Abstract In recent years, the issue of safety management in rail transport has been widely developed, which has consequences for the participants in this market, namely infrastructure managers, railway undertakings, ECM, as well as manufacturers and distributors. This results from the need to verify the conformity of products or services with the safety criteria. A special role in this process is played by assessment bodies (AsBo). Due to the requirements of the European Commission Regulation, the place and role of these bodies in safety management in rail transport has been clearly specified. The tasks of AsBo are to verify the adequacy of the process of risk evaluation and assessment in the event of technical, operational and organizational changes in the railway system. Previous experience in Poland related to the activity of AsBo indicates that the railway market does not fully understand their essence, importance and key impact on safety in rail transport. The purpose of this paper is to identify the key tasks and challenges of assessment bodies related to improving rail transport safety in Poland.
