COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/1694
of 10 August 2023
amending Regulations (EU) No 321/2013, (EU) No 1299/2014, (EU) No 1300/2014, (EU) No 1301/2014, (EU) No 1302/2014, (EU) No 1304/2014 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/777
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the interoperability of the rail system within the European Union (1), and in particular Article 5(11) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Having regard to the role railways are called on to play in a decarbonised transport system, as envisaged by the European Green Deal and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, and in the light of developments in that field, a revision of the current Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs) is required, in the framework of the Digital Rail and Green Freight package. |
|
(2) |
Pursuant to Article 3(5), points (b) and (f) of Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2017/1474 (2) TSIs are to be reviewed in order to take into account the developments of the Union railway system and related research and innovation activities, and update references to standards. This TSI revision shall set the scene for the next TSI revision taking into account the outcomes of Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking and in particular the System Pillar achievements. |
|
(3) |
Delegated Decision (EU) 2017/1474 sets out specific objectives for the drafting, adoption and review of TSIs of the rail system within the Union. |
|
(4) |
On 24 January 2020, in accordance with Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) No 2016/796 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the Commission requested the European Union Agency for Railways (the 'Agency') to prepare recommendations implementing a selection of the specific objectives set out in Delegated Decision (EU) 2017/1474. |
|
(5) |
On 30 June 2022, the Agency issued Recommendation ERA 1175-1218 as regards the TSIs of the Union rail system covering Articles 3 to 11 of Delegated Decision (EU) 2017/1474. |
|
(6) |
It is appropriate for combined transport to be regulated through TSIs. Changes should accordingly be made, inter alia, to the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/773 (4) (OPE TSI) and TSIs set out in the Annexes to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1299/2014 (5) (TSI INF) and Commission Regulation (EU) No 321/2013 (6) (TSI WAG) and in the content of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/777 (7) (RINF). This should enable a more harmonised application of the codification system and foster the development of combined transport; for that purpose ERA will further develop an Acceptable Mean Of Compliance in accordance with Article 2(33) of Directive (EU) 2016/797. |
|
(7) |
The Union-wide authorization of passenger coaches will be a major step in fostering interoperability of the European railway network. In pursuit of that objective, the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1302/2014 (8) (TSI LOC&PAS) should be amended, in particular by harmonizing requirements and testing methods in terms of the topic of electromagnetic compatibility and compatibility with train detection systems. |
|
(8) |
The TSIs LOC&PAS and INF should be amended with a view to harmonizing the specifications applicable to rolling stock and fixed installations, notably by closing open points as regards requirements on traffic loads and load carrying capacity of infrastructure, requirements for operations with more than two pantographs at the same time, and facilitating the retrofitting of trains with Energy Measuring Systems. |
|
(9) |
Furthermore, TSI LOC&PAS should be amended to clarify the definition of special vehicles including on-track machines, infrastructure inspection vehicles, emergency vehicles, environment vehicles and road-rail vehicles and clarify the applicability of the TSIs to those vehicles. |
|
(10) |
The Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1304/2014 (9) (TSI NOI) should be amended to introduce a methodology to assess the acoustic performance of composite brake blocks at constituent level. |
|
(11) |
To enhance the level of rail safety and reliability, the TSIs WAG and LOC&PAS should be amended to incorporate a derailment detection function. |
|
(12) |
TSI WAG paves the way to the further digital automatic coupling (DAC) development, migration and implementation; its deployment will be a major step in modernising the European railway freight business. |
|
(13) |
Given that no specific new competence is required for the assessment of conformity of interoperability constituents or the verification of subsystems, there should be no change as regards the notified bodies for the purposes of Commission Regulations (EU) 321/2013, (EU) 1299/2014, (EU) 1300/2014 (10), (EU) 1301/2014 (11), (EU) 1302/2014 and (EU) 1304/2014. |
|
(14) |
It should be clarified when to apply the TSIs INF and the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1301/2014 (TSI ENE) in case of upgrade or renewal of existing subsystems and fixed installations, in order to ensure a gradual transition to a fully interoperable European railway system, in accordance with Article 4 of Directive (EU) 2016/797. |
|
(15) |
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1300/2014 (TSI PRM) should be amended to better define the basic parameters which facilitate access to railway services for persons with reduced mobility, including the introduction of the concept of interoperable wheelchair transportable by train. Further clarifications are required concerning ticket vending machines and provision of travel information in aural, visual and tactile form. |
|
(16) |
References to standards require regular updates. In order to facilitate future updates, all details about standards should be gathered in dedicated appendices to each TSI, which can then be amended without amending the TSI core text. Such approach enables the applicants to use modern IT tools which perform better for requirements capture. All TSIs on Fixed Installations and Rolling Stock should be amended accordingly. |
|
(17) |
The railway infrastructure parameters registered in the Register of Infrastructure (RINF) should also evolve, in particular by amending, the tables listing such parameters consistently with other amendments included in this Regulation and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2023/1695 (12) and (EU) 2023/1693 (13), by making the infrastructure manager the data provider replacing the national registration entity which may keep a coordination role, and by identifying future developments. |
|
(18) |
Therefore the following Regulations should be amended accordingly:
|
|
(19) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Railway Safety and Interoperability Committee |

This limit is caused by the maximum admissible braking energy corresponding to 20 t axle load with λ = 90 % and 18 t braked weight per wheelset.
If a braked weight percentage of more than 100 % is required with an axle load of more than 18 t, it is necessary to realize another type of brake system (for example disc brakes) to limit the thermal load on the wheel.’
