Railway Group Standards CodeThe Railway Group Standards Code (the Code) issue three was approved by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) on 14 March 2008 and came into force on 07 June 2008. Issue One of the Code was developed to provide greater industry involvement in the creation of standards, particularly in providing for an enhanced role for Standards Committees in all aspects of the creation, modification and withdrawal of Railway Group Standards (RGSs). Issue Two amended the scope of RGSs to bring it into line with the Strategy for Standards Management and provides for the integration of work on GB RGSs and European TSIs through the creation of the Standards Committees and the Industry Standards Co-ordination Committee. Issue Three of the Code is supported by a Standards Manual, which is approved by Industry Standards Coordination Committee and which defines those elements of the cross-industry management of RGSs and associated docs which are not subject to ORR approval. A summary of the amendments made in Issue Three is contained in the briefing note below.
