AS 7523:2025

The objective of this Standard is to describe the requirements for the portable emergency equipment that are to be carried by locomotives, self-propelled passenger rolling stock and infrastructure rolling stock. The main purpose of the requirements is to: (a) define the types of portable emergency equipment to be carried by locomotives, passenger rolling stock and infrastructure rolling stock. (b) define the requirements for emergency equipment (where applicable); (c) define quantities of emergency equipment; (d) define the documentation that is to be carried relating to emergency equipment; and (e) define maintenance requirements for the emergency equipment. This Standard combines three previous Standards (AS 7523.1, AS 7523.3, and AS 7523.4) into one document. This integration eliminates overlaps and makes the Standard more user-accessible and simpler to apply.
