5 B) Annex III(2)(i) to the Railway Safety Directive 2004/49/EC, on basic elements of the safety Management system. c) Annex II(R) to the Common Safety Methods for assessing conformity (CSM CA), on criteria for assessing conformity with the requirements for obtaining safety authorisations / safety certificates. It was therefore formally redundant as a national safety rule, and therefore also as a Railway Group Standard. As a consequence, it has been withdrawn. However, the content of GORT3118 provided a basis for the provision of plans for action, alerts and information in the case of an emergency which are to be agreed with any public body, including the emergency services, that may be involved in such an emergency required by the Schedule 1 to the railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 (as amended), which substantially reproduces the provisions of Annex III to the Railway Safety Directive 2004/49/EC.

6 GORT3118 has therefore been replaced by this Rail Industry Standard (RIS-3118-TOM for Incident Response Planning & Management ), which reproduces the content of GORT3118 in its entirety as Annex A of this document. GORT3118 was supported by GOGN3518 Guidance on Incident Response Planning & Management . GOGN3518 remains current and has been retained unchanged to support RIS-3118-TOM.

7 The Railway Group Standards Code and the Standards Manual does not currently provide a formal process for deviating from RISs.

Requests for opinions and comments should be submitted to RSSB by e-mail to When formulating a request, consideration should be given to the advice set out in the Guidance to applicants and members of Standards Committee on deviation applications , available from RSSB s website.
