Simplification – Prevention of “Surprise”
new rules
• Creation of New Rules
• TSI Loc & Pass in place – no need for new national rules – scope
extension is on the way
• Draft national rules must be notified and scrutinised under
Directive 98/34 – up to 12month “standstill”
• Dealing with findings of accidents- “Emergency Rules”
• Safety Directive is clear – Immediate risk must be controlled by
the SMS of the RU – i.e. company procedures
• Errors and omissions in TSIS dealt with by reporting to RISC +
Agency Technical Opinion (one new rule for all)
•
Rules must be permanent (not different for each project)
• Result - No more “surprise” new rules
6
Simplification - Equivalence
• 25 Fire Extinguishers in the cab => 1
• Geographical Interest Groups reviewing
equivalence for All MS
(except Poland, UK, Baltic states)
• For Off -TENs MSs may decide to accept TSIs as
equivalent to national rules
• A logical simplification
• Extra column in Ref Doc to be added
7
Simplification – Visibility of National Rules
• One point of data entry and extraction
• The Agency Website (incl access to NOTIFIT)
• Rules catalogued according to the list of
parameters
• Rules cross referenced with TSIs
• Clarity of what must be notified to be contained
in Application guide to NOTIFIT/Ref Doc
Database
8
Simplification – Type Authorisation
Vehicle authorised in MS A = Type Approved in MS A
Vehicle authorised in MS B
(check of B and C rules relating only to compatibility
with the Network)
= Type authorised in MS B
9
Simplification
• Separation of authorisation from use + type
• Only one authorisation per MS per design
• Authorisation for a network according to
national rules for compatibility/integration with
network.
• Route non-conformities dealt with by Network
Statement /RINF + SMS
10
Anything Missing?
Anything Missing (1)?
• Next Step – check for missing regulatory
simplifications
• Practical definition of Type
• Common understanding of “major” /
“significant” /”substantial”
• How to deal with “platforms”
• Anything else?
12
Anything missing (2)?
• Technical compatibility/Safe Integration vehnetwork
• Consistency (one set?) of parameters need to
used in TSI, Ref Doc, Infrastructure Register
(+ERATV,+Inf TSI)
• Review of risks covered by national rules,
compare with risks covered by TSI
• Anything else?
13
Anything Missing (3)
• Nature of Infrastructure
•
IMs must be maintaining infrastructure to some limits
otherwise vehicles could not be authorised,
compatibility with vehicles could not be maintained
and the IMs would loose their safety authorisations!
• Conclusion – Infrastructure knowledge exists
but is “hidden”
• Agree with EIM – rapid introduction of RINF for compatibility
parameters is necessary
14
Next Steps
• Publish this “road map”
• Opinion Formers (“Big Bosses”) need to know
what is already in the pipeline
• Which of today’s problems are solved by implementation of
the directives
• What is left as open points
• Dissemination of the framework
15
Finally – A Plea for “Big Bosses” and
Associations
• The tools to implement change exist – use them
• Stop writing letters of general complaint
• Start submitting specific complaints to the
Commission where MSs break the law (i.e. do
not comply with the directives / DV29)
• Why ask for more regulation when existing
regulation is not complied with?
