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 16585-2:2022 (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 document are to be used for rolling stock applications
— This document only refers to aspects of accessibility for PRM passengers; It does not define general
requirements and general 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
The 'Equipment and components' standard is written in three parts:
— Part 1 contains:
— toilets
— This document is Part 2 and contains:
— handholds
— seats
— wheelchair spaces
— Part 3 contains:
— clearways
— internal doors

3 Terms and definitions
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
3.1
clearway
unobstructed space with defined widths and heights to allow movement within a vehicle
3.2
clear width
clear usable width
unobstructed width of an open door or clearway to allow all passengers, including PRM, to pass through
3.3
doorway
opening in the vehicle body side that allows access to and egress from that vehicle
3.4
first step
step that is the first step for a passenger to use, to overcome a height change
Note 1 to entry: For the external access/egress steps this will normally be the step that is closest to the platform
edge (fixed or moveable step), therefore this is the first step when boarding and the last step when alighting.
Note 2 to entry: In the context of steps for internal height changes (other than the external access/egress steps) this
means the first usable step when ascending and the edge of the walking floor when descending.
3.5
fixed longitudinal seat
passenger seat which is installed along the body side (not foldable or intended to tip up) facing
perpendicular to the direction of travel
3.6
gangway
means for passengers to pass from one vehicle of a train to the adjacent vehicle and includes the inter-
vehicle connection device and any aisle (e.g. between body end cupboards, cabinets or toilets)
immediately adjacent to the device
Note 1 to entry: This definition is intentionally different from EN 16286-1.
3.7
inter-vehicle gangway
articulating device allowing transit between vehicles (provided for passenger use)
Note 1 to entry: This definition is similar to the definition in EN 16286-1 for gangway system.
prEN 16585-2:2022 (E)
3.8
handhold
discontinuous element designed to be gripped or held in order to aid personal stability
3.9
handrail
continuous element with round cross section for passengers to use to aid personal stability by gripping
around
3.10
last step
final step for an ascending passenger to use to overcome a height change, forming the edge of the walking
floor
3.11
palm operable
operable by the palm or any part of the hand, not requiring fingers to be unclenched
Note 1 to entry: The design need is that passengers with painful conditions, which affect their joints such as arthritis,
may be unable to (and are likely to experience discomfort or pain if they do) exert any force with the tip of a single
finger. Many may not be able to unclench their fingers to do this or perform any pulling action.
3.12
