Specifies technical requirements for operational systems to be considered for engineering and operating systems safety Standards forming part of a railway safety management system prepared in accordance with AS4292.1.

This Standard specifies requirements and provides guidelines for preparing or adopting engineering and operating systems safety standards and procedures to comply with the relevant requirements of AS 4292.1, in respect of design, installation, operation and maintenance of operational systems.The Standard provides broad, high level principles intended to foster uniformity in railway operational systems ranging from the sophisticated controls required for high volume, high speed heavy rail systems to low volume heavy rail systems and to the special needs of light rail. The breadth of these principles invites them to be interpreted to cover all of the control environments currently existing or likely to develop in the foreseeable future in Australia whilst at the same time ensuring that the essential elements of safe and uniform practice are incorporated within those environments.

Originated as AS 4292.5-1997.
