Since 2010, the Regulation, which defines the requirements and procedures of on-site inspections by the government before the approval of railway revenue service, had been implemented to ask an Independent Verification and Validation report. The report should be issued to the government before the on-site inspections. However, the details of this report are not defined in the Regulation, including the content of the report, the qualifications of issuers, and the scope of certifications. This study reviewed the similar mechanisms adopted in international railway systems, and summarized the practical problems in recent local projects to suggest: (1) The title of “Independent Verification and Validation Report for Whole System” should be modified to be “Independent Certification Report for Whole System”. (2) The content of this certification report are the results of conformity assessment for operation safety. (3) The requirements of independent certification shall be pre-planned in detailed planning. (4) In long-term, the mechanism shall be established to ensure the independency (impartiality) and professional expertise are included in the required qualifications for report issuers. |
