Abstract

This document applies to: a) new and modified passenger rolling stock and crew cars; and  b) the design, construction and maintenance of passenger rolling stock and crew cars. The requirements mandated in this document do not retrospectively apply to any existing rolling stock other than rolling stock which is being modified in areas covered by this document so far as reasonably practicable. The objective of this document is to mitigate, as far as is reasonably practicable, safety risks to the passenger rolling stock and crew car occupants due to derailments, collisions and roll-overs throughout the design life of the rolling stock asset. This document adopts European Norm (EN) structural integrity and crashworthiness standards as the foundation for designing and constructing passenger rolling stock and crew cars. It is further supplemented with additional international, national, and local standards and requirements to facilitate customization for the intended Australian rail networks. This approach also considers local safety incidence experience and collision scenarios not explicitly covered in the EN standards. This document does not include the operation of rolling stock or cover rolling stock used on light rail, cane railways and monorail networks. Still, items from this document can be applied to such systems as deemed appropriate by the relevant RTO. This document excludes passenger rolling stock utilizing alternate fuels such as hydrogen, liquified natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG).
