What the standard covers

The series specifies requirements for "design for persons with reduced mobility" (PRM) within the meaning of the PRM TSI and applies to both INFRASTRUCTURE and rolling stock: lighting, contrast, tactile information, and the presentation of visual and audible information.

Part 2 covers spoken, written and tactile information and pictograms; Part 1 covers contrast.

What this means for selection

A passenger information indicator compliant with EN 16584-1/-2 (contrast, pictograms, audible information) supports demonstration of vehicle compliance with the PRM TSI without a separate accessibility assessment.
