This European Standard specifies requirements for the design, construction and operation of platform barrier systems positioned at the edge of a station platform immediately adjacent to rail or other guided vehicles in stations and boarding points for passenger services and includes: - requirements for the fixed structure and fixed parts along the platform; - physical requirements for the movable doors and gates normally used by passengers; - requirements for emergency doors; - requirements for driver access doors; - requirements for platform extremity doors; - requirements for management of safety risks that are particular to barrier systems. This European Standard also gives requirements for the integration of barriers with the overall rail system including: - synchronization of vehicle and platform barrier doors or gates; - audible and visible alerts; - integrity of control systems; - testing of the barrier installation; - operational performance; - requirements relating to other interfacing sub-systems, notably signalling and vehicles. For barrier systems set back from the platform edge, which are used to control access to trains or for crowd management, relevant sections of the document can be used as guidance. This European Standard applies to all actors involved in the implementation and system integration of a platform barrier system, including infrastructure owners, designers, installers and operators. This European Standard does not cover barrier systems using bars, ropes, etc. or which operate in a vertical direction. This European Standard applies to light rail services, e.g. metro and tramway systems and heavy rail services as requested by a project specification. It applies to small systems, working in conjunction with a single vehicle, or with larger systems working with a complete train. This European Standard applies to platform barrier systems used at sub-surface stations, enclosed surface stations (e.g. those enclosed for the purposes of providing an air-conditioned environment for waiting passengers), and those fully in the open-air. This European Standard does not cover normative requirements relating to fire performance or fire requirements arising from use of platform barrier systems as fire barriers.

This document defines the general terms and basic requests for adhesive bonding and sealing work as well as the requirements placed on adhesive users (hereafter called user-companies) and represents the state of the art for organizing adhesive bonding and sealing processes in the railway industry. This document applies for adhesive bonding and sealing adherends for: - the development of rail vehicles and its components (pre-production), - production of rail vehicles and its components (in-production), - the maintenance incl. repair of rail vehicles and its components (post-production), and - the quality assurance of production, inspection, maintenance incl. repair of rail vehicles and its components. This document is valid for every adhesively bonded joint in railway vehicles and its components independent of the material of the adherend. It is also valid for all kinds of adhesives independent of their solidification mechanism, their strength and their deformation properties. This document is not valid for: - screw retention by the usage of adhesives, if a pure screw assembly of the same design is sufficient for the purpose, - hybrid joints, if the expected function is given exclusively by another joining technology e.g., welding, screwing, riveting, - production of vulcanizates which do not lead to adhesively bonded joints, - production of plywood, - production of fibre reinforced plastic composites (FRP-composites), - production of laminated sheet glass (LSG), - pure encapsulating of electronic parts, and - single-sided adhesive decorative films.

This European Standard specifies the minimum ergonomic and structural integrity requirements for steps and handrails used by railway staff to access passenger vehicles, luggage vans, locomotives and power units of rolling stock. It also applies to passenger-rated car carriers. This European Standard defines the required spaces necessary for shunter handrails and shunter’s stand and gives references for the required spaces necessary for handling of screw couplings with side buffers. For staff access, it defines footsteps, handrails and their dimensions and free spaces. To fulfil the requirements for loads which are applied by the staff, it defines dimensions and requirements for materials or design loads. It also defines the general requirements of steps and handrail for access to external equipment, for example windscreens, wipers or external lights. This European Standard does not cover on track machines (mobile railway infrastructure construction and maintenance equipment) and tram-trains.

This European Standard specifies basic requirements for the braking of trains hauled by locomotives: - For trains hauled by locomotives and intended for use in general operation each vehicle is fitted with the traditional brake system with a brake pipe compatible with the UIC brake system. NOTE This ensures technical compatibility of the brake function between vehicles of various origins in a train (see 5.4). - For trains hauled by locomotives and intended for use in fixed or predefined formation, the requirements on the vehicle and the train are necessary. In the case of a UIC brake system, this standard applies; if not, the EN 16185 series or the EN 15734 series applies. If concerned, the UIC brake architecture described in this standard (see 5.4) can be used for brakes for multiple unit train and high speed trains and urban rail described in the EN 13452 series, the EN 16185 series and the EN 15734 series. This European Standard also takes into account electrical and electronic control functions and additional brake systems like dynamic brakes and adhesion independent brakes. The brake system requirements, which are specific for on-track machines are set out in EN 14033 1. This European Standard does not apply to Urban Rail rolling stock braking system, which is specified by EN 13452 1.

This European Standard: — defines the forces and moments to be taken into account with reference to masses, traction and braking conditions; — gives the stress calculation method for axles with outside axle journals; — specifies the maximum permissible stresses to be assumed in calculations for steel grade EA1N, EA1T and EA4T defined in EN 13261; — describes the method for determination of the maximum permissible stresses for other steel grades; — determines the diameters for the various sections of the axle and recommends the preferred shapes and transitions to ensure adequate service performance. This European Standard is applicable for: — axles defined in EN 13261 — powered and non-powered axles and — all track gauges3. The powered axle design method of this European Standard applies to: — solid and hollow powered axles for railway rolling stock; — solid and hollow non-powered axles of motor bogies; — solid and hollow non-powered axles of locomotives. The non-powered axle design method of this standard applies to solid and hollow axles of railway rolling stock used for the transportation of passengers and freight that are not considered in the list above. This European Standard is applicable to axles fitted to rolling stock intended to run under normal European conditions. Before using this European Standard, if there is any doubt as to whether the railway operating conditions are normal, it is necessary to determine whether an additional design factor has to be applied to the maximum permissible stresses. The calculation of wheelset axles for special applications (e.g. tamping/lining/levelling machines) may be made according to this European Standard only for the load cases of free-rolling and rolling in train formation. This European Standard does not apply to the loads induced by the vehicles in their working mode. They are calculated separately. This method can be used for light rail and tramway applications.
