General Information

Overview
EN 14813-2:2006+A1:2010 - Railway applications - Air conditioning for driving cabs - Part 2: Type tests (CEN) defines test programmes and measurement methods to verify heating, ventilation and air‑conditioning (HVAC) installations in railway driving cabs. It applies to locomotives, mainline, suburban or regional vehicles, and urban stock (metros, trams), but excludes special requirements for shunt locomotives. Comfort parameter limits referenced in this document are defined in EN 14813-1.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Test classification
- TL1 (simplified): workshop/yard level checks for basic functionality (not full comfort verification).
- TL2 (full): comprehensive verification of comfort parameters in a climatic chamber or equivalent environment (default if unspecified).
- Comfort tests
- Air movement and airflow rate measurements, pressure differential visualisation (e.g., smoke), and air speed mapping at defined measuring points.
- Thermal comfort assessment; use of thermal mannequins is recommended for detailed analysis.
- Climatic tests
- Preheating, precooling and regulation tests at defined test levels (TL1/TL2). Continuous recording of measured values, HVAC energy consumption and vehicle power absorption.
- Example environmental test conditions: vehicle stationary, altitude < 1 000 m, exterior air speed 0–5 km/h, exterior temperature +15 °C to +30 °C (corrections applied outside these limits).
- Complementary tests
- Thermography, noise emission, vibration generation and determination of performance coefficients.
- Methods & instruments
- Measurement methods for air and surface temperatures, relative humidity, air speed, airflow rate, simulated vehicle speed, equivalent solar load and energy consumption.
- References to measurement standards (e.g., EN ISO 7726, EN ISO 3381).
- Test setup and documentation
- Characteristics of test equipment, sensor distribution, and normative annexes (test programmes for TL1/TL2, equivalent solar load, measuring point layouts).
Applications and users
- Intended users:
- Rolling stock manufacturers and HVAC system suppliers.
- Test laboratories and climatic chamber facilities.
- Vehicle engineers, procurement/specification writers, and rail operators seeking compliance verification.
- Certification bodies and conformity assessment teams supporting interoperability under EU Directive 2008/57/EC.
- Practical uses:
- Verify HVAC designs meet cab comfort requirements before commissioning.
- Define contractual test requirements (TL1/TL2) and acceptance criteria.
- Support fault diagnosis, retrofit validation and energy performance assessment.

TL1 is a simplified level that gives principle information about the functionality of the system. It does not aim to verify the comfort parameters and performance of the system. It can be done in a workshop or at a yard. TL2 is a full level test to verify the comfort parameters and the performance of the system. This test shall be performed in a climatic chamber or in an appropriate environment. The operator shall detail in his contractual specification the test classification.
