# 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: Trackside assembly functional integration verification:

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

European specifications must be complemented by national specifications covering:
the description of the line, characteristics such as gradients, distances, positions of route elements and balises/loops, locations to be protected,
the signalling data and rules required to be handled by the ERTMS system.
A notified body is required for that part of the control-command trackside assembly for which European specifications are established.
The awarding entity may have the national elements of the trackside assembly assessed by an independent body to ensure that the application of national specifications fulfils the essential requirements.
The awarding entity may chose to use a notified body for this purpose.
The awarding entity shall present to the Member State evidence of the correct integration of the part described by the European specifications within control-command and signalling.
