1 Guide to this Catalogue Welcome to the Catalogue of the Network Rail Standards. This catalogue is updated on a quarterly basis

1.1 Quick Find Using the Catalogue Index All Network Rail current standards are listed in this catalogue. Click on the above index to find the document(s) you are looking for. If you can find what you are looking for, or are after a Historical Standard, please contact our service providers.

1.2 Network Rail Standards Network Rail standards is the generic term for the documents that specify requirements and provide guidance directed towards securing the safe and efficient operation of the rail infrastructure. They support the overall company assurance system by specifying how Network Rail controls its principal health and safety risks, and how the organisation complies with Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs), domestic legislation, Railway Group Standards and Network Rail Business Critical Rules.

1.3 Network Rail Standards Framework The standards framework, detailed in NR/L2/EBM/STP001, is designed to enable Network Rail Standard Owners to:

develop requirements that are designed to control and/or help mitigate against identified safety and business risks; align those requirements (risk controls) to the relevant asset management lifecycle stages; and describe those requirements within a hierarchy of Network Rail standards.

NOTE 1: A standard might not be needed if there are no identified risks to be controlled. NOTE 2: The Bow-Tie risk methodology may be used to identify risks and their controls.

1.4 Types of Network Rail Standards A Network Rail standard shall be classified as either:

a) mandatory: a) Level 1; a) Level 2; a) Level 3; a) BCR control documents; or:

b) (non-mandatory) Guidance Note

NOTES

Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 standards are monitored for compliance on the Network Rail non-compliance database. Level 1 Network Rail standards shall specify the organisations objectives, goals, strategies and policy requirements. Level 1 standards provide the framework for business processes, assurance systems and controls specified at Level 2. Examples of Level 1 standards include Asset Management Policies and the Network Rail Drugs and Alcohol Policy. Level 2 Network Rail standards shall specify what is to be achieved. Level 2 standards outline business processes, assurance systems and controls. They provide the minimum requirements against which Level 3 processes can deliver. Examples of Level 2 standards are specifications, process requirements and product specifications. Level 3 Network Rail standards shall specify the how to tasks to be followed in order to deliver requirements specified in Level 2 standards. Examples of Level 3 standards are work instructions and process instructions. BCR control documents shall describe what needs to be achieved to meet identified controls for mitigating risks, including any tolerances and

limits if applicable. Guidance Notes shall provide guidance based on best practice. Guidance Notes are non-mandatory and are not monitored for compliance.

1.5 Other documents related to Network Rail Standards Letters of Instruction (NR/L2/EBM/STP001 previous issue 4, clause 4) - document, authorised by a Standard Owner, that is used to issue

mandatory instructions directly linked to an existing Network Rail standard where there is an emergency need not otherwise covered; Special Inspection Notices (SINs) (NR/L2/SIG/10072) - A rapid response document, produced in accordance with this specification to rapid

action throughout the railway industry to identify and obviate defects which may present a hazard.






1.6 Steering Group Codes Please refer to the table for the current Steering Groups Codes.

Network Rail Standards Steering Groups as at October 31, 2014 Standards Steering Group Reference Asset Information AIF Buildings & Civils Engineering CIV Competence & Training CTM Electrical Power ELP Ergonomics ERG Fire Safety Policy FIR Information Management INF Integrated Risk RSK Infrastructure Projects INI National Supply Chain NDS/CPR Network Operations OCS/OPS/MTC Property PRO Rail Mounted Vehicle & Plant RMVP Safety & Sustainable Development ENV/INV/OHS/HSS Signals SIG Asset Management & Railway Systems EBM/RSE Telecoms TEL Track TRK

1.7 Technical Specifications for Interoperability TSIs are European-wide standards and set out essential requirements in eight subsystems. TSIs are mandated in the UK through The Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2006, and apply to certain projects and routes. Where applicable, TSIs take precedence over all other national standards, including Railway Group Standards and Network Rail standards.

1.8 Railway Group Standards Railway Group Standards are produced and implemented as specified in the Railway Group Standards Code published by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB). Railway Group Standards take precedence over Network Rail standards. Deviations against Railway Group Standards are monitored by Network Rail via the non-compliance database.

1.9 Ordering Network Rail Standards You can order network Rail Standards either as part of an online subscription collection or as individual hardcopies. Most of the Network Rail Standards are priced according to the number of pages in them and are divided into 6 main price bands; these price bands are:

Price Band A B C D E F

Price 9 12 23 35 46 69

There are multiple subscription packages available either in a modular format or custom collection tailored to your requirements. For examples please contact: Enquiries : [email protected] SAI Global, Partis House, Davy Avenue, Knowlhill, Milton Keynes MK5 8HJ www.saiglobal.com

NR/GN/CIV/00012 Road Vehicle Incursions: Risk Assessment of Bridge and Neighbouring Sites

1 NR/L3/CIV/00012 ISSUE 1

05/09/2015 Withdrawn following the publication of NR/L3/CIV/00012 which has been updated in response to a RAIB investigation following an incident at North Rode. NR/GN/CIV/00012 has been converted to a level 3 standard and extends the scope to include non-public sites.

NR/GN/ELP/00003 A.C. Electrified Lines Management of Incidents Involving Damage to Overhead Line Equipment


01/06/2016 Withdrawn following the publication of NR/L2/ELP/27032 which is based on n the previous guidance note and Route best practice when responding to OLE incidents. It has been produced in response to the learning points from the Margaretting dewirement incident.

NR/GN/ELP/27309 DC Electric Track Equipment Drawing Index


06/06/2016 Withdrawn following the publication of NR/GN/ELP/27309 which has contains modules for carrying out tasks on the conductor rail and associated equipment and negative bonding. Updates the requirements for installing, inspecting and maintaining conductor rail, negative bonding and associated equipment.

NR/L2/INI/CP0069 Route Requirements Management and Production of Project Requirements Specification

3 WITHDRAWN 02/03/2015 Withdrawn following changes to the Network Rail organisation and Requirements Management process and products. The introduction of new requirements management process and products (Client Requirements Document (CRD), Route Requirements Document (RRD) and Detailed Route Requirements Document (DRRD)).

NR/L3/MTC/MG0233 Infrastructure Maintenance IRSE Assessing Agency Network Rail

1 WITHDRAWN 06/06/2015 Withdrawal will not affect the business nor will the operation of the Assessing Agency be effected. It allow the opportunity to update the current documentation for IRSE licensing, providing a more streamlined approach for the business, and enabling the compliance of NR/L2/SIG/10160 sooner and the Route TNCs to be closed.

NR/L2/OCS/096 Determining High Risk Sites for Low Rail Adhesion

3 NR/L2/OCS/095 ISSUE 4

01/08/2015 Withdrawn as integrates NR/L2/OCS/096. Both wrong side track circuit failures and low rail adhesion sites have similar identification criteria.

NR/L3/OCS/096 Low rail adhesion sites - risk assessment process

2 NR/L2/OCS/095 ISSUE 4

01/08/2015 Withdrawn as supersedes NR/L3/OCS/096 with both wrong side track circuit failures and low rail adhesion sites adopting an adhesion risk ranking process. The standard now also remits the need for a removal plan; previously high / low risk sites had been determined without a requirement for any actions to be taken.

2.2 Withdrawn and Superseded Documents




2.3 Letters of Instruction

2.3 Letters of Instruction A Letter of Instruction (LOI) is document, authorised by a Standard Owner, that is used to issue mandatory instructions directly linked to an existing Network Rail standard where there is an emergency need not otherwise covered.. 2.3 Letters of Instruction Historic letter of instructions (where text has been crossed out) will be removed in the next Publication. Some LOIs may stay current after the stated Expiry Date.
