This includes areas of competence related to the operation, maintenance and integration of the railway system into the existing system. In practice, this applies to the various structural and functional subsystems of the EU rail system:

  • Infrastructure (INF)
  • Energy (ENE)
  • Control-Command and Signalling (CCS)
  • Traffic Operation and Management (OPE)
  • Maintenance (MAI)
  • Secure System Integration (SSI)
  • Rolling Stock (RST)

The independent assessment body of RailCert Hungary Kft. carries out its activities on the basis of the requirements of the MSZ EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 standard and the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 402/2013 of 30 April 2013 on the safety method for risk analysis and assessment.
