Guide for the application of the Art 14 (a) of the Safety Directive and Commission Regulation (EU) No 445/2011<br />
on a system of certification of entities in charge of maintenance for freight wagons – VERSION 1.0<br />
the existing competences;<br />
the assurance that the ECM address seriously the establishment and the<br />
updates of the maintenance files.<br />
The principles underpinning this flexibility lies on the widest and more detailed view the<br />
NSAs have, among stakeholders and interested parties, on the safety of the<br />
(European) railway system and in particular, on safety risks. NSAs have then sufficient<br />
safety maturity and knowledge of the applicants to targeting by a risk based approach<br />
the assessment of the maintenance system of the ECMs<br />

ECM certification process adapted to existing processes for safety<br />
certification (CSM CA) and supervision activities (CSM Supervision)<br />
This picture shows a possible adaptation of ECM Certification Scheme NSAs assessing<br />
together the application for a safety certificate (or safety authorisation) and for an ECM<br />
certificate.<br />
‣ Case 2: NSAs assessing the application for an ECM certificate independently of the<br />
application for a safety certificate or safety authorisation. For instance when NSAs is<br />
certifying keepers as ECMs or other companies than RU/IMs.<br />
Similarly to the case 1, the NSA has the flexibility to adapt its ECM certification process so<br />
as to deliver the ECM certificate to the applicant ECM after completing the initial audit. This<br />
flexibility is justified upon the knowledge the NSAs have on the safety risks of the railway<br />
system and therefore, lies on a risk based approach to targeting the assessment of the<br />
maintenance system of the ECMs. This can be illustrated by the following figure:<br />
