Corridor Infrastructure – Track Classification

Product Designation:   AS 7630:2024

Abstract:   The objective of this Standard is to: • provide a nationally consistent performance-based method for track classification that is applicable to all new, upgraded, and existing heavy railways in Australia; • enable RIMs to allocate a track classification to all heavy railway track sections for which they are responsible; • provide guidance for owners and operators of rolling stock to more readily determine if their rolling stock can physically access a track corridor(s), for which any RIM is responsible, by adopting the concept of route availability in addition to the track classification; • encourage rail transport operators (RTO)s to consider, when acquiring new assets, or replacing or upgrading existing assets, how those assets could be configured to lead to increased interoperability within their own railway network, and with other railway networks; an • through improved interoperability, increase the railway industry’s competitiveness and range of commercial opportunities.

Ballastless Track Systems

Product Designation:   AS 7661:2024

Abstract:   The objective of this Standard is to provide technical requirements to enable a rail infrastructure manager (RIM) to design, supply, install and maintain ballastless track systems. The Standard outlines minimum requirements for ballastless track systems. RIMs may accept alternative independently certified products, materials, construction procedures or testing regimes which meet or exceed these requirements. Responsibility for ensuring the minimum requirements are met remains with the parties undertaking the works. This Standard is intended to be used by rail authority’s, RIM, projects, and specifiers of ballastless track systems and for reference and development by suppliers and construction contractors.
