This standard specifies the framework for implementing EDT across all Network Rail functions where computer aided tools and information are employed in the management, design and construction of railway infrastructure.

For members of the Network Rail supply chain this standard provides a clear statement of intent as to how Network Rail intends to coordinate and collaborate engineering design content. This will help members of the supply chain to align their own practices, reduce costs and improve quality.

Purpose

Network Rail's policy is to use EDT to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the engineering design and construction of the railway infrastructure. This requires suitable processes and tools to be available and adequately supported and engineering design information to be managed.

This standard specifies the principles and cross-organisational responsibilities, involved in the supply and management of EDT.
