This Standard covers the use of the electrical equipment as part of a signalling system to achieve vital and non-vital functions. The signal power supply is a critical aspect for safe operation of signalling systems.
This Standards scope includes the functional requirements of electrical equipment performing signals safety applications. The scope of this Standard covers the range of environmental conditions signals are likely to be exposed to when operating in Australian and New Zealand rail networks.
The scope also details standard requirements for electrical equipment that is used in signalling systems to aid standardization of supply and interoperability of equipment across railway networks.

AS 7630 Track Classification
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; and
- through improved interoperability, increase the railway industry’s competitiveness and range of commercial opportunities.
This Standard is a revision of the previously published 2017 version. It includes updates to provide additional guidance on functional and performance requirements for track classification. It introduces the consideration of route availability for rolling stock access, and the corresponding infrastructure considerations for track structure, earthworks, civil structures, and wayside assets contained within the heavy railway corridor.

AS 7510.2 Braking Systems Part 2: Hauled Rolling Stock
The objective of this Standard is to provide safety benefits in that proper braking performance contributes to the prevention of collisions or derailments of railway rolling stock by providing controls for known hazards.
This standard describes minimum standards for brake performance, features and compatibility for the braking systems of hauled Freight and Passenger Rolling Stock.
This Standard is intended to compliment the rolling stock compliance certification process outlined in AS 7501, including all vehicle types such as new, modified and heritage rolling stock.
