On behalf of the GB mainline railway, RSSB manages RGSs, RISs, Rail Industry Guidance Notes, and the Rule Book, as well as associated documents and tools. RSSB, in conjunction with BSI, facilitates and coordinates rail-specific input to European and international standards. Principally this covers: European Committee for Standardization (CEN), European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Details of our standards activities are available on our website. This includes additional guidance, such as ‘How to apply standards’, video extracts from our standards update webinars, and interactive PowerPoint presentations that brief about changes to standards.
