European Agencies

European Union has established 22 Community Agencies to accomplish very specific technical, scientific or managerial tasks, in the framework

http://europa.eu/agencies/community_agencies/index_ en.htm

scientific or managerial tasks, in the framework of the European Union’s law (environment, chemicals, foods, medicines, health & safety at work, aviation, maritime,…)

One is dedicated to Railways and localized in Valenciennes (Nord of France)

http://www.era.europa.eu/Pages/Home.aspx


Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 (amended by 1335/2008)is establishing the duties and the working principlesof the European Railway Agency:

Art 1: The Agency has the mission of reinforcing safetyand interoperability of railways throughout Europe .This involves the development and implementation

Duty of the Agency

This involves the development and implementationof Technical Specifications for Interoperability , and acommon approach to questions concerning RailwaySafety, according to the Safety Directive (2004/49amended by 2008/110) and Interoperability Directives(96/48 and 2001/16, both amended by 2004/50 andrecasted by 2008/57).

Directive 2007/32 amending Annex VI of 96/48 and 2001/16

Directive 2008/57/EC on the Interoperability of the Rail System within the Community (covering both HS and CR and extended to the whole of the European Network)


Objective of the Directive

The pursuit of this objective must lead to the definition of an optimal level of technical harmonisation (TSI) and make it possible to:(a) facilitate , improve and develop international rail transport services within the European Union and with third countries; EC DIR countries;(b) contribute to the progressive creation of the internal market in equipment and services for the construction, renewal, upgrading and operation of the rail system within the Community;(c) contribute to the interoperability of the rail system within the Community.

Art. 1.2


Directive 2008/57/EC, Article 35


1. Each Member State shall ensure that a register of infrastructure is

published and updated on the basis of the revision cycle referred to in

paragraph 2. This register shall indicate the main features of each

subsystem or part subsystem involved (e.g. the basic parameters) and

their correlation with the features laid down under the applicable TSIs.

To that end, each TSI shall indicate precisely what information must be To that end, each TSI shall indicate precisely what information must be

included in the register of infrastructure.

2. The Agency shall prepare draft specifications on this register regarding

its presentation and format, its revision cycle and instructions for use,

taking into account an appropriate transition period for infrastructures

placed in service before the entry into force of this Directive. The

Commission shall adopt the specifications in accordance with the

regulatory procedure referred to in Article 29(3).

Scope

Technical

�Features laid down under applicable TSIs have been currently selected

for the TEN only – technical scope is not consistent with geographical

scope. The non-TEN lines might require additional information or other

values for items.

�Items are set out in HS and CR TSIs for subsystems (INF, ENE, CCS, OPE),

in combined TSIs (PRM, SRT) and also in HS RST and CR WAG TSI. All

those specifications indicate data for RINF.


�RINF will enable and expedite the assessment of technical compatibility

for Rolling Stock designated and put into service for a specific area of

infrastructure and the technical compatibility between the other

subsystems

�Use of registers will facilitate this compatibility assessment for the

capability of a vehicle to run on a specific line, which is outside of the

EC verification procedure for planning purposes

characteristics of European infrastructure for the development of new

products and services

�RINF may be used as an initial tool for considering cross acceptance of

vehicles, especially existing vehicles which have not been EC verified

INF/ENE and INF/CCS

NoBo

(DeBo)

The conformity assessment for EC verification includes checking of interfaces with other subsystems using RINF. If features according to national rules are concerned the same check is carried out by a DeBo.

Fixed installations/RST for MS specific features


IM/RU Facilitate the assessment of technical compatibility for the capability of a vehicle to run on a specific line, both conforming to the relevant TSIs. This procedure is outside the process of EC verification.

RINF can be used to demonstrate the level of compliance with the BPs of the TSIs in the case of existing lines.

Fixed installations/RST for line specific features

EC/ERA

Railway Sector

Core reference to track progress towards a European interoperable network. It will provide basic technical information for the railway sector about the current technical characteristics of European infrastructure for the development of new products and services.

Fixed installations/RST for MS specific and line specific features

Railway network structure

For the purpose of RINF

�the railway network is considered to be a series of operational points

connected by sections,

�a line is a sequence of one or more sections, which may consist of

several tracks,

�and operational points are locations for train service operations.�and operational points are locations for train service operations.

• 41 for the subsystem ‘Infrastructure’

• 15 for the subsystem ‘Energy’

• 45 for the subsystem ‘Control, Command and Signalling’

• 9 for the TSI ‘Safety in Railway Tunnels’


�70 RINF items thereof are needed for the compatibility assessment

related to the capability of a vehicle to run on a specific line,

corresponding parameters will have to be recorded in the same format
