# Commission Decision of 30 May 2002 concerning the technical specification for interoperability relating to the rolling stock subsystem of the trans-European high-speed rail system referred to in Article 6(1) of Directive 96/48/EC (notified under document number C(2002) 1952) (Text with EEA relevance) (2002/735/EC), Appendix ANNEX E: ASSESSMENT OF THE ROLLING STOCK SUBSYSTEM

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

1.
Scope
This Annex indicates the assessment of conformity of the rolling stock subsystem
2.
Characteristics and modules
The subsystem characteristics to be assessed in the different phases of design, installation and operation are marked by an ‘X’ in Table 2. This table also lists the European specifications (standards) and the references of other documents giving details of assessment procedures.
Table 2
