Guys when you are operating to 125m rvr you may not self assess the first segment, rvr is required. If you are operating to 150m rvr then you MAY self assess the first segment if rvr not available:

EU Ops 1

4. Exceptions to subparagraph (a)(3)(i) above:
(i) Subject to the approval of the Authority, and provided the requirements in paragraphs (A) to (E) below have
been satisfied, an operator may reduce the take-off minima to 125 m RVR (Category A, B and C aeroplanes)
or 150 m RVR (Category D aeroplanes) when:
(A) low visibility procedures are in force;
(B) high intensity runway centreline lights spaced 15 m or less and high intensity edge lights spaced 60 m
or less are in operation;
(C) flight crew members have satisfactorily completed training in a Flight Simulator;
(D) a 90 m visual segment is available from the cockpit at the start of the take-off run; and
(E) the required RVR value has been achieved for all of the relevant RVR reporting points

(my underlining)
