Overview

prEN 50463-3:2025 defines the requirements for the Data Handling System (DHS) of an Energy Measurement System (EMS) installed on trains and sets the foundational requirements for the on‑ground Data Collecting System (DCS) related to acquisition, storage and export of Compiled Energy Billing Data (CEBD). The draft standard supports consistent, auditable energy measurement workflows across rolling stock and back‑office systems.

Key benefits:

  • Accurate, auditable CEBD for energy billing and reporting
  • Interoperability between on‑board DHS and on‑ground DCS
  • Data integrity and traceability through quality codes and event logs

Key Topics

The standard addresses the following primary topics and system responsibilities:

  • Time data: sources, reference time, resolution, stability, synchronization and time quality codes required for timestamping energy and location records.
  • Energy data: accepted sources and data types, formats, index handling (including index overruns), k‑factor and accuracy considerations, and transmission from Energy Measurement Front-ends (EMF).
  • Location data: positioning sources, format expectations, merging location with time and energy records, and location quality codes and accuracy requirements.
  • Other data types: handling priorities, time tagging and integration of additional received or produced data relevant to CEBD.
  • Consumption Point ID (CPID): identification requirements to associate energy consumption with supply points.
  • Production of CEBD: structure and content of compiled billing data, handling of missing inputs, data integrity measures and quality coding.
  • DHS data storage and transmission: storage periods, memory considerations, and requirements for transferring CEBD from DHS to a bound DCS.
  • Marking and event recording: marking DHS devices and preserving event logs to support conformity and incident investigation.
  • Conformity assessment: design review, testing framework, type and routine testing (environmental, mechanical, electrical, functional) and DCS assessment.

Applications

prEN 50463-3:2025 is intended for:

  • Train manufacturers integrating EMS and DHS modules
  • Operators and infrastructure managers implementing energy billing workflows
  • System integrators and software vendors developing DCS solutions
  • Test and certification bodies assessing compliance and interoperability

Implementation ensures consistent CEBD capture for billing accuracy, regulatory compliance and cross‑border energy reporting.

143 This document is Part 3 of EN 50463 series which consists of the following parts, under the common title
144 Railway applications — Energy measurement on board trains:
145 — Part 1: General;
146 — Part 2: Energy measuring;
147 — Part 3: Data handling;
148 — Part 4: Communication;
149 — Part 5: Conformity assessment.
150 This series of European Standards follows the functional guidelines description in EN ISO/IEC 17000:2004,
151 Annex A “Principles of conformity assessment”, tailored to the energy measurement system (EMS).
152 Introduction
153 The energy measurement system (EMS) provides measurement and data suitable for billing and may also
154 be used for energy management, e.g. energy saving.
155 This series of European Standards uses the functional approach to describe the EMS and on-ground data
156 collecting system (DCS). These functions are implemented in one or more physical devices. The user of
157 this Series of standards is free to choose the physical implementation arrangements.
158 a) Structure and main contents of EN 50463 series:
159 This series of European Standards is divided into five parts. The titles and brief descriptions of each
160 part are given below:
161 1) EN 50463-1 — General:
162 The scope of EN 50463-1 is the energy measurement system (EMS).
163 EN 50463-1 provides system level requirements for the complete EMS and common
164 requirements for all devices implementing one or more functions of the EMS.
165 2) EN 50463-2 — Energy measuring:
166 The scope of EN 50463-2 is the energy measurement function (EMF).
167 The EMF provides measurement of the consumed and regenerated active energy of a railway
168 traction unit. If the traction unit is designed for use on AC electric traction power supply systems
169 the EMF also provides measurement of reactive energy. The EMF provides the measured
170 quantities via an interface to the data handling system.
171 The EMF consists of the three functions: voltage measurement function, current measurement
172 function and energy calculation function. For each of these functions, accuracy classes are
173 specified and associated reference conditions are defined. EN 50463-2 also defines all specific
174 requirements for all functions of the EMF.
175 The voltage measurement function measures the voltage of the contact line (CL) system and the
176 current measurement function measures the current taken from and returned to the CL system.
177 These functions provide signal inputs to the energy calculation function.
178 The energy calculation function inputs the signals from the current and voltage measurement
179 functions and calculates a set of values representing the consumed and regenerated energies.
180 These values are transferred to the data handling system and are used in the creation of
181 compiled energy billing data (CEBD).
182 The standard has been developed taking into account that in some applications the EMF is
183 subjected to legal metrological control. All relevant metrological aspects are covered in
184 EN 50463-2.
185 EN 50463-2 also defines the conformity assessment of the EMF and the functions of the EMF.
186 3) EN 50463-3 — Data handling:
187 The scope of EN 50463-3 is the data handling system (DHS) and the associated requirements of
188 data collecting system (DCS).
189 The on board DHS receives, produces and stores data, ready for transmission to any authorized
190 receiver of data onboard or on ground. The main goal of the DHS is to produce compiled energy
191 billing data (CEBD) and transfer it to an on ground data collecting system (DCS). The DHS can
192 support other functions on board or on ground with data, as long as this does not conflict with
193 the main goal.
194 The DCS on ground receives CEBD, stores the CEBD and transfer it to upstream servers such
195 as settlement system.
196 EN 50463-3 also defines the conformity assessment of the DHS and for the transfer of CEBD to
197 an on-ground DCS.
198 4) EN 50463-4 — Communication:
199 The scope of EN 50463-4 is the communication services.
200 EN 50463-4 gives requirements and guidance regarding the data communication between the
201 functions implemented within EMS as well as between such functions and other on board units
202 where data are exchanged using a communications protocol stack over a dedicated physical
203 interface or a shared network.
204 It includes the board to ground communication service and covers the requirements necessary
205 to support data transfer between DHS and DCS.
206 EN 50463-4 also defines the conformity assessment of the communications services.
207 5) EN 50463-5 — Conformity assessment:
208 The scope of EN 50463-5 is the conformity assessment procedures for the EMS.
209 EN 50463-5 also covers re-verification procedures and conformity assessment in the event of
210 the replacement of a device of the EMS.
211 b) EMS functional structure and dataflow:
212 Figure 1 illustrates the functional structure of the EMS, the relevant operating dataflow and is
213 informative only. Only the main interfaces required by this EN 50463 series are displayed by arrows.
214 Since the communication function is distributed throughout the EMS, it has been widely omitted for
215 clarity, except for the train to ground communication. Not all interfaces are shown.

218 1 Scope
219 This part of the EN 50463 series covers the requirements applicable to the data handling system (DHS) of
220 an energy measurement system (EMS).
221 This document also includes the basic requirements for the data collecting system (DCS) on-ground,
222 relating to the acquisition and storage and export of compiled energy billing data (CEBD).
223 The conformity assessment arrangements for the DHS and the DCS are specified in this document.
224 The settlement system is outside the scope of this document, and the specification of the interface between
225 DCS and settlement system is outside the scope of this document.

293 — consecutive synchronisation attempts not resulting in a successful synchronisation during a timeframe
294 of 4 h.
295 Where applicable, the DHS shall be able to undertake correction to account for leap second off-set if not
296 already undertaken at source.
297 4.2.7 Quality code for time data
298 Each time data in the DHS shall be accompanied by a time data quality code.
299 One of the following quality codes shall be used with time data (see Table 1):
300 Table 1 — Time data quality codes
Rank Value Read as Interpretation
1 127 Measured There is no indication of a possible error in the time data or time
source
2 61 Uncertain Synchronization has adjusted the clock more than 2 s,
or there is a possible error in:
a) the internal time source or in the time data provided by it or
b) time data attached to other data received by the DHS
The alternatives presented in the above list are ranked from 1 to 2, where 1 is the highest rank.
NOTE The codes are based on the UN/CEFACT/EDED (EDIFACT Data Element Directory), D.14B, Data
Element 4405 (Status description code).
301 A synchronization where the clock is adjusted less than 2 s is not regarded as an error and shall in itself
302 not result in a change of quality code from 127.
303 4.3 Energy data
304 4.3.1 Source
305 The DHS shall be able to receive energy data from one or more ECF (see prEN 50463-2:2025).
306 If the DHS is capable of interfacing with multiple EMF in an EMS configuration, then the DHS shall be able
307 to identify each EMF uniquely. It shall be ensured that the DHS allocates the energy data to the correct
308 register and CEBD.
309 4.3.2 Type
310 The DHS shall receive energy data from the ECF necessary for the creation of CEBD.
311 NOTE Each energy data received from an ECF consist of two mandatory values (active energy
312 consumed/regenerated) and two conditional values (reactive energy consumed/regenerated, if AC electricity type is
313 measured by EMF).
314 4.3.3 Format
315 The values in the energy data received from an ECF will be in units of Watt-hour (active energy) and var-
316 hour (reactive energy) or their decimal-multiples.
317 The energy data received from an ECF are either energy delta values or energy index values or both.
318 If the only energy data received from an ECF are delta values and the DHS also produces optional index
319 values, the DHS shall use these delta values to produce the index values.
320 If the only energy data received from an ECF are index values, the DHS shall use these index values to
321 produce the delta values.
322 If the energy data received from an ECF are index values and delta values, the DHS shall use these inputs
323 to produce energy data of the same type (e.g. delta inputs are used by the DHS to produce delta values
324 only).
325 NOTE The algorithms for producing energy delta values in CEBD are specified in 4.7.4.
326 4.3.4 Index value overrun
327 The DHS shall be able to detect any index value overrun in an ECF from the energy data received from the
328 ECF. When this occurs, the DHS shall still be able to calculate required energy delta values.
329 4.3.5 Merging with time data
330 Energy data in the DHS shall be accompanied by time data according to 4.2, where required for the
331 production of CEBD. If the energy data provided by the ECF does not include time data, the DHS shall add
332 time data without introducing any time displacement error to the energy data.
333 4.3.6 Quality codes for energy data
334 Each energy data in the DHS shall be accompanied by an energy data quality code.
335 One of the following quality codes shall be used with energy data (see Table 2):
336 Table 2 — Energy data quality codes
Rank Value Read as Interpretation
1 127 Measured The energy data are based on measurements and calculations in
the ECF and there is no indication of a possible error
A correctly measured 0 kWh also has this quality code (e.g. in
case of running with pantograph down)
2 61 Uncertain There is a possible error in the energy data received from the ECF
3 46 Non- The DHS has no energy data available for the time period
existent represented by the time data.
The alternatives presented in the above list are ranked from 1 to 3, where 1 is the highest rank.
Examples of situations that when identified by the DHS should result in quality code 61: partially
missing energy data, negative values, extreme values, indication of EMF malfunction, energy data
received with quality code 61, attached time data received with quality code 61.
NOTE The codes are based on the UN/CEFACT/EDED (EDIFACT Data Element Directory), D.14B,
Data Element 4405 (Status description code).
337 If energy data are received from ECF with quality code attached, then these quality codes shall be used as
338 part of the basis for setting the quality code for each energy data when received to the DHS.
339 4.3.7 k-factor
340 Any DHS intended to be able to receive energy data as secondary values from one or more ECF, shall be
341 able to:
342 a) convert the secondary values to primary values upon reception of energy data to the DHS, by using
343 the correct k-factor;
344 b) store k-factor(s) in a non-volatile access-protected memory;
345 c) log each change of k-factor.
346 4.3.8 Accuracy
347 Energy data production within the DHS shall not introduce errors which degrade the accuracy of the input
348 data.
349 4.3.9 Transmission from EMF
350 The DHS energy data transfer arrangements shall be compatible with its intended EMF(s). The transfer of
351 energy data from a compatible ECF shall enable the DHS to fulfil the requirements in 4.7.
352 The transfer arrangements shall ensure the DHS receives a complete set of energy data for each time
353 reference period before commencing the transfer of energy data for the next time period.
354 The energy data might have shorter measurement period than TRP when received to the DHS.
355 See prEN 50463-2:2025, 4.4.8. for requirements of the timelength for which each energy data represents.
356 4.4 Location data
357 4.4.1 Source
358 The DHS shall be able to receive location data from an on-board function providing location data originating
359 from an external source. It may also be able to receive location data from additional sources of location
360 data generated on-board the traction unit.
361 4.4.2 Format
362 Location data shall be based on the World Geodetic System, revision WGS 84.
363 Location data used in the DHS shall be expressed as longitude and latitude using the format in Table 3:
364 Table 3 — Location data format
Format Latitude Longitude Minimum number of decimals
Decimal Degrees ±DD.XXXXX ±DDD.XXXXX 5
Abbreviations: D = degree digit, X = decimals. Positive value is north/west, Negative value is
south/east.
365 4.4.3 Merging with time data
366 Any location data received by the DHS without time data in compliance with 4.2 shall be compiled with the
367 corresponding time data by the DHS.
368 4.4.4 Accuracy
369 In open air the location data shall have an accuracy of at least 250 m.
370 4.4.5 Quality codes for location data
371 Each location data in the DHS shall be accompanied by a location data quality code.
372 One of the following quality codes shall be used with location data (see Table 4):
373 Table 4 — Location data quality codes
Rank Value Read as Interpretation
1 127 Measured the location data received by the DHS is trustworthy, i.e.
location data are based on coordinates provided from a
source external to the traction unit, giving longitude and
latitude coordinates and these coordinates are not older
than 15 s
2 56 Estimated location data based on coordinates from an additional
source on-board the traction unit (see 4.4.1), and these
coordinates are not older than 15 s
3 61 Uncertain location data older than 15 s or the DHS has identified
possible error in the location data
4 46 Non- the DHS has no location data available for the
existent measurement period represented by the time data
The alternatives presented in the above list are ranked from 1 to 4, where 1 is the highest
rank.
Examples of situations that when identified by the DHS should result in quality code 61:
partially missing location data, extreme values, indication of malfunction of location data
source (e.g. GNSS), location data received with too high inaccuracy (see 4.4.4) or with
quality code 61, attached time data received with quality code 61.
NOTE The codes are based on the UN/CEFACT/EDED (EDIFACT Data Element Directory),
D.14B, Data Element 4405 (Status description code).
374 If location data received by the DHS carries quality codes, then these quality codes shall be used as part
375 of the basis for setting the quality code for each location data when received to the DHS.
376 If the DHS has more than one location data available at time of use, then the DHS shall use the location
377 data with the highest rank. If these location data are of equal rank, the location data with newest time data
378 shall be used.
379 4.5 Other received or produced data
380 4.5.1 Types
381 The DHS may also handle and produce other data/data sets associated with other parts of the Energy
382 Measurement System and provide support for operational surveillance and maintenance
383 NOTE Examples of such data are voltage level, current level and non-mandatory flags from the EMF and data
384 from hybrid train-specific sources such as battery status, or other sources activated.
385 4.5.2 Data handling prioritization
386 Any data handling or communication activity linked to such data shall not interfere with the flow and
387 processing of data associated with CEBD.
388 4.5.3 Time tag
389 Data covered by 4.5 is not required to be linked to time data. Any time
