本标准的目的是为澳大利亚铁路行业提供一套要求，用于定义与点和交叉系统的接口，并控制与点和交叉系统相关的风险。本标准旨在定义与点和交叉系统的最低接口要求。本标准并不打算取代基于当地经验和良好工程实践的更高性能标准，这些标准可能包含在各州或铁路基础设施管理者的点和交叉系统标准、规范、指南和程序中。

The objective of this standard is to provide the Australian rail industry with a set of requirements to be used to define the interfaces with Points and Crossing Systems and control the risks associated with Point and Crossing Systems. This standard is intended to define the minimum interface requirements with Points and Crossing Systems. This standard is not intended to supplant higher performance standards based on local experience and good engineering practice, which may be contained in the Point and Crossing System standards, codes, guidelines and procedures of individual States or Rail Infrastructure Managers.
