  "account": "On 2nd September, 2026, the CERN Safety Rules were published on the official CERN website. The safety rules include SR-M, \"Mechanical Equipment\" (revised version), EDMS 875606; GSI-M-2, \"Pressure Equipment\" (revised version), EDMS 875610; GSI-M-4, \"Cryogenic Equipment\" (revised version), EDMS 1327191; SSI-M-2-1, \"Pressure Vessels\" (revised version), EDMS 1453950; SSI-M-2-2, \"Simple Pressure Vessels\" (revised version), EDMS 1453952; and SG-M-2-1-1, \"Risk Based Inspection (RBI) Evaluation for Pressure Equipment\" (new). EDMS 3516247 was introduced due to the implementation of a new risk-based inspection concept. The updated safety rules reflect changes in EU directives and the evolution of definitions and concepts used in CERN's safety rules. The Major Safety Implication (MSI) approach has been replaced by the standard approach of authorising deviations from Safety Rules' provisions based on satisfactory risk assessment and mitigation. Any inquiries about the Safety Rules can be directed to Safety-Rules.Secretariat@cern.ch. The Safety Rules are applicable to all individuals under the authority of the Director General and can be accessed via the following link: http://www.cern.ch/safety-rules.",
