This Standard describes the requirements for the manufacture and testing of medium and high-friction composite brake blocks to be installed on locomotives and rolling stock (locomotive hauled rolling stock, self-propelled passenger rolling stock, and infrastructure maintenance rolling stock).
The purpose of this Standard is to ensure that brake blocks fitted to locomotives and rolling stock provide reliable and consistent friction to the wheels to slow or stop vehicles within required distances without causing damage between the brake block and wheel and between the wheel and the rail.
This document applies to new, modified, and existing locomotive, hauled freight and passenger rolling stock, self-propelled passenger rolling stock and infrastructure maintenance rolling stock.
The document applies to the design, construction, and maintenance of friction material.
Operation of rolling stock in regard to network safe working rules and route standards is not covered.
This Standard applies to all rolling stock excluding light rail, cane railway, and monorail networks.
