scope:

This Level 2 standard applies to all projects to alter Network Rail's infrastructure, or with the potential to affect the fitness for purpose of the Network Rail Infrastructure. It is mandatory for all work with signalling content which requires testing to NR/L2/SIG/30014.

Purpose

This document is part of the suite of documents contained within the Signalling Works Testing Handbook, NR/L2/SIG/30014, which together detail the requirements for signalling works testing activities.

This Level 2 document sets the requirements for IRSE licensing of all individuals engaged in signalling works testing activities to demonstrate generic competence to IRSE licensing standards.

Such individuals shall also demonstrate competence to test the specific systems and equipment on Network Rail's infrastructure, with knowledge and proficiency in the specific safety and technical procedures applicable to Network Rail, by means of an assessment for a Certificate of Competency, in accordance with NR/L2/SIG/30014/B410.

This document augments NR/L2/SIG/10160. However should there be any conflict between this document and NR/L2/SIG/10160, the requirements of this document take precedence with respect to signalling works testing.
