Railway standards

Standards developed for the railway sector (CENELEC TC 9X, IEC TC 9, CEN/TC 256, UIC, NF F, AREMA, NFPA). The scope indicates whether the standard applies to rolling stock, fixed installations, or both.

Fire protection

Fire protection on railway vehicles; Part 2 - requirements for materials and components according to requirement sets R and hazard levels HL1–HL3.

French standard - selection of rolling-stock materials according to fire behaviour (reaction to fire, smoke, toxicity); NF F 16-102 applies it to electrical equipment.

Fixed-guideway transit systems - fire-protection requirements (North American market).

Mechanical structures, cabinets and modular systems

German railway standard for 19" subracks in rolling stock - resistance to shock and vibration.

German railway standard for 19" subracks in rolling stock - resistance to shock and vibration.

Rolling stock - general requirements, environment and EMC

AREMA C&S Manual, Part 11.5.1 - environmental requirements (shock, vibration) for railway signalling equipment, North American market; classes by installation location.

Electromagnetic compatibility in railways: Part 3-2 rolling-stock apparatus, Part 4 trackside signalling and telecommunications, Part 5 fixed power-supply installations.

Railway applications - insulation coordination (rolling stock, fixed installations, signalling): clearances and creepage distances.

Railway applications - environmental conditions for equipment; Part 1: rolling stock and onboard equipment.

Railway applications - rolling stock; protective provisions against electrical hazards.

Electronic equipment used on rolling stock (printed-circuit-board components, sensors, semiconductor modules) - temperature, power supply, vibration, EMC.

Shock and vibration resistance testing of rolling-stock equipment.

Electric equipment for rolling stock: Part 1 general, Part 2 electrotechnical components, Part 3 DC circuit-breakers, Part 4 AC circuit-breakers, Part 5 HV fuses 600–3000 V DC.

Railway applications - insulation coordination; clearances and creepage distances in railway equipment.

French standard (cancelled) - sinusoidal vibration tests for electrical and electronic rolling-stock apparatus.

Traction power supply, energy measurement and railway signalling

DC switchgear in fixed installations (substations, traction power supply).

Environmental conditions for equipment - trackside signalling equipment.

Safety-related railway signalling systems.

Railway applications - supply voltages of traction systems (fixed installations and rolling stock).

Railway applications - power supply and rolling stock; technical criteria for coordination between the power-supply system and rolling stock.

Onboard energy measurement on railway vehicles.

Railway applications - DC signalling relays; equivalent subject area to UIC Leaflet 736.

UIC Leaflet 736 - railway signalling relays; replaced by IRS 70736 since 2022.

Vehicle mechanics, cab and accessibility

Adhesive bonding of rail vehicles and their parts - withdrawn series, replaced by EN 17460:2022 (qualification of production sites, design of bonded joints).

External doors of rail vehicles - requirements for door systems.

Welding of railway vehicles and their components.

Railways - wheel/rail friction management: Part 1-1 equipment and application of flange lubrication; Part 2-1 properties of lubricants.

Railways - lubricants for wheel flange lubrication (trainborne and trackside); withdrawn standard, replaced by EN 15427-2-1:2022.

Railways - driver's cab: Part 2 integration of displays, controls and indicators; Part 3 design of displays.

Railways - design for persons with reduced mobility (infrastructure and rolling stock): Part 1 contrast, Part 2 information.

French standard - mechanical support structures for onboard electronics (subracks, racks and cabinets according to IEC 297).

French standard - mechanical tests for 6U subracks and units made according to NF F 61-005.
