本标准涵盖了机车车辆和信号检测系统之间接口的以下方面:-与新的和改进的机车、货运、，客运和基础设施维护机车车辆——旨在确保机车车辆在澳大拉西亚铁路网络上的可检测性的基本机车车辆性能要求（本标准不取代在其设计运行的网络上现有的实际轨道电路上对机车车辆进行的实际测试）。

This Standard covers the following aspects of the interface between rolling stock and signalling detection systems: - compatibility with signalling detection systems for new and modified Locomotive, Freight, Passenger and Infrastructure Maintenance rolling stock- basic rolling stock performance requirements aimed at ensuring detectability of rolling stock on Australasian rail networks (the standard does not replace practical testing of rolling stock on actual track circuits extant on the networks upon which it is designed to run).
