本标准的目的是为澳大利亚铁路行业提供一套信号设计管理流程的强制性和推荐要求。其主要目的是在整个澳大利亚铁路行业推广一致的信号设计流程。 本标准规定了用于铁路网络的信号设计的生产过程。本文件描述了完整的信号系统设计过程，从概念到详细设计、施工、安装、测试和调试，以及最终验收- 构建文档。它描述的过程可以是更广泛工程项目的一部分，也可以作为独立的信号工程活动实施。

The objective of this standard is to provide the Australian rail industry with a set of mandatory and recommended requirements for the signalling design management process. The main purpose is to promote a consistent approach to the signalling design process across the Australian rail industry. This Standard specifies the process for the production of signalling designs for use on the rail networks. This document describes the process for complete signalling system design from concept through detailed design, construction, installation, test and commissioning and final as-built documentation. It describes a process which can be part of a wider engineering project, or which can be implemented as a stand-alone signalling engineering activity.
