Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1694 of 10 August 2023 amending Regulations (EU) No 321/2013, (EU) No 1299/2014, (EU) No 1300/2014, (EU) No 1301/2014, (EU) No 1302/2014, (EU) No 1304/2014 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/777 (Text with EEA relevance)

• — Sampling: The acoustic roughness of 1 wheel shall be measured.

• — Averaging: the RMS average of the acoustic roughness shall be used.

The result is a representative one-third octave wavelength wheel roughness spectrum in the wavelength domain L r.

2. Derive a scalar indicator from the measured wheel roughness

L r in step 1

3. Pass-fail criterion

The indicator measured in step 2 shall be lower than or equal to 1.

The indicator measured in step 2 as well as the representative one-third octave wavelength wheel roughness spectrum in the wavelength domain Lr shall be recorded in the IC certificate.

Appendix G

Exempted brake blocks

The blocks listed below are exempted from an EC Declaration of conformity until 28 September 2033. Until that date, the manufacturer or its representative may notify to the Commission the need to revise the pass-fail criterion set out in point 3 of Appendix F or the methodology set out in that Appendix.

Appendix H

Changes of requirements and transition regimes

For other TSI points than these listed in Table H.1 and Table H.2, compliance with the ‘previous TSI’ (i.e. this Regulation as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/774 ⁴⁷) imply compliance with this TSI applicable from 28 September 2023.

Changes with a generic transition regime of 7 years:

For TSI points listed in Table H.1, compliance with the previous TSI does not imply compliance with the version of this TSI applicable from 28 September 2023.

Projects already in design phase on 28 September 2023 shall comply with the requirement of this TSI from 28 September 2030.

Projects in production phase and rolling stock in operation are not affected by the TSI requirements listed in Table H.1.

Table H.1

Transition regime of 7 years

Changes with a specific transition regime:

For TSI points listed in Table H.2, compliance with the previous TSI does not imply compliance with this TSI applicable from 28 September 2023.

Projects already in design phase on 28 September 2023, projects in production phase, and rolling stock in operation shall comply with the requirement of this TSI in accordance with the respective transition regime set out in Table H.2 starting from 28 September 2023.

ANNEX VII

The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/777 is amended as follows:

• (1) point 3 is replaced by:

‘3.   COMMON CHARACTERISTICS

The characteristics set out in this Annex shall be applied across the Union rail system, as a common vocabulary specification enabling:

• (1) the infrastructure managers to publish their railway network data;

• (2) the railway undertakings and any other infrastructure data users to access and use these data.’;

• (2) a new point (6) is added in point 3.1 as follows:

• ‘(6) “common characteristics subset” means a subset of items shared by sections of lines and/or operational points.’;

• (3) point 3.2.1 is replaced by the following:

• ‘3.2.1. For the purposes of the register of infrastructure, each infrastructure manager shall describe its railway network at least by sections of line and operational points and optionally via common characteristic subsets.’;

• (4) point 3.3.3 is replaced as follows:

• ‘3.3.3. The value of a parameter shall be provided when the corresponding item exists on the network that is described in accordance with the deadlines in Table 1.

The data presentation of the parameters listed in Table 1 shall be in accordance with the ERA Vocabulary referred to in Article 7a and referenced in Appendix A-1, index [A].

Any information relevant to the parameters is provided in Table 1. When Table 1 refers to a document of the infrastructure manager, the infrastructure manager in accordance with Article 5 shall submit such document to the Agency in an electronic format. Documents referred to in parameters 1.1.1.1.2.4.4, 1.1.1.1.6.4, 1.1.1.1.6.5, 1.1.1.3.7.1.3 and 1.1.1.3.11.3 shall be submitted in two EU languages.’;

• (5) Table 1 is replaced by the following:
