BS EN 14960
We have a number of new subscribers so thought I would mention the address where you can buy a copy of EN 14960 for around £12.00 unlike the £212.00 to purchase from British Standards Institute in the UK.  
I would recommend that all operators have one and then you can read for yourselves the requirements
You can purchase here

Use of TIPE Logo Etc
We have been asked a number of times if TIPE subscribers can use the TIPE logo for advertising. The answer is yes all the time you are a subscriber. This is restricted to stationary, leaflets, vehicle graphics and web sites. Those inspectors who. issue their own certificates must not include the TIPE logo on their certificates as TIPE is not a certification scheme.
