The Light Rail Safety and Standards Board (LRSSB) have strengthened their ties with the British Standards Institute (BSI). The aim of this increased collaboration is to boost sector engagement.
Matthew Wright, Standards Manager at LRSSB, said: “Our ongoing partnership with the BSI is increasing the sector’s presence and influence in the development of future standards that may have an impact on light rail.
“By ramping up sector participation, we can ensure operators and other stakeholders are better represented and informed. By improving visibility of emerging standards and alterations, we can also reduce the risk of the sector being unaware of any changes, while supporting more proactive, coordinated responses.”
The LRSSB are now present on all relevant BSI committees and currently engaged with more than 10 EN/ISO working groups and are looking to further involve its stakeholders to ensure there is representation across all relevant groups.
