Welcome to the RSSB Consultation and Stakeholder Register.

This page is the ‘Consultation’ area where RSSB list details of all standards (and associated document) consultations managed by RSSB that are currently underway or recently completed.

This ‘forthcoming consultations’ (updated 22 February 2012) link takes you to a PDF document highlighting proposed consultations due to be published on this site over the next 6 months.

The Stakeholder Register contains a list of stakeholders and identifies, for each stakeholder, the RSSB-managed documents they will be consulted about when changes are proposed.

RSSB uses the Stakeholder Register to identify who shall be consulted or notified when changes are happening to particular documents, according to the preferences declared by the stakeholders. This reflects the targeted consultation requirements set out in the RGS Code.

The RGS Code also requires open access consultation. Therefore anyone can view the Consultation Packs on this system and forward their comments using the questionnaires provided.

If you have any questions, comments or queries about using the system then please email consultation@rssb.co.uk.

  • Requirements for Railway Vehicle Structures
 Reinstate coupling measure
During the production of the UK national reference document referred to in Article 27 of Directive 2008/57/EC (the ‘Interoperability Directive’), it has been identified that there is currently no national technical rule for the GB mainline network against parameter 9.5.1.1, ‘Staff access for coupling/uncoupling’. A new requirement for staff access for coupling and uncoupling has therefore been developed.
