(b)the area of use of a vehicle is extended in accordance with Article 54(3) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 to at least three Member States, or the installation of ETCS is indicated in RINF for the subsequent five years in the new area of use. In that case point 7.4.2.3 of Annex I to this Regulation shall apply;

(c)the subsystem is subject to the specification maintenance requirements set out in point 7.2.10 of Annex I to this Regulation.

Configuration management
means a systematic organisational, technical and administrative process put in place throughout the lifecycle of a CCS subsystem to ensure that the consistency of the documentation and the traceability of the changes are established and maintained so that:
failure
means the termination of the ability of an item to perform a required function with the required performance and “failure mode” means the effect by which the failure is observed.
failure mode
means the effect by which the failure is observed.
operational test scenario
means a sequence of trackside and on-board events related to or influencing the Control-command and Signalling subsystems (e.g. sending/receiving messages, exceeding a speed limit, actions of operators) and the specified timing between them in order to test the intended railway system operation in situations relevant for ETCS, ATO and RMR (e.g. entry of a train into an equipped area, awakening of a train, overriding a signal at stop).
Representative configuration
means a configuration on the basis of which test results can be achieved, which are valid for various configurations of the same certified ETCS on-board interoperability constituent or of a certified on-board subsystem.
