IEC 63536:2025 specifies minimum functional requirements for urban rail signalling and control systems (for use in urban guided passenger transport lines and networks)
- which operate on line-of-sight or using automatic interlock signalling with intermittent supervision,
- not covered by the existing UGTMS standard IEC 62290 series, and
- not forming a part of an urban traffic control system but possibly interfaced with such systems.
The document is restricted to minimum functional requirements which allow users to define more specific requirements based on the given framework of the system requirements at top level. This document is not applicable to command and control systems for urban rail using continuous data transmission and continuous supervision of train movements by train protection profile (already covered by the IEC 62290 series).

IEC 62425:2025 is applicable to safety-related electronic systems (including subsystems and equipment) for railway signalling applications. This document applies to generic systems (i.e. generic products or systems defining a class of applications), as well as to systems for specific applications. The scope of this document, and its relationship with other IEC and CENELEC standards, are shown in Figure 1. This document is applicable only to the functional safety of systems. It does not deal with other aspects of safety such as the occupational health and safety of personnel. While functional safety of systems clearly can have an impact on the safety of personnel, there are other aspects of system design which can also affect occupational health and safety and which are not covered by this document. Cybersecurity aspects of functional safety are addressed only to a limited extent. This document applies to all the phases of the life cycle of a safety-related electronic system, focusing in particular on phases 5 (architecture and apportionment of system requirements) to 10 (system acceptance) as defined in IEC 62278-1: -
Requirements for systems which are not related to safety are outside the scope of this document. This document is not applicable to existing systems, subsystems or equipment which had already been accepted prior to the development of this document. However, so far as reasonably practicable, it is applicable to modifications and extensions to existing systems, subsystems and equipment. This document is primarily applicable to systems, subsystems or equipment which have been specifically designed and manufactured for railway signalling applications. It is also applicable, so far as reasonably practicable, to general-purpose or industrial equipment (e.g. power supplies, display screens or other commercial off the shelf items), which is procured for use as part of a safety-related electronic system. This document is aimed at railway duty holders, railway suppliers, and assessors as well as at safety authorities, although it does not define an approval process to be applied by the safety authorities. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) a better alignment with the life cycle phases defined in IEC 62278-1 has been made;
b) Clause 5 describes the requirements that apply to the development of safety-related electronic systems (until phase 9 of the life cycle);
c) Clause 8 focuses on the requirements for safety acceptance and approval of safety-related electronic systems and subsequent phases;
d) requirements and guidance have been added in Clause 6 on the following topics:
- reuse of pre-existing systems,
- safety-related tools,
- impact of cybersecurity threats on functional safety,
- specific application safety cases;
e) requirements for the structure and content of the safety case are now defined in a dedicated Clause 7;
f) Annex A has been updated for the specification and allocation of safety integrity requirements;
g) the content of former Annex D has been merged with Annex B, and the content has been changed from informative to normative;
h) the status of Annex E has been changed from informative to normative;
i) an Annex F has been added as an informative annex on User Programmable Integrated Circuits.

IEC 62290-2:2025 specifies the functional requirements of UGTMS (urban guided transport management and command/control systems) for use in urban guided passenger transport lines and networks. This document is applicable for new lines or for upgrading existing signalling and command control systems.
The IEC 62290 series specifies the functional, system and interface requirements for the command, control, and management systems intended to be used on urban, guided passenger transport lines and networks.
These systems are designated herein as urban guided transport management and command/control systems (UGTMS). UGTMS cover a wide range of operations needs from non-automated (GOA1) to unattended (GOA4) operation. A line may be equipped with UGTMS on its full length or only partly equipped.
The IEC 62290 series does not specifically address security issues. However, aspects of safety requirements may apply to ensuring security within the urban guided transit system.
The main objectives of this series are as follows:
* to provide a baseline system description and functional requirements specification for a transport authority to use in a request for proposal,
* to provide recommendations for those transport authorities wishing to acquire an interoperable or interchangeable system.
It is the responsibility of the transport authority concerned to decide on how to apply the IEC 62290 series and to take into account their particular needs.
This document is applicable to applications using
* continuous data transmission,
* continuous supervision of train movements by train protection profile, and
* localisation of trains by onboard UGTMS equipment (reporting trains), and optionally by external wayside (and optionally onboard) device.
In this document, the functional requirements set the framework to which detailed functions are added to define any generic or specific application.
Because of that, although this document is applicable as a basis to define SRS, FIS and FFFIS, elements can be added for a generic or specific application.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2014. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the functions 5.1.4.5 Stopping a train en route, 5.1.5.4 Monitor speed limit at discrete location, 5.5.5 Manage UGTMS transfer tracks, 5.6.4.1 Monitor passenger emergency calls and 6.2.4 Ensure connecting services have been deleted;
b) the functions 5.5.11 Manage train washing, 5.5.12 Manage non-stopping areas and 6.3.4 Perform progressive shutdown have been added;
c) many of the requirements have been reworded: changes in their wording could be only minor and editorial, or it could have technical consequences;
d) some requirements of the second edition have been moved from one function/subfunction to another;
e) some requirements have been deleted;
f) some new requirements have been added in the existing functions;
g) an informative annex giving the reader some user’s recommendations about this document has been added;
h) another informative annex giving some typical performance-related criteria has been also added.
i) an informative annex providing a summary of applicability of functions and subfunctions (mandatory or optional) depending on GOA has been added.
In order to avoid any disturbance in the use of the document, when functions or requirements of IEC 62290‑2:2014 have been deleted, their numberings have been kept on purpose in this document. The expression "Deleted" is indicated at the place of the former headlines of the deleted functions, or at the place of the wording of the deleted requirements. Therefore, the impacts on any existing references or traceability matrices defined previously to this third edition is limited as much as possible.
