1. Context
23/11/2010 J-M DECHAMPS
Old system
• Wagons PoRegistering Railway undertakings (RUs) - Registration of wagons- Operations and maintenance conditions:
imposedo (Private) keepers
23/11/2010 J-M DECHAMPS
Today (1)
• Legal aspect = Railway Safety Directive (2004/49 including amendments)oRU is responsible for safe operationoRU keeps under control all risks including
maintenance. Maintenance may not be imposed to Keepers RU, keepers and maintainers may be different
oRegistration by public authority
23/11/2010 J-M DECHAMPS
Today (2)
• Old system is not authorised but... RU may still impose maintenance. RU controls risks by imposing maintenance.
23/11/2010 J-M DECHAMPS
Today (3)
• RU controls maintenance managed by other entities such as keepers.
Economic nonsense: many keepers and RUs exchange wagons. RUs are not capable to control all keepers or all entities in charge of maintenance for keepers!
Solution: certification of entity in charge of maintenance (ECM)
