Preface

The Asset Standards Authority (ASA) is an independent unit within Transport for NSW (TfNSW)

and is the network design and standards authority for defined NSW transport assets.

The ASA is responsible for developing engineering governance frameworks to support industry

delivery in the assurance of design, safety, integrity, construction, and commissioning of

transport assets for the whole asset life cycle. In order to achieve this, the ASA effectively

discharges obligations as the authority for various technical, process, and planning matters

across the asset life cycle.

The ASA collaborates with industry using stakeholder engagement activities to assist in

achieving its mission. These activities help align the ASA to broader government expectations of

making it clearer, simpler, and more attractive to do business within the NSW transport industry,

allowing the supply chain to deliver safe, efficient, and competent transport services.

The ASA develops, maintains, controls, and publishes a suite of standards and other

documentation for transport assets of TfNSW. Further, the ASA ensures that these standards

are performance based to create opportunities for innovation and improve access to a broader

competitive supply chain.

This standard aims to provide general principles and performance requirements for interior and

exterior lighting for TfNSW passenger rolling stock to satisfy the passenger comfort and security

needs and contribute to passenger safety in the event of an emergency.

This standard has been prepared by the Asset Standards Authority in consultation with TfNSW

agencies, and industry and supplier representatives.

This standard is a first issue by the ASA.

1. Introduction

This standard provides general principles and performance requirements for interior and exterior

lighting for TfNSW heavy rail passenger rolling stock under all operating and emergency

conditions.

Requirements for interior and exterior lighting for TfNSW passenger rolling stock have

previously been contained within fleet-specific procurement specifications.

This standard points to international and national standards as normative references and

provides detail on their exceptions and application to TfNSW passenger rolling stock.

2. Purpose

This standard aims to satisfy reliability, satisfy passenger comfort and security needs and

contributes to passenger safety; minimising risk to life in the event of an emergency.

2.1. Scope

This standard details the minimum performance requirements for the interior and exterior

lighting of TfNSW passenger rolling stock.

This standard does not include information on lighting installed in instruments or controls.

This standard does not contain information regarding lighting power supply and systems, which

is contained in T HR RS 10001 ST Electric Auxiliary Power Supply and Battery System for

Passenger Rolling Stock.

Human factors requirements and information about human interactions are contained in

T MU HF 00001 ST Human Factors Integration – General Requirements.

2.2. Application

This standard applies to new TfNSW passenger rolling stock and refurbishment or modifications

to existing TfNSW rolling stock assets.

Contracts and tenders for new or modified passenger rolling stock released before the standard

effective date are exempt from the requirements of this standard unless otherwise directed by

the TfNSW contract administrator.

5. General rolling stock lighting requirements

All light fittings shall comply with the following standards:

IEC 61373 Railway Applications - Rolling stock equipment – Shock and vibration tests

AS 60529 Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)

Interior light enclosures shall have a level of protection of at least IP55 as defined in AS 60529.

Exterior light enclosures and switches shall have a level of protection of at least IP66 as defined

in AS 60529.

Interior lighting for passenger rolling stock shall comply with the specific requirements on

lighting in the Disability Standard for Accessible Public Transport.

6. Interior lighting

In passenger areas, the lighting design should provide an ambience that promotes a sense of

passenger security and shall be of a sufficient illumination to enable internal surveillance to the

required clarity.

The tasks and activities expected to be carried out by crew, other personnel, and passengers

shall determine the interior lighting quantity and quality.

The design and type testing shall consider the operational life, ageing, and degradation of the

system.

The interior lighting design shall include maintained illumination values across the life of the

vehicle.

The interior lighting illuminance, uniformity and light quality features shall comply with

EN 13272. For the purpose of applying EN 13272, passenger rolling stock shall be classed as

'high speed and conventional trains', as defined in EN 13272.

The minimum value of average illuminance levels defined in EN 13272 shall not apply to the

following areas, but shall increase to the values shown:

seating areas where no additional reading lights are provided shall have an average

illuminance greater than or equal to 300 lx

vehicle access steps for exit and entrance doorways shall have an average illuminance

greater than or equal to 150 lx

Guidance on designing lighting systems and calculation of maintained illumination values is

provided in the AS/NZS 1680 series. See AS/NZS 1680.1:2006 for the definition of maintained

illuminance and information on its application in lighting design. The remainder of the

AS/NZS 1680 series provide guidance on recommended illuminance.
