Details
This guidance is intended as an aid for stakeholders to explain the process of seeking an authorisation for structural subsystems in Great Britain.
It covers the stages from the design and construction of a structural subsystem through to its use on the rail system.
Although the Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2011 (RIR 2011) is UK-wide in its application, different rules and processes may need to be applied in Northern Ireland, due to the application of the Northern Ireland Protocol.
