RSSB manages RGSs, RISs, Rail Industry Guidance Notes, Technical Notes, and the Rule Book, as well as associated documents and tools on behalf of the GB mainline railway. RSSB, in conjunction with BSI, facilitates and coordinates rail-specific input to European and international standards. Principally this covers the following:
European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC)
International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
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 presentations with details of changes to standards.
Please get in touch if you would like to know more. For any general enquiries please follow the ‘Contact us’ link at the bottom of our homepage and complete the simple form. This allows us to expedite and track your enquiry.
If you have a problem with a standard or have suggestions for improvement, we recommend using our ‘Request for Help’ process. By completing our clear ‘Request for Help’ form and providing some simple information, you will enable us to work with you effectively. We can help you to determine the most suitable course of action which might range from advice, a deviation application, or a change to a standard.
If you know that you require a deviation, you can apply for one directly. On our website, we explain the process for considering your application and give guidance on what your application needs to be successful.
Membership of RSSB provides companies with access to a broader range of products, services, support, and discounts on the additional services that we provide, such as training.
