Risk Acceptance Criteria, which are to be applied for the aims of achieving
mutual recognition whenever the third risk acceptance principle (the explicit
risk estimation) is applied, are still under development, and are therefore
going to be clarified at a later moment in time.
At this stage, it is important to underline that in order to help the actors
from railway sector for the application of the CSM on risk assessment, the
ERA has also issued the following two informative and not legally binding
documents:
- Guide for the application of the Commission Regulation on CSM on risk
assessment [8];
- Collection of examples of risk assessments and some possible tools sup-
porting the CSM [9].
These two documents are translated in all EU languages where Member
States operate railway and have been made available on the web site of the
Agency. Thus, they are meant to represent the first emergency help for the
railway actors, who encounter diculties in the application of the CSM Reg-
ulation.
