GERT8054 Iss 2

This document mandates joint responsibility of infrastructure managers and railway undertakings to determine whether or not a system has material safety implications, and if it does whether it is also a shared system. In this case, each infrastructure manager and railway undertaking shall report the material safety implication that they have identified to the System Management Group (SMG) they belong to.

GERT8054 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. See briefing note and impact assessment attached to this document for more information.
