§ 3 All concerned entities shall participate in the
assessment by providing free of charge the requisite data
unless covered by intellectual property rights.
Article 8
UTP
§ 1 The adopted UTP shall be published on the website of the
Organization.
§ 2 In principle, each subsystem shall be subject to one UTP.
Where relevant, a subsystem may be covered by several UTP and
one UTP may cover several subsystems.
§ 2a The UTP shall apply to new subsystems. They shall also
apply to an existing subsystem when it is renewed or
upgraded. The application shall be in accordance with the
migration strategy referred to in § 4 f).
§ 3 After the notification process according to Article 35 §§
3 and 4 of the Convention and at least one month before entry
into force, the Secretary General shall publish on the
website of the Organisation
(a)) the adopted and notified UTP;
(b)), the date of its entry into force;
c) the list of Contracting States to which this UTP
applies;
(d)) the updated list of UTP and their date of entry
into force.
4. To the extent necessary to achieve the aim set out in
Article 3, the UTP referring to subsystems shall at least:
a) indicate its intended scope (part of network or vehicles;
subsystem or part of subsystem);
b) lay down essential requirements for each subsystem
concerned and its interfaces vis-à-vis other subsystems;
c) establish the functional and technical specifications to
be met by the subsystem and its interfaces vis-à-vis other
subsystems. If need be, these specifications may vary
According to the use of the subsystem, for example according
to the categories of line, hub and/or vehicles;
d) determine the elements of construction or interoperability
constituents and interfaces which must be covered by
technical standards, which are necessary to achieve
interoperability within the rail system;
e) state, in each case under consideration, which procedures
are to be used in order to assess the conformity with the
provisions of the UTP. These procedures shall be based on the
assessment modules defined in (a) general UTP referred to in
§ 8;
f) indicate the strategy for implementing the UTP. In
particular, it is necessary to specify the stages to be
completed in order to make a gradual transition from the
existing situation to the final situation in which compliance
with the UTP shall be the norm; for each stage, appropriate
transitional provisions shall be included and
g) indicate, for the staff concerned, the professional
qualifications and health and safety conditions at work
required for the operation and maintenance of the subsystem
concerned, as well as for the implementation of the UTP.
§ 5 Each UTP shall be drawn up on the basis of an examination
of an existing subsystem and indicate one or more target
subsystems that may be obtained gradually within a reasonable
time scale. Accordingly, the gradual adoption of the UTP and
compliance therewith will help gradually to achieve the
interoperability of the rail system.
§ 6 The UTP shall retain, in an appropriate manner, the
compatibility of the existing rail system of each Contracting
State. With this objective, provision may be made in each UTP
for "specific cases" covering one or more Contracting States,
with regard to both network and vehicles; Special attention
must be given to the loading gauge, the track gauge or space
between the tracks and to vehicles originating from or
destined for third countries. For each specific case, the UTP
shall stipulate the implementing rules of the elements
indicated in § 4 c) to (g)).
§ 7 If certain technical aspects corresponding to the
essential requirements cannot be explicitly covered in the
UTP, they shall be clearly identified in it as "open
points ".
§ 8 The Committee of Technical Experts may adopt UTP which do
Note refer to subsystems, such as general provisions,
essential requirements or assessment modules.
§ 9 The UTP shall have a two column format. Text which
appears in full width without columns is identical to
corresponding texts of the European Union Technical
Specifications for Interoperability (TSI). Text which is
split into two columns is different for the UTP and for the
corresponding TSI or other corresponding European Union
regulations. The left hand column shows the UTP text (OTIF
regulations), while the right hand column shows the European
Union TSI text. On the far right the TSI reference is
indicated.
Article 8a
Deficiencies in UTP
§ 1 If it comes to the attention of the Committee of
Technical Experts that an adopted UTP contains errors or
deficiencies including where an adopted UTP does not fully
meet the essential requirements, the Committee shall take the
appropriate measures, including:
(a)) the decision whether the relevant UTP may need to be
amended in accordance with Articles 6 and 8 and
b) recommendations for justified provisional solutions.
§ 2 The Contracting States, a regional organization and
assessing bodies have the obligation to inform the Secretary
General without delay if they discover errors or deficiencies
in a UTP.
Article 9
