Introduction
The introduction of EN ISO 9001 quality management systems to an organization providing national or
international goods transport services by road or rail, can present difficulties to those, unused to applying such
systems to a service environment. In addition, the frequently expressed split of responsibility for various
elements of the transport process can make it difficult to identify just how far that quality management system
can be expected to apply.
The guidance provided in this European Standard is designed to assist in resolving these difficulties by
highlighting those clauses of EN ISO 9001 where such differences of application, between the more usual
production environment and that of transport services, are likely to be found and by indicating what additional
actions or precautions should be taken to ensure that the resulting quality management system is effective.
This guidance European Standard does not add any requirement above those mentioned in EN ISO 9001.

4.2.1 General
All documentation should be cross-referenced for ease of use. When preparing procedures and instructions,
the skills/training of personnel should be considered. Operating procedures should address the requirements
of legislation applicable, e.g. speed limits and driving time according to the European Regulation or ADR/RID
Directives.
A "drivers handbook' on the organization's procedures regarding, for example, the following: daily vehicle
inspections and reporting, inspection and acceptance of customer's product, loading/unloading, incident
reporting, emergency procedures, inclusion or reference to legislation applicable to drivers, is regarded as an
operating procedure and an integral part of the quality system.
documented procedures needed to provide the service agreed with the customer, or reference to them;
and
description of the interaction between the processes of the quality management system.
Documents required by the quality management system should include, in addition to the required
documented procedures for the provision of the service, applicable national or international standards, codes
of practice, legislative requirements, service manuals and data (when maintenance or repair work is
completed by the organization) etc.

5 Management responsibility
5.4 Planning
The requirement is largely self-explanatory. The organization and management structure including lines of
authority and communication are usually documented in an organization chart. Responsibilities and levels of
authority for the personnel (incl. drivers) may be in the form of specific job description or covered within
individual documented processes.
NOTE For multi-site companies, there should be an identified member of staff with responsibility for the functioning of
the quality system for each site, as well as in the individual company divisions.

5.6.1 General
NOTE Records of management reviews should indicate the actions decided upon, the effectiveness of such actions
during subsequent reviews and the extent to which quality objectives have been achieved.
--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
6 Resource management
Sufficient and appropriate resources in the form of equipment, facilities and trained personnel should be
provided, applicable to the service undertaken, to meet the needs of the business and its customers.
6.2.1 General
NOTE Training documents should provide verification of the fact that personnel have been selected based on their
capabilities to satisfy specified workplace criteria.
6.3 Infrastructure
7 Product realization
Where existing documented procedures do not cover the service agreed in the contract, additional plans
should be prepared to cover these aspects.
Care should be taken to ensure that these are compatible with the requirements of the existing quality
management system. Quality plans need not be stand-alone documents. They may be included within other
documentation but should clearly show how the quality of the services provided are to be controlled.
NOTE The product of the service provider is the service agreed with the customer.
Every order from a customer, whether verbal, written or communicated electronically, should be regarded as a
contract and should clearly specify the service to be provided by the organization. This can range from, e.g. a
telephone request by an authorised person in the traffic office, to a long term major warehousing and
distribution contract which should need to be reviewed by top management. Contracts should be entered in an
appropriate and permanent format.
In the transportation industry the requirements related to the product can be identified by:
means of quotations (tenders), wherein the intended service and conditions are provided in detail;
--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
means of transport agreements with specification of the services agreed upon and the general terms;
means of consignment notes, wherein the general physical terms for the transport of goods (contract of
carriage) are specified.
Transport feasibility should be checked before submission of tenders, the signing of a transport agreement or
acceptance of a consignment note.
Only the parties having concluded the contract. or their .authorized-representatives, should be permitted to
make amendments to the contract.
All amendments should be acknowledged and confirmed by all of the parties of their authorized
representatives.
If the amendment is concerned with a new technical area, that has not been incorporated previously, then
confirmation should also be obtained from this technical area.
Information concerning the type and manner of amendment of the personnel involved should be specified and
performed by the competent technical area.
Procedures should be established and documented to ensure that all amendments are communicated to the
relevant personnel.

This requirement applies in situations, where the organization is developing new services. The planning of
operations agreed with the customer falls in the scope of clause 7.2.
7.4 Purchasing
The purchased product can be services or equipments, facilities etc., which are incorporated in the service
process offered to the customer.
The selection and control of a supplier and his performance should be based on their ability to meet the
requirements defined in the purchasing document. Criteria for selection could include:
registration to a recognised European Standard (e.g. EN ISO 9001) by an accredited third party
certification body;
historical evidence of consistent and reliable performance. There should be objective evidence of analysis
of past performance with defined acceptance criteria;
--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Evaluation of subcontractor supplies and services should be correspondingly documented. These records
may take the form of lists, files, or computer files in a specified form. These documents should contain
information regarding the selection guidelines employed for the evaluation procedure. Selection guidelines
should be reviewed on a regular basis with regard to validity.

NOTE An authorised record of details, including relevant specifications given in a telephone order is acceptable if
covered within purchasing process.
Temperature controlled storage/transportation, load bearing and structural welding are examples of processes
needing validation to ensure that specific requirements are met. The organization’s capabilities and the
efficiency of the pre-defined procedures in monitoring these processes should be demonstrated.
The degree of identification and traceability may be the subject of specific contract conditions.
All goods being conveyed should be identified and where necessary be traceable, by providing information on
the geographical position and status (in transit, expected, deferred, etc.). The commercial and technical
features should be clearly shown through carriage information: consignor, consignee, shipper, haulage

These are products, that the customer owns and gives to the organization for use in providing their services.
The main customer property is the product, which the organization is transporting, storing and/or distributing.
The organization can only be held responsible for ensuring that the quality of the product is maintained to the
same or agreed standard whilst in his control.
returnable packaging;
The procedures should contain the specifications, which are to be met by these products or services as well
as information on how non-conformity is to be determined, recorded and communicated to the customer.
No additional guidance is required. It is expected that procedures covering these requirements have been
addressed under 7.5.1.
Equipment used to check conformity to specified requirements at any stage during the service delivery
process should be checked and calibrated.
The types of equipment, which should be covered may include for example:
pressure gauges;
equipment associated with maintenance including torque wrenches, tyre pressure and depth gauges etc.;
and
environmental monitoring equipment for special storage requirements, e.g. temperature and humidity.

8.2 Monitoring and measurement
A non-conforming product should be understood as a service, which does not meet specifications agreed
upon with the customer with regard to deadlines, condition of the goods or information provided or which runs
the risk of not meeting such requirements.
Procedures should be established to show who is responsible for dealing with problems and deciding what
should be to solve about the problem in company headquarters, shunting station, railway station etc. The
