewing the Control-Command and Signalling Subsystems bearing EC certificate of verification the following rules apply:

1.

The changes require new authorisation if they impact basic parameters as defined in table 7.2.

Table 7.2

Trackside basic parameters modifications which requires a new authorisation

Basic Parameter		Modification which requires a new authorisation
4.2.3	Trackside ETCS functionality	Not fulfilling all the conditions in point 7.2.1b.2
4.2.4	Mobile communication functions for railways GSM-R	Not fulfilling all the conditions in point 7.2.1b.3

4.2.4	Mobile communication functions for railways GSM-R	Not fulfilling all the conditions in point 7.2.1b.3
4.2.4.3	Data communication applications for ETCS

2.

The changes are permitted to be dealt with by only re-assessing those modifications that affect the conformity of the subsystem with the applicable TSIs version used for the EC verification. The entity managing the change has to justify and document that applicable requirements remain consistent at subsystem level, and this has to be assessed by a Notified Body.

3.

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 “Realization identifier” is part of the system identifier and means a figure or a number of figures defined by the individual configuration management of a supplier, which represents a specific configuration (e.g. HW and SW) of 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.

8. The change shall be part of the configuration management as defined in 7.2.1b.1.7.

7.2.1b.3 Conditions for a change in the trackside mobile communication functions for railways that if not fulfilled requires a new authorisation for placing in service

1. The target functionality(35) remains unchanged or is set to the state already expected during the original certification or authorisation.

2. The interfaces relevant for technical compatibility remain unchanged or are set to the state already expected during the original certification or authorisation.

3. The change is performed under a quality management system approved by a notified body (e.g. according to modules CH1, SH1, CD, SD). For other modules (e.g. CF, SF, SG) it shall be justified that the verification performed remains valid(36).

4. The change shall be part of the configuration management as defined in 7.2.1b.1.7.

7.2.1b.4 Impact on the technical compatibility between on-board and trackside parts of the CCS subsystems

Infrastructure managers shall ensure that changes to an existing trackside subsystem allow the continuation of the operation of TSI compliant(37) on-board subsystems in operation on the lines concerned by the changes.

This requirement is not applicable when the changes are due to the implementation of a new level application trackside, by requirements defined in 7.2.6 (1) and (3), or of an incompatible application of the set of specifications referred to in Annex A to this TSI if the change is announced at least 3 years in advance unless a shorter period is agreed between the IM and the RU's who run services on these tracks(38).’

‘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.’;

(36)

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.
