NR RT/E/C/11701 ISSUE 3 PDF

This Code of Practice provides guidance on:

a) the design of signalling works applicable to the infrastructure;

b) the design of signalling systems, whether lineside or train-borne;

c) the design of software and data used in programmable signalling systems; and

d) the tools, including software, used in design.

It applies from scheme conception to acceptance into service or, where applicable, to decommissioning and disposal.

The design parameters and type approval processes concerning individual physical components used in the systems are dealt with in GI/RT7002 and RT/E/S/10071.

The technical content of design detail is the subject of GK/RT0206 and RT/E/C/11600.

Purpose

This Code of Practice sets out guidance, in support of RT/E/S/11201, for the production of signalling design detail to ensure:

a) safe development and design of new and altered signalling systems impacting on Network Rail controlled infrastructure;

b) safe interfaces between all parties and systems;

c) design details are prepared and presented clearly, accurately, consistently and unambiguously; and

d) client's specified requirements are met and the design is fit for purpose.
