Note 1 to entry: It features an individual body shell lying on its own sets of bogies or wheels or sharing them with adjacent vehicles 3.1.11 wagon railway vehicle without traction designed to carry freight or goods SIST EN 15877-1:2012

4.1.2 A marking shall be located on the wagon at a position easily visible by staff standing at ground level and presented in a way clearly understandable to persons concerned. If the marking is intended to be read by a person standing at ground level, it should not be located at a level higher than 2 000 mm above the rail SIST EN 15877-1:2012

1) For the assessment of the location criteria, the ground level should not to be lower than 200 mm below the rail surface; in accordance with anthropometric data, the eye level of the reading person should not to be less than 1500 mm above ground; and the reading distance should be minimum 700 mm from the side of the wagon. Tilting the head back, it should be possible to look up at an angle of 45 degrees above horizontal; a calculation using these parameters gives the limitation 2000 mm. SIST EN 15877-1:2012

Measurements of chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor ß shall be made as specified in CIE 015-2004. For the measurement of chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor ß of ordinary, luminescent and retro reflecting markings, the material is considered to be illuminated by daylight as represented by the standard illuminant D65 at an angle of 45° with the normal to the surface and the observation made in the direction of the normal (45/0 geometry). The coefficient of retro reflection shall be measured in accordance with CIE 054.2–2001, using standard illuminant A with the condition that the entrance and observation angles are in the same plane. 4.3 Positioning Where applicable, markings shall be positioned generally according to Figures 2.a, 2.b and 3. The list of markings is contained in the table under 4.4 and their position and meaning described in 4.5. Not all markings can be accommodated in the diagrams.
