# Commission Decision of 30 May 2002 concerning the technical specification for interoperability relating to the control-command and signalling subsystem of the trans-European high-speed rail system referred to in Article 6(1) of Council Directive 96/48/EC (notified under document number C(2002) 1947) (Text with EEA relevance) (2002/731/EC), Division 6.1.1: CONFORMITY AND SUITABILITY FOR USE ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES (MODULES)

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

This section deals with the EC declaration of conformity for the control-command interoperability constituents.
An EC declaration of suitability for use is not required for interoperability constituents of the control-command subsystem.
The assessment procedure for conformity of interoperability constituents as defined in Chapter 5 of this TSI shall be carried out by application of modules as specified in Annex E to this TSI.
The specifications for the performance, interfaces and functions required of each class A interoperability constituent are obtained by reference to Annex A. Tables 5.1a, 5.1b, 5.2a and 5.2b indicate for each interoperability constituent the indices of Annex A to be applied. The tests and test tool requirements which are mandatory to assess the conformity of the performance, interfaces and functions of each interoperability constituent are also obtained from these tables. Those European specifications to be applied to the defined interoperability constituents are identified in point 5.1.
The conformity assessment shall include safety, e.g. the demonstration that the application software is implemented in a safety platform that has a prior declaration of conformity in a way that achieves safety acceptance according to the Annex A, index 1. This shall also include the demonstration that other software modules possibly installed in the same platform do not interfere with ERTMS/ETCS application.
If interoperability constituents are combined into a group, the conformity assessment shall cover the remaining interfaces and the functions of the integrated interoperability constituents as identified in point 5.2.
The independent assessment in the safety acceptance and approval process as described in Annex A, index 1 may be accepted by the notified body, without it being repeated.
