Three Rail Compliance subscriptions, from a current view of legislation through to full support for your Safety Management System.

As a railway undertaking or ECM you face complex legislation, and the obligation to keep your safety management system (SMS) demonstrably controlled and current. OBV supports you with three subscriptions, so you keep your grip on compliance and safety while you concentrate on your operation.

Who it’s for

For organisations that want to stay on top of the legislation and regulation that applies to them.

  • An up-to-date document register in RailSysteem
  • Change notices with understandable advice whenever legislation changes
  • A joint quarterly meeting, four times a year
  • The option to seek advice from our lawyers

Rail Compliance+

Rail Compliance Safety Management

Securing and monitoring your Safety Management System

Who it’s for

For organisations that want to control, monitor and continuously improve their SMS demonstrably, in line with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/762.

Everything in Rail Compliance+, plus:

For operators on the Dutch local railways, trams and metros in particular, we developed an adapted version of Rail Compliance together with a municipal local-rail operator.

It covers the same ground as the main-line service:

3 of 4 local-rail operators in the Netherlands now use this service

Get in touch to discuss the options, for this variant or for another adapted version of Legal Desk Rail Compliance.
