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

The assessment shall be at management-system level and process-driven. Where scrutiny reveals shortcomings, the national safety authority may exercise discretion and, depending on the nature and seriousness of the non-conformity, shall outline the points which need to be enhanced. Ultimately, the national safety authority shall exercise its power to reject an application.
The assessment shall be:
appropriate to the risks, character and extent of operations of the applicant;
based on judgments of the railway undertaking’s overall ability to operate safely as described in its safety management system.
