Foreword
This European Standard (EN 15016-4:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256
“Railway applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by August 2006.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate M/024 given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU
Directive(s).
This European Standard has been prepared under Mode 4 co-operation with CENELEC/TC9X. In the event of
an amendment being required to this European Standard, the co-op TC shall be consulted before proceeding
to amend this European Standard.
Particular considerations were made to standardize the computerised transfer of the content of the documents,
its output on conventional information carrier and its reproduction without loss of quality. Remarks in
International Standards with regard to document handling are respected and supported by this European
Standard and if necessary adopted or completed to the well-established procedures in the European railway
business.
This standard “Technical drawings — Railway applications” consists of the following parts:
 EN 15016-1: General principles
 EN 15016-2: Parts lists
 EN 15016-3: Handling of modifications of technical documents
 EN 15016-4: Data exchange
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Introduction
In railway business, the customer very often requires, as part of a contract, technical documents in a certain
form. In order to support co-operation and effective exchange of information between customers, suppliers
and partners, it is necessary to have the document requirements precisely defined.
This European Standard refers to EN, ISO or IEC standards dealing with data fields. In cases where ISO or
IEC standards are not sufficiently precise, this European Standard gives specific details. These additions to
EN, ISO and IEC standards facilitate the exploitation and the administration of the data exchange.
These requirements have been drawn up in order to accommodate:
 the large variety of users;
 ease of transfer of documents;
 any specific series of documentation related to the railway material they define.
Special consideration has been given to those producing drawings by computer or micro-copying and their
reproduction without loss of quality.
NOTE The range of documents covers documents such as specifications, conditions for acceptance or further
technical specifications that may not be graphically represented. This is meant to highlight the difference between
"graphical representation" and "verbal description".
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the basis of an administrative process for exchange of data such as
technical drawings, design parts lists (see EN 15016-2) and other related technical documents for railway
applications.
This European Standard applies to all railway organisations and parties concerned with the exchange of
technical documents like drawings, parts lists and related technical documents that are officially numbered.
Furthermore, it applies to suppliers preparing these documents on behalf of the railway companies or railway
network users.
The basic requirements apply to all drawings, parts lists and related technical documents independently of the
type of data e.g. graphical information (images), database types or types of data carriers.
These rules are applied by all railway companies and railway industry in the countries of the European Union
(EU). Alternatively, the application of these rules can be agreed between contract partners who are settled in
the EU and partners who are not settled in the EU by means of a contract and/or mutual agreement.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
document
information on a data medium. Normally a document is designated in accordance with the type of information
and the form of presentation, for example overview diagram, connection table, function chart
[EN 61082-1:1993]
3.2
drawing list
list of drawings in no particular order. Possible structural correlations are neither visible nor comprehensible
3.3
table of drawings
list of drawings to which parts lists are referred to in particular order. The structural correlations among the
documents are visible and comprehensible
3.4
technical document (general)
necessary information, which is as complete as possible, gathered to form a unit for technical purposes. The
information is stored on an information medium in a non-volatile memory and is legible directly or by means of
optical or electronic aids.
NOTE Technical documents are part of the complete documentation and are necessary e.g. for manufacturing,
maintenance, procurement and application of products
3.5
technical document (specific)
document that contains important and main data of the technical product, which are not included in drawings
and parts lists
NOTE 1 This definition is applied in clause 6
NOTE 2 Technical documents are, inter alia, data sheets, descriptions, instructions/directions and manuals.
4 Administration of distributed information
Documents and information in a general sense can be sent in a variety of physical and electronic forms. It
shall be indicated in the administrating system in what form the information was sent.
When information is dispatched electronically it shall also be indicated in which format the files are written and
which version of the application is used.
To avoid misunderstanding between contract partners, non-contract partners and customers, administrative
procedures shall be set in force to keep track of information distributed. Therefore, the following points are to
be considered important for storage and maintenance in a company’s database or administrative system.
NOTE Documents can be sent for a variety of reasons and purposes e.g. just for information, to get a feedback of the
status, to get an approval, to inform the client/customer etc.
The status of the information sent shall be administrated to ensure that in case of a disagreement or
evaluation of the data
