Procedure

Monitoring

The Highways Agency has developed an outcome-focussed Travel Plan monitoring strategy.  This information is important to refine the approach and improve future Travel Plan performance. The process followed in our monitoring strategy is best illustrated by the diagram below:
The monitoring procedure has been broken down into six steps.  Whilst each step leads to another, the process is recurring.
 1. Set Objectives
 2. Conduct Baseline Survey
 3. Set Targets and Indicators
 4. Develop and Implement Travel Plan
 5. Data Collection and Evaluation
 6. Review ATP

At peak times, only vehicles carrying two or more people will be able to use certain lanes. The first trial of this initiative will be on the M606/M62 in Yorkshire.  More information can be found by following this link: M606/M62 in West Yorkshire.

Recognition

Through the ITB programme, the Agency was highly commended at the 2007 Travelwise Conference in Belfast, which was held in November.

* 'Smarter travel choices' are techniques for influencing people's travel behaviour towards more sustainable options such as encouraging school, workplace and individualised travel planning. They also seek to improve public transport and promote services such as travel awareness campaigns, setting up websites for car share schemes, supporting car clubs and encouraging teleworking

Section 6
Audit Operation Procedures

Article 6.1 – Quality Control Audits

Aim of process

6.1.1 The quality control process is a function of the Technical Advisory Board, (TAB) which supervises the process and renders reports and recommendations to the President/CEO.
6.1.2 The aim of Quality Control Audits is to ensure the highest level of quality, integrity and credibility of the ICTI CARE Process by using unannounced audits to control the quality and validity of the results of regularly-scheduled audits.
6.1.3 Any findings as a result of these targeted audits will then follow the procedures of Section 6.3.

Appointment of audit company

6.1.5 The TAB selects the audit company and schedules the unannounced Quality Control Audit.
6.1.6 Any of the Accredited Audit Companies can be chosen to conduct a Quality Control Audit except the company that conducted the last audit of the factory.
6.1.7 Officers of the ICTI CARE Foundation or TAB members can alternatively conduct the Quality Control Audit or personally supervise the audit and review the results.

Conduct of the audit

6.1.8 The Quality Control Audit is performed in the same manner as a regular audit using the standard audit criteria. However, QC Audits should be conducted within a maximum of 10 weeks from the last announced audit.
6.1.9 In cases where a Quality Control Audit is scheduled due to suspicion of concrete violations, the TAB may give special instructions to the audit firm.
6.1.10 Observers from or appointed by the TAB may be allowed to observe the Quality Control Audit.
Audit Report
6.1.11 The appointed audit firm conducts an unannounced audit and produces the Audit Report with a record of the findings and a conclusion as to whether the factory complies with the standards of the ICTI CARE Process. It sends this report to the TAB.
6.1.12 On the basis of their professional judgment, the TAB members review the Audit Report, assess the seriousness of violations, if any, and move forward to the remediation and/or termination procedure.
6.1.13 If no violations are found, the factory will retain its Seal of Compliance and the next Annual Audit will not have to be conducted until 12 months after the QC Audit took place.
6.1.14 A copy of the Audit Report, with requirements, is sent to the factory after the TAB review.

Type Approval Procedure

To obtain type approval it is necessary to apply to a Technical Service. The Technical Service issues a "job number" and informs the relevant approval authority (VCA, NSAI or RDW). Conformity of Production (CoP) assessment of the client is then initiated by either the Approval Authority or MIRA (if NSAI or RDWis the selected Approval Authority).

The client provides the documents specified in the directive together with the required number of sample products for assessment and testing.

The client, with advice if required, prepares a "worst case" analysis of the product range together with a draft test plan.

This analysis is assessed in a "worst case review" meeting with the Technical Service. Where the product is a single product this meeting may simply be a document exchange. Where a number of products are derived from a basic design they are assessed to identify a worst case version for testing in order to limit the amount of test work to be carried out. A documented worst case assessment is produced for the approval body as a record of the agreement. The test plan is finalised and the Type Approval fees are confirmed.

Testing is carried out on the sample product(s) with the Technical Service witnessing the test work as necessary.

The directive defines the permitted test methods and the test limits to be used for both vehicles and components for radiated immunity and for radiated emissions.

Test reports are prepared and the Technical Service provides a complete set of technical documentation and test reports to the approval authority.

Subject to a satisfactory review of the submitted documents and CoP assessment, the approval body issues a type approval certificate which authorises the manufacturer to put the "e" mark, or "E" mark, on the product(s).

Where; "XXXX" is the approval number for EMC and "yy" is the number of the country issuing the certificates.
