RISSB Standards for industry wide decarbonisation efforts
Australian rolling stock operators are developing, designing, acquiring, testing and integrating low emissions rolling stock into their fleets as part of industry wide decarbonisation initiatives.
RISSB is working with the industry scope, a standard for “Wayside Electrical Charging Interface for Low Emissions Rolling Stock”. The project proposal is currently being reviewed by the Rolling Stock Standing Committee.
The standard will provide a consistent approach to the electrical
charging interfaces between wayside/infrastructure and rolling stock, and define the various methodologies for electrical charging of rolling stock on-board energy systems.
AS 7661 Ballastless Track Systems
RISSB is developing a new Standard in conjunction with the rail industry for ballastless track systems (also known as slab track).
The scope of the Standard includes defining a minimum set of technical requirements for ballastless track systems, track structure and ballastless track specific fastenings, and to provide guiding principles for the design, supply, construction and maintenance of ballastless
track systems.
An initial draft has been created and sent out to the Development Group for comment. The Development Group members for this product include subject matter experts from operators, designers, constructors and suppliers.
RISSB will work with the Development Group members over a series of meetings to finalise a draft for Public Consultation. RISSB thanks all Development Group members for their time.
