non PRM related requirements and definitions.
— This standard assumes that the infrastructure or rolling stock is in its defined operating
condition.
— Where minimum or maximum dimensions are quoted these are absolute NOT nominal
requirements.
The ‘General requirements’ standard is written in three parts:
— This document is Part 1 and contains
— contrast;
— Part 2 contains
— spoken information;
— written information;
— tactile information;
— pictograms;
— Part 3 contains
— lighting;
