Starting November Thalys is authorised to operate passenger services on high-speed and conventional railway lines in France. Thus, Thalys operates under its own safety certification after the French Railway Safety Authority (L’Établissement Public de Sécurité Ferroviaire – EPSF) granted the operator a certificate Part B, which demonstrates the operator complies with national safety provisions. The certification is part of the reclassification of Thalys as an independent operator, a process which is due to be completed in march 2015. Thalys has already received Part A, a Europe-wide certificate which covers general safety management arrangements.
