# Notice for use/Disclaimer

This Handbook may serve as the basis for a generic training material and reference guide for drivers being trained to drive under ETCS.
For driver certification purposes, it is recommended that users produce a more specific training manual by omitting from the Handbook any content that is not applicable in a particular on-board unit configuration and complementing the Handbook with information related to the specific rolling stock type on which the on-board unit is installed; the customised version of the Handbook may also be complemented with conditions enforced by relevant company rules on driver’s actions involving the ETCS on-board unit.
Users should apply similar customisation principles to generate type-specific versions of the Handbook to serve as user’s manuals for specific rolling stock types operated by specific railway undertakings in specific areas of use.
In all cases, the users shall bear the full responsibility for any customisation of the Handbook to meet any particular need.
The guide provided herewith is intended to facilitate the customisation process, yet the Agency cannot be held liable for any adverse side-effect resulting from the omission of applicable content from, or the inclusion of non-harmonised content into, any customised version of the handbook.

I agree
