Without prejudice to Chapter V, each Member State shall authorise the placing in service of those structural subsystems constituting the rail system which are located or operated in its territory. To this end, Member States shall take all appropriate steps to ensure that these subsystems may be placed in service only if they are designed, constructed and installed in such a way as to meet the essential requirements concerning them when integrated into the rail system. In particular, they shall check: the technical compatibility of these subsystems with the system into which they are being integrated, the safe integration of these subsystems in accordance with Articles 4(3) and 6(3) of Directive 2004/49/EC.
