This draft European Standard applies to distributor valves and distributor-isolating devices. The distributor valves contained in this European Standard are of graduated release type. Direct release types are not included. Functionally they are regarded as not containing relay valves of any type, even if the relay valves are physically an integral part of the distributor valves. This European Standard applies to both distributor-isolating devices mounted separate from the distributor valve and distributor-isolating devices integral with the distributor valve. This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design, testing and quality assurance of distributor valves and distributor-isolating devices. The distributor valve and distributor-isolating device are intended to be part of a brake system mounted in a vehicle with maximum length of 31 m and maximum brake pipe volume of 25 l taking into consideration brake pipe inner diameters between 25 mm and 32 mm.

This European Standard contains performance requirements and recommendations for electrical lighting systems in the interiors of public transport railway rolling stock under all operating and emergency conditions. This European Standard does not address lighting installed in instruments or controls.

This European standard defines warning horn requirements which deliver the required audibility of approaching high speed trains and conventional trains, excluding road, metro and self-contained systems. For this purpose, the following requirements are included: - functional and technical requirements of the warning horn as a component, - functional and technical requirements of the integration of warning horns into the vehicle, and - test requirements. Operational requirements for warning horns have been excluded. NOTE The requirements for the control of warning horns can be found in EN 16186-2.

The purpose of this European standard is to specify the procedure for fatigue strength assessment of railway vehicle structures based on cumulative damage. This document is applicable to all rail vehicle structures, which are covered by EN 12663 series (car body) and EN 13749 (bogie frame). It considers materials used for design of car bodies and bogie frames (steel, aluminum, castings and forgings) and the manufacturing according to the standards valid for railway applications. Note As a manufacturing standard, EN 15085 series covers the welding of rail vehicle structures. It is applicable for variable amplitude load data with total number of cycles higher than 10000 cycles. This document is not applicable for: - Corrosive conditions or - Elevated temperature operation in the creep range. A static strength assessment is outside the scope of this European Standard.

This European Standard defines the functional and technical requirements for head, marker and tail lamps for high speed trains and conventional trains, excluding road, metro and self-contained systems. This European Standard also defines the requirements for testing and conformity assessment. Portable lamps are excluded from the scope of this European Standard.

This European Standard defines the functional and technical requirements for exterior visible warning devices for urban rail vehicles as defined in the CEN-CENELEC Guide 26, i.e. metro systems, trams, light rail, and local rail systems. This European Standard also defines the requirements for testing and conformity assessment. NOTE The requirements for exterior visible warning devices for mainline rail are found in prEN 15153-1.

This European Standard defines the acoustic requirements and the test requirements for warning horns, bells (single and recurring sound) and whistles for urban rail vehicles as defined in the CEN CENELEC Guide 26, i.e. metro systems, trams, light rail, and 'local rail' systems. Additionally, the requirements for 'tram/trains' are included. NOTE The requirements for audible warning devices for mainline rail are found in prEN 15153-2.
