Introducing the Online SMS Guide

The Agency is proud to launch the Online SMS Guide, a practical, user-friendly tool designed to support railway undertakings, infrastructure managers, and national safety authorities in meeting the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2018/762 and Directive (EU) 2016/798. Accessible to all without registration, this interactive guide helps applicants for a single safety certificate or safety authorisation understand the purpose behind each assessment requirement and identify the type of evidence that can support compliance. Developed in collaboration with national safety authorities and sector experts, the guide offers examples, references, and practical insights to assist in building and improving Safety Management Systems (SMS). It’s a living resource, regularly updated based on user feedback and implementation experience. Start exploring now and strengthen your approach to railway safety!Access the Online SMS Guide
