IEC 62290‑3:2025 specifies the system architecture for urban guided transport management and command/control systems (UGTMS) as defined in IEC 62290‑1 and IEC 62290‑2, and the allocation of functions and requirements defined in IEC 62290‑2 to the different UGTMS subsystems (designated as system constituents in IEC 62290‑1 and IEC 62290‑2), for use in urban guided passenger transport lines and networks.
The IEC 62290 series specifies the functional, system and interface requirements for the command, control, and management systems intended to be used on urban, guided passenger transport lines and networks.
These systems are designated herein as urban guided transport management and command/control systems (UGTMS). UGTMS cover a wide range of operations needs from non-automated (GOA1) to unattended (GOA4) operation. A line may be equipped with UGTMS on its full length or only partly equipped.
The IEC 62290 series does not specifically address security issues. However, aspects of safety requirements may apply to ensuring security within the urban guided transit system.
The main objectives of this series are as follows:
* to provide a baseline system description and functional requirements specification for a transport authority to use in a request for proposal,
* to provide recommendations for those transport authorities wishing to acquire an interoperable or interchangeable system.
It is the responsibility of the transport authority concerned to decide on how to apply the IEC 62290 series and to take into account their particular needs.
The IEC 62290 series is also intended to support applications for upgrading existing signalling and command control systems. In this case, interchangeability and compatibility could be ensured only for the additional UGTMS equipment. Checking the possibility for upgrading existing equipment and the level of interoperability is the responsibility of the transport authority concerned.
This document is applicable for new lines or for upgrading existing signalling and command control systems.
This document is applicable to applications using
* continuous data transmission,
* continuous supervision of train movements by train protection profile, and
* localisation by onboard UGTMS equipment (reporting trains), and optionally by external wayside (and optionally onboard) device.
The functional allocations of the UGTMS subsystems are mandatory (forming a sort of core system) or optional, according to the mandatory/optional functions and requirements defined in IEC 62290‑2.
This document is applicable as a basis to define FIS and FFFIS. For specific applications, some elements can be added to meet the requirements coming from additional functions or equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the last maintenance of IEC 62290‑1 is taken into account, in particular the changes made for describing the external environment of UGTMS;
b) the last maintenance of IEC 62290‑2 is taken into account, as IEC 62290‑3 is using the requirements defined in the latter. Therefore, the document reflects the deleted functions and requirements in IEC 62290‑2, and also the new functions and requirements.

The IEC 62290 series specifies the functional, system and interface requirements for the command, control, and management systems intended to be used on urban, guided passenger transport lines and networks.
These systems are designated herein as urban guided transport management and command/control systems (UGTMS). UGTMS cover a wide range of operations needs from non-automated (GOA1) to unattended (GOA4) operation. A line may be equipped with UGTMS on its full length or only partly equipped.
The IEC 62290 series does not specifically address security issues. However, aspects of safety requirements may apply to ensuring security within the urban guided transit system.
The main objectives of this series are as follows:
- to provide a baseline system description and functional requirements specification for a transport authority to use in a request for proposal,
- to provide recommendations for those transport authorities wishing to acquire an interoperable or interchangeable system.
It is the responsibility of the transport authority concerned to decide on how to apply the IEC 62290 series and to take into account their particular needs.
This document is applicable to applications using:
- continuous data transmission,
- continuous supervision of train movements by train protection profile, and
- localisation of trains by onboard UGTMS equipment (reporting trains), and optionally by external wayside (and optionally onboard) device.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Figure 3, giving the system environment of UGTMS, has been amended to reflect the adaptation of it;
b) external equipment for which no requirement is described in the IEC 62290 series has been removed;
c) new external equipment having such requirements (like the washing machine) has been added.

IEC 62425:2025 is applicable to safety-related electronic systems (including subsystems and equipment) for railway signalling applications. This document applies to generic systems (i.e. generic products or systems defining a class of applications), as well as to systems for specific applications. The scope of this document, and its relationship with other IEC and CENELEC standards, are shown in Figure 1. This document is applicable only to the functional safety of systems. It does not deal with other aspects of safety such as the occupational health and safety of personnel. While functional safety of systems clearly can have an impact on the safety of personnel, there are other aspects of system design which can also affect occupational health and safety and which are not covered by this document. Cybersecurity aspects of functional safety are addressed only to a limited extent. This document applies to all the phases of the life cycle of a safety-related electronic system, focusing in particular on phases 5 (architecture and apportionment of system requirements) to 10 (system acceptance) as defined in IEC 62278-1: -
Requirements for systems which are not related to safety are outside the scope of this document. This document is not applicable to existing systems, subsystems or equipment which had already been accepted prior to the development of this document. However, so far as reasonably practicable, it is applicable to modifications and extensions to existing systems, subsystems and equipment. This document is primarily applicable to systems, subsystems or equipment which have been specifically designed and manufactured for railway signalling applications. It is also applicable, so far as reasonably practicable, to general-purpose or industrial equipment (e.g. power supplies, display screens or other commercial off the shelf items), which is procured for use as part of a safety-related electronic system. This document is aimed at railway duty holders, railway suppliers, and assessors as well as at safety authorities, although it does not define an approval process to be applied by the safety authorities. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) a better alignment with the life cycle phases defined in IEC 62278-1 has been made;
b) Clause 5 describes the requirements that apply to the development of safety-related electronic systems (until phase 9 of the life cycle);
c) Clause 8 focuses on the requirements for safety acceptance and approval of safety-related electronic systems and subsequent phases;
d) requirements and guidance have been added in Clause 6 on the following topics:
- reuse of pre-existing systems,
- safety-related tools,
- impact of cybersecurity threats on functional safety,
- specific application safety cases;
e) requirements for the structure and content of the safety case are now defined in a dedicated Clause 7;
f) Annex A has been updated for the specification and allocation of safety integrity requirements;
g) the content of former Annex D has been merged with Annex B, and the content has been changed from informative to normative;
h) the status of Annex E has been changed from informative to normative;
i) an Annex F has been added as an informative annex on User Programmable Integrated Circuits.

This document establishes the acceptance criteria according to EN 50388-1:2022, 10.2 for compatibility between traction units and power supply for known phenomena and known technologies. That is in relation to:
- co-ordination between controlled elements and also between these elements and resonances in the electrical infrastructure in order to achieve network system stability;
- co-ordination of harmonic behaviour with respect to excitation of electrical resonances.
The following electric traction systems are within the scope:
- railways;
- guided mass transport systems that are integrated with railways;
- material transport systems that are integrated with railways.
Public three-phase networks are out of the scope, but networks which are dedicated to railways are included.
This document is applied in accordance with the requirements in EN 50388-1:2022, Clause 10. It does not apply retrospectively to rolling stock or railway power supply elements already in service.
It is the aim of this Part 2 to support acceptance of new elements (rolling stock or infrastructure) by specifying precise requirements and methods for demonstration of compliance. This document acts as “code of practice” quoted in EN 50388-1:2022, 10.2. However, it is still admissible to use the process as defined in EN 50388-1:2022, 10.3 instead.
This version of the standard only applies to AC systems. Later versions might include similar effects in DC networks in addition, see Annex D.
The main phenomena identified and treated in this document are:
- electrical resonance stability;
- low frequency stability;
- overvoltages caused by harmonics.
The interaction with signalling (including track circuits) is not dealt with in this document.

b) the last maintenance of IEC 62290‑2 is taken into account, as IEC 62290‑3 is using the requirements defined in the latter. Therefore, the document reflects the deleted functions and requirements in IEC 62290‑2, and also the new functions and requirements.

This document establishes the acceptance criteria according to EN 50388-1:2022, 10.2 for compatibility between traction units and power supply for known phenomena and known technologies. That is in relation to: - co-ordination between controlled elements and also between these elements and resonances in the electrical infrastructure in order to achieve network system stability; - co-ordination of harmonic behaviour with respect to excitation of electrical resonances. The following electric traction systems are within the scope: - railways; - guided mass transport systems that are integrated with railways; - material transport systems that are integrated with railways. Public three-phase networks are out of the scope, but networks which are dedicated to railways are included. This document is applied in accordance with the requirements in EN 50388-1:2022, Clause 10. It does not apply retrospectively to rolling stock or railway power supply elements already in service. It is the aim of this Part 2 to support acceptance of new elements (rolling stock or infrastructure) by specifying precise requirements and methods for demonstration of compliance. This document acts as “code of practice” quoted in EN 50388-1:2022, 10.2. However, it is still admissible to use the process as defined in EN 50388-1:2022, 10.3 instead. This version of the standard only applies to AC systems. Later versions might include similar effects in DC networks in addition, see Annex D. The main phenomena identified and treated in this document are: - electrical resonance stability; - low frequency stability; - overvoltages caused by harmonics. The interaction with signalling (including track circuits) is not dealt with in this document.
