Register of Assessing Entities for the Common Safety Method (CSM)
In order to apply the UTP GEN-G, CSM Assessing Entities recognised and accredited on the basis of harmonised criteria are required.
Recognised and accredited CSM Assessing Entities are registered in the joint register administered by OTIF and the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) on ERA’s website.
Having a single, joint CSM register makes it easier to access information.
