Request exemption from full and partial application of the Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSI)

Service Description

If you are developing or building a rail vehicle that is to operate in Germany, you need a vehicle type approval or an authorization for placing on the market. Your approval may not be possible or may be hindered due to the application of the current TSI.

If this applies to you, you can apply to the Federal Railway Authority (EBA) for an exemption from the partial or full application of the TSI in 4 cases.

These are the following cases:

  1. The project is at an advanced stage of development at the time a new TSI comes into force or is the subject of a contract currently being implemented.
  2. The economic viability of the project or the coherence of the rail system in the Federal Republic of Germany is affected by the application of a new TSI.
  3. These are vehicles that are also intended to operate in third countries with a track gauge other than the standard gauge.
  4. Following an accident, including a terrorist attack or a natural disaster, the network must be restored quickly.
