1 Guide to this Catalogue


Welcome to the Catalogue of the Network Rail Standards. This catalogue is updated on a quarterly basis

1.1 Quick Find – Using the Catalogue Index


All Network Rail current standards are listed in this catalogue. Click on the above index to find the document(s) you are looking for. If you can find
what you are looking for, or are after a Historical Standard, please contact our service providers.

1.2 Network Rail Standards


“Network Rail standards” is the generic term for the documents that specify requirements and provide guidance directed towards securing the safe
and efficient operation of the rail infrastructure. They support the overall company assurance system by specifying how Network Rail controls its
principal health and safety risks, and how the organisation complies with Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs), domestic legislation,
Railway Group Standards and Network Rail Business Critical Rules.”

1.3 Network Rail Standards Framework


The standards framework, detailed in NR/L2/EBM/STP001, is designed to enable Network Rail Standard Owners to:

• develop requirements that are designed to control and/or help mitigate against identified safety and business risks;
• align those requirements (risk controls) to the relevant asset management lifecycle stages; and
• describe those requirements within a hierarchy of Network Rail standards.

NOTE 1: A standard might not be needed if there are no identified risks to be controlled.
NOTE 2: The Bow-Tie risk methodology may be used to identify risks and their controls.

1.4 Types of Network Rail Standards


A Network Rail standard shall be classified as either:
a) mandatory:
a) Level 1;
a) Level 2;
a) Level 3;
a) BCR control documents; or:
b) (non-mandatory) Guidance Note

NOTES
• Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 standards are monitored for compliance on the Network Rail non-compliance database.
• Level 1 Network Rail standards shall specify the organisation’s objectives, goals, strategies and policy requirements.
• Level 1 standards provide the framework for business processes, assurance systems and controls specified at Level 2.
• Examples of Level 1 standards include Asset Management Policies and the Network Rail Drugs and Alcohol Policy.
• Level 2 Network Rail standards shall specify “what” is to be achieved.
• Level 2 standards outline business processes, assurance systems and controls.
• They provide the minimum requirements against which Level 3 processes can deliver.
• Examples of Level 2 standards are specifications, process requirements and product specifications.
• Level 3 Network Rail standards shall specify the “how to” tasks to be followed in order to deliver requirements specified in Level 2 standards.
• Examples of Level 3 standards are work instructions and process instructions.
• BCR control documents shall describe what needs to be achieved to meet identified controls for mitigating risks, including any tolerances and
limits if applicable.
• Guidance Notes shall provide guidance based on best practice.
• Guidance Notes are non-mandatory and are not monitored for compliance.

1.5 Other documents related to Network Rail Standards


• Letters of Instruction – (NR/L2/EBM/STP001 previous issue 4, clause 4) - document, authorised by a Standard Owner, that is used to issue
mandatory instructions directly linked to an existing Network Rail standard where there is an emergency need not otherwise covered;
• Special Inspection Notices (SINs) (NR/L2/SIG/10072) - A rapid response document, produced in accordance with this specification to rapid
action throughout the railway industry to identify and obviate defects which may present a hazard.

1.7 Technical Specifications for Interoperability


TSIs are European-wide standards and set out essential requirements in eight subsystems.

TSIs are mandated in the UK through The Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2006, and apply to certain projects and routes. Where applicable,
TSIs take precedence over all other national standards, including Railway Group Standards and Network Rail standards.

1.8 Railway Group Standards


Railway Group Standards are produced and implemented as specified in the Railway Group Standards Code published by the Rail Safety and
Standards Board (RSSB). Railway Group Standards take precedence over Network Rail standards.
Deviations against Railway Group Standards are monitored by Network Rail via the non-compliance database.

1.9 Ordering Network Rail Standards


You can order network Rail Standards either as part of an online subscription collection or as individual hardcopies.

Most of the Network Rail Standards are priced according to the number of pages in them and are divided into 6 main price bands; these price bands
are:

Price Band A B C D E F

Price £9 £12 £23 £35 £46 £69

There are multiple subscription packages available – either in a modular format or custom collection tailored to your requirements. For examples

Welded and Fabricated Crossings in the Track Issue 5; Oct 14 31/10/14 NR/L2/TRK/1054 Iss 4; Jun 12
The majority of defects and wear detected in crossings are repairable if detected at an early enough stage. The identification and timely rectification
of crossing wear, or associated track condition issues, will reduce the risk of crossing failure or premature replacement.
The early detection of a crack in all steel grades is paramount.
The benefits of this standard are the early identification and rectification of defects which, when discovered in a timely manner, will prevent costly
replacement of crossings. Risks of crossing failure will also be reduced as a result.
This Network Rail standard specifies the requirements for the inspection and identification of defects and wear in crossings. The specification now
includes guidance for maintenance arc weld repair with appropriate minimum actions and also gives details of minimum actions to be taken when
significant defects are discovered.
This standard is intended to be read in conjunction with other standards concerning the inspection and rectification of defects in crossings.

NR/L3/TRK/3242 Marking of track for stoneblowing machines Issue 1; Dec 11 Compliance Replaces
01/04/12 New at Issue 82
This standard is part of a pair of related standards, the other being NR/L3/TRK/3241, Marking of track for tamping machines, that specify correct
and accurate track marking. Consistent track marking will:
a) avoid confusion between the operators and Network Rail Technical Staff about the work required;
b) reduce or remove damage to infrastructure, preventing delays caused due to overrun as the damage is repaired. Sometimes such damage
necessitates planning of further shifts which further reduce access for other works;
c) provide intangible benefits of:
1) increased engagement of the TQS on site;
2) improved relationships and communication between NR and operators (external contractors) on site;
3) greater “buy-in” to the pre-site preparation and design process.
