This module applies only in areas undertaking the trial of the Single Approach to Isolations on 25 kV a.c. infrastructure as set out in the Scope of the main standard. Within the trialareas, this standard supersedes all the requirements of NR/L3/ELP/29987. For all areas not involved in thattrial, this standard does not apply and the provisions of the most recent issue ofNR/L3/ELP/29987 apply instead.

Within the trial area, this module identifies the electrical safety documentation requirements when work is to be carried out on Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) of the Operational Railway with 25 kV a.c. electrification.

This module states the process for the issue and cancellation of electrical safety documentation when work is to be undertaken on or near OLE, to prevent danger arising from Live OLE, and Live pantographs and other roof mounted Electrical Equipment on trains.

This module applies to Network Rail personnel and to Network Rail’s contractors working within the trial areas, when working on the operational railway with overhead electrification or when working off the operational railway but where the work presents the risk of encroaching within 2.75 m of exposed Live parts.

To provide a consistent approach for working and managing the interfaces between systems and parties, other Railway Group members may, as best practice, apply this module to infrastructure they control within or adjacent to the trial area.

Further requirements are contained in the Rule Book module AC (GE/RT8000/AC) and Handbook 16 (GE/RT8000/HB16), and in Network Rail’s Lifesaving Rules.
