Independent safety assessment (ISA)
Independent safety assessment involves making a judgement against a set of requirements about the safety adequacy of a product, system or process in a particular context and environment. It may require demonstration of compliance to recognised standards but for specific situations full compliance may not be necessary.

Major Project Assurance
Governments and other stakeholders often wish to gain assurance that a large and complex system, like a new railway, meets appropriate requirements for issues such as safety, RAM, operability and performance. As well as Independent Safety Assessment (ISA) and statutory certification activities, there is a need for one body to take an overview of the whole system.

Notified body
Notified Bodies are appointed by members of the European Union to carry out conformity assessment against European Directives. For rail, these are Directive 96/48/EC for the Interoperability of the Trans Europe High Speed Rail System and Directive 2001/16/EC for the interoperability of the conventional European rail system.
