2 1. Key issues from the last six months (UK standards) 1. Electrical clearances remain an issue: RSSB has agreed to work with Network Rail to consider the risk assessment methodology at the design and use stages. Work supporting AC and DC rule books and GLRT New Railway Industry Standard to be published. 1500V and 750V dc overhead line systems (Tram trains). 3. Reconciliation of differing opinions into a single Network Rail position. 2

3 2. Key issues from the last six months (TSIs) 1. Revisions to ENE TSI 2018 Energy Metering open point. Currently available for consultation. Related changes to LOC & PAS TSI Expected to be published mid Fourth Railway package Technical and operational issues of the use of multiple pantographs, provisions to improve energy efficiency, and review and increase of number of interoperability constituents and taking into account Ex Post Evaluation comments. Start up meeting in December UK attendance from RSSB (via CER) and Network Rail (via EIM). ERA keen for UK input. ENE TSI Mirror Group will be reconvened. Develop a strategic plan. 3

RSSB has agreed to work with Network Rail to consider the risk assessment methodology at the design and use stages, to meet the challenge of developing usable rules that comply with employers obligations under the Electricity at Work Regulations. Revisions to AC and DC rule books. New guidance for risk assessment of operation. Support for GLRT 1210 requirements for electrification design. 2. Chair will ask ENE SC if they wish to submit a request for help to initiate a revision to GLRT1210 to: Apply the current strategy for National Technical Rules. Review effect of the ENE TSI in the revision to be published in Review effect of the changes to GMRT2111 requested by RST SC. Align with risk assessments and align with Network Rail safety processes. RIS for any requirements that are not suitable as National Technical Rules. New rules to address operation of bi mode rolling stock. 7
