Establishing a structured framework for TSI certification and authorisation
Training provided for:
- TSI certification (NoBo) system for locomotives, passenger rolling stocks and freight wagons
- NNTR certification (DeBo) and risk assessment (AsBo) systems for locomotives, passenger rolling stocks and freight wagons
- Risk assessment (AsBo) systems
- Access process for railway products to the European Union
- EC certificate system and standard for European Union rolling stock equipment and products
Our approach
The project addressed the need to strengthen organisational knowledge and capability in relation to Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) certification and the accreditation process for acting as a Notified Body (NoBo). The customer is involved in high-speed rail systems and required a structured understanding of authorisation processes applicable to rolling stock and infrastructure projects.
Increasing regulatory complexity and evolving European authorisation requirements made it necessary to build internal competence in certification workflows, roles, and responsibilities. The objective of the project was to establish a clear, practical and reliable framework for understanding, structuring, and managing TSI-related authorisation activities across different project types.
PROSE delivered interactive, on-site training workshops tailored to the customer’s specific role and regulatory context. Our approach combined structured theoretical input with practical examples drawn from real TSI certification and authorisation projects across the European railway sector.
Key elements of the TSI framework, the NNTRs, the CSM Regulation, the role of a Notified Body (NoBo), a Designated Body (DeBo), an Independent Assessment Body (AsBo), and typical certification and authorisation processes were explained step by step and discussed in detail with the participants. Throughout the workshops, PROSE addressed customer-specific questions and scenarios, ensuring direct applicability to ongoing and future activities.
Customer benefit
Through its collaboration with PROSE, the client gained a clear, structured and practical understanding of the certification and approval processes in accordance with the TSI, NNTR and other safety regulations. The training strengthened internal competence and confidence in dealing with regulatory requirements and interactions with external stakeholders.
PROSE’s independent position and broad industry experience ensured an objective and practice-oriented perspective, grounded in real-world railway projects. This enabled the customer to build sustainable internal know-how, reduce dependency on external clarification, and establish a solid foundation for future certification and accreditation activities.
