GERT8047 Iss 6

GERT8047 mandates requirements for reporting safety related information by means of the Safety Management Information System (SMIS), so that reliable safety data is collected, analysed and made available for use by rail industry parties in the management of risk. It applies to Transport Undertakings (Infrastructure Manager and Railway Undertakings).

GERT8047 was reviewed in accordance with the final report of the European Commission's Task Force on National Safety Rules (NSRs). The review concluded it duplicated European legislation, and could not be retained as a NSR nor as a RGS. Its requirements have been retained and incorporated in RIS-8047-TOM Iss 1.
