Standards

Introduction

Standards help make a better, safer railway. Agreed by the industry, standards are developed and maintained by RSSB. They may be mandatory or optional, depending on type; and describe a common way of working for all railway undertakings in areas where they apply.

They clarify how standards help rail companies address their legal and other obligations and describe the procedure to request a deviation from, or change to, a standard.
