Our commitment to ensuring the steering and control of RFI’s production processes and activities relating to railway operations, occupational safety and environmental protection whilst guaranteeing efficient and effective asset management, is applied in our Management Systems and in particular: • in the Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS); • in the Asset Management System (AMS); • in the Information Security Management System.
Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS)
In order to ensure the steering and control of production processes and activities pertaining to train circulation and operation, occupational safety and environmental protection, we have defined and implemented a systematised and organic series of organisational and procedural measures which together constitute our Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS).
The Integrated Safety Management System sets our Integrated Policy that in turn ties together the Environmental Policy, Occupational Health and Safety Policy and Railway Operation Safety Policy. The Integrated Safety Management System, which complies with the international ISO 9001 standard for Quality Management Systems, is the tool serving the decision-making process on all safety-related aspects and is comprised of: • the Safety Management System (SMS) assessed by the National Agency for Railway Safety (ANSF), which issued RFI’s Safety Authorisation in June 2014 (this Safety Authorisation, as foreseen by the regulations of reference, was renewed in June 2019 and, in continuation of such, in December 2021 was re-evaluated by the National Agency for Railway and Road, Infrastructure and Motorway Safety (ANSFISA) with RFI being issued Safety Authorisation valid until 20 June 2024); • the Environmental Management System (EMS) compliant with the ISO14001 standard; • the Management System for Occupational Health and Safety compliant with the ISO45001 standard (formerly, OHSAS 18001).
AMS - Asset Management System
In order to maintain and increase the value of the railway assets and other property entrusted to us by the State through the Concession Deed, we have established a special and innovative Asset Management System (AMS), governed by international Standards ISO 55000, 55001, 55002. This system is a set of processes, procedures, tools and resources necessary to ensure the achievement of organisational objectives, and make the assets available to railway companies and all transport operators in an effective (safe) and efficient (cost-effective) manner.
In September 2019, our Asset Management System was certified in accordance with international Standard ISO 55001 for tangible immovable assets, i.e. all the elements that make up the entire national railway infrastructure, from tracks to stations.
In September 2020, we extended the scope of the certification to tangible movable assets (diagnostic trains, work vehicles, ships) and intangible assets (RFI's skills, competences and know-how).
In September 2025, the latest certification extended the scope to include the R&D and Healthcare Departments asset management systems, thus completing the framework of the types of assets an organisation is required to manage effectively and sustainably to drive value.
RFI’s Asset Management Policy, defining the principles of a proper asset management, was introduced within the company for the same purpose.
Information Security Management System
To ensure transparency and objectivity in determining the toll for use of the infrastructure by Railway Undertakings, we have equipped ourselves with an Information Security Management System in accordance with the international standard ISO/IEC 27001:2022, which enables us to guarantee the continuity and safety of train circulation data for the purpose of economic reporting of allocated paths.
The certification process for the renewal and maintenance of the Information Security Management System was handled by the IMQ S.p.A. accredited body, selected through a European tender.
