Introduction
This document is part of a suite of four ‘Design for PRM use’ standards that have in total nine parts:
— EN 16584 is a standard that covers both infrastructure and rolling stock — Railway applications —
Design for PRM use - General requirements:
— Part 1: Contrast (EN 16584-1)
— Part 2: Information (EN 16584-2)
— Part 3: Optical and friction characteristics (EN 16584-3)
— EN 16585 is a standard that covers rolling stock - Railway applications - Design for PRM use -
Equipment and components onboard rolling stock:
— Part 1: Toilets (EN 16585-1)
— Part 2: Elements for sitting, standing and moving (EN 16585-2)
— Part 3: Clearways and internal doors (EN 16585-3)
— EN 16586 is a standard that covers Rolling stock — Railway applications — Design for PRM use -
Accessibility of persons with reduced mobility to rolling stock:
— Part 1: Steps for access and egress (EN 16586-1)
— Part 2: Boarding aids (EN 16586-2)
— EN 16587 is a standard that covers Infrastructure — Railway applications — Design for PRM use -
Requirements for obstacle-free routes for infrastructure.
These standards aim to clarify the requirements (with clear and consistent terms and definitions) and to
define the associated criteria and, where appropriate, methodologies to allow a clear pass/fail
assessment.
prEN 16587:2022 (E)
1 Scope
This document describes the specific ‘Design for PRM use’ requirements applying to rolling stock and the
assessment of those requirements. The following applies to this document:
— The definitions and requirements describe specific aspects of ‘Design for PRM use’ required by
persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility as defined in the PRM TSI.
— This document defines elements which are universally valid for obstacle-free travelling including
toilets, elements for sitting, standing and moving and clearways and internal doors. The definitions
and requirements of this standard are to be used for rolling stock applications.
— This document only refers to aspects of accessibility for PRM passengers; it does not define non-PRM
related requirements and definitions.
— This document assumes that the rolling stock is in its defined operating condition.
— Where minimum or maximum dimensions are quoted these are absolute NOT nominal requirements.
— This document is not specifically intended for Urban Rail, however these standards or clauses from
these standards can be adopted by Urban Rail projects should they choose to do so.
This document contains requirements relating to 'Obstacle-free routes'.
