For assessment the number of seats includes all types of seats except those tip-up seats in the vestibule and regulated wheelchair spaces. Wheelchair spaces, standing supports and all other equipment where the user is not intended to sit down completely, are not considered as seats. Where 10 % of the total number of priority seats does not produce a whole number the number of seats required shall be rounded up. SIST EN 16585-2:2017

NOTE 2 Passage to priority seats should involve as little height change as possible, preferably on the same level as the entrance. 4) The level of equipment fitted to the priority seat shall, as a minimum, be the same as that fitted to the general seats of the same type. — “Type” in this context is understood as, for example, first class or second class seat, in a row or face to face. — When, for example, second class seats in a row are fitted with a tray and a magazine holder, then second class priority seats in a row shall also be fitted with a tray and a magazine holder. 5) When seats are fitted with armrests, priority seats of the same type: — shall be fitted with movable armrests: — “Type” in this context is understood as, for example, first class or second class seat, in a row or face to face — This excludes armrests placed along the vehicle bodyside or along a partition wall in the case of compartments. — The required force to move an armrest out of the way should be less than 60 N but it is recommended that it should be approximately 25 N. — The movable armrest shall move into a position in line with the seat back cushion to enable unrestricted access to the seat or to any adjacent priority seats. — When assessing the position that the armrest is required to move to, ensure that the armrest is not protruding from the seatback cushion but is in line with or behind the line of the cushion. Where the armrest is designed to be in line with the cushion and follow its profile a tolerance of 10 mm to that profile is permitted due to the characteristics of the foam and material variance. 6) Priority seats shall not be tip-up seats. — Tip-up in this context includes foldable seats where a continuous action is required by a passenger in order for the seat to be maintained in the usable position (other than moving the armrest or table or reclining for access). 7) Each priority seat and the space available to its user.

The EN 16585-2:2017 standard serves as a critical guideline for the design and assessment of rolling stock in relation to persons with disabilities and those with reduced mobility (PRM). Its comprehensive scope emphasizes the importance of accessible railway applications, particularly focusing on elements crucial for sitting, standing, and moving within the train environment. A significant strength of this standard lies in its specificity. By detailing the requirements for handholds, seats, and wheelchair spaces, it ensures that all rolling stock adheres to essential design principles that foster an inclusive travel experience. This is especially relevant in the context of promoting equal access to transportation for PRM passengers, aligning with broader societal goals of inclusivity and equity. Moreover, EN 16585-2:2017 stands out by establishing universally applicable definitions and requirements that promote obstacle-free travel. This clarity aids manufacturers and designers in creating environments that accommodate the diverse needs of individuals with reduced mobility. The explicit focus on absolute dimensions rather than nominal specifications reinforces the standard’s commitment to safety and usability, ensuring that the designed elements fulfill their intended function consistently. Additionally, the careful curation of the content, divided into parts that focus comprehensively on specific components, facilitates a more thorough understanding of the requirements. Each part builds a cohesive framework for addressing accessibility issues, underscoring the standard's holistic approach to railway design. In conclusion, the relevance of EN 16585-2:2017 cannot be overstated, particularly as the global push for accessible public transportation continues to gain momentum. Its targeted focus on PRM needs positions it as an essential reference document for stakeholders involved in the design and operation of rolling stock, ensuring compliance with modern accessibility standards and enhancing the travel experience for all passengers.
SIST EN 16585-2:2017は、鉄道アプリケーションにおけるPRM(Reduced Mobility)利用者向けの設計要求を詳述する重要なスタンダードです。この標準の範囲は、車両の設備および構成要素に特化しており、障害者や移動の制約がある人々が利用する際の具体的な要件を提供します。 このスタンダードの強みは、PRM利用者が安全かつ快適に旅をするために必要な設計基準を明確に定義している点です。例えば、座席、手すり、車椅子スペースに関する具体的な要件が含まれており、障害物のない移動を可能にするための要素を網羅しています。このように、スムーズな移動や座席確保のための明確な基準が設けられており、実際の利用シーンに即した設計が可能です。 さらに、SIST EN 16585-2:2017は、PRM利用者が快適に使用できるトイレ、内部ドア、通路などの要素を考慮しているため、乗客のアクセシビリティ向上にも寄与しています。このように、アクセシビリティを重視した設計が求められる現代において、このスタンダードは非常に重要です。 加えて、このスタンダードは、具体的な寸法要件が絶対的なものであることを明記しており、設計者やメーカーがその要件を遵守しやすいように配慮されています。その結果、実運用においても、明確な基準に基づいた安全な設計が期待できます。 全体として、SIST EN 16585-2:2017は、鉄道におけるPRM利用者に特化したデザイン要求を提供することにより、アクセシビリティ向上に大きく貢献するスタンダードであり、私たちが進めるべき方向性を示しています。このスタンダードを遵守することにより、より多くの人々が快適に鉄道サービスを利用できることを目指しています。
