Assistant Signalling Maintainer
1.4.100 - Covers the role of maintaining and rectifying signalling or control systems equipment under the direction of a licensed maintainer.
You, as an Assistant Signalling Maintainer, will be capable of maintaining and rectifying signalling or control systems equipment under the direction of a licensed maintainer.
The types of equipment to be maintained may include: Points; Train control; Power supplies; and Train detection.
(Train control equipment may include signal or some other method of authorising train movements, train detection may include track circuits or axle counters.)

Signalling Fault Finder
1.4.120 - Signalling Fault Finders will be capable of locating and diagnosing faults in signalling systems and equipment.
Signalling Fault Finders will be capable of locating and diagnosing faults in signalling systems and equipment where the preservation of evidence is not necessarily required. The type and range of problems and faults cover both simple and complex faults due to environmental factors, ageing, human error, inherent design problems and may be either right side or wrong side failures.

Signalling Maintenance Tester
1.4.160 - Signalling Maintenance Testers will be responsible for undertaking the testing activities in support of the maintenance of operational signalling equipment.
You, as a Signalling Maintenance Tester, will be responsible for undertaking the testing activities in support of the maintenance of operational signalling equipment. Whilst undertaking testing activities you:
• Identify the testing requirements
• Undertake defined tests
• Identify where systems and equipment are not to specification.
• Provide suitable and sufficient evidence to confirm that renewed and repaired signalling equipment is fit for entry into service.
• Undertake defined tests
• Identify where systems and equipment are not to specification.
• Provide suitable and sufficient evidence to confirm that renewed and repaired signalling equipment is fit for entry into service.
Testing is normally required following the reinstatement of operational signalling systems or equipment. Reinstatement will normally have been carried out following disconnection, repair, adjustment or replacement on a like-for-like or operationally equivalent basis. Equipment or components will normally have been repaired, adjusted, or replaced because they are out of specification, missing, or life-expired.

Combined Signalling Maintainer & Fault Finder
1.4.230 - Combined Signalling Maintainers & Fault Finders will be capable of maintaining or rectifying signalling systems and equipment and more.
You, as a Signalling Maintainer and Fault Finder will be capable of:
• maintaining or rectifying signalling equipment and systems
• completing integrity checks on your own work
• instigating testing where necessary
• identifying where independent testing is required
• locating and diagnosing faults in signalling equipment where the preservation of evidence is not necessarily required.
• maintaining or rectifying signalling equipment and systems
• completing integrity checks on your own work
• instigating testing where necessary
• identifying where independent testing is required
• locating and diagnosing faults in signalling equipment where the preservation of evidence is not necessarily required.
The type and range of problems and faults cover both simple and complex faults due to environmental factors, equipment ageing, human error, inherent design problems and may be either right side or wrong side failures.
If the work will go beyond your limits of authority as a faultfinder then your responsibilities are to ensure the safety of the system and preservation of evidence, and hand over the work to an incident investigator or other authorised person.
Signalling systems and equipment include: • Points, • Train control, • Power supplies, • Train detection. (Train control equipment may include signals or some other method of authorising train movements, train detection may include track circuits or axle counters).
The assessment should normally cover three of the four systems listed. Exceptionally, the assessment may cover an applicant who specialises in a more limited range of systems; where an appropriate level of competence can be demonstrated.
