What is CSM REA?

EU Regulation 402/2013, the Common Safety Method for Risk Evaluation and Assessment (CSM REA), sets a standardized approach for assessing and managing risks in the railway sector. It ensures that safety levels remain consistent across Europe’s railway systems. The regulation requires professionals to identify hazards, analyze risks, and implement safety measures to mitigate those risks. By following CSM REA, railway projects meet the highest safety standards and comply with regulatory requirements.

CSM REA mandates safety assessments at various stages of a railway project, from design to operation, ensuring continuous evaluation and improvement of safety measures. It provides a clear process for railway professionals to manage risks and prioritize safety. The regulation works in alignment with other European safety standards, such as EN 50126, EN 50128, and EN 50129, forming a comprehensive framework for safety assurance in railway systems throughout Europe.
