UK Notified Bodies (UK NoBos) are UK bodies authorised to assess the compatibility of works or equipment with Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) as part of the system to effectively and safely allow the interoperability of railway services within the European Union.
UK Notified Bodies may be appointed by ministers of HM Government under The Railways (Interoperability) (Notified Bodies) Regulations 2000 in six railway TSI areas: Control Centres and Signalling, Energy, Infrastructure, Maintenance, Operations and Rolling Stock.
Four companies operate as UK Notified Bodies in all six TSI areas:
- Atkins
- Interfleet
- Lloyd's Register
- Mott MacDonald.
Famous quotes containing the words notified and/or bodies:
“A gorgeous example of denial is the story about the little girl who was notified that a baby brother or sister was on the way. She listened in thoughtful silence, then raised her gaze from her mother’s belly to her eyes and said, “Yes, but who will be the new baby’s mommy?””
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“The will to domination is a ravenous beast. There are never enough warm bodies to satiate its monstrous hunger. Once alive, this beast grows and grows, feeding on all the life around it, scouring the earth to find new sources of nourishment. This beast lives in each man who battens on female servitude.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
