## Notice

This project aims to provide the GB rail industry with a quality and performance assessment criteria framework for sander design, build, installation, maintenance, overhaul and supply chain. The framework should: 1. Establish a benchmark for overall sanding system quality and performance; and quality and performance of key components, for example sand hopper, valve, and air supply. 2. Enable identification of valuable areas for improvement relative to the determined benchmark performance, enabling operators to identify which changes should be made (including changes to the supply chain). 3. Enable rolling stock leasing companies, maintainers and operators to assess the reliability of new sanding systems and supply chains for new or existing rolling stock. A pre-tender suppliers meeting has been arranged for 7 September 2020 at 12:00 - 13:30. The meeting will be held remotely on Microsoft Teams (the Microsoft Teams link shall be shared ahead of the meeting to confirmed attendees). Suppliers wishing to attend the event should email Tanja.Odinsen@rssb.co.uk to confirm arrangements.
