This Standard is part of the AS 7510 suite of StandardsAs a whole suite, AS7510 Rolling Stock Braking Systems aims to ensure that railway rolling stock is able to control its speed and stop safely. It specifies that:- a) any brake equipment failure should fail safe; - b) the thermal capacity of wheels and brake friction materials is not exceeded, thereby minimising the risk of derailments due to wheel failure or excessive speed.- c) The standard describes acceptable good practice such as relayed single-pipe automatic braking systems for freight and locomotive hauled passenger trains. It also describes recommended better practices such as:- a) two-pipe relayed automatic braking systems for bulk coal and mineral trains;- b) electro-pneumatic braking systems for self-propelled passenger rolling stock; and- c) fail-safe brake systems for infrastructure maintenance rolling stock.This standard describes minimum standards for brake performance, features and compatibility for the braking systems of Locomotives.Please note that this product is available in Excel format only. The Excel format allows users to more easily edit and comply with the standard, especially when working in the field. The decision to use Excel was based on much discussion and valuable feedback from customers of RISSB Australian Standards.
