introduction Rail infrastructure is constantly being maintained to ensure its continuing suitability for use.
New components, equipment and systems are constantly being developed by industry.
Introduction of these components, equipment and systems requires careful management.
Rail infrastructure owners both nationwide and internationally are engaged in this process. New Equipment and Systems Standards Department: New Equipment & System Approvals<br>

introduction Signalling and Systems:
Any safety critical systems
Any items that affect performance of the signalling systems
Any item that will cause a failure or safety, performance (availability) issue in the signalling system
Any item in the system chain between the network controller and the train driver.
Track & Civil (incl. Structures):
Rail specific items not covered by Australian Standards or ARTC Specifications
Non-railway specific items that are safety critical for risks associated with the operation of trains or affect the performance of the track
Any item that affects or interacts with signalling. Scope Standards Department: New Equipment & System Approvals<br>

PROCEDURE TO APPLY FOR A NEW EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEM APPROVAL Standards Department: New Equipment & System Approvals<br>
12
Procedure Corridor Managers, Project Managers or Area Managers identify the need for the new component, equipment or system. Endorsement from the relevant business unit is required. This could be driven by:
Asset performance analysis, e.g. Signal Fault Reduction Strategy initiative etc.
Industry development of components, e.g. new rail fastening, LED signal head etc.
Infrastructure enhancement, e.g. new crossing loop, new signalling system, timber to concrete sleeper upgrade etc.
Other rail system introduces new equipment or system.
Consideration should also include the following:
New spares that may need to be catalogued and warehoused.
Management of existing inventory. Identifying the need for, and introducing new equipment and systems Standards Department: New Equipment & System Approvals<br>

PRocedure The target date is only set when the Product Information Pack (PIP) is submitted and is complete.
When a PIP is received by Standards, it is immediately checked that it is complete and then the target date is set. For track & civil, the review/approvals process will take approximately 4 weeks.
The Originator may request priority for a new equipment & system approval to be completed in a shorter period. This will be accommodated where possible, subject to availability of resources. An earlier date for one item may lead to some existing target dates being extended.
