Railway applications - Braking - Functional and performance criteria of Magnetic Track Brake systems for use in railway rolling stock
This European Standard specifies the functionality, position, constraints and control of a magnetic track brake system (MTB system) installed in bogies for use in emergency braking and in low adhesion conditions on Mainline Trains up to speeds of 280 km/h. It covers high suspension types of MTB only and not high/low and low suspension type of MTB.
This document also contains test methods and acceptance criteria for an MTB system. It identifies interfaces with electrical equipment, bogie, track and other brake systems.
On the basis of the existing international and national standards, additional requirements are defined for:
- conditions of application for the MTB system;
- retardation and brake forces;
- functional and design features;
- strength requirements;
- type, series and vehicle implementation tests.
For design and calculation a "reference surface" is established.

Overview
EN 16207:2014/prA1 specifies functional and performance criteria for Magnetic Track Brake (MTB) systems installed in bogies for emergency braking and operation in low adhesion conditions on mainline trains up to 280 km/h. The standard applies to high suspension types of MTB only and excludes high/low and low suspension types. It describes required functionality, position, constraints and control, and provides test methods and acceptance criteria. A reference surface for design and calculation is established to support consistent evaluation.
Why this matters: conformity to EN 16207 helps manufacturers and integrators ensure predictable MTB performance, clear vehicle interfaces, and consistent test evidence for vehicle implementation and certification.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: high suspension MTB systems for mainline rolling stock (<= 280 km/h); emergency braking and low adhesion use cases.
- Functional requirements: system control, positioning constraints, and operational roles when combined with other brake systems.
- Performance criteria: retardation and brake forces required under defined conditions of application.
- Design and strength: functional and design features, mechanical strength requirements and durability considerations.
- Testing and acceptance: type, series and vehicle implementation tests together with acceptance criteria and test methods.
- Interfaces: electrical equipment, bogie integration, track interaction and interaction with other braking systems.
- Reference surface: a defined datum for design calculations and performance verification.
Applications
This standard is intended for:
- Rolling stock designers specifying MTB systems for emergency and degraded adhesion scenarios.
- Bogie manufacturers integrating high suspension MTB hardware and mounting arrangements.
- Brake system integrators verifying interaction with service brakes and train control systems.
- Test laboratories executing type, series and vehicle implementation tests and applying acceptance criteria.
Benefits and practical value:
- Provides a common technical basis to evaluate MTB safety and performance across fleets.
- Reduces integration risk by defining electrical, mechanical and track interfaces.
- Supports certification and interoperability by aligning test methods and acceptance rules.
Related Standards
- Normative reference updates in the amendment replace prEN 14531-2 with EN 14531-2 and update vehicle test references, replacing UIC 544-1:2004 (2.5.2) with EN 16834:2018 (8.7).
- Annex ZA maps EN 16207 clauses to the EU Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSI) and Directive 2008/57/EC, providing a route to demonstrate conformity for locomotives and passenger rolling stock.
For manufacturers and engineers, EN 16207:2014/prA1 is a practical standard to specify, test and validate high-suspension magnetic track brake systems and to ensure safe, repeatable performance in emergency and low-adhesion conditions.
