Confirm compliance with Tram vehicle specifications

URN: UKTTE21
Business Sectors (Suites): Tram Engineering
Developed by: UK Tram
Approved on: 30 Mar 2021

Overview

This standard is about confirming compliance with Tram vehicle specifications.  You will be able to analyse the relevant information and specification of the Tram vehicle being work on and undertake the required integrity checks and tests to ensure the Tram vehicle assets, equipment, components and systems conform to the specification required prior to returning the Tram vehicle to operational service.  It also includes being able to identify and assess defects and variations to the specification and being able to take action in line with organisational procedures. You will know and understand the different tolerances and limits found in Tram vehicle specifications and how to evaluate the accuracy of the measurement and test equipment to ensure the effectiveness of the measurement or test being undertaken.  You will also know and understand the organisational procedures for dealing with a non-compliance asset, equipment, component or system. This standard is for those who work in the Tram engineering environment at supervisor/technician level.
