(1) In accordance with Article 2(c) of Directive 2001/16/EC, the trans-European conventional rail system is subdivided into structural or functional subsystems. Each of these subsystems is to be covered by a technical specification for interoperability (TSI).
(2) The first step in establishing a TSI is to have a draft TSI drawn up by the European Association for Railway Interoperability (AEIF) which was appointed as the joint representative body.
(3) The AEIF has been given a mandate to draw up a draft TSI for the control-command and signalling subsystem in accordance with Article 6(1) of Directive 2001/16/EC. The basic parameters for this draft TSI were adopted by Commission Decision 2004/447/EC of 29 April 2004 modifying Annex A to Decision 2002/731/EC of 30 May 2002 and establishing the main characteristics of the Class A system (ERTMS) of the control-command and signalling subsystem of the trans-European conventional rail system referred to in Directive 2001/16/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2).
(4) The draft TSI set up on the basis of the basic parameters was accompanied by an introductory report containing a cost-benefit analysis as provided for in Article 6(5) of the Directive.
(5) The draft TSI has been examined by the Committee set up by Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system(3)
(6) As is required by Article 1 of Directive 2001/16/EC, the conditions for achieving interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system concern the design, construction, commissioning, upgrading, renewal and operation of the infrastructures and rolling stock contributing to the functioning of the system to be put into service . With regard to the infrastructures and rolling stock already in service at the time of entry into force of this TSI, the TSI should be applied from the time when work is envisaged on these infrastructures and rolling stock. However, the degree to which the TSI is applied will vary according to the scope and extent of the planned work and the costs and the benefits generated by the intended applications. In order for such piecemeal tasks to achieve full interoperability, they need to be underpinned by a coherent implementation strategy. In this context, a distinction should be made between upgrading, renewal and maintenance-related replacement.
(7) Directive 2001/16/EC and the TSIs do apply to renewals but not to maintenance-related replacements. However, Member States should be encouraged, where they are able to do so and where it is justified by the scope of the maintenance-related work, to apply the TSIs to maintenance-related replacements.
(8) Existing conventional lines and rolling stock are already equipped with control-command and signalling systems meeting the essential requirements of Directive 2001/16/EC. Such ‘legacy’ systems were developed and implemented according to national rules. Basic information concerning legacy systems is provided in Annex B of the TSI. Given that verification of interoperability of the legacy systems has to be established by reference to the requirements of the TSI, in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 2001/16/EC, it is necessary, during the transitional period between the publication of a Decision and the full implementation of the attached TSI, to lay down the conditions with which the legacy systems have to comply in addition to those explicitly referred to in the TSI. Member States are to provide each other and the Commission with information on the relevant national technical rules in use for achieving interoperability and meeting the essential requirements of Directive 2001/16/EC, on the bodies it appoints for carrying out the procedure for the assessment of conformity or suitability for use, and on the checking procedure for use in verifying the interoperability of subsystems pursuant to Article 16(2) of Directive 2001/16/EC.
(9) For this purpose, Member States should apply, as far as possible, the principles and criteria provided for in Directive 2001/16/CE for the implementation of Article 16(2), making use of the bodies notified under Article 20 of Directive 2001/16/EC. The Commission should carry out an analysis of the information forwarded by the Member States, in the form of national rules, procedures, bodies in charge of implementing procedures, and duration of the procedures and, where appropriate, should discuss with the Committee the need for the adoption of any further measures.
(10) A similar procedure should also apply with regard to those issues classified as ‘Open Points’ in Annex G of the TSI.
(11) The TSI should not demand the use of specific technologies or technical solutions except where this is strictly necessary for the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system.
(12) The TSI is based on best available expert knowledge at the time of preparation of the corresponding draft. Developments in technology, operational, safety or social requirements may make it necessary to amend or supplement this TSI. For this purpose, a Change Control Management process has been devised to consolidate and update the requirements of Annex A of the TSI. This updating process, which is currently placed under the auspices of the AEIF as joint representative body will be transferred to the European Railway Agency established under Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council(4)once this is operational. Where appropriate, a deeper and more comprehensive review or updating procedure which entails modifications to the due process identified in this TSI will be initiated in accordance with Article 6(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC.
(13) The application of the TSI to be adopted by this Decision should take into account specific criteria relating to technical and operational compatibility between the infrastructures and the rolling stock to be placed in service and the network into which they are to be integrated. These compatibility requirements entail a complex technical and economical analysis that should be conducted on a case-by-case basis for specific applications. Such analysis should take into account the interfaces between the different subsystems referred to in Directive 2001/16/EC, the different categories of lines and rolling stock referred to in that Directive, and the technical and operational environments of the existing network.
(14) It is essential that such an analysis develops against a framework of coherent implementation rules and guidelines. The latter necessitates the establishment by Member States of a national strategy for the implementation of the TSI which is the subject of this Decision, which should indicate the stages required to move towards an interoperable network. Such national strategies should be brought together and reconciled within the framework of an EU master plan setting the reference for the implementation of the TSI in a EU-wide perspective.
(15) The target system described in the attached TSI (Class A system) builds upon computer-based technology with a life expectancy significantly lower than current traditional railway signalling and telecommunication facilities. As such, it calls for a pro-active rather than reactive deployment strategy to avoid potential system obsolescence before system deployment reaches maturity. In addition, the adoption of too fragmented a deployment throughout the European rail system would give rise to major costs and operational overheads. The development of a coherent trans-European implementation plan for the target system would contribute to a harmonious development of the whole of the trans-European rail system in compliance with the Community strategy for the TEN transport network. Such a plan should build upon the corresponding national implementation plans and should provide an appropriate knowledge base for decision support by the different stakeholders, and in particular by the Commission in the allocation of financial support to railway projects. The Commission should co-ordinate the development of such a plan, in accordance with Article 155(2) of the Treaty.
(16) The migration towards the Class A target system as defined in the TSI requires appropriate measures to be taken at national level in order to facilitate such a migration. Such measures should aim to permit the operation of Class A equipment compliant with existing legacy systems or to facilitate implementation of pro-active approaches serving to reduce the time-to-deployment of Class A facilities. As regards the former, particular relevance has to be given to external Specific Transmission Modules for the national legacy Class B command-and-control systems.
(17) The TSI relating to the control-command and signalling subsystem of the trans-European conventional rail system should therefore be adopted. In consequence, Decision 2004/447/EC should be amended accordingly.
(18) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Directive 96/48/EC,
(a) the list of applicable technical rules mentioned in paragraph 1 for the ‘Open points’ referred to in Annex G of the TSI;
(b) the conformity assessment and checking procedures to be applied with regard to the application of the applicable technical rules referred to in paragraph 1;
(c) the bodies it appoints for carrying out those conformity-assessment and checking procedures.

2. INTERFACES.
3. The level of PERFORMANCE required to meet the essential requirements.
Class A: The unified Control-command system.
Class B: Control-command systems and applications existing before entry into force of the Directive 2001/16/EC, limited to those described in Annex B.
— the Class A radio and data communication interfaces to the infrastructure, in case of operation with Class A infrastructure,
— the Class B radio and data communication interfaces to the infrastructure, in case of operation with Class B infrastructure. For signalling data, this can be achieved with the use of a specific transmission module (STM) that allows a Class A On-board system to operate on lines fitted with Class B track-side system using the Class B data. The interface between the Class A on-board system and STM’s is defined in this TSI.
Level 1: Data transmission is achieved by spot transmission (Eurobalise) and in some cases by semi-continuous transmission (Euroloop or radio in-fill). The detection of trains is achieved by track-based equipment, usually track-circuits or axle counters. Signalling information is communicated to the driver by equipment in the driving cab and, optionally, lineside signals.
Level 2: Data transmission is achieved by continuous radio transmission (GSM-R). For some functions, the radio transmission requires complementing by spot transmission (Eurobalise). The detection of trains is achieved by track-based equipment, usually track-circuits or axle counters. Signalling information is communicated to the driver by equipment in the driving cab and, optionally, lineside signals.
Level 3: Data transmission is achieved by continuous radio transmission (GSM-R). For some functions, the radio transmission requires complementing by spot transmission (Eurobalise). The detection of trains is achieved by equipment on-board, reporting to the control-command track-side assembly. Signalling information is communicated to the driver by equipment in the driving cab.

— within ERTMS/ETCS provision is made for modules known as STMs (Specific Transmission Modules) to be added to ETCS to enable a train fitted with appropriate STMs to operate over existing pre-unified infrastructure. Another solution is that an infrastructure may be equipped with both Class A and Class B systems,
— the implementation of GSM-R systems on a nation-wide basis has already started in a significant number of countries of the former EU15. The first inter-connections of these national networks are due in 2004. Other networks will follow shortly. Some railways have chosen a solution where mobile equipment is designed in such a way that it can work in both systems (dual-mode = GSM-R and >=1 analogue radio), others have taken the solution to have a double coverage on network-side but only single equipment on the trains. GSM-R does not have ‘STMs’. Cab radios that have additional interface-units for Class B radio systems (Dual-mode) are able to work also on lines in a Class B network if specially designed. This solution is only an interim solution to allow early exchange of international trains.
— train radio (from Class B to Class A),
— train protection (from Class B to Class A),
— the train detection system,
— the hot axle-box detection system,
— EMC.
— to ensure the continuity of GSM-R service across borders avoiding the establishment of ‘black spots’ within some regions of the Community,
— to reconcile the migration timings throughout Europe in order to significantly reduce the cost and time overheads associated with the potential needs to sustain double analogue/digital telecommunication infrastructures and on-board facilities,
— to avoid a ‘two speed’ Europe between the former EU15 and the new Member States. Convergence needs to be achieved a target that is facilitated by the on-going programmes for major upgrading of the railway networks of the new Member States.
— new installations of radio part of a CCS assembly,
— an upgrade of radio part of a CCS assembly already in service that changes the functions or the performance of the subsystem.
— new installations of the radio part of a CCS assembly,
— an upgrade of the radio part of a CCS assembly already in service that changes the functions or the performance of the subsystem.
(i) to enable the creation of an interoperable rail backbone across Europe (coined hereafter as ETCS-Net) enabling the development of new and improved quality rail services that can ultimately heighten the competitive profile of rail transport notably in those market segments of major growth potential — e.g. international freight transport;
(ii) to constitute a focus for trans-national co-ordination efforts and for concentration of financing instruments in view of an accelerated and wider-ranging deployment of ERTMS/ETCS across the main routes of the trans-European rail network;
(iii) to move towards the conditions of ‘critical mass’ for ERTMS/ETCS to emerge as the natural market selection solution for new and upgrade signalling projects of the conventional rail network across Europe.
— new installations of train protection as part of a CCS assembly,
— an upgrade of train protection as part of a CCS assembly already in service that changes the functions or the performance of the subsystem.
— being part of the set of conventional rail priority projects established under the Trans-European Network guidelines included in Annex II of the Decision No 884/2004/EC,
— commanding a financial support from Structural Funds (Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999) and/or Cohesion Funds (Regulation (EC) No 1264/1999) in excess of 30 % of the total project costs.
— new installations of the train protection part of a CCS assembly,
— an upgrade of the train protection part of a CCS assembly already in service that changes the functions or the performance of the subsystem,
— any ‘major retrofitting’ of rolling stock already in service(9);
— New installations of the train protection part of a CCS assembly;
— An upgrade of the train protection part of a CCS assembly already in service that changes the functions or the performance of the subsystem.
— target lines: a clear identification of the national lines or sections which are earmarked for implementation. This applies notably to the national sections of the trans-national corridors earmarked in the ETCS-net blueprint(11). Appropriate consideration is to be given in this context to the national ERTMS/ETCS implementation plans notified under Decision 2002/731/EC in what refers to the high-speed sections covered by the ETCS-Net backbone,
— technical requirements: the essential technical characteristics of the different implementations (e.g. voice or data-quality network for GSM-R implementations, functional level of ERTMS/ETCS, ERTMS/ETCS-only or overlaid installations),
— deployment strategy and planning: an outline of the implementation plan (including sequencing and timing of the works),
— migration strategy: the strategy envisaged for the migration of both the infrastructure and rolling-stock subsystems of the earmarked national lines or sections (e.g. superposition of Class A and Class B systems, switch from Class B to Class A facilities at a planned date, migration based on the implementation of ETCS-based gap-filling solutions such as SCMT(12)or limited supervision),
— potential constraints: an overview of potential elements that might impact on fulfilment of the implementation plan (e.g. signalling works integrating larger scope infrastructure works, assurance of continuity of service across borders).
— all activities related to installation of control-command subsystems have to be justified by the awarding entities against this EU Master Plan in addition to all other applicable legislative requirements that are in force,

4.8. agree with the applicant the location where the examinations and necessary tests will be carried out.
5. Where the type meets the provisions of the TSI, the notified body must issue a type-examination certificate to the applicant. The certificate must contain the name and address of the manufacturer, conclusions of the examination, conditions for its validity and the necessary data for identification of the approved type.The time period of validity shall be no longer than five years.A list of the relevant parts of the technical documentation must be annexed to the certificate and a copy kept by the notified body.If the manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community is denied a type-examination certificate, the notified body must provide detailed reasons for such denial.Provision must be made for an appeals procedure.
6. The applicant must inform the notified body that holds the technical documentation concerning the type-examination certificate of all modifications to the approved product which must receive additional approval where such changes may affect the conformity with the requirements of the TSI or the prescribed conditions for use of the product. In this case the notified body shall perform only those examinations and tests that are relevant and necessary to the change(s).This additional approval may be given either in the form of an addition to the original type-examination certificate, or, by the issue of a new certificate after withdrawal of the old one.
7. If no modifications as in point 6 have been made, the validity of an expiring certificate can be extended for another period of validity. The applicant will apply for such a prolongation by a written confirmation that no such modifications have been made, and the notified body issues a prolongation for another period of validity as in point 5, if no contrary information exists. This procedure can be reiterated.
8. Each notified body must communicate to the other notified bodies the relevant information concerning the type-examination certificates and additions issued, withdrawn or refused.
9. The other notified bodies may receive, on request, copies of the type-examination certificates issued and/or their additions. The annexes to the certificates (see subsection 5) must be kept at the disposal of the other notified bodies.
10. The manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the Community must keep with the technical documentation copies of type-examination certificates and their additions for a period of 10 years after the last interoperability constituent has been manufactured. Where neither the manufacturer nor his authorised representative is established within the Community, the obligation to keep the technical documentation available is the responsibility of the person who places the interoperability constituent on the Community market.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/16/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2001 on the interoperability of the conventional rail system(1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
(1) In accordance with Article 2(c) of Directive 2001/16/EC, the trans-European conventional rail system is subdivided into structural or functional subsystems. Each of these subsystems is to be covered by a technical specification for interoperability (TSI).
(2) The first step in establishing a TSI is to have a draft TSI drawn up by the European Association for Railway Interoperability (AEIF) which was appointed as the joint representative body.
(3) The AEIF has been given a mandate to draw up a draft TSI for the control-command and signalling subsystem in accordance with Article 6(1) of Directive 2001/16/EC. The basic parameters for this draft TSI were adopted by Commission Decision 2004/447/EC of 29 April 2004 modifying Annex A to Decision 2002/731/EC of 30 May 2002 and establishing the main characteristics of the Class A system (ERTMS) of the control-command and signalling subsystem of the trans-European conventional rail system referred to in Directive 2001/16/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2).
(4) The draft TSI set up on the basis of the basic parameters was accompanied by an introductory report containing a cost-benefit analysis as provided for in Article 6(5) of the Directive.
(5) The draft TSI has been examined by the Committee set up by Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system(3)
(6) As is required by Article 1 of Directive 2001/16/EC, the conditions for achieving interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system concern the design, construction, commissioning, upgrading, renewal and operation of the infrastructures and rolling stock contributing to the functioning of the system to be put into service . With regard to the infrastructures and rolling stock already in service at the time of entry into force of this TSI, the TSI should be applied from the time when work is envisaged on these infrastructures and rolling stock. However, the degree to which the TSI is applied will vary according to the scope and extent of the planned work and the costs and the benefits generated by the intended applications. In order for such piecemeal tasks to achieve full interoperability, they need to be underpinned by a coherent implementation strategy. In this context, a distinction should be made between upgrading, renewal and maintenance-related replacement.
(7) Directive 2001/16/EC and the TSIs do apply to renewals but not to maintenance-related replacements. However, Member States should be encouraged, where they are able to do so and where it is justified by the scope of the maintenance-related work, to apply the TSIs to maintenance-related replacements.
(8) Existing conventional lines and rolling stock are already equipped with control-command and signalling systems meeting the essential requirements of Directive 2001/16/EC. Such ‘legacy’ systems were developed and implemented according to national rules. Basic information concerning legacy systems is provided in Annex B of the TSI. Given that verification of interoperability of the legacy systems has to be established by reference to the requirements of the TSI, in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 2001/16/EC, it is necessary, during the transitional period between the publication of a Decision and the full implementation of the attached TSI, to lay down the conditions with which the legacy systems have to comply in addition to those explicitly referred to in the TSI. Member States are to provide each other and the Commission with information on the relevant national technical rules in use for achieving interoperability and meeting the essential requirements of Directive 2001/16/EC, on the bodies it appoints for carrying out the procedure for the assessment of conformity or suitability for use, and on the checking procedure for use in verifying the interoperability of subsystems pursuant to Article 16(2) of Directive 2001/16/EC.
(9) For this purpose, Member States should apply, as far as possible, the principles and criteria provided for in Directive 2001/16/CE for the implementation of Article 16(2), making use of the bodies notified under Article 20 of Directive 2001/16/EC. The Commission should carry out an analysis of the information forwarded by the Member States, in the form of national rules, procedures, bodies in charge of implementing procedures, and duration of the procedures and, where appropriate, should discuss with the Committee the need for the adoption of any further measures.
(10) A similar procedure should also apply with regard to those issues classified as ‘Open Points’ in Annex G of the TSI.
(11) The TSI should not demand the use of specific technologies or technical solutions except where this is strictly necessary for the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system.
(12) The TSI is based on best available expert knowledge at the time of preparation of the corresponding draft. Developments in technology, operational, safety or social requirements may make it necessary to amend or supplement this TSI. For this purpose, a Change Control Management process has been devised to consolidate and update the requirements of Annex A of the TSI. This updating process, which is currently placed under the auspices of the AEIF as joint representative body will be transferred to the European Railway Agency established under Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council(4)once this is operational. Where appropriate, a deeper and more comprehensive review or updating procedure which entails modifications to the due process identified in this TSI will be initiated in accordance with Article 6(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC.
(13) The application of the TSI to be adopted by this Decision should take into account specific criteria relating to technical and operational compatibility between the infrastructures and the rolling stock to be placed in service and the network into which they are to be integrated. These compatibility requirements entail a complex technical and economical analysis that should be conducted on a case-by-case basis for specific applications. Such analysis should take into account the interfaces between the different subsystems referred to in Directive 2001/16/EC, the different categories of lines and rolling stock referred to in that Directive, and the technical and operational environments of the existing network.
(14) It is essential that such an analysis develops against a framework of coherent implementation rules and guidelines. The latter necessitates the establishment by Member States of a national strategy for the implementation of the TSI which is the subject of this Decision, which should indicate the stages required to move towards an interoperable network. Such national strategies should be brought together and reconciled within the framework of an EU master plan setting the reference for the implementation of the TSI in a EU-wide perspective.
(15) The target system described in the attached TSI (Class A system) builds upon computer-based technology with a life expectancy significantly lower than current traditional railway signalling and telecommunication facilities. As such, it calls for a pro-active rather than reactive deployment strategy to avoid potential system obsolescence before system deployment reaches maturity. In addition, the adoption of too fragmented a deployment throughout the European rail system would give rise to major costs and operational overheads. The development of a coherent trans-European implementation plan for the target system would contribute to a harmonious development of the whole of the trans-European rail system in compliance with the Community strategy for the TEN transport network. Such a plan should build upon the corresponding national implementation plans and should provide an appropriate knowledge base for decision support by the different stakeholders, and in particular by the Commission in the allocation of financial support to railway projects. The Commission should co-ordinate the development of such a plan, in accordance with Article 155(2) of the Treaty.
(16) The migration towards the Class A target system as defined in the TSI requires appropriate measures to be taken at national level in order to facilitate such a migration. Such measures should aim to permit the operation of Class A equipment compliant with existing legacy systems or to facilitate implementation of pro-active approaches serving to reduce the time-to-deployment of Class A facilities. As regards the former, particular relevance has to be given to external Specific Transmission Modules for the national legacy Class B command-and-control systems.
(17) The TSI relating to the control-command and signalling subsystem of the trans-European conventional rail system should therefore be adopted. In consequence, Decision 2004/447/EC should be amended accordingly.
(18) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Directive 96/48/EC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Further information about the control-command subsystem is provided in Chapter 2 (Subsystem definition and scope).
1.2. Geographical scopeThe geographical scope of this TSI is the trans-European conventional rail system as described in Annex I to Directive 2001/16/EC.
1.3. Content of this TSIIn accordance with Article 5(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC, this TSI:

(a) | indicates its intended scope (part of the network or rolling stock referred to in Annex I to the Directive; subsystem or part of subsystem referred to in Annex II to the Directive) — Chapter 2 (Subsystem definition and scope);
(b) | lays down essential requirements for the control-command subsystem concerned and its interfaces vis-à-vis other subsystems — Chapter 3 (The Essential Requirements Of The control-command subsystem);
(c) | establishes the functional and technical specifications to be met by the subsystem and its interfaces vis-à-vis other subsystems. If necessary, these specifications may vary according to the use of the subsystem, for example according to the categories of line, hub and/or rolling stock provided for in Annex I to the Directive — Chapter 4 (Characterisation of the subsystem);

Lastly, this TSI also comprises, in Chapter 4 (Characterisation of the subsystem), the operating and maintenance rules specific to the scope indicated in sections 1.1 (Technical scope) and section 1.2 (Geographical scope).
2. SUBSYSTEM DEFINITION AND SCOPE2.1. GeneralThe control-command subsystem is defined as that set of functions and their implementation, which allow the safe movement of trains.
The TSI control-command defines the essential requirements for those parts of the Control-command subsystem that have relevance to interoperability, and therefore are subject to EC declaration of verification.
The features of the Control-command subsystem that are related to the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system are determined by:

1. | The FUNCTIONS that are essential for the safe control of the railway traffic, and that are essential for the operation, including those required under degraded conditions.
2. | INTERFACES.
3. | The level of PERFORMANCE required to meet the essential requirements.The specification of these functions, interfaces and performance requirements are provided in Chapter 4 (Characterisation of the Subsystem) where supporting standards are referenced.
2.2. OverviewThe interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail network depends in part on the ability of the on-board control-command equipment to work with various track-side equipment.
Because of the mobility of the onboard part, the control-command subsystem is divided in two parts: onboard assembly and track-side assembly (see Figure 8 in Annex D).
2.2.1. InteroperabilityThis TSI defines the functions, interfaces and performance requirements to ensure the achievement of technical interoperability. Technical interoperability is the prerequisite for operational interoperability, in which the driving is based on consistent information displayed in the cabs and is in accordance with unified operational requirements defined for the conventional network. This TSI also contains functions that are needed to achieve operational interoperability (see section 4.3.1 Interface to the subsystem traffic operation and management).
2.2.2. Classes of control-command systemsWithin the Control-command subsystem two classes of train protection and radio communication systems are defined:

Class A: | The unified Control-command system.
Class B: | Control-command systems and applications existing before entry into force of the Directive 2001/16/EC, limited to those described in Annex B.In order to achieve interoperability, the trains’ on-board control-command assembly will provide:

— | the Class A radio and data communication interfaces to the infrastructure, in case of operation with Class A infrastructure,
— | the Class B radio and data communication interfaces to the infrastructure, in case of operation with Class B infrastructure. For signalling data, this can be achieved with the use of a specific transmission module (STM) that allows a Class A On-board system to operate on lines fitted with Class B track-side system using the Class B data. The interface between the Class A on-board system and STM’s is defined in this TSI.Member States have the responsibility to ensure that Class B systems are managed during their lifetime; in particular any changes to these specifications must not prejudice interoperability.
2.2.3. Levels of applicationThe interfaces specified by this TSI define the means of data transmission to, and sometimes from, trains. The Class A specifications referenced by this TSI provide options from which a project may choose the means of transmission that meet its requirements. Three levels of application are defined:

Level 1: | Data transmission is achieved by spot transmission (Eurobalise) and in some cases by semi-continuous transmission (Euroloop or radio in-fill). The detection of trains is achieved by track-based equipment, usually track-circuits or axle counters. Signalling information is communicated to the driver by equipment in the driving cab and, optionally, lineside signals.
Level 2: | Data transmission is achieved by continuous radio transmission (GSM-R). For some functions, the radio transmission requires complementing by spot transmission (Eurobalise). The detection of trains is achieved by track-based equipment, usually track-circuits or axle counters. Signalling information is communicated to the driver by equipment in the driving cab and, optionally, lineside signals.
Level 3: | Data transmission is achieved by continuous radio transmission (GSM-R). For some functions, the radio transmission requires complementing by spot transmission (Eurobalise). The detection of trains is achieved by equipment on-board, reporting to the control-command track-side assembly. Signalling information is communicated to the driver by equipment in the driving cab.The requirements of this TSI apply to all levels of application. Implementation is addressed in Chapter 7 (Implementation of the TSI control-command). A train equipped with a Class A On-board system for a given level of application shall be able to operate on that level and any lower one.
2.2.4. Infrastructure network bordersThe local technical interfaces between the Track-side control-command Assemblies of neighbouring infrastructures shall not restrict the uninterrupted passage of trains when crossing borders between them.
Any high-speed or conventional train fitted with Class A On-board system in accordance with the corresponding TSI shall not, on grounds concerning anyone of both TSIs, be restricted in operating on any high-speed or conventional route with infrastructure fitted with Class A track-side system in accordance with the corresponding TSI, as soon as the register of rolling stock of that train and the register of Infrastructure of that route have been cross-checked for interoperability.
3. THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE CONTROL-COMMANDCONTROL-COMMAND SUBSYSTEM3.1. GeneralThe interoperability Directive 2001/16/EC Article 4(1) requires that the trans-European conventional rail system, subsystems and the interoperability constituents including interfaces meet the essential requirements set out in general terms in Annex III to the Directive. The eEssential requirements are:

— | safety,
— | reliability and availability,
— | health,
— | environmental protection,
— | technical compatibility.The Directive allows that the essential requirements may be applied to the whole trans-European conventional rail system or be specific to each subsystem and its interoperability constituents.
The Essential Requirements are taken in turn, below. Requirements on Class B systems are the responsibility of the relevant Member State.
3.2. Specific Aspects for the control-command subsystem3.2.1. SafetyEvery project to which this specification is applied shall put into effect the measures necessary to demonstrate that the level of risk of an incident occurring that is within the scope of the Control-command subsystem, is not higher than the objective for the service. To ensure that the solutions to achieve safety do not jeopardise interoperability the requirements of the basic parameter defined in section 4.2.1 (Control-command safety characteristics relevant to interoperability) shall be respected.
ForClass Asystem, the global safety objective for the subsystem is apportioned between the on-board and Track-side Assemblies. The detailed requirements are specified in the basic parameter defined in section 4.2.1 (Control-command safety characteristics relevant to interoperability). This safety requirement must be met together with the availability requirements as defined in Section 3.2.2 (Reliability and Availability).
ForClass Bsystems used for conventional rail operation, it is the responsibility of the appropriate Member State (defined in Annex B) to:

— | ensure that the Class B system design meets national safety targets,
— | ensure that the application of the Class B system meets national safety targets,
— | define the safe operating parameters and conditions of use of the Class B system (including, but not limited to, maintenance and degraded modes).3.2.2. Reliability and Availability
(a) | For Class A system, the global reliability and availability objectives for the subsystem are apportioned between the On-board and Track-side Assemblies. The detailed requirements are specified inthe Basic Parameter defined in section 4.2.1 (control-command safety characteristics relevant to interoperability).
(b) | The quality of the maintenance organisation for all systems comprising the control-command subsystem shall ensure that the level of risk is controlled as constituents age and wear. The quality of the maintenance shall ensure that safety is not prejudiced because of these activities. See section 4.5 (Maintenance rules).3.2.3. HealthAccording to the European regulations and to the national regulations which are compatible with the European legislation, precautions shall be taken to ensure that the materials used in and the design of Control-command subsystems do not constitute a health hazard to persons having access to them.
3.2.4. Environmental protectionAccording to the European regulations and to the national regulations which are compatible with the European legislation:

— | the control-command equipment, if subjected to excessive heat or fire, shall not exceed limits for the emission of fumes or gases which are harmful to the environment,
— | the control-command equipment shall not contain substances which may during their normal use abnormally contaminate the environment,
— | the control-command equipment shall be subject to the European legislation in force controlling the limits to the emission of and the susceptibility to electromagnetic interference along the boundaries of railway property,
— | the control-command equipment shall comply with existing regulations on noise pollution,
— | the control-command equipment shall not give rise to any inadmissible level of vibration which could jeopardise the integrity of the infrastructure (when the infrastructure is in the correct state of maintenance).3.2.5. Technical compatibilityTechnical compatibility includes the functions, interfaces and performances required to achieve interoperability.
The requirements of technical compatibility are subdivided in the following three categories:

— | the first category sets out the general engineering requirements for interoperability, that is environmental conditions, internal electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) within the railway boundaries, and installation. These compatibility requirements are defined in this Chapter,
— | the second category describes how the control-command subsystem has to be applied and what functions it has to perform in order that interoperability is achieved. This category is defined in Chapter 4,
— | the third category describes how the control-command subsystem has to be operated in order that interoperability is achieved. This category is defined in Chapter 4.3.2.5.1. Engineering compatibility3.2.5.1.1. Physical environmental conditions
Systems complying with theClass Asystem requirements shall be capable of operating under the climatic and physical conditions which exist along the relevant part of the trans-European conventional network. For the interfaces to rolling stock see section 4.3.2.5 (Physical environmental conditions) and for the interfaces to infrastructure see section 4.3.3.3 (Physical environmental conditions).
Systems complying with theClass Bsystem requirements shall conform at least to the physical environmental specifications applying to the corresponding Class B system, in order to be capable of operating under the climatic and physical conditions which exist along the conventional lines concerned.
3.2.5.1.2. Railway internal electromagnetic compatibility
The Basic Parameter is described in section 4.2.12 (Electromagnetic compatibility). For the interfaces to rolling stock see section 4.3.2.6 (Electromagnetic compatibility), for the interfaces to infrastructure see section 4.3.3.4 (Electromagnetic compatibility) and for the interfaces to Energy see section 4.3.4.1 (Electromagnetic compatibility).
3.2.5.2. Control-command compatibility.Chapter 4, supported by Annexes A and B, defines the requirements for the interoperability of the control-command subsystem.
In addition, this TSI together with the control-command TSI for the trans-European high-speed rail system ensures, as far as the control-command subsystem is concerned, the technical interoperability between trans-European high- speed rail and conventional rail systems when both are fitted with Class A system.
4. CHARACTERISATION OF THE SUBSYSTEM4.1. IntroductionThe trans-European conventional rail system, to which the Directive 2001/16/EC applies and of which the control-command subsystem is a part, is an integrated system whose consistency must be verified. This consistency must be checked in particular with regard to the specifications of the subsystem, its interfaces vis-à-vis the system in which it is integrated, as well as the operating and maintenance rules.
Taking account of all the relevant essential requirements, the control-command subsystem is characterised by the following basic parameters:

— | control-command safety characteristics relevant to interoperability (section 4.2.1),
— | on-board ETCS functionality (section 4.2.2),
— | track-side ETCS functionality (section 4.2.3),
— | EIRENE functions (section 4.2.4),
— | ETCS and EIRENE air gap interfaces (section 4.2.5),
— | on-board Interfaces Internal to Control Command (section 4.2.6),
— | track-side Interfaces Internal to Control Command (section 4.2.7),
— | key management (section 4.2.8),
— | ETCS-ID management (section 4.2.9),
— | HABD (hot axle box detector) (section 4.2.10),
— | compatibility with track-side Train Detection Systems (section 4.2.11),
— | Electromagnetic compatibility (section 4.2.12),
— | ETCS DMI (driver machine interface) (section 4.2.13)
— | EIRENE DMI (driver machine interface) (section 4.2.14)
— | interface to data recording for regulatory purposes (section 4.2.15)
— | Visibility of track-side control-command objects (section 4.2.16)The requirements of sections

— | 4.2.10 (HABD (Hot axle box detector)),
— | 4.2.11 (Compatibility with track-side train detection systems),
— | 4.2.12 (Electromagnetic compatibility),
— | 4.2.16 (Visibility of track-side Control-command objects)shall always be applied, independently of the class of system.
All other requirements in section 4.2 (Functional and technical specifications of the subsystem) shall always be applied to the Class A system only. Requirements of Class B systems are the responsibility of the appropriate Member State. Annex B deals with the characteristics of the Class B system and defines the responsible Member States.
The STMs, which enable the Class A on-board system to operate over Class B infrastructure, are subject to the Class B requirements.
To achieve interoperability it is not necessary to standardise all the functions within the whole control-command subsystem. The functionality for automatic train protection and automatic train control considered in chapter 4 is:

— | on-board standard functions, ensuring that every train will react to data received from track-side in a predictable way,
— | track-side standard functions, able to process data from national interlocking and signalling systems and to translate such data into standard messages for the trains,
— | standard interfaces for track-to-train and train-to-track communication.The control-command functions are classified in categories indicating, for example, whether they are optional or mandatory. The categories are defined in Annex A, Index 1 and Annex A, Index 32 and the classification of the functions are indicated within their text.
Annex A, Index 3 provides the Glossary of ETCS terms and definitions which are used in the specifications referred in Annex A.
In light of the essential requirements in Chapter 3, the functional and technical specifications of the control-command subsystem are as follows:

5. INTEROPERABILITY CONSTITUENTS5.1. DefinitionsAccording to Article 2(d) of Directive 2001/16/EC:
Interoperability constituents are ‘any elementary component, group of components, subassembly or complete assembly of equipment incorporated or intended to be incorporated into a subsystem upon which the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system depends directly or indirectly. The concept of a constituent covers both tangible objects and intangible objects such as software.’
As described in Chapter 2, the control-command subsystem is divided into two assemblies therefore the general definition of the Directive may therefore be adapted as follows:
Control-command interoperability constituents are any elementary component, group of components or subassembly of equipment incorporated or intended to be incorporated into the track-side assembly or into the on-board assembly, and upon which the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system depends directly or indirectly. The concept of a constituent covers both tangible objects and intangible objects such as software.
5.2. List of interoperability constituents5.2.1. Basic interoperability constituentsThe interoperability constituents in the control-command subsystem are listed in:

— | Table 5.1.a for the on-board assembly,
— | Table 5.2.a for the track-side assembly.The interoperability constituent ‘safety platform’ is defined as a building block (generic product, independent of the application) made of hardware and base software (firmware and/or operating system and/or support tools), which can be used for building more complex systems (generic applications, i.e. classes of applications).
5.2.2. Grouping of interoperability constituentsThe control-command basic interoperability constituents defined in Tables 5.1.a and 5.2.a may be combined to form a larger unit. The group is then defined by the functions of the integrated interoperability constituents and the remaining interfaces to the outside of the group. If a group is formed this way, it shall be considered as an interoperability constituent.

— | Table 5.1.b lists the groups of interoperability constituents of the on-board assembly
— | Table 5.2.b lists the groups of interoperability constituents of the track-side assemblyWhen the mandatory specifications indicated in this TSI are not available to support an interface, a declaration of conformity may be possible by grouping interoperability constituents.
5.3. Constituents performances and specificationsFor each basic interoperability constituent or group of interoperability constituents, the tables in chapter 5 describe:

— | in column 3, the functions and interfaces. Note that some interoperability constituents have functions and/or interfaces that are optional,
— | in column 4, the mandatory specifications for the conformity assessment of each function or interface, as far as relevant, by reference to the relevant section of chapter 4,
— | in column 5, the modules to be applied for conformity assessment, which are described in chapter 6 of this TSI.Note that the requirements of section 4.5.1 (Responsibility of manufacturer of equipment) apply to each basic interoperability constituent or group of interoperability constituents.

IntroductionIn the scope of the present TSI, fulfilment of relevant essential requirements quoted in chapter 3 of this TSI will be ensured by the compliance with the specification referenced in Chapter 4 and, as a follow up, in chapter 5 for the interoperability constituents, as demonstrated by a positive result of the assessment of conformity and/or suitability of use of the interoperability constituent and verification of the subsystem as described in Chapter 6.
Nevertheless, where part of the essential requirements are satisfied by national rules, because of:

(a) | use of Class B systems (including national functions in STMs);
(b) | open points in the TSI;
(c) | derogation’s under Article 7 of Directive 2001/16/EC;
(d) | specific cases described in Section 7.3.then the conformity assessment shall be carried out under the responsibility of the Member States concerned according to notified procedures.
6.1. Interoperability constituents6.1.1. Assessment proceduresThe manufacturer of an interoperability Constituent (IC) (and/or groups of interoperability constituents) or his authorised representative established within the Community shall draw up an EC declaration of conformity in accordance with Article 13.1 and Annex IV of Directive 2001/16/EC before placing them on the market.
The assessment procedure for conformity of interoperability constituents and/or groups of interoperability constituents as defined in Chapter 5 of this TSI shall be carried out by application of modules as specified in section 6.1.2 (Modules).
Some of the specifications in this TSI contain mandatory and/or optional functions. The notified body shall:

— | verify that all mandatory functions relevant to the interoperability constituent are implemented;
— | verify which optional functions are implemented,and carry out the assessment of conformity.
The supplier shall indicate in the EC declaration which optional functions are implemented.
The notified body shall verify, that no additional functions, implemented in the constituent, lead to conflicts with implemented mandatory or optional functions.
6.1.1.1. The specific transmission module (STM)The STM has to meet national requirements, and its approval is a responsibility of the appropriate Member State as stated in Annex B.
The verification of the STM interface to the ERTMS/ETCS on-board requires a conformity assessment carried out by a notified body. The notified body shall verify that the Member State has approved the national part of the STM.
6.1.1.2. EC declaration of suitability for useAn EC declaration of suitability for use is not required for interoperability constituents of the control-command subsystem.
6.1.2. ModulesFor the assessment of interoperability constituents within the control-command subsystem, the manufacturer, or his authorised representative established within the Community, may choose the modules according to tables 5.1A, 5.1B, 5.2A and 5.2B:

— | either the type-examination procedure (Module B) for the design and development phase in combination with the production quality management system procedure (Module D) for the production phase, or
— | the type-examination procedure (Module B) for the design and development phase in combination with the product verification procedure (Module F), or
— | the full quality management system with design examination procedure (Module H2).The description of the modules is in Annex E of this TSI.
The Module D (production quality management system) may only be chosen where the manufacturer operates a quality system for production, final product inspection and testing, approved and surveyed by a notified body.
The Module H2 (full quality management system with design examination) may only be chosen where the manufacturer operates a quality system for design, production, final product inspection and testing, approved and surveyed by a notified body.
The following additional clarifications apply to the use of some of the modules:

— | with reference to Chapter 4 of the Module B (type examination) description in Annex E:(a)design review is requested;(b)review of manufacturing process is not requested if Module B (type examination) is used together with Module D (production quality management system);(c)review of manufacturing process is requested if Module B (type examination) is used together with Module F (product verification), | (a) | design review is requested; | (b) | review of manufacturing process is not requested if Module B (type examination) is used together with Module D (production quality management system); | (c) | review of manufacturing process is requested if Module B (type examination) is used together with Module F (product verification),
(a) | design review is requested;
(b) | review of manufacturing process is not requested if Module B (type examination) is used together with Module D (production quality management system);
(c) | review of manufacturing process is requested if Module B (type examination) is used together with Module F (product verification),
— | With reference to chapter 3 of the Module F (product verification) description in Annex E, statistical verification is not allowed, i.e., all interoperability constituents shall be individually examined,
— | With reference to section 6.3 of the Module H2 (full quality management system with design examination), a type test is required.Independently of the selected module, provisions of Annex A Index 47, Index A1, Index A2 and Index A3 shall be applied for the certification of interoperability constituents, for which requirements of the basic parameter safety (section 4.2.1 Control-command safety characteristics relevant to interoperability) apply.
Independently of the selected module, it shall be checked that the indications of the supplier for the maintenance of the interoperability constituent are compliant with the requirements of section 4.5 (Maintenance rules) of this TSI.
If Module B (type examination) is used, this shall be made on the basis of the examination of the technical documentation (see section 3 and 4.1 of the description of Module B (type examination)).
If Module H2 (full quality management system with design examination) is used, the application for design examination shall include all elements supporting evidence that the requirements of section 4.5 (Maintenance rules) of this TSI are fulfilled.
6.2. Control-command subsystem6.2.1. Assessment proceduresThis Chapter deals with EC declaration of verification of control-command subsystem. As stated in Chapter 2 the application of the control-command subsystem is treated as two assemblies:

— | the on-board assembly,
— | the track-side assembly.For each assembly, an EC declaration of verification is required.
At the request of the contracting entity or its representative established in the Community the notified body carries out EC verification of an on-board or track-side assembly in accordance with Annex VI to Directive 2001/16/EC.
The contracting entity shall draw up the EC declaration of verification for the control-command assembly in accordance with Article 18(1) and Annex V of Directive 2001/16/EC.
The content of the EC declaration of verification shall conform to Annex V to Directive 2001/16/EC. This includes the verification of the integration of the interoperability constituents that are part of the assembly; the tables 6.1 and 6.2 define the characteristics to be verified and reference the mandatory specifications to be applied.
Some of the specifications in this TSI contain mandatory and/or optional functions. The notified body shall:

— | verify that all mandatory functions required to the Assembly are implemented,
— | verify that all optional functions required by the track-side or on-board specific implementation are implemented.The notified body shall verify, that no additional functions, implemented in the assembly, lead to conflicts with implemented mandatory or optional functions.
Information on the specific implementation of the track-side assembly and on-board assembly shall be provided in the Register of Infrastructure and in the Register of Rolling Stock in accordance with Annex C.
The EC declaration of verification of track-side assembly or on-board assembly shall provide all the information required for inclusion in the abovementioned registers. The Registers shall be managed in accordance with Article 24 of Directive 2001/16/EC.
The EC declaration of verification of on-board and track-side assemblies, together with the certificates of conformity, is sufficient to ensure that an track-side assembly will operate with a on-board assembly equipped with corresponding characteristics as defined in the Register of Rolling Stock and in the Register of Infrastructure without an additional subsystem EC declaration of verification.
6.2.1.1. Functional integration verification of on-board assemblyThe verification is to be made for a control-command on-board assembly installed on a vehicle. For the control-command equipment that is not defined as Class A only the verification requirements associated with interoperability (for example STM/ERTMS ETCS on-board interface) are included in this TSI.
Before any on-board functional verification can take place, the interoperability constituents included in the assembly shall have been assessed in accordance with section 6.1 above resulting in an EC declaration of conformity. The notified body shall assess that they are suitable for the application (e.g. optional functions implemented).
Class A functionality already verified at interoperability constituent level does not require additional verification.
The integration verification tests shall be performed to demonstrate that the components of the assembly have been correctly interconnected and interfaced to the train to ensure that the required functionality and performance required for that application of the assembly is achieved. When identical control-command on-board assemblies are installed on identical items of rolling stock, the integration verification has to be done only once on one item of rolling stock.
The following shall be verified:

— | correctness of installation of the control-command on-board assembly (e.g. compliance with engineering rules, co-operation of interconnected equipment, absence of unsafe interactions and, where required, storage of application specific data),
— | correctness of operations at the interfaces with rolling stock (e.g. train brakes, vigilance, train integrity),
— | ability to interface with control-command track-side assembly with corresponding characteristics (e.g. ETCS application level, optional functions installed),
— | ability of reading and storing in the safety data recorder all required information (also provided by non-ETCS systems, if required).This verification may be made in a depot.
The verification of the ability of the on-board assembly to interface with a track-side assembly consists of the verification of the ability to read a certified Eurobalise and (if the functionality is installed on-board) Euroloop and the ability to establish GSM-R connections for voice and (if the functionality is installed) for data.
If class B equipment is also included, the notified body shall verify that the integration test requirements issued by the appropriate Member State have been met.
6.2.1.2. Functional integration verification of track-side assemblyThe verification is to be made for a control-command track-side assembly installed on an infrastructure. For the control-command equipment that is not defined as Class A only the verification requirements associated with interoperability (for example EMC) are included in this TSI.
Before track-side functional verification can take place the interoperability constituents included in the assembly shall have been assessed in accordance with section 6.1 (interoperability constituants) above and have an EC declaration of conformity. The notified body shall verify that they are suitable for the application (e.g. optional functions implemented).
Class A functionality already verified at interoperability constituent level does not require additional verification.
For the design of the ERTMS/ETCS part of the control-command track-side assembly, TSI requirements must be complemented by national specifications covering e.g.:

— | the description of the line, characteristics such as gradients, distances, positions of route elements and Eurobalises/Euroloops, locations to be protected, etc.
— | the signalling data and rules required to be handled by the ERTMS/ETCS system.The integration verification tests shall be performed to demonstrate that the components of the assembly have been correctly interconnected and interfaced to national track-side equipment to ensure that the required functionality and performance of the assembly necessary for that application is achieved.
The following track-side interfaces shall be considered:

— | between the Class A radio system and the ERTMS/ETCS (RBC or radio in-fill unit, if relevant),
— | between Eurobalise and the LEU,
— | between Euroloop and the LEU,
— | between neighbouring RBCs,
— | between the ERTMS/ETCS (RBC, LEU, radio in-fill unit) and interlocking or national signalling, as relevant.The following shall be verified:

— | correctness of installation of the ERTMS/ETCS part of the control-command track-side assembly (e.g. compliance with engineering rules, co-operation of interconnected pieces of equipment, absence of unsafe interactions and, where required, storage of application specific data according to the above mentioned national specifications),
— | correctness of operations at the interfaces with national track-side equipment,
— | ability to interface with an on-board assembly with corresponding characteristics (e.g. ETCS application level).6.2.1.3. Assessment in migration phasesUpgrading an existing track-side or on-board control-command assembly may be performed in successive steps in accordance with section and section 7.2.3 and section 7.2.4. In each step only compliance with the TSI requirements relevant for the step is achieved, while other requirements of the remaining steps are not fulfilled.
The contracting entity may lodge an application for the assessment of the assembly at this step from a notified body.
Independently of the modules chosen by the contracting entity the notified body shall verify that:

— | the TSI requirements relevant for this step are respected,
— | the TSI requirements already assessed are not prejudiced.Functions already assessed and unchanged and not affected by this step do not need to be checked again.
The certificate(s) issued by the notified body after the positive assessment of the assembly is accompanied by reservations indicating the limits of the certificate(s), which TSI requirements are fulfilled and which are not fulfilled.
The reservations shall be indicated in the Rolling Stock Register and/or Infrastructure Register as appropriate.
6.2.2. ModulesAll modules indicated below are specified in Annex E of this TSI.
6.2.2.1. On-board assemblyFor the verification procedure of the On-board assembly, the contracting entity or its authorised representative established within the Community may choose either:

— | the type-examination procedure (Module SB) for the design and development phase in combination with the production quality management system procedure (Module SD) for the production phase, or
— | the type-examination procedure (Module SB) for the design and development phase in combination with the product verification procedure (Module SF), or
— | the full quality management system with design examination procedure (Module SH2).6.2.2.2. Track-side assemblyFor the verification procedure of the track-side assembly, the contracting entity or its authorised representative established within the Community may choose either:

— | the unit verification procedure (Module SG), or
— | the type-examination procedure (Module SB) for the design and development phase in combination with the production quality management system procedure (Module SD)) for the production phase, or
— | the type-examination procedure (Module SB) for the design and development phase in combination with the product verification procedure (Module SF), or
— | the full quality management system with design examination procedure (Module SH2).6.2.2.3. Conditions for use of modules for on-board and track-side assembliesThe Module SD (production quality management system) may only be chosen where the contracting entity contracts only with manufacturers, that operate a quality system for production, final product inspection and testing, approved and surveyed by a notified body.
The Module SH2 (full quality management system with design examination) may only be chosen where all activities contributing to the Subsystem project to be verified (design, manufacturing, assembling, installation) are subject to a quality system for design, production, final product inspection and testing, approved and surveyed by a notified body.
Independently of the selected module, the design review includes the verification that the requirements of section 4.5 (Maintenance rules) of this TSI have been respected.
Independently of the selected module, the provisions of Annex A Index 47, Index A1, and where relevant Index A2 and Index A3 shall be applied.
With reference to Chapter 4 of Module SB (type-examination), design review is requested.
With reference to section 4.3 of Module SH2 (full quality management system with design examination), a type test is required.
With reference to:

— | Section 5.2 of Module SD (production quality management system),
— | Chapter 7 of Module SF (product verification),
— | Chapter 4 of Module SG (unit verification),
— | Section 5.2 of Module SH2 (full quality management system with design examination), validation under full operational conditions is defined in section 0 (on-board assembly validation) and section 0 (track-side assembly validation).On-board assembly validation
For an on-board assembly the validation under full operational conditions shall be a type test. It is acceptable to be performed on a single instance of the assembly, and shall be performed by means of test runs with the scope to verify:

— | performances of the odometry functions,
— | compatibility of the control-command assembly with rolling stock equipment and environment (e.g. EMC) in order to be able to multiply the implementation of the On-board assembly on other locomotives of the same type,
— | compatibility of the rolling stock with control-command Track-side assembly (e.g. EMC aspects, operation of track circuits and axle counters).Such test runs shall be performed on an infrastructure allowing for verifications in conditions representative of the characteristics that may be found in the European conventional rail network (e.g. gradients, train speed, vibrations, traction power, temperature).
If the tests show that the specifications are not achieved in all cases (e.g. TSI compliance only up to a certain speed), the consequences with regard to compliance with the TSI shall be recorded on the certificate of conformity and in the rolling stock register.
Track-side assembly validation
For a Track-side assembly the validation under full operational conditions shall be performed by means of test runs of a rolling stock of known characteristics and shall have the scope to verify compatibility between rolling stock and control-command Track-side assembly (e.g. EMC aspects, operation of track circuits and axle counters). Such test runs shall be performed with suitable rolling stock of known characteristics allowing for verifications in conditions that may occur during service (e.g. train speed, traction power).
Test runs shall also validate the compatibility of the information provided to the train driver by the Track-side assembly with the physical route (e.g. speed limits, etc.).
If specifications that are foreseen by, but not yet available in, this TSI for the verification of a Track-side assembly, the Track-side assembly shall be validated by appropriate field tests (to be defined by the contracting entity of this track-side assembly).
6.2.2.4. Assessment of maintenanceThe conformity assessment of the maintenance is in the responsibility of a body authorised by the Member State. The Annex F describes the procedure by which this body ascertains that maintenance arrangements meet the provisions of this TSI and ensure the respect of the basic parameters and essential requirements during the subsystem lifetime.

GeneralThis chapter outlines the strategy and the associated technical solutions for implementation of the TSI, notably the conditions underpinning the migration to Class A systems. Account must be taken of the fact that the implementation of a TSI occasionally has to be co-ordinated with the implementation of other TSIs.
Chapters 2 to 6 and any specific provisions in paragraph 7.3 below apply in full to control-command subsystem as defined by Directive 2001/16/EC.
7.2. Specific issues of implementation of the TSI control-command7.2.1. General migration criteriaWithin the control-command subsystem two classes (A and B) of train protection and radio communication systems are defined.
It is recognised that Class A cannot be installed on all existing conventional routes instantly for reasons which include economic considerations and installation capacity aspects. In the migration-period between the current (pre-unified) situation (Class B) and the application of Class A, there will be a number of possible interoperability solutions that might be implemented in the framework of this TSI. These solutions apply to both the European conventional rail infrastructure, including connecting lines, and to the European conventional rail trains. A number of illustrative examples are given below:

— | within ERTMS/ETCS provision is made for modules known as STMs (Specific Transmission Modules) to be added to ETCS to enable a train fitted with appropriate STMs to operate over existing pre-unified infrastructure. Another solution is that an infrastructure may be equipped with both Class A and Class B systems,
— | the implementation of GSM-R systems on a nation-wide basis has already started in a significant number of countries of the former EU15. The first inter-connections of these national networks are due in 2004. Other networks will follow shortly. Some railways have chosen a solution where mobile equipment is designed in such a way that it can work in both systems (dual-mode = GSM-R and >=1 analogue radio), others have taken the solution to have a double coverage on network-side but only single equipment on the trains. GSM-R does not have ‘STMs’. Cab radios that have additional interface-units for Class B radio systems (Dual-mode) are able to work also on lines in a Class B network if specially designed. This solution is only an interim solution to allow early exchange of international trains.7.2.1.1. Migration pathsThe existing systems as well as the future unified system have system components infrastructure-side and on-board. Therefore migration strategies have to be defined for both assemblies. This paragraph deals with migration paths from Class B to Class A by giving examples.
Migration strategies must pay special attention to the following distinction:

— | train radio (from Class B to Class A),
— | train protection (from Class B to Class A),
— | the train detection system,
— | the hot axle-box detection system,
— | EMC.Each of the above can follow a different migration path.
Possible migration paths from Class B to Class A are explained by means of the following examples for the train protection system.

Figure 2 shows a migration process, where all the initial investment is made on-board only. A possible technical solution is the so-called STM, which can be linked to the kernel of the ETCS on-board and which translates information from existing systems to a form that can be processed by the ETCS kernel. After the equipment of all vehicles of a railway fleet under consideration with the combination of ETCS kernel and respective Class B systems, the wayside equipment can be altered to ETCS or newly equipped lines can be built based on the ETCS system. The existing class B system on these lines can be removed.

Figure 3 shows the other extreme migration process. In this case, the respective railway would double equip existing lines with the ETCS system. After all lines have ETCS in addition to the national system, the on-board equipment of the rolling stock can be changed to ETCS. When all vehicles under consideration are equipped with ETCS, the wayside equipment for the national system can then be removed.

Figure 5 depicts an example, where ETCS on-board equipment in vehicles and ETCS wayside equipment on parts of the lines is installed alternatively. This method minimises the inception investment necessary to take advantage of the system as a whole (i.e. the on-board and trackside equipment in the sections where these are fitted). On the other hand, it implies a certain restriction in usage of rolling stock on the network.
The selection of the appropriate migration strategy depends largely on the mix between lines equipped, rolling stock equipped and planned purchase of new rolling stock and additional equipment of lines.
Also international corridors and international use of rolling stock should be considered. In case a line is not foreseen for migration and is only equipped with Class B the interoperable operation can be ensured by a STM for the Class B system concerned.
The migration steps, however, have to enable access of other railway undertakings to the network at any time. A vehicle equipped with the appropriate ETCS on-board equipment and the existing system as described in annexes B and C must always be able to run on the line under consideration.
7.2.2. Timing criteria7.2.2.1. IntroductionETCS and GSM-R are computer-based systems with a faster technology evolution and potentially a lower life expectancy than current traditional railway signalling and telecommunication facilities. As such, they call for a pro-active rather than reactive deployment strategy to avoid potential system obsolescence prior to system deployment reaching maturity.
Notwithstanding this fact, the adoption of a too fragmented deployment throughout the European rail network, mainly along the trans-European rail corridors, would give rise to major cost and operational overheads resulting from the needs to ensure backward compatibility and interconnection with a diversity of legacy facilities. Moreover, synergies in terms of time, cost and risk reduction might be reached by the reconciliation of common elements of different national implementation strategies — e.g. through joint procurement initiatives, collaboration in system validation and certification activities.
Whereas such pro-active implementation strategy does appears a must to underpin the whole of the migration process, the specific modalities to be adopted for the conventional rail network have to account for the current level and planned rate of deployment of these technologies as well as the relevant economic, operational, technical and financial factors that influence such an implementation.
Within this context, it is evident that a clear distinction is to be made between ETCS and GSM-R in view of the current status of migration throughout Europe and the magnitude and extent of the barriers underlying such a migration, a fact that commands a different rationale for the implementation of GSM-R and of ETCS on the conventional network. Such a distinct rationale will be delineated in fuller detail within the next paragraphs:
7.2.2.2. GSM-R — Rationale for DeploymentThe current magnitude of the GSM-R deployment activity throughout the whole of the European rail network (approximately 100 000 km nowadays in 11 out of the 15 States of the former EU15) and the four- to five-year time horizon that generally underpins the conclusion of such deployment works indicates that any deployment rationale will have to confront three main concerns:

— | to ensure the continuity of GSM-R service across borders avoiding the establishment of ‘black spots’ within some regions of the Community,
— | to reconcile the migration timings throughout Europe in order to significantly reduce the cost and time overheads associated with the potential needs to sustain double analogue/digital telecommunication infrastructures and on-board facilities,
— | to avoid a ‘two speed’ Europe between the former EU15 and the new Member States. Convergence needs to be achieved a target that is facilitated by the on-going programmes for major upgrading of the railway networks of the new Member States.7.2.2.3. GSM-R — Implementation rulesSet against this background, and taking into account that a GSM-R infrastructure is a telecommunication bearer for both high-speed and conventional rail applications, the implementation criteria now in force for the former applications should equally apply for conventional rail, e.g.

Trackside installations:
The fitting of GSM-R is mandatory in the case of:
—
new installations of radio part of a CCS assembly,
—
an upgrade of radio part of a CCS assembly already in service that changes the functions or the performance of the subsystem.
On-board installations:
The fitting of GSM-R in Rolling Stock intended for use on a line including at least a section equipped with Class A interfaces (even if superimposed to a Class B system), is mandatory in the case of:
—
new installations of the radio part of a CCS assembly,
—
an upgrade of the radio part of a CCS assembly already in service that changes the functions or the performance of the subsystem.
Legacy systems:
Member States shall ensure that the functionality of the legacy systems referred to in Annex B to the TSI as well as their interfaces is to remain as currently specified, excluding those modifications that might be deemed necessary in order to mitigate safety-related flaws of these systems. Member States shall make available the necessary information regarding their legacy systems that is required for purposes of development and certification of apparatus allowing interoperability of Class A equipment with their legacy Class B facilities.
In order to enable a pro-active implementation, Member States are also encouraged to promote and support the fitting of GSM-R in any renewal or maintenance-related work affecting the whole of an infrastructure already in service entailing an investment at least one order of magnitude higher than those associated with the installation of GSM-R facilities.
7.2.2.4. ERTMS/ETCS — rationale for deployment7.2.2.4.1. Introduction
As it stands nowadays, the case of ERTMS/ETCS on conventional applications has to be underlined by a different deployment rationale that accounts for the manifold complexity associated to a migration of signalling systems, to its associated costs and to the expected longer lifetime of the assets when compared to those of GSM-R. However, in no way such barriers should detract from the generic deployment principles exposed in paragraph 7.2.2.1, in particular, the necessity to keep the implementation momentum within acceptable levels notably on the major corridors and trunk lines of the trans-European rail network (TEN).
7.2.2.4.2. The ETCS-Net corridor concept
In order to reconcile the apparent conflicting objectives of avoidance of fragmented approach with the perceived constraints on investment it is deemed necessary to define a start-up core of rail projects where ERTMS/ETCS deployment can be indeed justified on an ‘end-to-end’ business/service perspective whereas not commanding unacceptable barriers in terms of implementation costs. In view of such over-ridding objectives, and after consultation of the sector, it was recognized that such core should be built upon a coherent set of priority corridors of the trans-European rail network. The objectives to be achieved with such an approach are three-fold:

(i) | to enable the creation of an interoperable rail backbone across Europe (coined hereafter as ETCS-Net) enabling the development of new and improved quality rail services that can ultimately heighten the competitive profile of rail transport notably in those market segments of major growth potential — e.g. international freight transport;
(ii) | to constitute a focus for trans-national co-ordination efforts and for concentration of financing instruments in view of an accelerated and wider-ranging deployment of ERTMS/ETCS across the main routes of the trans-European rail network;
(iii) | to move towards the conditions of ‘critical mass’ for ERTMS/ETCS to emerge as the natural market selection solution for new and upgrade signalling projects of the conventional rail network across Europe.An outline of the ETCS-Net is depicted below. A detailed listing of the corridors encompassed therein is attached in annex H.
In order to ensure the development of a coherent network providing a backbone for the development of enhanced end-to-end services the ETCS-Net as presented above builds upon both high-speed(4)and conventional lines. The deployment of ERTMS/ETCS on the former is governed by Decision 2002/731/EC whereas the implementation principles outlined below apply to the latter.
In view for such a backbone to contribute to a major re-engineering of international rail transport services in a credible time horizon from the perspective of the customer it is necessary to attach a relatively ambitious timeframe for its full realisation. Taking into account the range of parameters that impact on the latter (e.g. level of investment resources, engineering/project management capability of the railways and supply industry, needs for cross-border co-ordination of activities) a period of 10 to 12 years can be earmarked as an indicative timeframe for such a purpose.
7.2.2.4.3. The inception kernel
To enable the accomplishment of the implementation of the whole ETCS-Net within such a time horizon it is deemed necessary to kick-start the deployment process by earmarking a sub-set of projects (hereafter referred to as the inception kernel) where deployment of ETCS will be mandatory. The adoption of such an approach basically reverts to the deployment of a three-tiered perspective as depicted below:

EU Convencional Rail System
Inception Kernel
ETCS-Net
In order to minimise the financial impact of such a mandatory step the selection criteria for inclusion of projects within such Inception Kernel should notably account for the availability of Community funding to a level well above the amounts that can be normally earmarked for signalling works. The set of conventional rail priority projects established within the Trans-European Network guidelines (Decision No 884/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(5)as well as all those major rail construction/upgrading works funded under the framework of the Structural Funds (Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999(6)and/or Cohesion Funds (Council Regulation (EC) No 1264/1999(7)are to be considered as forming such an inception kernel.
The Inception Kernel is to constitute a steppingstone for the achievement of the full ETCS-Net deployment scenario as described above. However, the fulfilment of this latter objective requires the visibility of the deployment strategy (timing and planning of the works) that will underpin those national sections of the different corridors not encompassed by the ‘Inception Kernel’ criteria. In order to provide for such visibility, Member States will be required to elaborate national ERTMS implementation plans addressing a range of deployment issues which are outlined in paragraph 7.2.2.6.
The scope of the current ETCS-Net backbone might be revised in a subsequent phase (potentially during a future revision of this TSI) to account for the real progress of its implementation and for the ever evolving needs of the transportation markets.
The rationale in what regards rolling-stock has to account for the fact that ERTMS/ETCS is a system concept composed of infrastructure and on-board elements. As such it is crucial that any emergent deployment rationale considers these two system elements in a coherent manner as they both concur to enable system operation. Moreover, as in the case for infrastructure, appropriate consideration must be given to the minimisation of the financial impact of any mandatory step that might be imposed.
A ‘marginal cost’ approach, linking the fitment of on-board ERTMS/ETCS with major investment decisions, does constitute the best available route to ensure such a goal. This applies notably to the procurement of new rolling-stock or major retrofitting operations for which the value of the signalling equipment and of its installation represent only a limited percentage of the whole investment to be put in place. The adoption of such a policy will push in the longer-term for the scenario of ETCS on-board equipment as a commodity asset in what regards new rolling-stock.
7.2.2.4.4. A pre-fitment strategy
Pre-fitment covers the installation of any on-board or trackside ERTMS/ETCS and GSM-R equipment or other enabling equipment for ETCS and GSM-R (e.g. installation of cabling and wiring, ducts, mechanical fixtures, interfaces, power supply or other specific signalling or telecommunication facilities) aimed at reaching a certain stage of ERTMS readiness without fully implementing the Class A requirements.
The aim of such an approach is to ensure such ERTMS readiness by piggybacking such pre-fitment activities on major construction or upgrading operations of infrastructure assets or on factory-fit(8)of rolling-stock assets. This shall allow for the reduction of the implementation cost of full-fledged ERTMS/ETCS or GSM-R facilities complying Class A requirements at a later stage. However, the scope of ERTMS readiness has to set against the specificities of each project from a technical, operational and economic viewpoint as well as to the time horizon for the installation of the Class A compliant facilities.
It is therefore deemed necessary to establish a hierarchical approach to pre-fitment based on the concept of pre-fitment stages. It is expected these should range from the simple reservation of space, ducting, and fitment of mechanical fixtures (Stage 1) upwards to the installation of all components that are not affected by obsolescence within the nominal lifetime of the installation (Stage 3). The details of pre-fitment are to be defined by subset 57 (on-board) and subset 59 (trackside equipment) to be appended to Annex A.
7.2.2.5. ERTMS/ETCS — Implementation RulesAll the implications enumerated in the previous paragraph are to be eventually qualified as follows:

Trackside installations:
The fitting of ERTMS/ETCS is mandatory in the case of:
—
new installations of train protection as part of a CCS assembly,
—
an upgrade of train protection as part of a CCS assembly already in service that changes the functions or the performance of the subsystem.
for the set of railway infrastructure projects falling within one of the following criteria:
—
being part of the set of conventional rail priority projects established under the Trans-European Network guidelines included in Annex II of the Decision No 884/2004/EC,
—
commanding a financial support from Structural Funds (Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999) and/or Cohesion Funds (Regulation (EC) No 1264/1999) in excess of 30 % of the total project costs.
For any other new or upgrade projects not encompassed under these latter criteria and that are part of the Trans-European conventional rail network, as defined by the Corrigendum of 7 June 2004 to Decision No 884/2004/EC, the pre-fitting of equipment to pre-fitment stage 1 as defined under Paragraphs 7.2.2.4.4 and 7.2.3.2 shall be performed. Those lines included in the ETCS-Net backbone which are outside of the Inception Kernel shall comply with a Pre-fitment Stage 3 in what regards such a pre-fitting.
In order to enable a pro-active implementation, Member States are also encouraged to promote and support the fitting of ERTMS/ETCS in any renewal or maintenance-related work of the infrastructure that entails investments at least one order of magnitude higher than those associated with the installation of ERTMS/ETCS facilities.
On-board installations:
The fitment of rolling stock intended for operation on the conventional rail infrastructures where the fitting of ERTMS/ETCS is mandatory shall be in accordance with the national migration strategy once this is reconciled with the EU master plan as described in paragraph 7.2.2.6 with the exception referred to underneath.
The fitting of ERTMS/ETCS, complemented where necessary by the relevant Specific Transmission Modules (STM) to enable operation on Class B systems, is mandatory on.
—
new installations of the train protection part of a CCS assembly,
—
an upgrade of the train protection part of a CCS assembly already in service that changes the functions or the performance of the subsystem,
—
any ‘major retrofitting’ of rolling stock already in service (9);
for rolling-stock for cross-border operations within the inception kernel.
A pre-fitting ERTMS/ETCS to Pre-fitment Stage 1 as defined under Paragraphs 7.2.2.4.4 and 7.2.4.4 on
—
New installations of the train protection part of a CCS assembly;
—
An upgrade of the train protection part of a CCS assembly already in service that changes the functions or the performance of the subsystem.
for those rolling stock assets earmarked for operation in the trans-European transport conventional rail network as defined by the corrigendum of 7 June 2004 to Decision No 884/2004/EC. Pre-fitment stage 3 shall apply for those assets earmarked for operation on the ETCS-Net backbone.
Legacy systems:
Member States shall ensure that the functionality of the legacy systems referred to in Annex B to the TSI as well as their interfaces is to remain as currently specified, excluding those modifications that might be deemed necessary in order to mitigate safety-related flaws of these systems. Member States shall make available the necessary information regarding their legacy systems that is required for purposes of development and safety-certification of apparatus allowing interoperability of Class A equipment with their legacy Class B facilities.
7.2.2.6. National ERTMS implementation plans and EU master planSet against the deployment rationale exposé above and the mandatory rules specified in sections 7.2.2.3 and 7.2.2.4.4 Member States are deemed to prepare a formal national ERTMS implementation plan for the conventional rail network addressing the deployment of both ERTMS/ETCS and GSM-R.
Regarding ERTMS/ETCS the realisation of the ETCS-Net backbone as described in paragraph 7.2.2.4 shall constitute the reference baseline for the elaboration of such a national plan. The ultimate goal for the latter is to define a tailor-made set of obligations regarding ERTMS/ETCS deploymentin lieuof the generic prescriptions now embodied in the inception kernel. However, such built-in flexibility cannot detract from the level of obligation(10)already embodied in the inception kernel.
The national plans shall provide, in particular, the following elements:

— | target lines: a clear identification of the national lines or sections which are earmarked for implementation. This applies notably to the national sections of the trans-national corridors earmarked in the ETCS-net blueprint(11). Appropriate consideration is to be given in this context to the national ERTMS/ETCS implementation plans notified under Decision 2002/731/EC in what refers to the high-speed sections covered by the ETCS-Net backbone,
— | technical requirements: the essential technical characteristics of the different implementations (e.g. voice or data-quality network for GSM-R implementations, functional level of ERTMS/ETCS, ERTMS/ETCS-only or overlaid installations),
— | deployment strategy and planning: an outline of the implementation plan (including sequencing and timing of the works),
— | migration strategy: the strategy envisaged for the migration of both the infrastructure and rolling-stock subsystems of the earmarked national lines or sections (e.g. superposition of Class A and Class B systems, switch from Class B to Class A facilities at a planned date, migration based on the implementation of ETCS-based gap-filling solutions such as SCMT(12)or limited supervision),
— | potential constraints: an overview of potential elements that might impact on fulfilment of the implementation plan (e.g. signalling works integrating larger scope infrastructure works, assurance of continuity of service across borders).These national plans are to be finally aggregated within an EU master plan within six months of their notification. Such a master plan should aim at providing an appropriate knowledge base for decision support to the different stakeholders — in particular, to the Commission in the allocation of its financial support to railway projects — and, where appropriate, at reconciling the different national implementations in terms of time or implementation strategies where this is deemed necessary for the achievement of a coherent whole. This overall process can be represented as depicted below:

ETCS-Net
National ERTMS implementation plan
National ERTMS implementation plan
National ERTMS implementation plan
National ERTMS implementation plan
Reconciliation
EU Master Plan
In addition, the EU master plan shall include the outline of a rolling-programme to underpin the range of foreseen implementation activities from planning-through-to-realisation.
The EU master plan will be appended to this TSI through a revision procedure replacing the field of mandatory implementations now defined in the inception kernel. Subsequently,

— | all activities related to installation of control-command subsystems have to be justified by the awarding entities against this EU Master Plan in addition to all other applicable legislative requirements that are in force,
— | Member States will be requested to punctually adapt their national ERTMS implementation plans where this is deemed necessary to ensure reconciliation with the EU Master Plan. In particular, such a revision shall ensure that the migration strategy adopted by a Member State — notably for rolling stock — does not hamper the fulfilment of the ETCS-Net strategic goal and the access of new entrants in accordance with the timing and requirements called for by the EU master plan,
— | whenever the reconciliation of a national plan and the EU master plan is not feasible the mandatory prescriptions of the Inception Kernel shall remain of application for that particular Member State.Necessarily, the EU master plan and the national ERTMS implementation plans will be evolving documents that will have to be updated in order to reflect the real evolution of the deployment in each Member State and throughout the European rail network.
7.2.3. Implementation: infrastructure (stationary equipment)The following requirements apply to the categories of lines defined in Directive 2001/16/EC:

— | lines intended for passenger services,
— | lines intended for mixed traffic (passengers and freight),
— | lines specially designed or upgraded for freight services,
— | passenger hubs,
— | freight hubs including intermodal terminals,
— | lines connecting the above mentioned components.The control-command subsystem concerns two classes (A and B) of train protection and radio communication systems. The lines mentioned above presently not equipped with Class A shall be equipped either:

— | with Class A functions and interfaces according to the specifications referenced in Annex A, or
— | with Class A functions and interfaces according to the specifications referenced in Annex A and with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B, or
— | with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B and pre-fitting for Class A, or
— | only with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B.In case lines under the scope of the present TSI will not be equipped with Class A systems, the Member State shall make every effort for the availability of an external specific transmission module (STM) for its legacy Class B system or systems. In this context, due regard is to be given to the assurance of an open market for STM at fair commercial conditions. In those cases that due to technical or commercial reasons(13)the availability of an STM cannot be ensured within the appropriate time frame(14)the relevant Member State is deemed to inform the Committee of the reasons underpinning such a problem and the mitigation measures that it intends to put into place in order to allow access — notably of foreign operators — to its infrastructure.
7.2.3.1. Additional Class-B equipment on a Class A — equipped lineOn a line equipped with ETCS and/or GSM-R, additional Class B equipment is possible in order to allow the operation of rolling stock not compatible with Class A during the migration phase. It is allowed to use existing Class B equipment on-board as a fallback arrangement to Class A system: this does not allow an infrastructure manager to require Class B systems onboard the interoperable trains for running on such a line.
Where dual fitment and operation of Class A and B systems occurs, then both systems may be active simultaneously onboard, provided that national technical requirements and operating rules support this manner and that interoperability is not compromised. The national technical requirements and operating rules will be provided by the Member State.
7.2.3.2. Pre-fitting for Class AThe track side pre-fitting is defined as the installation of any ETCS and GSM-R equipment or other enabling equipment for ETCS and GSM-R (e.g. installation of cabling and wiring, interlocking interfaces, LEU or fibre optic backbones) which is fitted but not necessarily put in service aimed at reducing the implementation cost of full-fledged ERTMS/ETCS or GSM-R facilities complying with Class A requirements at a later stage. For ETCS the scope of the pre-fitting for the three-tiered structure of pre-fitment stages defined in paragraph 7.2.2.4.4 should adhere with the requirements set out in Index 59 of Annex A (pending).
The extent of the pre-fitting to be performed should be established during the implementation planning of the signalling or telecommunication facilities that are to be deployed. In particular, the network planning for GSM-R has to take into account at the earliest stage the inclusion of all services that have to be foreseen also in the future (voice, non safety critical data, ETCS).
7.2.3.3. Upgrading or renewal of the control-command track-side assembly or parts of itUpgrading or renewal of the track-side assembly may concern separately:

— | radio-system (for class B, only renewal is possible) ,
— | train protection system,
— | train detection system interface,
— | hot axle box detection system,
— | EMC characteristics.Therefore different parts of the control-command track-side assembly may be upgraded or renewed separately (if interoperability is not prejudiced) and concern:

— | EIRENE functions and interfaces (see sections 4.2.4 and 4.2.5),
— | ETCS/ERTMS functions and interfaces (see sections 4.2.1, 4.2.3, 4.2.5, 4.2.7, 4.2.8),
— | train detection system (see section 4.2.11),
— | hot axle-box detector (see section 4.2.10),
— | EMC characteristics (see section 4.2.12).After the upgrade to Class A system, the existing Class B equipment may remain in use simultaneously with Class A.
7.2.3.4. Registers of InfrastructureThe Infrastructure Register shall provide railway undertakings with Class A and Class B information, following Annex C requirements. The Infrastructure Register indicates if mandatory or optional(15)functions are concerned; the constraints on onboard configuration have to be identified.
In case European specifications for some interface(s) between control-command and signalling and other subsystems are not available at the moment of installation (e.g. electromagnetic compatibility between train detection and rolling stock), the corresponding characteristics and the standards applied shall be indicated in the Registers of Infrastructure. This shall be possible, in any case, only for the items listed in Annex C.
7.2.4. Implementation: rolling stock (on-board equipment)According to Directive 2001/16/EC each of the categories of rolling stock which are likely to travel on all or part of the trans-European conventional rail network must be subdivided into:

— | rolling stock for international use,
— | rolling stock for national use,taking due account of the local, regional or long-distance use of the stock.
Rolling stock mentioned above shall be equipped either:

— | with Class A functions and interfaces according to the specifications referenced in Annex A, or
— | with Class A functions and interfaces according to the specifications referenced in Annex A and with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B, or
— | with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B and pre-fitment for Class A, or
— | only with Class B functions and interfaces according to Annex B, or
— | as in section 7.2.5.2.such as to allow it to travel on any line on which it is expected to operate.
7.2.4.1. Rolling stock with Class A equipment onlyThe Class A assembly shall ensure that the onboard functions, interfaces and minimum performance required by this TSI are matched to the lines concerned as described in Annex C. Installation of Class A equipment may take advantage from additional interface specifications between rolling stock and control-command.
7.2.4.2. Rolling stock with Class B equipment onlyThe Class B equipment shall ensure that the onboard functions, interfaces and minimum performance required by this TSI are matched to the lines concerned as described in Annex C.
7.2.4.3. Rolling stock with Class A and Class B equipmentRolling stock may be equipped with both Class A and Class B systems to enable operations on several lines. The Class B systems may be implemented

— | using an STM that may be plugged into the Class A assembly (external STM), or
— | built into the Class A assembly.Also, the Class B system could be implemented independently (or, in case of upgrade or renewal, be left as it is), in case of Class B systems for which an STM is not an economically viable alternative, from the rolling stock owner’s point of view. However, if a STM is not used, the Railway Undertaking must ensure that the absence of a ‘handshake’ (= handling, by ETCS, of transitions between Class A and Class B on track-side) nevertheless is properly managed. The Member State may put requirements on this in the Infrastructure Register.
When running on a line which is equipped with both Class A and Class B systems, the Class B systems may act as fallback arrangement for the Class A system if the train is equipped with both Class A and Class B systems. This cannot be a requirement for interoperability and is not valid for GSM-R.
7.2.4.4. Pre-fitting for Class AThe on-board pre-fitting is defined as the installation of any ETCS and GSM-R equipment or other enabling equipment for ETCS and GSM-R (e.g. installation of cabling and wiring, antennas, sensors, power supply or installation fixtures) which is fitted but not necessarily put in service aimed at reducing the implementation cost of full-fledged ERTMS/ETCS or GSM-R facilities complying with the Class A requirements at a later stage. For ETCS the scope of the pre-fitting for the three-tiered structure of pre-fitment stages defined in paragraph 7.2.2.4.4 should adhere with the requirements set out in Index 57 of Annex A (pending).
The extent of the pre-fitting to be performed should be established during the engineering phase of the on-board signalling or telecommunication facilities. Pre-fitting may take advantage from additional interface specifications between the subsystems rolling stock and control-command.
7.2.4.5. Reverse STMSee section 7.2.5.2.
7.2.4.6. Upgrading or renewal the control-command on-board assembly or parts of itUpgrading or renewal of the on-board assembly may concern separately:

— | radio-system (Class B to Class A),
— | train protection system (Class B to Class A).Therefore different parts of the control-command on-board assembly may be performed or upgraded separately (if interoperability is not prejudiced) and concern:

— | EIRENE functions and interfaces (see sections 4.2.4 and 4.2.5),
— | ETCS/ERTMS functions and interfaces (see sections 4.2.1, 4.2.3, 4.2.5, 4.2.7, 4.2.8).After the upgrade to Class A system, the existing Class B equipment may remain in use simultaneously with Class A.
7.2.4.7. Registers of rolling stockThe Rolling Stock Register shall provide information following Annex C requirements.
In case TSI requirements for some interface(s) between control-command and signalling and other subsystems are not available at the moment of installation (e.g. electromagnetic compatibility between train detection and Rolling Stock, climatic conditions and physical conditions in which the train can work, geometric parameters of the train like length, maximal distance of axles in the train, length of the nose of the first and of the last car of the train, braking parameters), the corresponding characteristics and the standards applied shall be indicated in the Registers of Rolling Stock. This shall be possible, only for the items listed in Annex C.
Remark: for every implementation of control-command subsystem on a given line, Annex C gives the list of the requirements for the onboard, to be addressed in the Registers of Infrastructure, indicating if these requirements concern mandatory or optional(16)functions and identifying constraints on train configuration.
7.2.5. Particular migration paths7.2.5.1. Specific solution for partial additional use of Class A systemIn a migration phase when only part of the fleet is equipped with an onboard system able to handle Class A, it may be necessary to have both systems fully or partially installed on a line.
For ETCS there is no functional link between the two onboard systems except to manage transitions during train operation (and with exception to satisfy the needs of the STMs for Class B systems when STMs are used).
For ETCS from a purely functional point, a system may also be built combining components from the unified and a pre-unified system. An example is the combination of an ETCS Level 1 using Eurobalise as a spot transmission means and an infill function not based on a unified solution, but on a national system. This solution requires an on-board data link between the unified and the pre-unified system. Therefore, the solution is not in accordance with either Class A or Class B and is not interoperable.
There is, however, the possibility to use the combination as a national enhancement of an interoperable line. This is only permitted if trains not equipped with the data link between both systems can operate either on the unified or on the pre-unified system without information from the other system. If this is not possible, the line cannot be declared interoperable for the control-command subsystem.
7.2.5.2. Specific solution for partial alternative use of ETCS Class A airgapAn infrastructure may also be used for the movement of trains not compliant with the requirements of this TSI, according to Article 5(6) of Directive 2001/16/EC, provided this does not create prejudice to the fulfilment of essential requirements.
Such trains receive information from a Class B signalling infrastructure via Class A track-to-train communication.
7.2.5.3. Competition criteriaAny action to allow the movement of interoperable trains on other infrastructures or the movement of not interoperable trains on interoperable infrastructures shall ensure that free competition between suppliers is not prejudiced.
Specially, knowledge about relevant interfaces between already installed equipment and new equipment to be purchased shall be put at the disposal of all the interested suppliers.
7.2.6. Conditions under which optional functions are requiredAccording to the characteristics of the track-side control-command track-side assembly and its interfaces with other subsystems, some track-side functionality not classified as mandatory, may have necessarily to be implemented in certain applications to comply with the essential requirements.
The track-side implementation of national or optional-functions must not prevent the entry onto that infrastructure for a train that complies only with the mandatory requirements of Onboard Class A system except as required for the following on-board optional functions:

— | an ETCS Level 3 Track-side application requires train integrity supervision onboard,
— | an ETCS Level 1 Track-side application with infill requires corresponding in-fill functionality onboard if the release speed is set to zero for safety reasons (e.g. protection of danger points),
— | when ETCS requires data transmission by radio, the data transmission services of GSM-R must fulfil the ETCS data transmission requirements,
— | an onboard assembly, which incorporates a KER STM, may require to implement the K-interface.7.3. Management of change7.3.1. IntroductionChange is a facet inherent to any kind of computer-based systems used in real-world environments. It is prompted by the emergence of new requirements or by changes to existing requirements either due to errors reported in operation or the need of improvements in performance or other non-functional characteristics.
But change has to be managed as it is underpinned by safety-critical considerations and by backward compatibility objectives so as to provoke minimal time and cost overheads to the operation of already deployed ERTMS(17)equipment (i.e. legacy ERTMS facilities). It is therefore crucial to define a clear strategy of how to implement and manage change to legacy ERTMS equipment to avoid disruption to railway operations without undermining the underlying objectives of guaranteeing safety and interoperability. Two main issues underpin the definition of such a strategy:

— | the establishment of a Configuration Management framework defining the standards and procedures for managing system evolution. This should include how to record and process proposed system changes, how to relate these changes to system components and how to track system releases,
— | a policy for release of system baselines.7.3.2. BaseliningSystem stability is essential so that actual implementation and deployment can be realistic. This need for stability is akin to all parties:

— | the infrastructure managers and the railway operators that will have to handle various versions of ERTMS/ETCS or GSM-R,
— | the industry that needs time to specify, develop and prove continued interoperability.A baseline in essence embodies the concept of a stable kernel in terms of system functionality, performance and other non-functional characteristics (e.g. RAMS)(18). However, past experience with this type of systems has shown that a number of version releases(19)are needed to achieve a stable and implementation-suitable baseline. This can be illustrated as a cascade process as follows:

Specification
Working revisions
Development
Flaw corrections
Interoperability proving
Flaw corrections
Set of consolidated Spec
= a baseline
Through its feedback loops such a process is highly intertwined. This precludes putting several of those processes in parallel an approach that would lead to unstable and confusing and operationally hampering situations. Baselines have then to be processed in a series rather than in a parallel manner as illustrated below for the specific case of ERTMS/ETCS(20):

Current consolidation
4 years between baselines
7.3.3. The ERTMS consolidation phaseThe first baseline of the ERTMS specifications (both ETCS and GSM-R) was appended to the TSI Command/Control and Signalling for high-speed (reference Decision 2002/731/EC). A new version release of these specifications was issued recently (Decision 2004/447/EC). It included minor functional and system changes whereas laying down the foundation of a structured approach for conformity assessment of the on-board command/control equipment.
The current on-going consolidation process for ERTMS (both ETCS and GSM-R) is clearly focused on two main issues:

— | the consolidation of the current baseline in order it becomes a more robust reference for interoperability, and
— | the closure of a number of still standing operational and technical open points.This work relies on the feedback from current pilots, early commercial applications as well as on structured program of cross-tests with products from different suppliers. It should eventually lead to the release of a new baseline to be put under configuration management during the first half of 2005.
During this phase it may be necessary to make special, mutual agreements between infrastructure managers and railway undertakings for using Class A systems.
7.3.4. Baseline releaseBased on current experience the timing between different baselines can be estimated to be approximately four to five years for ETCS and approximately two years for GSM-R.
A new baseline should in principle be linked with significant modifications of the system functionality or system performance. This could include aspects such as:

— | the incorporation of a set of today’s national functions, where these can be generalised, within the interoperable kernel,
— | the set-up of additional interoperability constituents on the ETCS on-board and trackside,
— | GSM-R-based value-added services.Each baseline should also embrace the functionality of the previous baseline. Debugging versions to repair system faults or safety shortcomings should be handled as a version release of a particular baseline. Unless prevented by safety implications such version releases within the same baseline are to be backward compatible.
The added functionality that might be embodied in different baselines necessarily implies that different baselines are not backward compatible. However, in order to facilitate migration and in the extent possible from a technical view point, different baselines should encompass a common core of functionality for which backward compatibility should be ensured. Such a common core should provide a minimum kernel to enable interoperable operation under acceptable performance.
7.3.5. Deployment of new baselinesInfrastructure managers and railway operators will never be in a position to switch from one baseline to the next over night. Henceforth, each baseline has to developed hand-in-hand with an appropriate migration strategy. This is to address problems such as co-existence of ETCS and GSM-R facilities compliant with different versions of the ETCS or GSM-R specifications, preferred paths of migration (e.g. trackside priority, rolling-stock priority or simultaneous) as well as the indicative timeframes and the priorities for the migration.
7.3.6. Change management process — the requirementsAs discussed earlier change is a fact of life for large software based systems. Henceforth, change management procedures should be designed to ensure that the costs and benefits of change are properly analysed and that changes are implemented in a controlled way. This requires the defined change management process and associated tools to ensure that changes are recorded and applied to the specifications in a cost-effective manner. Whatever the specific details of such a process might eventually be the latter should be broadly mapped on a structured approach as follows:

A configuration management plan embodying the set of standards and procedures for change management should underpin the whole of the change management process as described above. The generic requirements for such a plan are described in paragraph 7.3.7 below. The implementation strategy for the approved changes should be formalised (on the basis of due process and due documentation) into a change management plan that includes notably

— | the identification of thetechnical constraintsunderpinning the change,
— | a statement of who takesresponsibilityfor the change implementation procedures,
— | thevalidationprocedure for the changes to be implemented,
— | thepolicyfor change management, release, migration and roll-out.7.3.7. Configuration management plan — the requirementsThe configuration management plan should describe the set of standards and procedures for change management encompassing notably:

— | the definition of whatentitiesare to be managed and a formal scheme for identifying these entities,
— | a statement of who takesresponsibilityfor the configuration management procedures and for submitting controlled entities to the configuration management decision structure,
— | theconfiguration managementpolicies that are to be used for change control and version management,
— | a description of therecordsof the configuration management process which should be maintained,
— | a description of thetoolsto be used for configuration management and the process to be applied when using these tools,
— | a definition of theconfiguration databasewhich will be used to record configuration information.The specific details of the configuration management processes for ETCS and GSM-R are to be formalised through specifications to be incorporated in the list included under Annex A to this TSI, respectively, under Index 60 (for ETCS) and Index 61 (for GSM-R).
7.3.8. GovernanceThe management of change of the ERTMS/ETCS and GSM-R specifications is to be placed under the aegis of the European Railway Agency (ERA) established by Regulation (EC) No 881/2004. The ERA will be responsible for mastering the change management process, including the delivery of the specifications, its quality assurance and configuration management.
This way the ERA will play the centre role of system authority centralising and ensuring the overall coherence of a process that is nowadays fragmented through a number of different parties as evidenced in the table below:

Responsibility | ERTMS/ETCS | GSM-R
Delivery of specifications | ERTMS users’ group, UIC and UNISIG | EIRENE group, ERIG and GSM-R industry group
Quality assurance | ERTMS users’ group | EIRENE group, ERIG and ERTMS users’ group
Configuration management | AEIFIn its role of system authority the ERA will ensure the cooperation of a representative cross-section of the stakeholders in the process — e.g. infrastructure managers, railway undertakings, supply industry, notified bodies and safety authorities — for the performance of its duties. These parties should notably:

(i) | Provide input for the process in terms of:—specification of functional and operational interoperability requirements. This will be primarily the role to be played by the railway undertakings and infrastructure managers,—definition of technical standards including those assuring technical interoperability for ERTMS/ETCS and GSM-R emerging from representative industrial groupings such as UNISIG and the GSM-R industry group. | — | specification of functional and operational interoperability requirements. This will be primarily the role to be played by the railway undertakings and infrastructure managers, | — | definition of technical standards including those assuring technical interoperability for ERTMS/ETCS and GSM-R emerging from representative industrial groupings such as UNISIG and the GSM-R industry group.

— | definition of technical standards including those assuring technical interoperability for ERTMS/ETCS and GSM-R emerging from representative industrial groupings such as UNISIG and the GSM-R industry group.
(ii) | Be part of the change control board (CCB) to be established for the management of change requests as referred to in paragraph 7.3.6. The CCB should ensure a system perspective on the changes that are to be made and a global assessment of their implications.A coordinated handover needs to be ensured between the current AEIF-led and the ERA-led change management structures. For this handover to happen in a smooth manner it is deemed essential:

— | to formalise and document the current change management process within the set of documentation referred to in Annex A in order this is taken as baseline for ensuring the continuity and the quality of the change management work,
— | to foresee a period of transition of approximately 12 months where the two structures will operate in parallel following amodus operandito be agreed between the two parties.The ERA will start-up its formal change management activity from the 2005 baseline emerging from the consolidation phase as referred to in paragraph 7.3.3.

USE OF ANNEX B

ANNEX BCLASS BCONTENTS
— | Use of Annex B |
— | Part 1: Signalling |
— | Part 2: Radio |
— | Part 3: Transition matrix | This Annex presents the train protection, control and warning systems and radio systems that pre-date the introduction of the Class A train control systems and radio systems and that are authorised for use on the European high speed and conventional network up to speed limits defined by the appropriate Member State. These Class B systems were not developed under unified European specifications, and therefore there may be proprietary specification rights with their suppliers. The provision and maintenance of these specifications shall not conflict with national regulations — especially those concerning patents.
During the migration phase in which these systems will be gradually replaced by the unified system, there will be a need to manage the engineering specifications in the interests of interoperability. This is the responsibility of the Member State concerned or its representative in co-operation with the respective system supplier in accordance with both control-command TSIs for the trans-European high-speed and conventional rail systems.
Railway undertakings needing to install one or more of these systems on their trains shall refer to the appropriate Member State. Annex C manages the corresponding geographical distribution of each system, requiring for each line a Register of Infrastructure describing the equipment type and the associated operational arrangements. By means of the Register of Infrastructure the infrastructure manager ensures the coherence between the control-command track-side assembly and the rule book under his authority.
The Member State shall provide to the railway undertaking the advice necessary to obtain a safe installation compatible with the requirements of both TSIs and Annex C.
The Class B installations shall include the fallback arrangements, as required by Annex C.
For the Class B systems, this Annex provides basic information. For each system listed, the Member State identified shall guarantee that its interoperability is maintained and shall provide the information required for the purposes of its application, in particular the information relevant to its approval.

Description:ALSN is a system of in-cab signalling and train auto-stop equipment. It is installed on major lines of Latvian Railway and neighbouring countries: Lithuania and Estonia.(For information only: it is installed as well as on railways of Russian Federation and Belarus).
The system consists of coded track circuits (TC) and on-board equipment.
The track circuits are of rather conventional design with receivers based on relay technique.
Open lines are equipped with:

— | coded TC’s of alternating current (AC) with frequency of 50(1), 75 or 25 Hz; or
— | continuous TC’s, which ensure switching-on coding mode towards an approaching train depending on the train direction:—TC’s with frequency of 50, 75 or 25 Hz of AC for continuous mode and with frequency of 50, 75 or 25 Hz for coding mode;—DC TC’s. | — | TC’s with frequency of 50, 75 or 25 Hz of AC for continuous mode and with frequency of 50, 75 or 25 Hz for coding mode; | — | DC TC’s.
— | TC’s with frequency of 50, 75 or 25 Hz of AC for continuous mode and with frequency of 50, 75 or 25 Hz for coding mode;

— | continuous TC’s which ensure switching-on coding mode towards an approaching train depending on the train direction:—TC’s with frequency of 50, 75, 25 Hz or audio-frequency of AC for continuous mode and with frequency of 50, 75 and 25 Hz for coding mode; or—DC TC’s. | — | TC’s with frequency of 50, 75, 25 Hz or audio-frequency of AC for continuous mode and with frequency of 50, 75 and 25 Hz for coding mode; or | — | DC TC’s.
— | TC’s with frequency of 50, 75, 25 Hz or audio-frequency of AC for continuous mode and with frequency of 50, 75 and 25 Hz for coding mode; or
— | DC TC’s.The on-board equipment consists of an electronic amplifier; a relay-based decoder; an electro-pneumatic valve for switching on/off braking system; a light signal, representing aspects of field-side signals, and a vigilance handle for confirmation of received information by a driver.
The system is safety-related, not fail-safe since it is a supplement to field-side signals, but safe enough to supervise the driver.
The data transmission between coded track circuits and on-board equipment is via inductively coupled air coil pickup antennae above the rails.
The system is intended to operate with train movement speed up to 160 km/h.

Track-to-train communication is based on magnetically coupled resonant circuits in such a way that nine different data can be transmitted. A resonant circuit track-side is tuned to a frequency representing the signal aspect. The magnetically coupled on-board PLL is locked to the track-side frequency. The system is safety related, not fail safe, but safe enough to supervise the driver. It reminds the driver of the signalling conditions and obliges him to acknowledge restrictive aspects.
The track-side and on-board units are of conventional design.
Main Characteristics:

GW ATP SCHEMEDescription:The GW ATP is an automatic train protection (ATP) system used in the UK on the Great Western (GW) lines between London (Paddington), Bristol Temple Meads, Bristol Parkway and Newbury. The system is based on similar hardware to the TBL system used in Belgium, although there are some differences both technically and in operation.
The system is only relevant for trains which run with a speed higher than 160 km/h.
The system provides the following core functions:

— | Full automatic train protection where the train is fitted and operating over fitted infrastructure

KVBDescription:Standard ATP system in France on the network of SNCF. All electrified conventional lines are sprinkled with, for speed supervision, protection of dangerous points, and temporary speed restrictions. Implemented as 99 % on conventional lines. Partially installed on high speed lines for spot transmission and for supervision of temporary speed restrictions when speed levels are not provided by the TVM codes.
The system consists of track-side balises including signal encoders and on-board computerised equipment. The system is an overlay system to conventional signalling equipment.
The data transmission is between passive track-side balises (two to nine per signal) and an on-board antenna underneath the vehicle which also supplies the balise with energy when passing. The coupling between balise and on-board is inductive. This data transmission is also used for spot information not related to ATP (e.g. doors, radio channels).
Moreover, the kVB can be completed by a continuous transmission, to allow in-fill functionality (like Euroloop):
The in-fill is realised with a continuous transmission. This is done by a shift frequency modulation (FSK) with two carriers Fp at 20 kHz and 25 kHz (one for each track). The data to transmit are of binary type, in groups of 80 bits (64 are useful). An in-fill message needs three elements of 80 bits, successively transmitted. This is a so-called ‘long’ message.
The transmission of a bit set to ‘1’ is made b the emission of the frequency Fp + 692 Hz, the transmission of one bit set to ‘0’ is made by the emission of the frequency Fp — 750 Hz.

RETBDescription:Radio electronic token block (RETB) is a signalling system used on a small number of lightly used lines in the UK within the scope of the conventional interoperability directive (three lines in Scotland and one in Wales).
The system provides the following core functions:

— | Issuing of movement authorities from the signalling control centre to trains by means of electronic tokens, sent by radio to the train-borne equipment
— | Display of the movement authority to the driver
— | Surrendering the movement authority token when the train has completed the authorised movementThe RETB system is operated in conjunction with procedures for the driver-signaller communications protocol, which are applied when requesting, issuing and surrendering the movement authority tokens.
RETB does not include train protection functionality (therefore there is no interface between the train’s RETB equipment and the braking system). However, train protection against overruns is provided by standard TPWS equipment, described elsewhere in Annex B. The train-borne TPWS equipment includes AWS functionality (also described in Annex B), which provides audible and visual indications to the driver on the approach to the limit of a movement authority and on the approach to speed restrictions.
Train-borne equipmentThe train-borne equipment comprises the radio equipment and the RETB cab display unit (CDU).

Radio equipment
The radio system used for transmission of the movement authority tokens is a variant of the NRN system that is used in the UK (described elsewhere in Annex B). The radio equipment is used for both voice and data purposes.

Cab display unit (CDU)
The CDU comprises:

— | a key switch for switching the train-borne equipment into operational mode
— | a ‘receive’ button for receiving movement authority tokens from the control centre in order that a train movement can be made
— | an alphanumeric display, which displays the name of the section of line for which a movement authority token has been issued
— | a ‘send’ button for returning the movement authority token to the control centre when the train has completed its movementThe train must also be fitted with TPWS equipment (also including AWS functionality), for the purposes described above, but there is no interface between the TPWS and RETB equipment on the train.

RSDD/SCMT(Ripetizione segnali discontinua digitale/sistema controllo marcia del treno)Description:RSDD/SCMT is an ATP system; it can be used alone or superimposed on the BACC infrastructure.
The on-board equipment is able to manage in a coordinated way information coming from the different sources.
The system consists of track-side balises and encoders, and an on-board antenna which also supplies the balise with energy when passing. The coupling is inductive.
From the logical point of view, two kinds of balises exist: system balises containing information on the line ahead, and signalling balises containing information on the signals aspect.
Three types of balises are foreseen, all using the same frequencies for up- and downlink, but with different capacity:

— | Energising frequency:—27,115 MHz | — | 27,115 MHz

— | 4,5 MHz
— | 12/180 bit ASK Modulation
— | 1 023 bit FSK Modulation
— | Train characteristics:Fixed train characteristics are loaded in maintenance facilities, while data depending on train composition are inserted by the driver. Special balises are used to calibrate the on board odometer system, before it can be used for train supervision purpose.

SHPSamoczynne Hamowanie PociąguDescription:AWS system, which is installed in Poland on lines under consideration for Interoperability.
Magnetically coupled resonant circuits track-side and on-board transmit information to the train. The system is considered fail safe. It is integrated with on-board active vigilance system. The vigilance system is also protecting against uncontrolled vehicle movement (sliding) with speed above 10 % of the vehicle maximal allowed speed. It acts completely in background mode, that means that it does not give the driver any indications about signal aspects, it only indicates that the train is supervised.
Main characteristics:
— | Frequency:—1 000 Hz | — | 1 000 Hz
— | 1 000 Hz
— | Supervision:—1 000 Hz: Acknowledgement of a signal | — | 1 000 Hz: Acknowledgement of a signal

— | 200 m before line signals and station entrance signals
— | 0 m before (at) station exit signals
Reaction:
On-board signal lamp is activated, when train is passing resonant circuit (mounted track-side), requesting driver confirmation. If confirmation is not received within 3 seconds, an acoustic signal is activated. If confirmation is not received within 2 seconds after acoustic signal activation, system initiates emergency brake. The emergency brake can be released under special conditions.
The active vigilance system is activated when vehicle speed exceeds 10 % of vehicle maximal allowed speed. After 16 seconds signal lamp is activated and driver confirmation is required with the same timing as in SHP function. Then confirmation is required after each 60 seconds. The SHP supervision is retriggering 60 second vigilance check period.

— | the horn tone is not acknowledged within 2,5 seconds.
— | Immediately the train passes the speed trap at excess speed.
— | Immediately if the train passes a signal at danger.The technology is not processor based, but this is not excluded.
Other characteristics:
— | Sequence of magnetic fields (north pole, south pole) to provide details of signal clear or not clear.
— | One of a selection of sinusoidal electromagnetic fields in the region of 60 kHz for the speed trap and train stop functions (up to eight frequencies used).
— | Train characteristics in terms of braking capacity are set by train wiring and give different maximum speeds at speed traps. No train characteristics input presently in service, but can be envisaged.
— | Driver acknowledgement of a restrictive condition required within 2,5 seconds, otherwise the emergency brakes are called.

Introduction to UK SystemsThe system called NRN (National Radio Network) is installed over the whole of the UK rail network including the high-speed lines which are the backbone of the UK high-speed network. These consist of:

— | West Coast Main Line (London-Glasgow)
— | East Coast Main Line (London-Edinburgh)
— | Great Western Main Line (London-Bristol/South Wales)The system called cab secure is installed in high traffic suburban areas around London, Liverpool and Glasgow, some of which may include lines forming part of the high-speed network. In addition, all main lines in the south-east, including the existing Channel Tunnel Route from the coast to London (Waterloo), are equipped with the Cab Secure system.
Mainline passenger trains and freight trains are fitted with NRN whilst suburban and some intermediate traffic equipped with CSR. In general trains are only equipped with one form of radio but a few trains that travel in areas of both NRN and CSR is equipped with both forms of radio. This in particular applies to trains which are equipped with CSR but spend parts of their operating cycle outside the CSR infrastructure area.

FS ETACS and GSMDescription:The solution for radio train to ground communication working today at FS is primarily based on the use of services supplied by the public operator on the analogue (ETACS) and the digital (GSM) mobile cellular networks in the 900 MHz band. These networks have been implemented with an external subsystem, developed by the operator together with FS in order to manage some special features as requested by FS, related for example to:

— | addressing of train and station calls through functional numbers in place of the terminal number;
— | closed group features with specific barring conditions;
— | configuration and handling of specialised data bases directly by FS people to characterise access rights to services for each kind of users, and so on.Thanks to the wide radio coverage supplied by the two public cellular systems on the FS railway network, the general train to ground communication needs can be satisfied in this way.
The additional features were negotiated and implemented by FS in cooperation with the public service provider. They are implemented in highly reliable distributed computer systems. They are therefore part of the application layer in the ISO/OSI layer model.

TRS — The Czech Railways radio systemDescription:Railway radio communication system TRS is designed for the operational duplex communication between the running engine driver and a dispatcher or a signaller by means of the ribbon network along the track.
The system TRS enables duplex communication for conversation, routine information (commands, reports), general call and emergency call transmission and semiduplex communication between drivers by means of the retransmission in the base station reach, namely conversation and emergency call transmission. The system concept enables creating the special outfitting set which can operate in the simplex network on frequencies in band 160 MHz for simplex communication of engine drivers and other subscribers on a beforehand selected channel.
Selective calling with the train six-digits number shall be transmitted in the direction dispatcher (signaller) to driver, identification (by the train number) shall be transmitted in the direction train — dispatcher (signaller).
Routine information (commands and reports) transmission is realised by means of a telegram. System TRS is outfitted with the digital transmission in the coded form of a short telegram FFSK 1 200 bps in both directions. One of commands is assigned to the train remote stop that can be activated by a dispatcher or a signaller and causes vehicle emergency braking (if an adapter to ATP type LS 90 or driver vigilance equipment is present on-board).
System TRS is fully compatible at the control signals level in accordance with mandatory recommendation UIC 751-3. It means it is possible to accomplish the conversation, general calling and emergency call among the TRS and systems manufactured by other producers. Communication is accomplished on four internationally co-ordinated frequencies in the band 450 MHz range A according to UIC.

Estonian Railways train communication networkEstonian Railway’s train communication network has been equipped according to the Ministry of Transport and Communication of Estonia Declaration No 39 from 9 July 1999
‘Technical regulations for railway operation’.
Railways train radio communication network consists of two subsystems, namely track-to-train radio communication system and area (or regional) radio communication systems.
Track-to-train radio communication system provide voice communication with all types of trains and locomotives on main and branch lines within the country.
Area radio communication systems provide full radio coverage within operational area of railway stations for station operators and locomotive drivers.
With the integrated train radio communication network are covered all the lines and railway station around the country.
The main system for track-to-train radio communications Estonian Railways operate with SmarTrunk II decentralised (scan based) digital trunking radio communication system. This modular system contains components like dispatcher’s centre equipment, site repeaters, station operator radio terminals, mobile radios on trains and portable radios.
Trunking system main data:

— | VHF 146-174Mhz frequency band
— | 14 duplex channels
— | semi-duplex operationOn railway stations in local area communications Motorola GM350 and GM Pro series base radios operate on VHF simplex channels.
Motorola GM350 and GM160 radios on the trains can communicate with different radio infrastructures installed within the country, on main lines and in station areas.
Personnel responsible for safe and efficient railway operations have in use Motorola GP and P series portable radios.
To control rail traffic for trains coming from neighbour countries Latvia and Russia, Estonian Railways in parallel with the main communication network have still in operation special trans-regional train communication system on simplex channels 2 130 kHz and 2 150 kHz.
Responsible Member State: Estonia.
Lithuanian Railways train radio systemDescription:The train radio system (TRS) is an analogue simplex voice communication and used for operative train operation. All sections of LG network are equipped with this system.
The TRS is designed with use of track-side (distributive radio-sets (DRS)), and up to local radio-sets (LRS), connected to each other by a two-wires communication channel) and mobile (on-board radio-sets (BRS)) equipment.
Six frequencies in the band of 1 000 — 1 700 Hz are used for selective connection of LRS’s.

Part 3: Transition matrix between Class A and B systems (signalling)
PURPOSE OF THE MATRIX
This matrix is to provide a text concerning the scope of the transitions relevant for interoperability on the European high-speed and conventional rail networks.

INTRODUCTION
The following matrix gives an overview of the possible transitions between different Class B-systems as defined in this Annex and between Class A and Class B systems.
The matrix does not mandate any technical solutions for either the ERTMS/ETCS-system or the concerned STMs defined in this Annex. Those are documented either in the technical specifications of the control-command subsystem (referenced in Chapter 5 of both control-command TSIs for the trans-European high-speed and conventional rail systems) or in the relevant national documentation of the Class B-systems or the STMs, respectively. It is important to note that the matrix does not define any additional technical requirements for either the ERTMS/ETCS system or the STMs. The matrix provides information only about transitions that could occur on the high-speed and conventional rail networks.
The matrix can serve as a tool to assist with technical and economical decisions in the implementation of the Directives 96/48/EC and 2001/16/EC.
As far as transitions between two Class-B systems are concerned, the requirement for interoperability is that the technical solution for the transition is not in contradiction with the TSIs and, in particular, it is in line with the referenced documentation concerning the ERTMS/ETCS system. It must be stated, that the actual Class 1 specification only supports STM transitions (see SRS section 5.10 especially 5.10.3.11 and section 7.4.2.9). The operational regulation regarding transition between two Class B systems is regarded as national issue.

TRANSITION MATRIX
How to read the matrixThe diagonal of the matrix lists the Class A and all Class B systems relevant for the High-speed and Conventional Trans European Rail Networks.
Each field of the matrix is filled, either by a number (indicate that a transition is permissible between the systems in the column/row in which the field occurs) or by grey colour, to indicate that no transition exists, nor is any foreseen.
The number indicates the countries responsible for the specification of the transition and the associated procedures.
The transitions between the Class A and Class B systems (first column) shall be performed as described in the document SUBSET 035.
Example:

System C
System transitionsWhere a transition is performed by ETCS STM, the terms defined in the document SUBSET-035 should be used.
System transitions (Class A and B)The matrix identifies the required operational transitions. An operational transition is one in which one system takes over the responsibility for train supervision from another system. At such a transition the driver usually experiences one ore more of the following:

— | A change in the way the train movement is supervised
— | A change in how the driver interacts with the system

General requirements

ANNEX CLINE SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS AND TRAIN SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS TO BE PUT IN THE REGISTERS ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 24 OF DIRECTIVE 2001/16/ECAs stated in Chapter 7, the line-specific characteristics defined in this Annex shall be included in the Register of Infrastructure by the infrastructure manager.
As stated in Chapter 7, the train-specific characteristics defined in this Annex shall be included in the Register of Rolling Stock by the railway undertaking.
As stated in section 6.2 (control-command subsystem), as a pre-condition for operating a train, the corresponding Register of Rolling Stock and Register of Infrastructure have to be cross-checked for interoperability.
Annex C deals with those aspects of the control-command assemblies which are covered neither by Annex A nor by Annex B, and with the options permitted for Class A and Class B systems and interfaces (see Annex D, Figure 8).
Information on specific conditions on RS for operation of train detection systems must be indicated in the Registers.
Register of InfrastructureThis TSI allows some options of equipment, functions and infrastructure-related values. In addition, where TSI requirements do not cover the whole control-command track-side assembly, special requirements in the context of existing technical systems and in particular the use of specific operational requirements are possible and are the responsibility of the infrastructure manager.
Such information concerns for example:

— | choices in the frame of technical compatibility requirements listed in Annex A,
— | choices in the frame of technical compatibility requirements listed in Annex B,
— | EMC-values (because of the use of equipment which is not covered by TSI requirements, for instance axle-counter-systems),
— | climatic conditions and physical conditions along the line.This information has to be available for and used by the railway undertakings in the form of a line specific handbook (Register of Infrastructure) which can also contain other particularities of other TSI’s (e.g. the TSI Traffic Operation and Management contains in the Rule Book Annex B systems and degraded modes)
The Register of Infrastructure may be specific to one line or a group of lines having the same characteristics.
The objective is that the requirements and characteristics stated in the Register of Infrastructure and in the Register of Rolling Stock accord with the TSIs; particularly they must not be a hindrance to interoperability.
Register of Rolling StockIn the frame of this TSI, for the railway undertaking, some choices of equipment, functions and values related to the type of train are foreseen. In addition, because TSI requirements do not cover the whole control-command on-board assembly the infrastructure manager needs additional information concerning the use of Class B systems, and the characteristics of the train which are relevant for track-side non Class B systems. This information concerns, for example:

— | choices in the frame of technical compatibility requirements listed in Annex A,
— | choices in the frame of technical compatibility requirements listed in Annex B,
— | EMC-values (because of the use on the lines concerned of equipment which is not covered by TSI requirements,
— | geometric and electrical parameters of the train like length, maximal distance of axles in the train, length of the nose of the first and of the last car of the train, maximal electrical resistance between the wheels of an axle (in context with Annex A, Appendix 1 (rolling stock characteristics necessary to be compatible with train detection systems) because of the track-circuit design arrangement),
— | braking parameters for Class A system
— | braking parameters for Class B systems
— | general braking parameters
— | types of brakes
— | eddy current brake installed
— | magnetic brake installed
— | climatic conditions and physical conditions in which the train is specified to operate.This information has to be available for and to be used by the infrastructure managers by means of a train specific handbook (Register of Rolling Stock) which can also address the possibility or the need of auxiliary functions for the train to be manageable or to be managed by control-command functions, e.g. for passage of neutral sections, speed reduction in special circumstances depending of the train and line characteristics (tunnels) and particularities of other TSIs.
The Register of Rolling Stock can be specific to one train or a category of trains having the same characteristics
Lists of specific characteristics and requirementsThe following list is the mandatory requirement for the Register of Infrastructure and for the Register of Rolling Stock in order to describe sufficiently the specific characteristics and requirements, and to facilitate interoperability. The list deals only with technical issues, the operational issues are contained in the TSI traffic operation and management.
The requirements may be satisfied by the application of a standard. In this case, the reference concerned must be given in these handbooks.
Otherwise, any special requirements (methods of measurement) must be inserted into or appended to the Register of Rolling Stock and the Register of Infrastructure.
For Class B systems, the measures implemented in the context of the responsible Member State given in Annex B apply. The Register of Infrastructure shall include the following items:

— | responsible Member State,
— | name of Annex B subsystem,
— | version and placing into service date,
— | speed restrictions and other Class B specific conditions/requirements, due to system limitations,
— | further details according to the lists below.List of specific technical characteristics and the requirements associated with an interoperable line and with an interoperable train

30.9.2006 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 271/71
(1) A list of third countries or parts thereof from which Member States are authorised to import live fish, their eggs and gametes for farming in the Community and the animal health conditions and certification requirements for such consignments are established by Commission Decision 2003/858/EC of 21 November 2003 laying down the animal health conditions and certification requirements for imports of live fish, their eggs and gametes intended for farming, and live fish of aquaculture origin and products thereof intended for human consumption(2).
(2) Decision 2003/858/EC does not apply to tropical ornamental fish kept permanently in aquaria, and consequently the animal health conditions and certification requirements for tropical ornamental fish are not harmonised at Community level.
(3) There is a significant trade in ornamental fish with third countries and concerns have been raised with regard to the application of Decision 2003/858/EC with respect to ornamental fish.
(4) Certain third countries were included in Annex I to Decision 2003/858/EC for the purpose of export of cold-water ornamentals only. These countries should therefore appear in Annex I to this Decision.
(5) Currently, 14 Member States have drawn up national animal health certificates with different animal health conditions for ornamental fish. For the sake of simplification, for the Community Border inspection posts, for European ornamental fish industry, as well as for third country trading partners, those animal health conditions and model certificates should be harmonised.
(6) The specific animal health conditions and model certificates for ornamental fish, should be drawn up in line with the conditions and certificates laid down in Decision 2003/858/EC, taking into account the specific use of these animals in the Community, and animal health situation of the third country concerned, in order to prevent the introduction of disease that could cause significant impact to the farmed and wild fish stock in the Community if introduced and allowed to spread.
(7) Council Directive 96/93/EC of 17 December 1996 on the certification of animals and animal products(3)lays down standards of certification. The rules and principles applied by third-country certifying officers should provide guarantees which are equivalent to those laid down in that Directive.
(8) This Decision should apply without prejudice to Community or national provision on the conservation of species.
(9) The Member States and Third countries need some time to adapt to the new import certification requirements. This Decision should therefore not be applicable immediately.
(10) This Decision has been notified to Third countries for comments in accordance with the WTO agreement on sanitary and phytosanitary measures.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
(a) fish caught in the wild, imported for the purpose of being used as ornamental fish,
(b) ornamental fish imported by transshippers and wholesalers,
(c) ornamental fish imported into pet shops, garden centres, garden ponds, exhibition aquaria and similar businesses without direct contact with Community waters.

(b) the consignment complies with the guarantees, including those for packaging and labelling and the appropriate specific additional requirements laid down in the animal health certificate, drawn up in conformity with the model in Annex II, taking into account the explanatory notes in Annex III; and
(c) the fish have been transported under conditions that do not alter their health status.
(a) the fish originate from a country listed in Part II of Annex I to this Decision;
(b) the consignment complies with the guarantees, including those for packaging and labelling and the appropriate specific additional requirements, as laid down in the animal health certificate, drawn up in conformity with the model in Annex IV, taking into account the explanatory notes in Annex III; and

(1) Directive 89/556/EEC sets out the animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and importation from third countries of fresh and frozen embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species.
(2) That Directive provides,inter alia, that bovine embryos are not to be sent from one Member State to another unless they have been conceived by artificial insemination orin vitrofertilisation using semen from a donor sire standing at a semen collection centre approved by the competent authority for the collection, processing and storage of semen or semen imported in accordance with Council Directive 88/407/EEC of 14 June 1988 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species(2).
(3) Commission Decision 92/452/EEC of 30 July 1992 establishing lists of embryo collection teams and embryo production teams approved in third countries for export of bovine embryos to the Community(3), provides that Member States are to import such embryos from third countries only if they have been collected, processed, includingin vitrofertilisation, and stored by embryo collection teams included in the lists in that Decision.
(4) Following trade problems relating to new, stricter requirements for bovine semen used for fertilisation introduced by Commission Decision 92/471/EEC(4), the Commission adopted Decision 2005/217/EC of 9 March 2005 establishing the animal health conditions and the veterinary certification requirements for imports into the Community of bovine embryos(5).
(5) Decision 2005/217/EC allows for a transitional period expiring on 31 December 2006 for imports of bovine embryos collected or produced before 1 January 2006 and conceived using semen not fully complying with Directive 88/407/EEC on condition that such embryos are implanted into female bovine animals present in the Member State of destination and are excluded from intra-Community trade.
(6) The International Embryo Transfer Society (IETS) has assessed as negligible the risk of transmission of certain contagious diseases via embryos to recipients or offspring, provided that the embryos are handled properly between their collection and their transfer. That position is also that of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) as far asin vivoderived embryos are concerned. Nevertheless, in the interests of animal health, appropriate safeguards should be taken upstream with regard to semen used for fertilisation, in particular with respect toin vitrogenerated embryos.
(7) Community requirements for imports of bovine embryos derived by natural (in vivo) fertilisation and produced byin vitrofertilisation, in particular as regards semen used for fertilisation, should therefore be adapted.
(8) In the light of the risk assessment carried out by the IETS and in line with the recommendations of the OIE, the conditions governing imports ofin vivoderived bovine embryos should be simplified while stricter animal health requirements should be maintained for imports ofin vitroproduced embryos, with special restrictions where thezona pellucidahas been damaged during the process.
(9) In the interests of clarity of Community legislation, Decision 2005/217/EC should be repealed and replaced by this Decision.
(10) However, in order to enable economic operators to adapt to the new requirements set out in this Decision it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period whereby imports of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species collected or produced before 1 January 2006 may, subject to certain conditions, be imported into the Community according to the requirements set out in Annex V to this Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/556/EEC of 25 September 1989 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and importation from third countries of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species(1), and in particular Article 7(1) and Article 9(1)(b) thereof,
(1) Directive 89/556/EEC sets out the animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and importation from third countries of fresh and frozen embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species.
(2) That Directive provides,inter alia, that bovine embryos are not to be sent from one Member State to another unless they have been conceived by artificial insemination orin vitrofertilisation using semen from a donor sire standing at a semen collection centre approved by the competent authority for the collection, processing and storage of semen or semen imported in accordance with Council Directive 88/407/EEC of 14 June 1988 laying down the animal health requirements applicable to intra-Community trade in and imports of semen of domestic animals of the bovine species(2).
(3) Commission Decision 92/452/EEC of 30 July 1992 establishing lists of embryo collection teams and embryo production teams approved in third countries for export of bovine embryos to the Community(3), provides that Member States are to import such embryos from third countries only if they have been collected, processed, includingin vitrofertilisation, and stored by embryo collection teams included in the lists in that Decision.
(4) Following trade problems relating to new, stricter requirements for bovine semen used for fertilisation introduced by Commission Decision 92/471/EEC(4), the Commission adopted Decision 2005/217/EC of 9 March 2005 establishing the animal health conditions and the veterinary certification requirements for imports into the Community of bovine embryos(5).
(5) Decision 2005/217/EC allows for a transitional period expiring on 31 December 2006 for imports of bovine embryos collected or produced before 1 January 2006 and conceived using semen not fully complying with Directive 88/407/EEC on condition that such embryos are implanted into female bovine animals present in the Member State of destination and are excluded from intra-Community trade.
(6) The International Embryo Transfer Society (IETS) has assessed as negligible the risk of transmission of certain contagious diseases via embryos to recipients or offspring, provided that the embryos are handled properly between their collection and their transfer. That position is also that of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) as far asin vivoderived embryos are concerned. Nevertheless, in the interests of animal health, appropriate safeguards should be taken upstream with regard to semen used for fertilisation, in particular with respect toin vitrogenerated embryos.
(7) Community requirements for imports of bovine embryos derived by natural (in vivo) fertilisation and produced byin vitrofertilisation, in particular as regards semen used for fertilisation, should therefore be adapted.
(8) In the light of the risk assessment carried out by the IETS and in line with the recommendations of the OIE, the conditions governing imports ofin vivoderived bovine embryos should be simplified while stricter animal health requirements should be maintained for imports ofin vitroproduced embryos, with special restrictions where thezona pellucidahas been damaged during the process.
(9) In the interests of clarity of Community legislation, Decision 2005/217/EC should be repealed and replaced by this Decision.
(10) However, in order to enable economic operators to adapt to the new requirements set out in this Decision it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period whereby imports of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species collected or produced before 1 January 2006 may, subject to certain conditions, be imported into the Community according to the requirements set out in Annex V to this Decision.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

General conditions for imports of embryos

(1) Directive 94/28/EC lays down the principles relating to the zootechnical and genealogical conditions that apply to imports from third countries of certain pure-bred animals and their semen, ova and embryos.
(2) Pursuant to Directive 94/28/EC and without prejudice to Community legislation on animal health and public health the animals can only be imported as ‘pure bred’ or ‘hybrid’ if certain conditions are fulfilled. One of those conditions is that the animals are entered or registered in a herdbook or register kept by an authority as defined in that Directive and semen, ova and embryos can only be imported if they come from an animal which is entered or registered in such herdbook or register.
(3) Argentina, Bulgaria, Canada, Israel, Iceland, New Zealand and the United States have communicated to the Commission a list of authorities which they have approved for the keeping of a herdbook or register of pure-bred animals to be imported under Directive 94/28/EC.
(4) The list of authorities which are approved for the keeping of a herdbook or register in respect of the animals and products referred to in this Decision should therefore be established for the purposes of Directive 94/28/EC.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Zootechnics,

(3) Argentina, Bulgaria, Canada, Israel, Iceland, New Zealand and the United States have communicated to the Commission a list of authorities which they have approved for the keeping of a herdbook or register of pure-bred animals to be imported under Directive 94/28/EC.
(4) The list of authorities which are approved for the keeping of a herdbook or register in respect of the animals and products referred to in this Decision should therefore be established for the purposes of Directive 94/28/EC.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Zootechnics,

Article 2
Member States shall authorise the importation of breeding animals of the bovine, porcine, ovine and caprine species, their semen, ova and embryos as ‘pure-bred’ — or, in the case of porcine species also as ‘hybrid,’ — only if they are entered or registered in a herdbook or register kept by an authority listed in the Annex to this Decision.

(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming. There is a risk that the disease agent might be spread from wild birds to domestic birds, notably poultry, and from one Member State to other Member States and third countries through the international trade in live birds or their products.
(2) Cases of highly pathological avian influenza of the subtype virus H5NI are suspected or confirmed in several Member States. The Commission has already adopted interim protection measures. Taking into account the epidemiological situation, it is appropriate to take the necessary protection measures at Community level, to prevent that disease from spreading from wild birds to poultry.
(3) Where an H5 avian influenza virus collected from a clinical case in wild birds is isolated on the territory of a Member State and where pending the determination of the neuraminidase (N) type and of the pathogenicity index the clinical picture and the epidemiological circumstances justify the suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by influenza A virus of subtype H5N1 or the presence of that subtype has been confirmed, the affected Member State should apply certain protection measures to minimise the risk for poultry.
(4) The specific measures provided for in this Decision should apply without prejudice to the measures to be taken by Member States in the framework of Council Directive 92/40/EEC of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza(4).
(5) In the interests of consistency, it is appropriate to apply for the purposes of this Decision certain definitions provided for in Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC(5), Council Directive 90/539/EEC of 15 October 1990 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs(6), Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin(7), Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC(8).
(6) Protection and surveillance zones should be established around the place where the disease was detected in wild birds. Those zones should be limited to what is necessary to prevent virus introduction into commercial and non-commercial poultry flocks.
(7) It is appropriate to control and restrict the movement of, in particular, live birds and hatching eggs while allowing the controlled dispatch from the zones of such birds and products of avian origin subject to certain conditions.
(8) The measures laid down in Commission Decision 2005/734/EC of 19 October 2005 laying down biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza virus A subtype H5N1 from birds living in the wild to poultry and other captive birds and providing for an early detection system in areas at particular risk(9)should be implemented in protection and surveillance zones, independently of the defined risk status of the area where highly pathogenic avian influenza is suspected or confirmed in wild birds.
(9) Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (I) to Directive 90/425/EEC(10)provides for approved bodies, institutes and centres and a model certificate to accompany animals or their gametes between such approved premises in different Member States. A derogation from the transport restrictions should be envisaged for birds coming from and proceeding to bodies, institutes and centres approved in accordance with that Directive.
(10) Transport of hatching eggs from the protection zones should be permitted under certain conditions. The dispatch of hatching eggs to other countries may be permitted subject in particular to compliance with the conditions referred to in Directive 2005/94/EC. In such cases the animal health certificates provided for in accordance with Directive 90/539/EEC should include a reference to this Decision.
(11) The dispatch from protection zones of meat, minced meat, meat preparations and meat products should be permitted subject to certain conditions, in particular as regards compliance with certain requirements of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 and of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption(11).
(12) Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption(12)establishes a list of treatments rendering meat from restricted areas safe, and provides for the possibility to establish a specific health mark and the health mark required for meat not authorised for placing on the market for animal health reasons. It is appropriate to permit the dispatch from the protection zones of meat bearing the health mark provided for in that Directive and meat products subjected to treatment referred to therein.
(13) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption(13)authorises the placing on the market of a range of animal by-products, such as gelatine for technical use, materials for pharmaceutical use and others, originating in areas of the Community under animal health restrictions, because those products are considered safe due to the specific conditions of production, processing and utilisation that effectively inactivate possible pathogens or prevent contact with susceptible animals.
(14) This Decision should be reviewed in the light of the transposition of Directive 2005/94/EC by Member States.
(15) Following the notification of cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by influenza A virus of subtype H5N1 in wild avian fauna in Greece, Italy and Slovenia the Commission, in collaboration with the Member State concerned, adopted Decisions 2006/86/EC(14), 2006/90/EC(15), 2006/91/EC(16), 2006/94/EC(17), 2006/104/EC(18)and 2006/105/EC(19)concerning certain interim protection measures in relation to suspected cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza in wild birds in the respective Member State, which should be repealed.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of 26 May 2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC(3), and in particular Article 18 thereof,
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming. There is a risk that the disease agent might be spread from wild birds to domestic birds, notably poultry, and from one Member State to other Member States and third countries through the international trade in live birds or their products.
(2) Cases of highly pathological avian influenza of the subtype virus H5NI are suspected or confirmed in several Member States. The Commission has already adopted interim protection measures. Taking into account the epidemiological situation, it is appropriate to take the necessary protection measures at Community level, to prevent that disease from spreading from wild birds to poultry.
(3) Where an H5 avian influenza virus collected from a clinical case in wild birds is isolated on the territory of a Member State and where pending the determination of the neuraminidase (N) type and of the pathogenicity index the clinical picture and the epidemiological circumstances justify the suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by influenza A virus of subtype H5N1 or the presence of that subtype has been confirmed, the affected Member State should apply certain protection measures to minimise the risk for poultry.
(4) The specific measures provided for in this Decision should apply without prejudice to the measures to be taken by Member States in the framework of Council Directive 92/40/EEC of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza(4).
(5) In the interests of consistency, it is appropriate to apply for the purposes of this Decision certain definitions provided for in Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC(5), Council Directive 90/539/EEC of 15 October 1990 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs(6), Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin(7), Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC(8).
(6) Protection and surveillance zones should be established around the place where the disease was detected in wild birds. Those zones should be limited to what is necessary to prevent virus introduction into commercial and non-commercial poultry flocks.
(7) It is appropriate to control and restrict the movement of, in particular, live birds and hatching eggs while allowing the controlled dispatch from the zones of such birds and products of avian origin subject to certain conditions.
(8) The measures laid down in Commission Decision 2005/734/EC of 19 October 2005 laying down biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza virus A subtype H5N1 from birds living in the wild to poultry and other captive birds and providing for an early detection system in areas at particular risk(9)should be implemented in protection and surveillance zones, independently of the defined risk status of the area where highly pathogenic avian influenza is suspected or confirmed in wild birds.
(9) Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (I) to Directive 90/425/EEC(10)provides for approved bodies, institutes and centres and a model certificate to accompany animals or their gametes between such approved premises in different Member States. A derogation from the transport restrictions should be envisaged for birds coming from and proceeding to bodies, institutes and centres approved in accordance with that Directive.
(10) Transport of hatching eggs from the protection zones should be permitted under certain conditions. The dispatch of hatching eggs to other countries may be permitted subject in particular to compliance with the conditions referred to in Directive 2005/94/EC. In such cases the animal health certificates provided for in accordance with Directive 90/539/EEC should include a reference to this Decision.
(11) The dispatch from protection zones of meat, minced meat, meat preparations and meat products should be permitted subject to certain conditions, in particular as regards compliance with certain requirements of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 and of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption(11).
(12) Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption(12)establishes a list of treatments rendering meat from restricted areas safe, and provides for the possibility to establish a specific health mark and the health mark required for meat not authorised for placing on the market for animal health reasons. It is appropriate to permit the dispatch from the protection zones of meat bearing the health mark provided for in that Directive and meat products subjected to treatment referred to therein.
(13) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption(13)authorises the placing on the market of a range of animal by-products, such as gelatine for technical use, materials for pharmaceutical use and others, originating in areas of the Community under animal health restrictions, because those products are considered safe due to the specific conditions of production, processing and utilisation that effectively inactivate possible pathogens or prevent contact with susceptible animals.
(14) This Decision should be reviewed in the light of the transposition of Directive 2005/94/EC by Member States.
(15) Following the notification of cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by influenza A virus of subtype H5N1 in wild avian fauna in Greece, Italy and Slovenia the Commission, in collaboration with the Member State concerned, adopted Decisions 2006/86/EC(14), 2006/90/EC(15), 2006/91/EC(16), 2006/94/EC(17), 2006/104/EC(18)and 2006/105/EC(19)concerning certain interim protection measures in relation to suspected cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza in wild birds in the respective Member State, which should be repealed.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of 26 May 2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC(3), and in particular Article 18 thereof,
(1) Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and birds, causing mortality and disturbances which can quickly take epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce sharply the profitability of poultry farming. There is a risk that the disease agent might be spread from wild birds to domestic birds, notably poultry, and from one Member State to other Member States and third countries through the international trade in live birds or their products.
(2) Cases of highly pathological avian influenza of the subtype virus H5NI are suspected or confirmed in several Member States. The Commission has already adopted interim protection measures. Taking into account the epidemiological situation, it is appropriate to take the necessary protection measures at Community level, to prevent that disease from spreading from wild birds to poultry.
(3) Where an H5 avian influenza virus collected from a clinical case in wild birds is isolated on the territory of a Member State and where pending the determination of the neuraminidase (N) type and of the pathogenicity index the clinical picture and the epidemiological circumstances justify the suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by influenza A virus of subtype H5N1 or the presence of that subtype has been confirmed, the affected Member State should apply certain protection measures to minimise the risk for poultry.
(4) The specific measures provided for in this Decision should apply without prejudice to the measures to be taken by Member States in the framework of Council Directive 92/40/EEC of 19 May 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza(4).
(5) In the interests of consistency, it is appropriate to apply for the purposes of this Decision certain definitions provided for in Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC(5), Council Directive 90/539/EEC of 15 October 1990 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs(6), Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin(7), Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC(8).
(6) Protection and surveillance zones should be established around the place where the disease was detected in wild birds. Those zones should be limited to what is necessary to prevent virus introduction into commercial and non-commercial poultry flocks.
(7) It is appropriate to control and restrict the movement of, in particular, live birds and hatching eggs while allowing the controlled dispatch from the zones of such birds and products of avian origin subject to certain conditions.
(8) The measures laid down in Commission Decision 2005/734/EC of 19 October 2005 laying down biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza virus A subtype H5N1 from birds living in the wild to poultry and other captive birds and providing for an early detection system in areas at particular risk(9)should be implemented in protection and surveillance zones, independently of the defined risk status of the area where highly pathogenic avian influenza is suspected or confirmed in wild birds.
(9) Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (I) to Directive 90/425/EEC(10)provides for approved bodies, institutes and centres and a model certificate to accompany animals or their gametes between such approved premises in different Member States. A derogation from the transport restrictions should be envisaged for birds coming from and proceeding to bodies, institutes and centres approved in accordance with that Directive.
(10) Transport of hatching eggs from the protection zones should be permitted under certain conditions. The dispatch of hatching eggs to other countries may be permitted subject in particular to compliance with the conditions referred to in Directive 2005/94/EC. In such cases the animal health certificates provided for in accordance with Directive 90/539/EEC should include a reference to this Decision.
(11) The dispatch from protection zones of meat, minced meat, meat preparations and meat products should be permitted subject to certain conditions, in particular as regards compliance with certain requirements of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 and of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption(11).
(12) Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption(12)establishes a list of treatments rendering meat from restricted areas safe, and provides for the possibility to establish a specific health mark and the health mark required for meat not authorised for placing on the market for animal health reasons. It is appropriate to permit the dispatch from the protection zones of meat bearing the health mark provided for in that Directive and meat products subjected to treatment referred to therein.
(13) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption(13)authorises the placing on the market of a range of animal by-products, such as gelatine for technical use, materials for pharmaceutical use and others, originating in areas of the Community under animal health restrictions, because those products are considered safe due to the specific conditions of production, processing and utilisation that effectively inactivate possible pathogens or prevent contact with susceptible animals.
(14) This Decision should be reviewed in the light of the transposition of Directive 2005/94/EC by Member States.
(15) Following the notification of cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by influenza A virus of subtype H5N1 in wild avian fauna in Greece, Italy and Slovenia the Commission, in collaboration with the Member State concerned, adopted Decisions 2006/86/EC(14), 2006/90/EC(15), 2006/91/EC(16), 2006/94/EC(17), 2006/104/EC(18)and 2006/105/EC(19)concerning certain interim protection measures in relation to suspected cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza in wild birds in the respective Member State, which should be repealed.

8.2.2006 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 37/1
(1) In accordance with Article 2(c) of Directive 2001/16/EC, the trans-European conventional rail system is subdivided into structural and functional subsystems.
(2) In accordance with Article 23(1) of the Directive, the subsystem ‘noise’ needs to be covered by a technical specification for interoperability (TSI).
(3) The first step in establishing a TSI is to have a draft TSI drawn up by the European Association for Railway Interoperability (AEIF) which was appointed as the joint representative body.
(4) The AEIF has been given a mandate to draw up a draft TSI for the subsystem ‘noise’ in accordance with Article 6(1) of the Directive. The basic parameters for this draft TSI were adopted by Commission Decision 2004/446/EC of 29 April 2004 specifying the basic parameters of the noise, freight wagons and telematics applications for freight technical specifications for interoperability referred to in Directive 2001/16/EC(2).
(5) The draft TSI set up on the basis of the basic parameters was accompanied by an introductory report containing the cost-benefit analysis as provided for in Article 6(5) of the Directive.
(6) The draft TSI has been examined by the Committee set up under Article 21 of Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system(3), in the light of the introductory report.
(7) Directive 2001/16/EC and the TSIs do apply to renewals but not to maintenance-related replacements. However Member States are encouraged, when they are able to do so and where it is justified by the scope of the maintenance-related work, to apply the TSIs to maintenance-related replacements.
(8) The TSI regarding rolling-stock noise should not demand the use of specific technologies or technical solutions except where this is strictly necessary for the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system.
(9) The TSI is based on best available expert knowledge at the time of preparation of the relevant draft. Developments in technology, operational, safety or social requirements may make it necessary to amend or supplement the TSI. Where applicable, a review or updating procedure will be initiated in accordance with Article 6(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC.
(10) To encourage innovation and in order to take into account the experience acquired, the TSI could be subject to revision at regular intervals. This provision is detailed in Chapter 7 of the TSI.
(11) Conventional rail rolling stock currently operates under existing national, bilateral, multinational or international agreements. It is important that those agreements do not hinder current and future progress towards interoperability. To this end, it is necessary that the Commission examine those agreements in order to determine whether the TSI contained in the Annex needs to be revised accordingly.
(12) In order to avoid any confusion, it is necessary to state that the provisions of Decision 2004/446/EC which concern the basic parameters of the trans-European conventional rail system shall not apply anymore.
(13) The provisions of this Decision are in conformity with the opinion of the Committee as set up under Article 21 of Directive 96/48/EC,
(a) national agreements between the Member States and railway undertakings or infrastructure managers, agreed on either a permanent or a temporary basis and necessitated by the very specific or local nature of the intended transport service;
(b) bilateral or multilateral agreements between railway undertakings, infrastructure managers or safety authorities which deliver significant levels of local or regional interoperability;
(c) international agreements between one or more Member States and at least one third country, or between railway undertakings or infrastructure managers of Member States and at least one railway undertaking or infrastructure manager of a third country which deliver significant levels of local or regional interoperability.

The use of an equivalent track characterisation measurement method is also permitted, if available and proven. In that case, the track vertical and lateral decay rates of the test track must be shown to be equivalent to those of the track type mentioned in this TSI, measured in accor dance with the specification sheet presented in point A.2. The decay rates of the reference track shall lie above the lower limits given in Figure F2,

— the location index 0 is associated with the mid-point of the first sleeper bay. When the impulse is applied at this point (practically, as close to this point as possible), the point FRF is measured.
— the near-field measurements are carried out by applying the impulse, starting with the point FRF, at quarter sleeper spacing up to the end of sleeper bay 2, thence at half-sleeper spacing up to the middle of sleeper bay 4 and then at each mid-sleeper position up to sleeper bay 8.
— the far-field measurement use impulse locations from a distance of sleeper bay 8 from the accelerometer position outwards at the inter-sleeper positions, with the indices: 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 66,etc.as shown in Figure F4. The measurements need only be taken up to the point at which the response at all frequencies in the range becomes insignificant (with respect to the measurement noise). The coherence function provides a guide to this. Ideally, the response level in each one- third octave band should be at least 10 dB below the level of the same band at location 0.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/16/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2001 on the interoperability of the conventional rail system(1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
(1) In accordance with Article 2(c) of Directive 2001/16/EC, the trans-European conventional rail system is subdivided into structural and functional subsystems.
(2) In accordance with Article 23(1) of the Directive, the subsystem ‘noise’ needs to be covered by a technical specification for interoperability (TSI).
(3) The first step in establishing a TSI is to have a draft TSI drawn up by the European Association for Railway Interoperability (AEIF) which was appointed as the joint representative body.
(4) The AEIF has been given a mandate to draw up a draft TSI for the subsystem ‘noise’ in accordance with Article 6(1) of the Directive. The basic parameters for this draft TSI were adopted by Commission Decision 2004/446/EC of 29 April 2004 specifying the basic parameters of the noise, freight wagons and telematics applications for freight technical specifications for interoperability referred to in Directive 2001/16/EC(2).
(5) The draft TSI set up on the basis of the basic parameters was accompanied by an introductory report containing the cost-benefit analysis as provided for in Article 6(5) of the Directive.
(6) The draft TSI has been examined by the Committee set up under Article 21 of Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system(3), in the light of the introductory report.
(7) Directive 2001/16/EC and the TSIs do apply to renewals but not to maintenance-related replacements. However Member States are encouraged, when they are able to do so and where it is justified by the scope of the maintenance-related work, to apply the TSIs to maintenance-related replacements.
(8) The TSI regarding rolling-stock noise should not demand the use of specific technologies or technical solutions except where this is strictly necessary for the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system.
(9) The TSI is based on best available expert knowledge at the time of preparation of the relevant draft. Developments in technology, operational, safety or social requirements may make it necessary to amend or supplement the TSI. Where applicable, a review or updating procedure will be initiated in accordance with Article 6(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC.
(10) To encourage innovation and in order to take into account the experience acquired, the TSI could be subject to revision at regular intervals. This provision is detailed in Chapter 7 of the TSI.
(11) Conventional rail rolling stock currently operates under existing national, bilateral, multinational or international agreements. It is important that those agreements do not hinder current and future progress towards interoperability. To this end, it is necessary that the Commission examine those agreements in order to determine whether the TSI contained in the Annex needs to be revised accordingly.
(12) In order to avoid any confusion, it is necessary to state that the provisions of Decision 2004/446/EC which concern the basic parameters of the trans-European conventional rail system shall not apply anymore.
(13) The provisions of this Decision are in conformity with the opinion of the Committee as set up under Article 21 of Directive 96/48/EC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1
The Technical Specification for Interoperability (hereinafter referred to as the TSI) relating to the subsystem ‘noise’ of the trans-European conventional rail system referred to in Article 6(1) of Directive 2001/16/EC shall be as set out in the Annex to this Decision.

GeneralIn the scope of the present TSI, fulfilment of relevant essential requirements quoted in Chapter 3 of this TSI will be ensured by the compliance with the specifications described in Chapter 4 for the subsystem, as demonstrated by a positive result of the assessment of the verification of the subsystem, as described in Chapter 6.
Nevertheless, if part of the essential requirements are covered by national rules because of:

— | open and reserved points declared in the TSI,
— | derogation under Article 7 of the Directive 2001/16/EC,
— | specific cases described in point 7.6 of the present TSI,the corresponding conformity assessment shall be carried out according to procedures under the responsibility of the Member State concerned.
According to Article 4(1) of Directive 2001/16/EC, the trans-European conventional rail system, subsystems and interoperability constituents including interfaces shall meet the relevant essential requirements set out in Annex III to the Directive.
3.2. Essential requirementsThe essential requirements relate to:

— | safety,
— | reliability and availability,
— | health,
— | environmental protection,
— | technical compatibility.These requirements include general requirements, and requirements specific to each subsystem.
3.3. General essential requirements3.3.1. Environmental protectionEssential requirement 1.4.4 of Annex III to Directive 2001/16/EC: Operation of the trans-European conventional rail system must respect existing regulations on noise pollution.
As far as the rolling stock subsystem regarding noise emitted by rolling stock is concerned, this essential requirement is addressed by the specification of the subsections:

— | Pass-by noise (basic parameter 4.2.1.1 and 4.2.2.4),
— | Stationary noise (basic parameter 4.2.1.2 and 4.2.2.2),
— | Starting noise (basic parameter 4.2.1.3),
— | Interior noise of locomotives, multiple units and driving trailers (basic parameter 4.2.3).3.4. Aspects relating to essential requirements specific for the rolling stock subsystemThe essential requirements specific for the rolling stock subsystem are not relevant as far as noise emitted by rolling stock is concerned.
4. CHARACTERISATION OF THE SUBSYSTEM4.1. IntroductionThe trans-European conventional rail system, to which Directive 2001/16/EC applies and of which the rolling stock subsystem is a part, is an integrated system whose consistency must be verified. This consistency must be checked in particular with regard to the specifications of the subsystem, its interfaces vis-à-vis the system into which it is integrated, as well as the operating and maintenance rules.
Taking account of all the applicable essential requirements, the rolling stock subsystem regarding Noise emitted by rolling stock is characterised in the present Chapter 4.
This TSI is applicable to new vehicles, and renewed or upgraded rolling stock if required by the provisions of Chapter 7.2.
Point 4.2 of this TSI is applicable only for the putting into service of rolling stock according Article (14)(1) or 14(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC.
4.2. Functional and technical specifications of the subsystemIn light of the essential requirements in Chapter 3, the functional and technical specifications of the rolling stock subsystem regarding Noise emitted by rolling stock are as follows:

— | stationary noise (basic parameters 4.2.1.2 and 4.2.2.2),
— | starting noise (basic parameter 4.2.2.3),
— | pass-by noise (basic parameters 4.2.1.1 and 4.2.2.4),
— | interior noise of locomotives, multiple units and driving trailers (basic parameter 4.2.3).Infrastructure maintenance machines have to be considered as locomotives during transfer travel, but have not to comply with this TSI, when working.
4.2.1. Noise emitted by freight wagonsNoise emitted by freight wagons subdivides into pass-by noise and stationary noise.
The pass-by noise of a freight wagon is highly influenced by its rolling noise (noise of the wheel/rail contact) which is a function of speed.
The rolling noise itself is caused by the combined wheel and rail roughness and by the dynamic behaviour of the track and wheel-set.
The parameter set for the characterisation of pass-by noise comprises:

— | sound pressure level, according to a defined measuring method.
— | microphone position,
— | speed of the wagon,
— | rail roughness,
— | dynamic and radiation behaviour of the track.Stationary noise of a freight wagon will only be of relevance if the wagon is equipped with auxiliary devices like engines, generators, cooling systems. It is mostly applicable to refrigerated wagons.
The parameters set for the characterisation of stationary noise comprise:

— | sound pressure level, according to a defined measuring method and microphone position,
— | operating conditions.4.2.1.1. Limits for pass-by noiseThe indicator for pass-by noise is the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level LpAeq, Tpmeasured over the pass-by time at a distance of 7,5 m from the track centreline, 1,2 m above top of rail. Measurements shall be made in accordance to prEN ISO 3095:2001 except that the reference track shall meet the requirements stated in Annex A1.4. The reference track shall be made available in a non-discriminatory way.
The limiting values LpAeq,Tpfor the pass-by noise of freight wagons under the conditions stated above are given in Table 1.
Table 1Limiting values LpAeq,Tp for the pass-by noise of freight wagons
Wagons | LpAeq,Tp
New wagons with an average number of axles per unit length (apl) up to 0,15 m-1at 80 km/h | < = 82 dB(A)
Renewed or upgraded wagons according Article 14(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC with an average number of axles per unit length (apl) up to 0,15 m-1at 80 km/h | < = 84 dB(A)
New wagons with an average number of axles per unit length (apl) higher than 0,15 m-1up to 0,275 m-1at 80 km/h | < = 83 dB(A)
Renewed or upgraded wagons according Article 14(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC with an average number of axles per unit length (apl) higher than 0.15 m-1up to 0,275 m-1at 80 km/h | < = 85 dB(A)
New wagons with an average number of axles per unit length (apl) higher than 0,275 m-1at 80 km/h | < = 85 dB(A)
Renewed or upgraded wagons according Article 14(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC with an average number of axles per unit length (apl) higher than 0,275 m-1at 80 km/h | < = 87 dB(A)Apl is the number of axles divided by the length over buffers.
The pass-by noise of a train shall be measured at 80 km/h and at maximum speed, but less than 190 km/h. The values to be compared with the limits (see Table 1) is the maximum of the measured value at 80 km/h and the measured value taken at maximum speed but referred to 80 km/h by the equation LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(v)-30*log (v/80 km/h). Other speeds mentioned in the prEN ISO 3095:2001 shall not be considered.
4.2.1.2. Limits for stationary noiseStationary noise is to be described in terms of the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level LpAeq, T, according to prEN ISO 3095:2001, Chapter 7.5 with the deviations defined in Annex A. The limiting value for the stationary noise of freight wagons at a distance of 7,5 m from the track centreline of track and 1,2 m above the upper surface of the rails is given in Table 2. The indicator for the sound pressure level is LpAeq,T.
Table 2Limiting value LpAeq,T for the stationary noise of freight wagons
Wagons | LpAeq,T
All freight wagons | < = 65 dB(A)The specified level for stationary noise is the energy-average of all measured values taken at the measuring points defined in Annex A.1.1 of this TSI.
4.2.2. Noise emitted by locomotives, multiple units and coaches4.2.2.1. IntroductionNoise emitted by locomotives, multiple units and coaches subdivides into stationary noise, starting noise, and pass-by noise. The noise within driver’s cabs is also considered.
The stationary noise is highly influenced by auxiliaries, such as cooling systems, air conditioning and compressors.
Starting noise is a combination of contributions from traction components such as diesel engines and cooling fans, auxiliaries and, sometimes, wheel slip.
Pass-by noise is highly influenced by the rolling noise, linked to the wheel/rail interaction, which is a function of speed.
The rolling noise itself is caused by the combined wheel and rail roughness and by the dynamic behaviour of the track and wheelset.
At lower speeds the noise of auxiliaries and traction equipment is also significant.
The emitted level of noise is characterised by:

— | Sound pressure level, according to a defined measuring method,
— | Microphone position,
— | Speed of the wagon,
— | Rail roughness,
— | Dynamic and radiation behaviour of the track.The parameters set for the characterisation of stationary noise comprise:

— | sound pressure level, according to a defined measuring method and microphone position,
— | operating conditions.Multiple units are fixed trainsets either with distributed power or with one or more dedicated power cars and coaches. Multiple units with electric traction are abbreviated as ‘EMUs’, while those with diesel traction are abbreviated as ‘DMUs’. In this TSI the wording ‘diesel’ or ‘diesel engine’ includes all forms of thermal engine that are used for traction. Fixed formation trains that consist of two locomotives and coaches cannot be considered as multiple units if the locomotive can operate in different train configurations.
4.2.2.2. Limits for stationary noiseThe limits for stationary noise are defined at a distance of 7,5 m from the centreline of the track, 1,2 m above the upper surface of the rails. The measuring conditions are defined by the standard prEN ISO 3095:2001 with the deviations defined in Annex A. The indicator for the sound pressure level is LpAeq,T. The limiting values for the noise emission of the vehicles under the conditions mentioned are given in Table 3.
Table 3Limiting values LpAeq,T for the stationary noise of electric locomotives, diesel locomotives, EMUs, DMUs and passenger coaches
Vehicles | LpAeq,T
Electric locomotives | 75
Diesel locomotives | 75
EMUs | 68
DMUs | 73
Passenger coaches | 65The specified level for stationary noise is the energy-average of all measured values taken at the measuring points defined in Annex A.1.1 of this TSI.
4.2.2.3. Limits for starting noiseThe limits for starting noise are defined at a distance of 7,5 m from the centreline of the track, 1,2 m above the upper surface of the rails. The measuring conditions are defined by the standard prEN ISO 3095:2001 with the deviations defined in Annex A1.2 The indicator for the sound level is LpAFmax. The limiting values for the starting noise of the vehicles under the conditions stated are given in Table 4.
Table 4Limiting values LpAFmax for the starting noise of electric locomotives, diesel locomotives, EMUs and DMUs
Vehicle | LpAFmax
Electric locomotivesP < 4 500 kW at the rim | 82
Electric locomotivesP >/= 4 500 kW at the rim | 85
Diesel locomotivesP < 2 000 kW at the shaft | 86
Diesel locomotivesP >/= 2 000 kW at the shaft | 89
EMUs | 82
DMUsP < 500 kW/engine | 83
DMUsP >/= 500 kW/engine | 854.2.2.4. Limits for pass-by noiseThe limits for pass-by noise are defined at a distance of 7,5 m from the centreline of the reference track, 1,2 m above the upper surface of the rails for a vehicle speed of 80 km/h. The indicator for the A weighted equivalent continuous sound level is LpAeq,Tp.
The measurements shall be carried out in accordance with prEN ISO 3095:2001 with deviations stated in Annexes A1.3 and A1.4. The reference track shall be made available in a non-discriminatory way.
The pass-by noise of a train shall be measured at 80 km/h and at maximum speed, but less than 190 km/h. Other speeds mentioned in the prEN ISO 3095:2001 shall not be considered. The value to be compared with the limits (see Table 5) is the greater of the measured value at 80 km/h and the measured value taken at maximum speed but normalised to 80 km/h by the equation.
LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(v)-30*log (v/80 km/h).
The limiting values for the noise emission of electric and diesel locomotives, EMUs, DMUs and passenger coaches under the conditions stated above are given in Table 5.
Table 5Limiting values LpAeq,Tp for the pass-by noise of electric and diesel locomotives, EMUs, DMUs and passenger coaches
Vehicle | LpAeq,Tp@ 7,5 m
Electric locomotives | 85
Diesel locomotives | 85
EMUs | 81
DMUs | 82
Passenger coaches | 804.2.3. Interior noise of locomotives, multiple units and driving trailersThe interior noise level of passenger vehicles is not considered to be a basic parameter. However, the noise level within the driver’s cab is an important issue. Noise levels in the cab must be kept as low as possible, by limiting the noise at the source and by appropriate additional measures (acoustic insulation, sound absorption). The limiting values are defined in Table 6.
Table 6Limiting values LpAeq,T for the noise within the driver’s cab of electric and diesel locomotives, EMUs, DMUs and driving trailers
Noise within the driver’s cab | LpAeq,T | Measurement time interval T
Standstill(during external acoustical warning with the maximum sound pressure of the horn, but less than 125 dB(A) at 5 m ahead of the vehicle in 1,6 m height above head of rail) | 95 | 3 s
Maximum speed, applicable for speeds less than 190 km/h.(open country without interior and exterior warnings) | 78 | 1 minThe measurements shall be done under the following conditions:

— | the doors and windows must be closed,
— | the hauled loads must be equal to at least two-thirds of the maximum permissible value.For the measurements at maximum speed, the microphone shall be positioned at the level of the driver’s ear (in the seated position), at the centre of a horizontal plane extending from the front window panes to the rear wall of the cab.
For the measurements of the horn’s impact, eight evenly spaced microphone positions around the position of the driver’s head with a radius of 25 cm (in the seated position) shall be used, in a horizontal plane. The arithmetic mean of the eight values shall be assessed against the limit.
This table applies to drivers’ cabs. In any event, Directive 2003/10/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 6 February 2003 on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (noise) on has to be applied by railway undertakings and their staff, but the compliance with Directive 2003/10/EC does not concern the EC verification of rolling stock with drivers’ cabs.
4.3. Functional and technical specifications of the interfaces4.3.1. Conventional rail rolling stock subsystemThe noise limits of this TSI emitted by freight wagons shall be taken as design parameter in Chapter 4.2.4 (Braking) and as part of the subsystem approval in Chapter 6.2 (Subsystem conventional rail rolling stock freight wagons) of the CR RST TSI into account.
4.3.2. The locomotives, multiple units and coaches subsystemsThese TSIs do not exist yet. With regard to the noise emitted by locomotives, multiple units and coaches, their design has to be compliant with the specified limits in Chapter 4 (characterisation of the subsystem) of these TSIs.
4.4. Operating rulesIn light of the essential requirements in Chapter 3, there are no operating rules specific to the subsystem rolling stock regarding noise emitted by rolling stock.
4.5. Maintenance rules
— | wheel/rail contact parameters (wheel profile),
— | wheel defects (wheel flats, out of roundness).See maintenance file, which is specified in Chapter 4.2.8 of the conventional rail rolling stock TSI.
4.6. Professional qualificationsThere are no additional requirements to existing European legislation and national ones compatible with European legislation on professional qualifications.
4.7. Health and safety conditionsThe lower exposure action values set up in Article 3 of Directive 2003/10/EC (17th individual directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC) are met with the present limits of interior noise in drivers’ cabs:

— | as regards peak values,
— | and generally as regards average values, for standard operational conditions.4.8. Infrastructure and rolling stock registers4.8.1. Infrastructure registerNot applicable to this TSI.
4.8.2. Rolling stock registerAs far the subsystem rolling stock regarding noise emitted by rolling stock is concerned, the following information shall be included in the rolling stock register:

— | pass-by noise (basic parameters 4.2.1.1 and 4.2.2.4),
— | stationary noise (basic parameters 4.2.1.2 and 4.2.2.2),
— | starting noise (basic parameters 4.2.2.3),
— | interior noise in the driver’s cab.5. INTEROPERABILITY CONSTITUENTS5.1. DefinitionAccording to Article 2(d) of Directive 2001/16/EC, interoperability constituents are ‘any elementary component, group of components, subassembly or complete assembly of equipment incorporated or intended to be incorporated into a subsystem upon which the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail system depends directly or indirectly. The concept of a constituent covers both tangible objects and intangible objects such as software.’
There are no interoperability constituents specified in this TSI.
6. ASSESSMENT OF CONFORMITY AND/OR SUITABILITY FOR USE OF THE CONSTITUENTS AND VERIFICATIONS OF THE SUBSYSTEM6.1. Interoperability constituentsNot applicable
6.2. Subsystem rolling stock regarding noise emitted by rolling stock6.2.1. Assessment proceduresAt the request of the contracting entity or its authorised representative within the Community, the notified body carries out the EC verification in accordance with Annex VI to Directive 2001/16/EC.
The contracting entity shall draw up the EC declaration of verification for the rolling stock subsystem including the noise aspect in accordance with Article 18(1) and Annex V to Directive 2001/16/EC.
6.2.2. ModulesFor the verification procedure of the noise requirements, as specified in Chapter 4, the contracting entity or its authorised representative established within the Community may chose the following modules:

— | either the type examination procedure (module SB) for the design and development phase, in combination with a module for the production phase:—either the production quality management system procedure (module SD),—or the product verification procedure (module SF);—or the full quality management system with design examination procedure (module SH2). | — | either the production quality management system procedure (module SD), | — | or the product verification procedure (module SF); | — | or the full quality management system with design examination procedure (module SH2).
— | either the production quality management system procedure (module SD),
— | or the product verification procedure (module SF);
— | or the full quality management system with design examination procedure (module SH2).These modules are described in Annex B of this TSI.
The conformity assessment of the noise requirements of freight wagons may be carried out in the same time than the verification procedures of the other requirements of freight wagons, which are specified in the conventional rail rolling stock TSI.
The module SD may only be chosen where the contracting entity, or the main contractors when involved, operate a quality management system for manufacture, final product inspection and testing, approved and surveyed by a notified body of their choice.
The module SH2 may only be chosen where the contracting entity, or the main contractors when involved, operate a quality management system for design, manufacture, final production inspection and testing, approved and surveyed by a notified body of their choice.
The following additional facts shall be taken into account for the use of the modules:

— | design phase: module SB, with reference to chapter 4.3 of the module, a design review is requested,
— | production phase: the application of the modules SD, SF and SH2 for the production phase shall enable the conformity of the vehicles with the approved type as described in the type examination certificate. In particular the application shall demonstrate the manufacture and the assembly are realised with the same components and the same technical solutions than the approved type.6.2.3. Subsystem rolling stock aspect noiseFor the subsystem rolling stock, aspect noise emitted by freight wagons, locomotives, multiple units and coaches, verification is based on this chapter.

In order to support this migration, the TSIs allow for staged, gradual application and coordinated implementation with other TSIs.
7.2. TSI RevisionIn conformity with Article 6(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC as modified by Directive 2004/50/EC, the Agency shall be responsible for preparing the review and updating of TSIs and making appropriate recommendations to the Committee referred to in Article 21 of this Directive in order to take account of developments in technology or social requirements. In addition, the progressive adoption and revision of other TSIs may also impact this TSI. Proposed changes to this TSI shall be subject to rigorous review and updated TSIs will be published on an indicative periodic basis of three years.
In any case the EC will deliver to ‘the Article 21 Committee’, at the latest seven years after the date of entry into force of this TSI, a report and, if needed, a proposal for revising this TSI about following issues:

1. | an assessment of the implementation of the TSI, in particular costs and benefits;
2. | the use of a continuous curve of limiting values LpAeq,Tpfor the pass-by noise of freight wagons as a function of APL (axles per length), provided that it does not prevent technical innovation, in particular for rakes of wagons;
3. | the second step pass-by noise limit values for wagons, locomotives, multiple units and coaches (see point 7.2), according to the results of accurate noise measurement campaigns, taking into account in particular technical progress and available technologies for both track and rolling stock and cost-benefit analyses;
4. | a possible second-step starting noise limit values for diesel locomotives and multiple units;
5. | the inclusion of infrastructure into the scope of the Noise TSI in coordination with the TSI Infrastructure;
6. | the inclusion into the TSI of a monitoring scheme for wheel defects. Wheel defects have an impact on noise emission.7.3. A two step approachIt is recommended that in the case of new rolling stock to be ordered 10 years after the entry into force of this TSI or to be put into service 12 years after the entry force of this TSI points 4.2.1.1 and 4.2.2.4 of this TSI are applied with a reduction of 5 dB(A) except for DMUs and EMUs. For both later cases the reduction is of 2 dB(A). This recommendation will serve only as a basis for revising points 4.2.1.1 and 4.2.2.4 in the context of the TSI revision process mentioned in point 7.2.
7.4. Retrofitting programme for noise reductionGiven the long life-cycle of railway vehicles it is also necessary to take measures on the existing fleet of rolling stock, with priority for freight wagons, to foster a noticeable reduction of the perceived noise level within a reasonable time period. The Commission will take initiatives to discuss options for retrofitting of freight wagons with the relevant stakeholders to achieve a general agreement with the industry.
7.5. Application of this TSI to new rolling stockThe specifications provided in this TSI apply for all new rolling stock within the scope of this TSI.
In the case of new wagons, the conventional rail rolling stock TSI must also be fully applied.
7.5.1. Transitional period for external noiseIt is allowable to apply limits 2 dB(A) higher than those stated in Chapters 4 and 7 of this TSI for external noise from electric locomotives, diesel locomotives, EMUs, DMUs and passenger coaches within a transitional period of 24 months starting from the date of entry into force of this TSI. This allowance is restricted to the case of:

— | contracts already signed or under final phase of tendering procedure at the date of entry into force of this TSI, and options to these contracts to purchase additional vehicles, or
— | contracts for purchasing new rolling stock of an existing design type signed during this transitional period.7.5.2. Starting noiseThe starting noise limits may be raised by 2 dB(A) for all DMUs, with an engine power greater than 500 kW/engine, put into service during a transitional period of five years from the date of entry into force of this TSI. This is not additional to the 2 dB(A) of section 7.5.1.
7.5.3. Noise within the driver’s cabIt is allowable for the cab noise for new and existing designs at standstill during the sounding of the external warning horn to be raised by 2 dB(A) for the first three years starting from the date of entry into force of this TSI. This concerns the following cases:

— | contracts already signed or under final phase of tendering procedure at the date of entry into force of this TSI, and options to these contracts to purchase additional vehicles, or
— | contracts for purchasing new rolling stock of a new and existing design type signed during this transitional period.7.5.4. Exceptions for national, bilateral, multilateral or multinational agreements7.5.4.1. Existing agreementsWhere agreements contain requirements related to noise, then Member States shall notify the Commission, within six months after the entry into force of this TSI, of the following agreements under which freight wagons, locomotives, DMUs, EMUs and coaches, related to the scope of this TSI are operated:

(a) | national, bilateral or multilateral agreements between Member States and railway undertakings or infrastructure managers, agreed on either a permanent or a temporary basis and necessitated by the very specific or local nature of the intended transport service;
(b) | bilateral or multilateral agreements between railway undertakings, infrastructure managers or safety authorities which deliver significant levels of local or regional interoperability;
(c) | international agreements between one or more Member States and at least one third country, or between railway undertakings or infrastructure managers of Member States and at least one railway undertaking or infrastructure manager of a third country, which deliver significant levels of local or regional interoperability.The compatibility of these agreements with EU legislation including their non discriminatory character and, in particular, this TSI, will be assessed and the Commission will take the necessary measures such as, for example, the revision of this TSI to include possible specific cases or transitional measures.
These agreements remain permitted until the necessary measures are taken including EU level agreements related to this TSI with Russian Federation and all the other CIS countries having a border with the EU.
The RIV Agreement and COTIF instruments shall not be notified because they are known.
7.5.4.2. Future agreements or modification of existing agreementsAny future agreement or modification of existing agreements shall take into account EU legislation and, in particular, this TSI. Member States shall notify the Commission with such agreements/modifications. The same procedure as in point 7.5.4.1 then applies.
7.6. Application of this TSI to existing rolling stock7.6.1. Renewal or upgrading of existing freight wagonsIn the case of renewal or upgrading of freight wagons, the Member State, according to Article 14(3) of Directive 2001/16/EC as amended by the Directive 2004/50/EC, has to decide if a new authorisation of putting into service is needed. If the performance of the brake system of this wagon is changed by the renewal or upgrading and if a new authorisation of putting into service is needed, the requirement is that the pass-by level of this wagon shall comply with the relevant level indicated in Table 1 of point 4.2.1.1. If a wagon during renewal or upgrading is equipped with composite blocks and without adding additional noise sources to the wagon, it is to be assumed without testing that the values of point 4.2.1.1 are fulfilled.
An upgrading for noise emission reduction only is not mandatory, but if upgrading is done for another reason it has to be demonstrated that renewal or upgrading does not increase pass-by noise with respect to the performance of the vehicle before renewal or upgrading.
For stationary noise, it has to be demonstrated that retrofitting does not increase noise with respect to the performance of the vehicle before renewal or upgrading.
However, if a freight wagon will be during renewal or upgrading equipped with an additional noise source, than it has to fulfil the limit of point 4.2.1.2 (stationary noise).
Upgraded or renewed freight wagons, requiring new authorisation for putting into service within the meaning of Directive 2001/16/EC Article 14(3) shall comply with requirements of the conventional rail rolling stock TSI according to the provisions of point 7.3 of this TSI.
7.6.2. Renewal or upgrading of locomotives, multiple units and coachesIt has only to be demonstrated that a renewed or upgraded vehicle does not increase noise with respect to the performance of the vehicle before renewal or upgrading.
7.7. Specific cases7.7.1. IntroductionThe following special provisions are permitted in the specific cases below.
These specific cases belong to two categories: the provisions apply either permanently (case P), or temporarily (case T). In temporary cases, it is recommended that the Member States concerned should conform with the relevant subsystem either by 2010 (case T1), an objective set out in Decision 1692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 1996 on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, or by 2020 (case T2).
7.7.2. List of specific cases7.7.2.1. Limit for stationary noise, ‘strictly for use on the UK and Ireland networks only’Category P — permanent
Table 7Limiting values LpAeq,T for the stationary noise of DMUs
Vehicles | LpAeq,T
DMUs | 777.7.2.2. FinlandCategory T — temporary
In the territory of Finland, the limits for stationary noise in point 4.2.1.2 shall not be applied to wagons equipped with a diesel aggregate for electrical power supply higher than 100 kW when the aggregate is used. In this case the stationary noise limit may be raised by 7 dB(A) due to the temperature range down to — 40oC together with freezing and icy conditions.
7.7.2.3. Limits for starting noise, ‘strictly for use on the UK and Ireland networks only’Category P — permanent
Table 8Limiting values LpAFmax for the starting noise of electric locomotives, diesel locomotives and DMUs
Vehicle for | LpAFmax
Electric locomotives less than4 500 kW at the rim | 84
Diesel locomotivesLess than 2 000 kW at the shaft | 89
DMUs P < 500 kW/engine | 857.7.2.4. Limits for pass-by noise for freight wagons, in Finland, Norway, Estonia, Latvia and LithuaniaCategory T1 — temporary
The noise emission limits for freight wagons are not valid for Finland, Norway, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The reason for this is the safety aspects under Nordic winter conditions. This specific case is valid until the functional specification and assessment method for composite brake blocks are incorporated in the revised version of the conventional rail rolling stock TSI.
That does not preclude freight wagons from other member states from operating in Nordic and Baltic States.
7.7.2.5. Specific case for GreeceCategory T1 — temporary: rolling stock for track gauge 1 000 mm or less
For the existing isolated 1 000 mm gauge, which is not in the scope of this TSI, national rules shall apply.
7.7.2.6. Specific case for Estonia, Latvia and LithuaniaCategory ‘T1’ — temporary
The noise emission limits for all rolling stock (locomotives, coaches, EMUs and DMUs) are not valid for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania until the revision of this TSI. In the meantime, measurement campaigns will be carried out in these States; the revision of this TSI shall take into account the results of these campaigns.

A.2. CHARACTERISATION OF THE DYNAMIC PERFORMANCES OF THE REFERENCE TRACKSA.2.1. Measurement procedureThe following procedure is to be applied successively in the lateral and vertical directions, on each track site to be characterised.
Two accelerometers are secured (glued or stud) on the rail, in the middle section between two sleepers (see Figure F3):

— | one in the vertical direction on the longitudinal axis of the rail, positioned on the rail head (preferred), or under the rail foot,
— | the other in the transversal direction, positioned on the external face of the rail head.Figure F3:Captor location on the rail cross section

Acceleromet
A measured force impulse is applied on the rail head, in each direction, with an instrumented hammer equipped with a tip of appropriate hardness to enable a good measurement of force and response in the frequency range (50; 6 000 Hz). (A hardened steel tip is required for the higher end of the frequency range and is usually, though not always sufficient, to apply enough force for the lower end frequency range. An extra measurement with a softer tip may be required.)
The (transfer) accelerance (acceleration/force frequency response function) or mobility (velocity/force) is measured in the vertical and lateral-transverse directions for force applied in the corresponding same direction at an array of locations at various distances along the rail (defined below). It is not necessary to measure the cross-terms (vertical force to lateral response or vice versa). If analogue integration is available for the accelerometer measurement, it has been found that a better quality of measurement is achieved if the frequency response function (FRF) of mobility is recorded rather than accelerance. This produces better quality of data at low frequency, where the measured response is very small compared with the high frequency, since it reduces the dynamic range of the data before recording or digitisation. An average FRF from at least four valid impulses should be taken. The quality of each measured FRF (reproducibility, linearity etc.) should be monitored using the coherence function. This should also be recorded.
The transfer FRFs should be made to the accelerometer mounting location from each of the locations indicated in Figure F4. The measurement locations can be divided into sets as the ‘point’ measurement location, the ‘near-field’ set and ‘far-field’ set as follows:

— | the location index 0 is associated with the mid-point of the first sleeper bay. When the impulse is applied at this point (practically, as close to this point as possible), the point FRF is measured.
— | the near-field measurements are carried out by applying the impulse, starting with the point FRF, at quarter sleeper spacing up to the end of sleeper bay 2, thence at half-sleeper spacing up to the middle of sleeper bay 4 and then at each mid-sleeper position up to sleeper bay 8.
— | the far-field measurement use impulse locations from a distance of sleeper bay 8 from the accelerometer position outwards at the inter-sleeper positions, with the indices: 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 66,etc.as shown in Figure F4. The measurements need only be taken up to the point at which the response at all frequencies in the range becomes insignificant (with respect to the measurement noise). The coherence function provides a guide to this. Ideally, the response level in each one- third octave band should be at least 10 dB below the level of the same band at location 0.Figure F4:Track decay rates — location of the excitation points

Experience has shown that the variability of the results is such that the whole decay measurement should be repeated for another accelerometer location on the track site. A distance between the two accelerometer locations of about 10 metres is sufficient.
Since the decay rates are a function of the rail pad stiffness and rail-pad materials typically have significant temperature dependence, the temperature of the pad should be recorded during the measurement.
A.2.2. Measurement systemEach sensor and acquisition system should have a calibration certificate, according to the EN ISO 17025 standard(1).
The whole measurement system should be calibrated before and after each series of measurement (and particularly in the case of a modification in the measurement system, acquisition, or measurement location).
A.2.3. Data processingThe total sound power radiated from a rail excited into vibration is the product of the radiation ratio (radiation efficiency) of the rail and the squared velocity amplitude summed over the radiating area. If both vertical and lateral waves in the rail are assumed to decay exponentially from the excitation point (wheel contact) with distance along the rail then,A(z) ≈A(0)e-βzwhereβis the decay constant for the amplitude of the response,A, with distancezalong the rail from the excitation point.βcan be converted to a decay rate expressed as dB per metre, Δ, as Δ=20log10(eβ)=8,686βdB/m.

| (A2.1)This demonstrates the way in which the decay rate is in relation to the noise-radiation performance of the track structure. It should be expressed as a value in dB/m for each one-third octave frequency band.
The decay rate can, in principle, be evaluated as the slope of a graph of response amplitude in dB versus the distancez. In practice however, it is better to evaluate a decay rate based on a direct estimate of the summed response:

| (A2.2)wherezmaxis the maximum measurement distance and the sum is carried out for the response measurement locations with Δzrepresenting the interval between the mid-distance points to the measurement locations either side. The influence of the interval taken at for the measurement atzmaxshould be small but is prescribed here to be symmetrical aboutzmax.
Thus for the response averaged in each one-third octave frequency band, the decay rate is evaluated as:

| (A2.3)It is clear from this that it is immaterial whetherArepresents the response in terms of accelerance or mobility since these only differ by the factor 2πf, wherefis the frequency. The averaging of the spectrum over one-third octave frequency bands may be carried out either before the evaluation of the decay rate for the FRFs or afterwards on the function Δ(f). Notice that accurate measurement ofA(0) is important as it appears as a constant factor in the summation. In fact this is the FRF most easily measured accurately. Experience has shown that there is no significant error introduced by the fact that near-field waves are not taken into account in this simple analysis.
This method of evaluation is robust for high rates of decay but may be subject to error if the practical value ofzmaxtruncates the response in any one-third octave frequency band before a sufficient attenuation has taken place for the summation tozmaxto represent a good approximation to the infinite integral. Thus a minimum decay rate that can be evaluated for a particular value ofzmaxis:

| (A2.4)The evaluated decay rate should be compared with this value and if it is close to it the estimation of decay rate deemed unsafe. A value ofzmaxof about 40 m should be capable of evaluating a track decay rate that complies with the minimum specified in Figure F2. However, some incompliant tracks have significantly lower decay rates in some bands and to avoid the escalation of effort in measurement it may be necessary to resort to line-slope fitting for some bands. In the case of low decay rates, the response data tends to be free from some of the problems indicated above. They should be checked by plotting them together with the measured FRF versus distance, for each one-third-octave frequency band.
A.2.4. Test reportThe spatial TDR (vertical and transversal directions) should be presented for the third-octave frequency bandwidth, in a graph following the presentation specified in Pr EN ISO 3740(2)and IEC 60263(3)with a scale ratio between horizontal and vertical axles of 3/4, respectively for one octave bandwidth and a decay rate of 5 dB/m.

(1) Outbreaks of swine vesicular disease have been recorded in certain regions of Italy.
(2) Italy has taken measures to deal with outbreaks under Council Directive 92/119/EEC of 17 December 1992 introducing general Community measures for the control of certain animal diseases and specific measures relating to swine vesicular disease(2).
(3) Italy has also taken additional eradication and monitoring measures for swine vesicular disease covering the whole of Italy. These measures are laid down in yearly programmes for the eradication and monitoring of swine vesicular disease presented by Italy and approved in accordance with Article 24(6) and Articles 29 and 32 of Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(3).
(4) Commission Decision 2004/840/EC of 30 November 2004 approving programmes for the eradication and monitoring of certain animal diseases and of checks aimed at the prevention of zoonoses presented by the Member States for the year 2005 and fixing the level of the Community’s financial contribution(4)approved the programme for the eradication and monitoring of swine vesicular disease presented by Italy for 2005.
(5) The measures laid down in the yearly programmes for the eradication and monitoring of swine vesicular disease seek to recognise pig holdings as free of swine vesicular disease and to ensure that all regions of Italy achieve that status. The programmes also include rules on movement of and trade in live pigs from regions and holdings not of the same status as regards swine vesicular disease.
(6) Most regions of Italy with the exception of Abruzzi, Campania, Calabria and Sicily have been recognised as free from swine vesicular disease following the favourable results of repeated sampling and testing of pigs on all holdings under the yearly eradication and monitoring programmes.
(7) However, given the nature of the disease and its persistence in certain regions of Italy, surveillance to detect swine vesicular disease at an early stage should be maintained in regions recognised as free from swine vesicular disease.
(8) The disease situation in regions that are not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease is also liable to endanger pig holdings in other regions of Italy through trade in live pigs. Pigs should therefore not be moved from regions not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease to other regions of Italy unless they originate from holdings that fulfil certain conditions.
(9) Pigs in regions not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease should not be dispatched to other Member States. Pigs in regions recognised as free from swine vesicular disease should only be dispatched from holdings recognised as free from that disease.
(10) The rules laid down in this Decision should apply without prejudice to those laid down in Council Directive 92/119/EEC. It is appropriate to lay down a definition for ‘assembly centre for pigs’ different to the one laid down in Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine(5).
(11) For the sake of transparency, rules should be laid down at Community level on the status of pig holdings and regions as regards swine vesicular disease and on movements of and intra-Community trade in live pigs from holdings and regions of a different disease status.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. the definitions in Directive 92/119/EEC shall apply;
2. ‘assembly centre for pigs’ means the holding of a trader to which and from which acquired pigs are regularly moved within 30 days of acquisition.
(a) on two occasions at an interval of 28 to 40 days, sampling for serological testing has been carried out on a number of breeding pigs sufficient to detect a prevalence of swine vesicular disease of 5 % with a confidence interval of 95 % and the results have been negative, and
(b) where no breeding pigs are kept on holdings in regions recognised as free from swine vesicular disease, any pigs moved to such holdings originate in holdings recognised as free from that disease.
(a) sampling and checking procedures are carried out in accordance with Article 5(1) and Article 6 and the results are negative, and
(b) pigs moved to such a holding originate in holdings recognised as free from swine vesicular disease.
(a) shall be suspended where any seropositive case is detected and confirmed by further investigations, until such time as the pig concerned is slaughtered under official supervision, or
(b) shall be withdrawn where two or more seropositive cases are detected.
(a) once a year where the holding mainly produces pigs for slaughter,
(b) twice a year in other cases.
(a) the holding of origin has been recognised as free from swine vesicular disease for at least two years without interruption;
(b) in the 60 days prior to movement, the holding of origin has not been located in a protection or surveillance zone following an outbreak of swine vesicular disease;
(c) no pigs were introduced onto the holding of origin in the 12 months prior to movement from holdings where swine vesicular disease was suspected;
(d) pigs on the holding of origin are sampled between 20 and 30 days before movement and serologically testing is carried out on a number of pigs sufficient to detect prevalence of swine vesicular disease of 5 % with a confidence interval of 95 %;
(e) pigs on the holding of destination are sampled at least 28 days after movement and serologically testing is carried out on a number of pigs sufficient to detect prevalence of swine vesicular disease of 5 % with a confidence interval of 95 %. Pigs may not be moved from the holding of destination until testing has been carried out and the results are negative;
(f) the animals moved are transported in sealed vehicles under the supervision of the authorities;
(g) movement of the pigs is notified at least 48 hours in advance to the local veterinary authority responsible for the holding of destination;
(h) the vehicles used for transporting the pigs are cleaned and disinfected under official supervision before and after movement.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,

2. On holdings where more than two breeding pigs are kept, sampling for serological testing shall be carried out at the following intervals on a random sample of 12 breeding pigs or on all breeding pigs where there are fewer than 12 breeding pigs on the holding:
(a)
once a year where the holding mainly produces pigs for slaughter,
(b)
twice a year in other cases.
3. At assembly centres for pigs, sampling of faeces for virological testing shall be carried out at monthly intervals in every pen where pigs are usually kept.

Surveillance in regions not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease
Article 6
1. Italy shall ensure that sampling and checking procedures to detect swine vesicular disease are carried out as set out in paragraphs 2 and 3 in regions not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease.
2. On holdings recognised as free from swine vesicular disease where breeding pigs are kept and at assembly centres for pigs, the provisions laid down in Article 5 shall apply.
3. On holdings recognised as free from swine vesicular disease where no breeding pigs are kept, sampling for serological testing shall be carried out twice a year on a random sample of 12 pigs or on all pigs where there are fewer than 12 pigs on the holding.

Derogations and conditions
Article 8
By way of derogation from Article 7(4), the Italian authorities may authorise the movement of pigs from holdings in regions not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease to other regions of Italy on condition that:
(a)
the holding of origin has been recognised as free from swine vesicular disease for at least two years without interruption;
(b)
in the 60 days prior to movement, the holding of origin has not been located in a protection or surveillance zone following an outbreak of swine vesicular disease;
(c)
no pigs were introduced onto the holding of origin in the 12 months prior to movement from holdings where swine vesicular disease was suspected;

pigs on the holding of origin are sampled between 20 and 30 days before movement and serologically testing is carried out on a number of pigs sufficient to detect prevalence of swine vesicular disease of 5 % with a confidence interval of 95 %;
(e)
pigs on the holding of destination are sampled at least 28 days after movement and serologically testing is carried out on a number of pigs sufficient to detect prevalence of swine vesicular disease of 5 % with a confidence interval of 95 %. Pigs may not be moved from the holding of destination until testing has been carried out and the results are negative;
(f)
the animals moved are transported in sealed vehicles under the supervision of the authorities;
(g)
movement of the pigs is notified at least 48 hours in advance to the local veterinary authority responsible for the holding of destination;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
(1) Outbreaks of swine vesicular disease have been recorded in certain regions of Italy.
(2) Italy has taken measures to deal with outbreaks under Council Directive 92/119/EEC of 17 December 1992 introducing general Community measures for the control of certain animal diseases and specific measures relating to swine vesicular disease(2).
(3) Italy has also taken additional eradication and monitoring measures for swine vesicular disease covering the whole of Italy. These measures are laid down in yearly programmes for the eradication and monitoring of swine vesicular disease presented by Italy and approved in accordance with Article 24(6) and Articles 29 and 32 of Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(3).
(4) Commission Decision 2004/840/EC of 30 November 2004 approving programmes for the eradication and monitoring of certain animal diseases and of checks aimed at the prevention of zoonoses presented by the Member States for the year 2005 and fixing the level of the Community’s financial contribution(4)approved the programme for the eradication and monitoring of swine vesicular disease presented by Italy for 2005.
(5) The measures laid down in the yearly programmes for the eradication and monitoring of swine vesicular disease seek to recognise pig holdings as free of swine vesicular disease and to ensure that all regions of Italy achieve that status. The programmes also include rules on movement of and trade in live pigs from regions and holdings not of the same status as regards swine vesicular disease.
(6) Most regions of Italy with the exception of Abruzzi, Campania, Calabria and Sicily have been recognised as free from swine vesicular disease following the favourable results of repeated sampling and testing of pigs on all holdings under the yearly eradication and monitoring programmes.
(7) However, given the nature of the disease and its persistence in certain regions of Italy, surveillance to detect swine vesicular disease at an early stage should be maintained in regions recognised as free from swine vesicular disease.
(8) The disease situation in regions that are not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease is also liable to endanger pig holdings in other regions of Italy through trade in live pigs. Pigs should therefore not be moved from regions not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease to other regions of Italy unless they originate from holdings that fulfil certain conditions.
(9) Pigs in regions not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease should not be dispatched to other Member States. Pigs in regions recognised as free from swine vesicular disease should only be dispatched from holdings recognised as free from that disease.
(10) The rules laid down in this Decision should apply without prejudice to those laid down in Council Directive 92/119/EEC. It is appropriate to lay down a definition for ‘assembly centre for pigs’ different to the one laid down in Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine(5).
(11) For the sake of transparency, rules should be laid down at Community level on the status of pig holdings and regions as regards swine vesicular disease and on movements of and intra-Community trade in live pigs from holdings and regions of a different disease status.
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Subject matter and scope

This Decision lays down animal health rules as regards swine vesicular disease for regions of Italy that are recognised as free from swine vesicular disease and for regions not recognised as free from that disease.

Definitions

For the purposes of this Decision:
1.
the definitions in Directive 92/119/EEC shall apply;
2.
‘assembly centre for pigs’ means the holding of a trader to which and from which acquired pigs are regularly moved within 30 days of acquisition.

Recognition of regions

1. The regions of Italy listed in Annex I are recognised as free from swine vesicular disease.
2. The regions of Italy listed in Annex II are not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease.

Recognition of holdings

1. Italy shall ensure that paragraphs 2 to 6 are complied with.
2. In regions recognised as free from swine vesicular disease, a pig holding shall be recognised as free from that disease if:
(a)
on two occasions at an interval of 28 to 40 days, sampling for serological testing has been carried out on a number of breeding pigs sufficient to detect a prevalence of swine vesicular disease of 5 % with a confidence interval of 95 % and the results have been negative, and
(b)
where no breeding pigs are kept on holdings in regions recognised as free from swine vesicular disease, any pigs moved to such holdings originate in holdings recognised as free from that disease.
3. In regions not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease, a pig holding shall be recognised as free from that disease if on two occasions at an interval of 28 to 40 days, sampling for serological testing has been carried out on a number of pigs sufficient to detect prevalence of swine vesicular disease of 5 % with a confidence interval of 95 % and the results were negative;
4. A pig holding recognised as free from swine vesicular disease shall retain that status if:
(a)
sampling and checking procedures are carried out in accordance with Article 5(1) and Article 6 and the results are negative, and
(b)
pigs moved to such a holding originate in holdings recognised as free from swine vesicular disease.
5. The recognition of a holding as free from swine vesicular disease:
(a)
shall be suspended where any seropositive case is detected and confirmed by further investigations, until such time as the pig concerned is slaughtered under official supervision, or
(b)
shall be withdrawn where two or more seropositive cases are detected.
6. A pig holding shall be recognised once more as free from swine vesicular disease if the sampling and checking procedures set out in paragraphs 2 or 3, as the case may be, have been carried out and the results are negative.

3. On holdings recognised as free from swine vesicular disease where no breeding pigs are kept, sampling for serological testing shall be carried out twice a year on a random sample of 12 pigs or on all pigs where there are fewer than 12 pigs on the holding. Sampling of the pigs of a holding may, however, take place at the slaughterhouse at the time of slaughter.

Measures as regards the movement of live pigs within Italy

1. Italy shall ensure that paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 are complied with for movement of live pigs within Italy.
2. Where pigs from holdings not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease are moved to a slaughterhouse for slaughter, sampling for serological testing shall be carried out on a number of pigs sufficient to detect prevalence of swine vesicular disease of 5 % with a confidence interval of 95 %.
3. The movement of pigs from holdings not recognised as free from swine vesicular disease to other holdings is prohibited.
