Updated 2nd July 2004

On 3rd February 2003 Railtrack officially changed its name to Network Rail. Railtrack Company Standards will now be
officially known as Network Rail Company Standards. Newly published standards from April 2003 will reflect this name change.
All existing standards are still valid and will be changed as and when the standards are reviewed

1. About this catalogue

Welcome to the Network Rail Catalogue of Company Standards, it is divided into 4 sections:
Section 1: This introduction, including a How to use this catalogue gives the user information on the Company
Standards numbering system and the process for ordering documents.
As a result of customer concerns over numbering change, and the suspension of the Project Release project, we will
revert to the numbering system as at June 2000. Standards given the new numbers from June to October 2000 will not be
renumbered. If you have any queries please contact the Business Standards Team on 020 7830 5687 (085 75687).

Section 2 is the Category Index of Network Rail Company Standards which lists all the
o

Specifications,
Product Specifications,
Procedures,
Codes of Practice,
Work Instructions,
Guidance Notes,
Special Inspection Notices

by Directorate, Discipline and then by number, title, issue and authorisation.

There is also a list of changes from the previous issue, and all standards that have been deleted in the last 14 months.
The Category Index of Network Rail Company Standards is divided into the following Directorates:
o

Contracts & Procurement

Engineering
Information Management
Maintenance
Major Projects and Investments
Railway Estates
Safety & Compliance

Product Specifications are grouped separately, in numeric order, for ease of reference. Each Directorate is divided into
recognisable sections (e.g. Civil Engineering; Operational Safety Policy, etc.) with a summary of each document to assist
the user in identifying standards applicable to their business. In addition, you will find information on the mandatory
requirements for each Company Standard as well as information relating to compliance, where applicable.
Section 3: A Reference Guide to Group Standards is a quick reference for users, which shows an up-to-date
listing of Railway Group Standards at present in force. For further information contact the Rail Safety & Standards
Board Enquiry Desk on 020 7557 8774 (internal 085 78774).
Section 4: Railway Group Standards and Catalogue Index. This section contains a listing of the Railway Group
Standards retained by Network Rail, and finally an Index to this catalogue.

K Procurement
LS Line Safety
RT Denotes a Network Rail Standard.
This is the general format used for the majority of entries in the catalogue.
Please note however, that there are a few exceptions, not shown here.

Six types of document are published as Network Rail Company Standards. The purpose of each is as follows:
TERM

DEFINITION

Network Rail Company Specifications

These set mandatory requirements upon Network Rail s employees, and also, when
designated in an agreed contract or lease, upon contractors or tenants. They may
contain procedural requirements. They require a formal remit, a Business case and
Stakeholder Review.

Network Rail Company Product Specifications

These have a special status in that applicants for product acceptance shall:

demonstrate compliance with the Product Specification; or

demonstrate that their product has equivalent performance to that

required by the Product Specification and is thus acceptable.

They do not require a Business Case, but require a formal remit & Stakeholder
Review.
Network Rail Company Procedures

th

st

Issue 46: 7 August 1 October 2004

These set mandatory requirements upon Network Rail employees only. They are
not always procedural in nature. These procedures may be incorporated in
contracts under the authority of a Network Rail Designated Employer s
Representative. They require a Formal Remit, a Business Case and Stakeholder
Review.

Catalogue of Company Standards

1. About this Catalogue

Network Rail Company Codes of Practice

These Non-Mandatory Documents communicate good practice for use by Network

Rail s employees and contractors. An alternative practice that achieves the same
goals may be adopted provided that adequate records are kept, although prior
acceptance by Network Rail may be required. Further advice is available from the
Standard Owner. They require a formal remit & Stakeholder Reviewed only.

Network Rail Company Work Instructions

These are Network Rail s equivalent of Specified Operations Publications. They are
mandatory and specify actions to be undertaken by employees of Network Rail and
others to ensure safety while working on Network Rail Controlled Infrastructure.
They differ from Company Specifications in that they are task-based. These require
a formal remit, stakeholder review and a business case.

Network Rail Company Guidance Notes

These are intended to provide information for Network Rail and others on the
basis of past experience and knowledge. They are advisory documents and do not
necessarily represent best practice. They do not require a Business Case or
Stakeholder Review.

Rapid Response

The Rapid Response Procedure shall enable Network Rail to authorise Standards
Change which are required more urgently than the usual procedures would permit.
The Rapid Response Procedure may only be used where both the following criteria
are met:

either there is:

o

an immediate threat to safety, where safety would be prejudiced

through delay arising from the usual procedures; or

a time critical non-safety issue which cannot readily be dealt

with via the usual procedures or a non-compliance; and

the solution which constitutes the Standards Change is readily apparent.

Standards Change issued under the Rapid Response Procedure shall have an
applicability of one calendar year from Implementation Date.
Within 2 months of the Implementation Date, the Sponsor shall regularise the
Standards Change issued under the Rapid Response Procedure through the usual
procedures.

1.1.3. Quick Find Using the Index

If you have a document you want to find the status of, the quickest way to find your document is to look in the Index at the
end of the catalogue. All current standards are listed, along with the page number where you will find more information on that
document.

1.1.4. Referenced Documents

Some Network Rail Company Standards grant mandatory or advisory status to other documents produced by Network Rail or
other organisations.
Referenced Documents include a wide range of documents inherited from the former British Rail Board (BRB) or developed by
Network Rail, e.g. Signalling Special Inspection Notices (SINs), Railway Executive Permanent Way (REPW) drawings, and the
Overhead Line Equipment Master Index (OLEMI).
Referenced Documents derive their authority from Network Rail Company Standards and therefore shall only be applied in the
circumstances and to the extent shown in any relevant Network Rail Company Standard.

1.1.5. Coloured Pages

Some documents contain coloured pages, and these are marked where relevant. These colour pages may be purchased
separately from the Rapidoc Document Centre. Please see the section on ordering documents for contact details.

1. About this Catalogue

1.1.6. Compliance and Implementation
Each Mandatory Network Rail Company Standard remains in force and has to be complied with until replaced or withdrawn.
The issue of a replacement standard does not necessarily cancel a previous issue until the Implementation period has been
completed and the Compliance date reached. This is normally at least two months from the issue date of a Network Rail
Company Standard. This applies to re-issues of existing standards as well as replacements and deletions.
To assist users, the catalogue entry for a superseded standard will henceforth show the standard that replaces it, and vice versa.
Users will thus be able to see not only the standard to which they presently work, but also which standard they will need to
follow in future. An example is shown below:

The current standard is shown in (grey), indicating that the new edition, shown in black, will supersede it.
For reasons of clarity, this approach has been confined to the catalogue (paper and electronic versions), and does not appear in
the menu pages of the CD-ROM.

1.1.7. Technical Standards for Inter-operability.

Technical Standards for Inter-operability (TSIs) are derived from the following two pieces of European Union legislation:
Directive 2001/16/EC on the Interoperability of the Trans-European Conventional Rail System; and
Directive 96/48/EC on the Interoperability of the Trans-European High Speed Rail System.
There is currently a major piece of work in hand by Rail Safety and Standards Board to identify any issues or conflicts between
TSIs for High speed and RGSs (Railway Group Standards). The objective is to resolve or remove any conflicts where possible by
amending the RGS. It is anticipated that this work will generate a significant amount of work on RGSs.
Where this work identifies such issues, it is the Rail Safety and Standards Board intention to publish the identified conflicts in a
Railway Group Guidance Note (GN/GE8550) in order to provide guidance to the industry pending the resolution of the
conflict and amendment of the RGSs.
RGSs are classified as being subordinate.

1.1.8. Notified National Standards

All notified standards in this catalogue are marked as

in the left hand column.

1.1.9. Direct Maintenance Supplementary Instructions

Following Network Rail s decision to bring certain track maintenance jobs in-house a number of standards are being
incorporated into a new catalogue (RT/LS/CAT007), marked thus: , containing supplementary information. It is essential
that you first read and understand the supplement pertaining to the standard before proceeding to the standard. You must then
apply the requirements of the supplement to the standard.
With regard to Direct Maintenance Transition, a new catalogue, RT/LS/CAT007 'Direct Maintenance Supplementary Instruction
Catalogue' has been introduced. This catalogue contains a suite of Direct Maintenance Instructions, which necessarily modify
existing Company Standards where they do not currently cover maintenance undertaken directly by Network Rail employees.
The changes required are minor and there is no material change to the technical requirements of the Company Standard. A
Direct Maintenance Supplementary Instruction holds the same status as the Company Standard it modifies.
The Supplementary Instructions will be superseded after the modifications have been made to the relevant standards.
