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 2014 – 2019. 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 2014 - 2019 in January
2015 and approved it subject to agreed updates.
ISCC, in turn, has asked each Standards Committee (SC) to create 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 is mindful of the
development and implementation of the Fourth Railway Package, which
(amongst other less relevant legislation) includes revised Interoperability
and Safety Directives and changes to responsibility for approvals.
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) and improved understanding of
authorisation and safety management processes will continue over several
years.
Issue Two of the Traffic Operation and Management Standards Committee
(TOM SC) Strategic Plan was agreed by the members of the TOM SC on
28th July 2015, for the period 2015 – 2016. It sets the SC’s overall strategy
for the period and priorities.
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 operation of TOM SC is governed by its remit which was approved by
ISCC on the 19 September 2014.
Within the scope defined in the remit, the Committee’s coverage includes
train operation, signalling and infrastructure operation, workforce safety and
safety management systems. It includes working instructions for people
employed in a range of activities on the main line railway network (the Rule
Book and other National Operations Publications).
The coverage therefore includes:
a) European and GB standards and working instructions for passenger
and freight train operations (including train dispatch).
b) GB train signalling regulations.
c) GB standards for planning, managing and investigating accidents,
incidents and emergencies.
d) GB standards and working instructions for safe systems of work on
infrastructure.
e) European and GB standards for safety management systems,
including safety information and communications.
f)
Operations technical content of GB National Occupational Standards
for competence.
The coverage excludes engineering requirements for rail vehicles, track,
signalling and communications systems and the maintenance and renewal
of these systems.
The Committee’s coverage includes consideration of requirements relating
to activities dealt with in general, multifunctional documents in so far as
they affect items within the Committee’s coverage. Such activities include
drugs and alcohol policies and working hours.
The technical scope of the Committee is co-terminus with the scope of the
Traffic Operation and Management sub-system, as defined in the
Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC.
1.3
Relevant strategies or initiatives
TOM SC will be regularly updated on the initiative to develop a National
Implementation Plan for the Operation and Traffic Management Technical
Specification for Interoperability (OPE TSI).
TOM SC will be kept informed of the work being undertaken on the
emerging Strategy for Standards.
TOM SC will continue to support the Digital Railway programme through
the timely delivery on GB standards, operating instructions and train
signalling regulations.
Issue two – September 2015
Page 5 of 14
Traffic Operation and Management Standards Committee Strategic Plan
TOM SC will continue to oversee the work being undertaken by its subgroups: Driver Selection Governance Group and GSM-R Failures Working
Group.
TOM SC will be the Client Group for the project to develop a Digital Rule
Book, responsible for:
a) establishing a vision, championing the project to others, ensuring
that the right people are involved at all stages,
b) representing stakeholder interests, making decisions on their behalf
and documenting the decision-making process; and
c) provide steering group members from their organisation to help
scope project requirements.
1.4
Summary of key changes to the plan for 2015 – 2016
This version of the strategic plan has been rewritten to better align it with
ISCC’s Strategic Plan, whilst taking into consideration:
a) The revised Operation and Traffic Management Technical
Specification for Interoperability (2015/995/EU), published on 30
June 2015.
b) The forthcoming Strategy for Standards.
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.

Strategic issues and key activities for 2015 – 2016
This section sets out the Traffic Operation and Management Standards
Committee key activities in relation to ISCC’s strategic objectives.
The ‘issue description’ and ‘what success would look like’ statements for
each of ISCC’s strategic objectives have been included to avoid the need
for the reader to cross reference (see boxed text).
2.1
Produce a coherent and efficient suite of standards for the GB
mainline railway that are aligned with European requirements
Issue description
Industry would benefit from establishing the concept of having a suite
of standards with a hierarchy of documents – Technical Specifications
for Interoperability (TSIs), national technical rules, national safety rules,
voluntary standards (for example, European standards (ENs) and Rail
Industry Standards) and guidance as necessary – that are aligned with
European requirements as set out in the directives on interoperability
and safety.
Issue two – September 2015
Page 6 of 14
Traffic Operation and Management Standards Committee Strategic Plan
What success would look like
Standards contain the minimum number of necessary requirements to
provide a set of coherent documents, where any current gaps,
duplication or perceived contradictions are resolved. The documents
will be aligned with European directives on interoperability and safety.
In line with guidance from ISCC and following the scope extension of the
TSIs, TOM SC has developed a plan to review 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).
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 RGSs. Where
appropriate, production of a Rail Industry Standard (RIS) or Guidance Note
(GN) will be considered.
In addition, TOM SC will be considering the following key developments,
which are likely to influence its activities for the remainder of CP5:
a) The publication of the revised Operation and Traffic Management
Technical Specification for Interoperability (2015/995/EU), published
on 30 June 2015,
b) The forthcoming RSSB led Strategy for Standards; and
c) Digital Rule Book proposal.
The impact of these will need to be considered within the context of this
objective and the RGSs for which TOM SC is the designated Lead
Standards Committee (see Appendix A).
a) The OPE TSI activities include:
I.
The development of the National Implementation Plan, which
it is assumed RSSB will lead on behalf of the member state
(Department for Transport).
II.
An evaluation of the impact of the National Implementation
Plan on RGSs.
III.
The development of a migration plan that satisfies the
commitments defined within the National Implementation
Plan.
Issue two – September 2015
Page 7 of 14
Traffic Operation and Management Standards Committee Strategic Plan
IV.
The generation of evidence/data that will support potential
challenges/changes to the content of TSIs in an objective
manner.
V.
The delivery of issue 2 of GO/GN3615 Guidance on the
Operation and Traffic Management Technical Specification
for Interoperability.
b) The Strategy for Standards activities include: the development and
implementation of an effective implementation plan that satisfies the
high level requirements defined within the strategy in an efficient
manner.
c) The Digital Rule Book is a proposal to develop a digital product that
enables the user to access the content of GE/RT8000 in a variety of
ways [internet based and mobile applications], key activities include:
2.2
I.
The definition of the project scope.
II.
The development of a positive business case.
III.
The development of an effective delivery plan.
Improve decision taking on standards
Issue description
Industry should take decisions about standards in a manner that ensures
that standards promote a cost-effective, efficient and compatible means of
rail system delivery, whilst providing for a safe railway.
What success would look like
An approach to decision taking on standards that ensures the economic
benefits and all other relevant factors of delivering the rail system are
incorporated appropriately when taking decisions on proposals, standards
changes and deviations and when drafting standards and compiling
impact assessments.
When taking decisions on proposals, standards changes and deviations,
TOM SC will take note of guidance provided by ISCC and will follow the
principles set out in the RGS Code and in the TOM SC remit.
The basis on which a decision is made by TOM SC will be recorded as
appropriate in the minutes of the meeting when the decision was made.
TOM SC’s remit was revised in September 2014, at which point the
Committee decided to invite RSSB’s Head of Standards Policy to join the
committee as an observer. This has added to the quality of discussions
and decision making, and has ensured that key regulatory issues are
highlighted and clarified immediately during the committee’s deliberations
and discussions.
Issue two – September 2015

Traffic Operation and Management Standards Committee Strategic Plan
2.3
Improve industry’s understanding of the European regulatory
framework
Issue description
Industry needs to understand the use of TSIs, national technical rules and
national safety rules in authorisation for placing into service, checking
technical compatibility and demonstrating safe integration, and their use in
managing the operational railway system, in order to contribute to
influencing the development of the European regulatory framework.
What success would look like
The industry is able to contribute to influencing the development of the
European regulatory framework and improving the quality of European
regulations.
RSSB’s Standards Policy team and TOM SC Chair have worked together
closely to enhance the committee’s understanding of the regulatory
framework and standards, as well as RSSB and the SC’s roles and
responsibilities within that framework, for example:
a) In January 2015 a Legal and Regulatory Framework briefing was
given to the SC.
b) In September 2015 a briefing session concerning the application of
the Common Safety Method – Risk Assessment (CSM-RA) is
scheduled.
c) In January 2016 a briefing related to the assessment and
responsibilities associated with deviation applications is planned.
2.4
Engage effectively with European and international institutions to
influence the development of European-wide and international
standards
Issue description Industry needs to engage effectively with European and
international institutions in order to influence the development and content
of European-wide and international standards.
What success would look like
ISCC is able to influence the development and improve the quality of
European-wide and international standards, namely TSIs, ENs and
International Standards Organisation (ISO) standards, on behalf of the GB
rail industry.
The membership of TOM SC includes representatives that fulfil active roles
with the European Arena i.e. National Safety Authority (NSA), Community
of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER) and European
Infrastructure Managers (EIM).
Issue two – September 2015
Page 9 of 14
Traffic Operation and Management Standards Committee Strategic Plan
The TOM SC agenda includes standing items which ensure the
Committee’s European mirroring responsibilities are routinely considered.
This provides the NSA, CER and EIM representatives with the opportunity
to advise the Committee on their activities. Moreover, it provides an
opportunity for the Committee to influence related decisions.
2.5
Communicating with industry about standards so that industry is able
to use standards efficiently, proposing changes to them where
necessary
Issue description
Improve industry’s understanding about the role of standards, how to use
them, and how to provide feedback on their effectiveness.
What success would look like
GB industry has a well-developed understanding of the benefits that
standards bring to the rail industry and how standards work. GB industry –
individuals and groups at all levels of industry – provides Standards
Committees and ISCC with useful and enthusiastic feedback and
Standards Committees and ISCC act on that feedback.
2.1
TOM SC notes that briefing material on standards will be produced and that
TOM SC has a role in using this material to help inform industry about
standards. Once the briefing material is available, TOM SC will consider
how best to use this in support of the overall aim.
2.2
TOM 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.
2.3
More generally, TOM SC notes the need to continue to correct
misunderstanding and faulty perceptions about standards wherever they
arise.
2.4
RSSB, in support of TOM SC, will continue to use opportunities to brief
constituencies on the purpose and content of standards. In particular
efforts will be made to brief the role of NTRs and NSRs in authorisation and
approvals processes. This will complement wider briefing by RSSB in
conjunction with industry partners on the CSM RA.
