Where it resorts to outsourcing, the entity in charge of maintenance must ensure that the principles set out in Part 2 are applied.4Regardless of the outsourcing arrangements in place, the entity in charge of maintenance is responsible for the outcome of the maintenance activities it manages and must establish a system to monitor performance of those activities.<Addition ChangeId="key-59c72af0240a50edbd3d10e5343f3412-1643191339527" CommentaryRef="key-59c72af0240a50edbd3d10e5343f3412">Relationships between parties in the maintenance process</Addition>51Each railway undertaking or infrastructure manager must ensure that the freight wagons it operates, before their departure, have a certified entity in charge of maintenance and that the use of the wagon corresponds to the scope of the certificate.2All parties involved in the maintenance process must exchange relevant information about maintenance in accordance with the criteria listed in paragraphs 27 and 28.3Following contractual arrangements, a railway undertaking may request information for operational purposes on the maintenance of a freight wagon. The entity in charge of the maintenance of the freight wagon must respond to such requests either directly or through other contracting parties.4Following contractual arrangements, an entity in charge of maintenance may request information on the operation of a freight wagon. The railway undertaking or the infrastructure manager must respond to such requests either directly or through other contracting parties.5All contracting parties must exchange information on safety-related malfunctions, accidents, incidents, near-misses and other dangerous occurrences as well as on any possible restriction on the use of freight wagons.6The certificates of entities in charge of maintenance are to be accepted as proof of the ability of a railway undertaking or infrastructure manager to meet the requirements governing maintenance and the control of contractors and suppliers specified in Part 3, points in B.1, B.2, B.3 and C.1 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1158/2010 of 9th December 2010 on a common safety method for assessing conformity with the requirements for obtaining railway safety certificates as it has effect in Great Britain, and in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1169/2010 of 10th December 2010 on a common safety method for assessing conformity with the requirements for obtaining a railway safety authorisation as it has effect in Great Britain, unless the national safety authority can demonstrate the existence of a substantial safety risk.7If a contracting party, in particular a railway undertaking, has a justifiable reason to believe that a particular entity in charge of maintenance does not comply with the requirements of regulation 18A, or with paragraph 55B of the Schedule to the Channel Tunnel (Safety) (Amendment) Order 2013, or with the certification requirements of this Schedule, it must promptly inform the certification body thereof. The certification body must take appropriate action to check if the claim of non-compliance is justified and must inform the parties involved, including the competent national safety authority if relevant, of the results of its investigation.8When there is a change of entity in charge of maintenance, the registration holder must inform in due time the registration entity, as defined in the Interoperability Regulations, so that the latter may update the National Vehicle Register.9The former entity in charge of maintenance must deliver the maintenance documentation to either the registration holder or the new entity in charge of maintenance.10The former entity in charge of maintenance is relieved of its responsibilities when it is removed from the National Vehicle Register. If on the date of de-registration of the former entity in charge of maintenance any new entity has not acknowledged its acceptance of entity in charge of maintenance status, the registration of the vehicle is suspended.<Addition ChangeId="key-59c72af0240a50edbd3d10e5343f3412-1643191339527" CommentaryRef="key-59c72af0240a50edbd3d10e5343f3412">Certification bodies</Addition>61UK-issued ECM certificates may be awarded by any competent certification body, chosen by the applicant entity in charge of maintenance.2Certification bodies must comply with the general criteria and principles set out in Part 3 and with any relevant sectoral accreditation schemes.3Decisions taken by the certification bodies are subject to judicial review.4In order to harmonise approaches to the assessment of applications, certification bodies within the United Kingdom must cooperate with each other.<Addition ChangeId="key-59c72af0240a50edbd3d10e5343f3412-1643191339527" CommentaryRef="key-59c72af0240a50edbd3d10e5343f3412">System of certification for entities in charge of maintenance</Addition>71Certification must be based on an assessment of the ability of the entity in charge of maintenance to meet the relevant requirements in Part 4 and to apply them consistently.

They must promptly submit all supplementary information requested by the certification body. In assessing applications, certification bodies must apply the requirements and assessment criteria set out in Part 4.3The certification body must take a decision no later than 4 months after all the information required and any supplementary information requested has been submitted to it by the entity in charge of maintenance applying for the certificate. The certification body must undertake the necessary assessment at the site or sites of the entity in charge of maintenance prior to the award of the certificate. The decision on the award of the certificate must be communicated to the entity in charge of maintenance using the relevant form in Part 4 of Schedule 9.4A UK-issued ECM certificate is valid for a period up to 5 years. The holder of the certificate must without delay inform the certification body of all significant changes in the circumstances applying at the time the original certificate was awarded to allow the certification body to decide whether to amend, renew or revoke it.5The certification body must set out in detail the reasons on which each of its decisions is based. The certification body must notify its decision and the reasons to the entity in charge of maintenance, together with an indication of the process, time limit for appeal and the contact details of the appeal body.6The certification body must conduct surveillance at least once a year at selected sites, geographically and functionally representative of all the activities of those entities in charge of maintenance it has certified, to verify that the entities still satisfy the criteria set out in Part 4.7If the certification body finds that an entity in charge of maintenance no longer satisfies the requirements on the basis of which it issued the UK-issued ECM certificate, it must agree an improvement plan with the entity in charge of maintenance, or limit the scope of application of the certificate, or suspend the certificate, depending on the degree of non-compliance. In the event of continuous non-compliance with the certification requirements or any improvement plan, the certification body must limit the scope of or revoke the UK-issued ECM certificate, giving reasons for its decision, together with an indication of the process and time limit for appeal and the contact details of the appeal body.8When a railway undertaking or an infrastructure manager applies for a safety certificate or safety authorisation, the following provisions apply concerning the freight wagons it uses—awhere the freight wagons are maintained by the applicant, either the applicant must include as part of its application a valid UK-issued ECM certificate, if available, or its capacity as entity in charge of maintenance must be assessed as part of its application for a safety certificate or safety authorisation;bwhere the freight wagons are maintained by parties other than the applicant, the applicant must ensure, through its safety management system, the control of all risks related to its activity, including the use of such wagons, whereby, in particular, the provisions of paragraph 5 apply.9Certification bodies and national safety authorities must conduct an active exchange of views in all circumstances in order to avoid any duplication of assessment.<Addition ChangeId="key-59c72af0240a50edbd3d10e5343f3412-1643191339527" CommentaryRef="key-59c72af0240a50edbd3d10e5343f3412">System of certification for outsourced maintenance functions</Addition>81Where the entity in charge of maintenance decides to outsource one or more of the functions referred to in paragraph 4(1)(b), (c) and (d), or parts of them, voluntary certification of the contractor under the certification system of this Schedule creates a presumption of conformity of the entity in charge of maintenance with the relevant requirements set out in Part 4, as far as these requirements are covered by the voluntary certification of the contractor. In the absence of such certification, the entity in charge of maintenance must demonstrate to the certification body how it complies with all the requirements set out in Part 4 with regard to the functions it decides to outsource.2The contractors referred to in sub-paragraph (1) must apply for certification using the relevant form in Part 3 of Schedule 9. Certification in respect of outsourced maintenance functions, or parts of them, must be issued by the certification bodies, following the same procedures in paragraphs 6 and 7, adapted to the specific case of the applicant.

The overall decisional flowchart of the procedure is shown in paragraph 15, where positive and negative decisional arrows correspond respectively to a ‘passed’ and a ‘failed’ result of the different assessment steps.91The first assessment step must verify whether the observed safety performance is complying with the NRV or not.2The observed safety performance must be measured by using the measurement units listed in paragraph 14 and data gathered by the Office of Rail and Road in respect of railway accidents and related consequences, with time series which must include the most recent years of observations as specified in paragraph 6.3The observed safety performance must be expressed in terms of—asafety performance in the single most recent reported year; andbmoving weighted average (MWA), as specified in paragraph 13.4The values returned must then be compared with the NRV, and if one of these values does not exceed the NRV, the safety performance is to be considered acceptable. If this is not the case, the procedure must continue with the second assessment step.101The second assessment step must consider the safety performance to be acceptable if the MWA does not exceed the NRV plus a 20% range of tolerance.2If this condition is not satisfied, the Office of Rail and Road must obtain the specifics of the single highest-consequence accident, in terms of FWSIs, in the most recent years of observation as referred to in paragraph 6, excluding the years used to set the NRV.3If 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 must be excluded from the statistics.4The MWA must then be recalculated to check whether it lies within the abovementioned range of tolerance.5If this is the case, the safety performance must be considered acceptable. If this is not the case, the procedure must continue with the third assessment step.11The third assessment step must verify whether it is the first time in the last three years that the second assessment step did not return evidence of acceptable safety performance. If this is the case, the outcome of the third assessment step must be classified as ‘passed’. The procedure shall continue with the fourth step, whatever the outcome of the third step may be.121The fourth assessment step must verify whether the number of significant accidents per train-km, with respect to the previous years, remained stable or decreased. The criteria for this appraisal are whether there has been a statistically significant increase in the number of relevant significant accidents per train-km. This must be evaluated by using an upper Poisson tolerance bound which will determine the acceptable variability based on the number of accidents that occurred in the member States of the European Union.2If 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 must be classified as passed.3Depending 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—arisks to passengers: all relevant significant accidents;brisks to staff or employees, including the staff of contractors: all relevant significant accidents;crisks to level crossing users: all relevant significant accidents included in the risk category of level crossing accidents;drisks to unauthorised persons on railway premises: all relevant significant accidents included in the risk category of accidents to persons caused by rolling stock in motion;erisks to others: all relevant significant accidents;frisk to society as a whole: all significant accidents.<Addition ChangeId="key-59c72af0240a50edbd3d10e5343f3412-1643191339527" CommentaryRef="key-59c72af0240a50edbd3d10e5343f3412">Moving weighted averaging process for the annual assessment of achievement of NRVs</Addition>13For each of the risk categories to which the MWA is applied for carrying out, in each year Y (starting from Y = 2010), the assessment steps described in paragraphs 9 to 12, the following phases must be applied for calculating the MWAYacalculation of the annual observations OBSi returned by the corresponding indicators in paragraph 14 after providing as input the relevant data for the relevant years (the index i takes the values as defined in the formula in sub paragraph (e));bcalculation of the 5-year average (AV) of annual observation OBSi;ccalculation of the absolute value of the difference ABSDIFFi between each annual observation OBSi and the AV.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations impose prohibitions and requirements in relation to safety on railways and other guided transport systems.

Part 2 and regulation 20 of the Regulations implement, insofar as they apply to the mainline railway, in relation to Great Britain, Directive 2004/49/EC (O.J. No. L164, 30.04.04 p.44) of the European Parliament and the Council on safety on the Community's railways and amending Council Directive 95/18/EC on the licensing of transport undertakings and Directive 2001/14/EC on the allocation of infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges for use of infrastructure and safety certification (“the Rail Safety Directive”), except in relation to access to training facilities, placing in service of in-use rolling stock and accident and incident investigation.

Part 1 contains the interpretation provisions. Part 2 contains prohibitions in relation to the operation of trains or vehicles on railways and other guided transport systems and the management and use of infrastructure unless a person has established and is maintaining a safety management system and in specified cases has a safety certificate in relation to the operation of vehicles or a safety authorisation in relation to the management and use of infrastructure. Part 2 also makes provision in relation to the requirements for a safety management system and the issuing, amendment and revocation of safety certificates and authorisations by, and for the giving of notices to, the Office of Rail Regulation.

Part 3 provides for general duties on transport operators subject to the duties in Part 2 to carry out risk assessment, co-operate with each other and certain other persons and to prepare an annual safety report to the Office of Rail Regulation. It makes provision in relation to annual reports to the European Railway Agency and for the issuing, keeping and public inspection of documents.

Part 4 makes provision in relation to the carrying out of safety critical work on guided transport systems. It imposes obligations on those controlling the carrying out of such work to ensure that it is only carried out by fit and competent persons, and that safety critical workers do not carry out such work when fatigued, and it imposes related co-operation requirements.

Part 5 makes provision for appeals in relation to decisions relating to safety certificates and authorisations, for transitional provisions and savings in relation to compliance with the provisions of Parts 2 and 4, for the granting of exemptions and for a defence in relation to the safety verification requirements in regulations 5 and 6. Regulation 32 amends the Railways and Other Transport Systems (Approval of Works, Plant and Equipment) Regulations (ROTS) (S.I. 1994/157). Regulation 33 makes consequential amendments and regulation 34 revokes ROTS, the Railways (Safety Critical Work) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/299), the Railways (Safety Case) Regulations 2000 (S.I 2000/2688), regulations 2 to 16 of the the Railway Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/3291), the Railways (Safety Case) (Amendment) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/579) and regulation 31 of the Cableways Installations Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/129).

Technical Specifications for Interoperability are published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Common Safety Methods and Common Safety Targets are to be developed pursuant to the Rail Safety Directive and will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

A copy of the regulatory impact assessment and of the transposition note for Directive 2004/49/EC prepared in respect of these Regulations can be obtained from the Office of Rail Regulation, One Kemble Street, London WC2B 4AN. A copy of each has been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.
