1 Scope
!This document describes the functionality, constraints, performance and operation of a brake
system for use in self-propelling thermal and electric trains operating on routes of the European rail
system network."
This European Standard covers:
— all new vehicle designs of self-propelling thermal and electric trains being operated at a maximum
speed up to 200 km/h, in the following text simply called EMU/DMU;
— all major overhauls of the above-mentioned vehicles if they involve redesigning or extensive
alteration to the brake system of the vehicle concerned.
This standard does not cover:
— locomotive hauled trains which are specified by EN 14198;
— mass transit rolling stock which is specified by EN 13452-1;
— high speed trains being operated at speeds greater than 200 km/h which are specified by
EN 15734-1.
