4 1 Introduction 1.1 The purpose of the strategic plan The Industry Standards Coordination Committee (ISCC) has produced a strategic plan setting out the direction that ISCC wishes to take for Control Period 5 (CP5) for the years It is anticipated that the strategic goal and strategic issues will remain unchanged for the whole of CP5, although these will be reviewed for each issue of the strategic plan ISCC discussed Issue Two of the strategic plan for in January 2015 and approved it subject to agreed updates ISCC, in turn, asked each Standards Committee (SC) to create and keep up to date a strategic plan in support of ISCC s objectives and key activities for CP5. Plans should include the scope of the SC and how the SC intends to address the following objectives and key activities: a) Producing a coherent and efficient suite of standards for the GB mainline railway that are aligned with European requirements. b) Improving decision taking on standards. c) Improving industry s understanding of the European regulatory framework. d) Engaging effectively with European and international institutions to influence the development of European-wide and international standards. e) Communicating with industry about standards so that industry is able to use standards efficiently, proposing changes to them where necessary In achieving these objectives and key activities, the SC will be mindful of the development and implementation of the Fourth Railway Package Some of the key activities, for example changes in the number and nature of requirements in RGSs due to the scope extension of Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs) will continue over multiple years Issue Two of the Infrastructure Standards Committee (INS SC) Strategic Plan was agreed by the members of the INS SC on 4 th March 2015, for the period It sets the SC s overall strategy for the period, and priorities and timescales for delivering major programme activities This plan will be submitted to ISCC for endorsement, and re-submitted if it is later revised and there are any substantial changes. 1.2 The scope of the standards committee The scope of the INS SC includes all railway infrastructure other than signalling, telecommunications and electrification equipment. It also includes the management of risk from the railway environment. Issue Two 15 April 2015 Page 4 of 9
5 1.2.2 The scope therefore includes track, drainage, earthworks and structures supporting or protecting the track, other adjacent structures and buildings that could affect the safety of the railway, tunnels, station infrastructure, infrastructure for access to or along the railway, level crossing surfaces, lineside security and environmental conditions, (managing the risk from vegetation, weather and water). It also includes those structures used to support signalling, telecommunications, electrification, lighting and other equipment, (for example, gantries) The SC s coverage includes consideration of the interfaces between items within its coverage and those within the coverage of other standards committees, (for example, the interfaces between track and structures and railway vehicles) In addition, the SC s coverage includes consideration of requirements relating to activities dealt with in general, multifunctional documents in so far as they affect items within the SC s coverage. Such activities include competence, procurement, construction, acceptance and record keeping activities The technical scope of the committee is consistent with the scope of the Infrastructure sub-system, as defined for the purposes of Interoperability and described in the Infrastructure (INF) TSIs The technical scope of the committee also includes some items covered by the Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRM) and Safety in Rail Tunnels (SRT) TSIs The INS SC acts as the GB Mirror Group for the INF TSIs and also provides support, as requested, on relevant aspects of the PRM and SRT TSIs The Aerodynamics GB working group is a sub-group of both INS and Rolling Stock SCs and regular reports are received by INS SC. 1.3 Relevant strategies or initiatives INS SC will be kept informed of the work of the Platform Train Interface Strategy / Implementation Group and any emerging recommendations relating to the INS SC scope INS SC members are contributing to the Infrastructure Portfolio Group for the Rail Technical Strategy and INS SC will be kept informed of any related activities INS SC is also kept updated on R&D projects in relevant areas. T1062 on the platform recess requirements is currently nearing completion. 1.4 Summary of key changes to the plan for This plan follows from Issue One of the INS SC Strategic Plans for CP5 and continues the activities of the INS SC. 1.5 Communicating the strategic plan The content of this plan will be communicated to relevant industry members by publishing the plan on the RSSB website. Issue Two 15 April 2015 Page 5 of 9
6 2 Produce a coherent and efficient suite of standards for the GB mainline railway that are aligned with European requirements 2.1 In line with guidance from ISCC and following the scope extension of the TSIs, INS SC has developed a plan for review of all documents within its scope to determine the continuing relevance of each measure. This will consider: a) Whether the measure is required to support a GB specific case or an open point (explicit or hidden ) in the TSI. b) Whether the measure is required for assessment of compatibility with the existing network. c) Whether the measure is duplicating requirements in TSIs. d) Whether the measure is duplicating requirements in European Standards (ENs). 2.2 Each document will be reviewed either at its next five year review or earlier if already under review for other reasons. This review will determine, on a clause by clause basis, whether the above criteria are met. Measures that do not justify retention as national rules will be removed from RGS. Where appropriate, production of a Rail Industry Standard (RIS) or Guidance Note (GN) will be considered. 2.3 The INS standards cover a number of technical areas that can be grouped under the headings below and it is proposed to continue to use this structure: a) Track. b) Structures. c) Stations. d) Gauging. 2.4 Supporting documents, RISs and GNs will also use this structure where appropriate. 2.5 Projects 09/003; Review and rationalisation of clearances and gauging requirements in Railway Group Standards, 12/018 Refine locomotive and freight gauges in GE/RT8073 and 13/012 Curve overthrows for articulated vehicles have resulted in a major review and restructure of relevant documents to: a) Provide vehicle manufacturers with clear requirements for the maximum build envelope for vehicles. b) Give projects clear requirements for the position of new or altered infrastructure relative to the track and the position of new or altered tracks relative to adjacent tracks. c) Define methods and criteria for assessing the compatibility between infrastructure and rolling stock. d) Enable Network Rail to decide how it controls track position in relation to clearance.

7 3 Improve decision taking on standards 3.1 When taking decisions on proposals, standards changes and deviations, the SC will take note of guidance provided by ISCC and will follow the principles set out in the RGS Code. 3.2 INS SC has a number of initiatives planned over the period of this strategy, all of which support the RGS Code. This includes developing RGSs that, where possible, refer to requirements set out in (ENs) and ensuring that requirements are aligned with those set out in the TSIs. In order to achieve this, effort will be concentrated on the provision of input to the development of fit for purpose ENs such that they can be adopted for use on the GB network. 3.3 The published combined INF TSI and the earlier HS INF TSI and the CR INF TSI set out a range of requirements that could, potentially, be applied or interpreted in different ways. The potential for this exists possibly because of different ways of expressing requirements from RGSs and the language and style that is used in the TSIs. 3.4 The GB Guidance Note (GI/GN7608) will be maintained to enable stakeholders to refer to a common guidance document which allows a consistent approach to interpreting the TSIs. It also provides guidance on compliance with applicable GB specific cases. 4 Engage effectively with European and international institutions to influence the development of European-wide and international standards 4.1 RSSB currently provides support to technical experts involved in the development of ENs in a number of topic areas related to INS SC activity. Some of these experts are RSSB staff, others are provided by industry members. INS SC is available to provide guidance where required and receives feedback on the relevant activities: a) Aerodynamics. b) Vehicle / Track Interaction. c) Gauging. d) Structural EuroCodes. 4.2 The following approaches have been adopted with respect to the development of European Standards in particular technical areas: a) Track - Maintain an overview of CEN TC 256 WG28 Track Geometry work and the implementation of results from the EU Research project DynoTrain. b) Structures Contribute to the development of structural Eurocodes and their national annexes through CEN TC 250. c) Gauging - The published gauging European standard BS EN includes a National Foreword that points to the use of RGSs for gauging on the existing network. GB input is being maintained to incorporate more of the GB methodology in future issues of the EN. 4.3 INS SC has supported the GB representatives in developing the necessary GB specific cases for the revised INF TSI.

8 5 Communicating with industry about standards so that industry is able to use standards efficiently, proposing changes to them where necessary 5.1 ISCC s Strategic Plan for , Issue Two, describes key activities in support of improving communication about the need for standards, how to use them, and how to provide feedback on their effectiveness. 5.2 ISCC s communication plan sets out the key audiences and key messages to be communicated. The prime audiences are identified as the rail industry at senior executive level and those who use standards. Here the overall aim is to improve awareness and understanding of standards regimes. The main themes are listed as: a) Standards are necessary and valuable. b) How to work with standards. c) Improving engagement between standards makers and standards users. 5.3 INS SC acknowledges the importance of keeping constituency members up to date with work that is underway to address concerns about standards, whether on specific standards or more generally, and relevant policies on standards that are being developed in Europe and GB. 5.4 More generally, INS SC notes the need to continue to correct misunderstanding and faulty perceptions about standards wherever they arise. 5.5 INS SC continues to work with constituency members and project teams to seek to improve the quality and timeliness of deviation requests to minimize project risk and be in the best long term interests of the railway. 5.6 The SC notes that briefing material on standards has been produced and that the SC has a role in using this material to help inform industry about standards. INS SC will consider how best to use available material in support of the overall aim. 6 Programme of work 6.1 Key items from the INS SC programme of work include: a) Gauging Projects 09/003, 12/018 and 13/012: the revised suite of standards were issued for industry consultation during June A large number of comments were received, which are being addressed, and publication is expected in December b) GC/RT5112 Rail Traffic Loading on Structures Project 11/011: Review has identified that the mandatory requirements are now covered by the TSI and the Eurocodes. GC/RT5112 will therefore be withdrawn and a revised Guidance Note (GC/GN5612) has been produced. Publication took place in March c) GC/RT5033 Terminal Tracks Requirements for Buffer Stops, Arresting Devices and End Impact Walls: five year review is now complete and will inform the measures review planned for Issue Two 15 April 2015 Page 8 of 9
9 d) INF TSI: the revised INF TSI was published in December 2014 for entry into force January The 12 month review of the associated GB Guidance Note (GI/GN7608) was undertaken in June 2014 and a clarification has been issued pending revision later in e) GC/RT5021 Track System Requirements: five year review planned for 2015/2016 and will include a detailed analysis to compare with the revised INF TSI. f) GE/RT8006 Assessment of Compatibility of Rail Vehicle Weights and Underline Bridges: five year review planned for 2015/2016 and will consider how to manage the combination of national technical rules and national safety rules associated with the GB specific case. 6.2 INS SC will monitor progress against the programme of work as part of normal business.
