ERA/TD/2011-01/XA: ANNEX III of REFERENCE DOCUMENT
Introduction
The document references national rules applied in conjunction with the authorisation of railway vehicles in
the respective Member States against the detailed list of parameters as agreed by RISC 12/06/2009 and
published by decision 2009/965/EC. The Reference Document itself does not give the national rules legal
status but it is intended to be comprehensive by referencing and cross referencing “all the national rules
applied by the Member States” as advised to the Agency.
Due to time constraints for referencing national rules against these parameters the first versions of the
National Reference Document may not contain a full set of references to appropriate rules, for this reason
for certain parameters the reference “to be investigated” has been added. As soon as possible this
information will be substituted by a reference to an appropriate rule, or if a check of this parameter is not
required for authorizing the railway vehicle in the Member State, by the term “No requirement”.
As far as the Member State has evaluated rules of another Member State and agreed with the authority of
this Member State an evaluation of that rule for a certain parameter the agreed evaluation as A, B or C
has been included in the document as far as this information had been made available; in relation to
Member States which are not considered within this document the respective rule has to be considered as
evaluated “B”.
Actually the NSA of Netherland is comparing their rules with the NSAs of their neighbour and other
Member states. As soon as this comparison and the resulting classification is finished and available for
the NRD, the National Reference Document will be updated. Information regarding the classification
achieved can be obtained in the meantime directly by the NSA of Netherlands.
In this NRD you will find the reference to the Dutch Rks 2007 (that containes the requirements for
authorisation from 2010 up to now) and the on 25th januari of 2010 published ATI or ATIV (Actuele
Technische Inzichten Voertuigtoelating). The Rks 2007 is still force, however you can apply the
requirements form the ATIV when IVW desides positively on your written application with statements for
reasons, to use the ATI instead of Rks. It is forseen that new Dutch legislation will get in force at the end
of 2011.
