Railway applications - Ground based services - Water restocking equipment

This European Standard specifies the interface requirements for water restocking equipment, and the on board system to preserve the quality of the water supply. It is applicable to railway vehicles fitted with water taps for use in toilets, washing facilities, water dispensers and catering equipment and the railway infrastructure at designated servicing sites.
This European Standard is not applicable to filling railway vehicles with water for the purpose of engine cooling, steam heating or work equipment on on-track machines.

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Schnittstellenanforderungen für Einrichtungen zur Wasserbefüllung und dem fahrzeuginternen System, um die Qualität der Wasserversorgung aufrechtzuerhalten, fest. Sie gilt für Eisenbahnfahrzeuge, die mit einem Wasserhahn zur Verwendung in Toiletten, Wascheinrichtungen, Wasserspendern und in Küchenbereichen ausgestattet sind, sowie für bestimmte Servicestellen der Eisenbahninfrastruktur.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für die Befüllung von Eisenbahnfahrzeugen mit Wasser zur Motorkühlung, Beheizung mittels Dampf oder für Arbeitsgeräte von Gleisbaumaschinen.

Applications ferroviaires - Stations service - Equipement de remplissage en eau

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives aux connexions des équipements de remplissage en eau, et le système à bord pour préserver la qualité de l’alimentation en eau. Elle s’applique aux véhicules ferroviaires équipés de robinets d’eau pour une utilisation dans les toilettes, aux installations pour se laver, aux distributeurs d’eau et d’équipements de restauration, et aux infrastructures ferroviaires dans les lieux de maintenance choisis.
La présente norme ne s’applique pas au remplissage en eau des véhicules ferroviaires à des fins de refroidissement du moteur, de chauffage à vapeur ou à l’équipement d’exploitation des engins de chantier.

Overview

EN 16362:2013 - Railway applications - Ground based services - Water restocking equipment (CEN) defines the interface and on‑board requirements for water restocking equipment used at designated servicing sites. The standard covers the physical coupling, water quality measures and operational requirements for supplying water to railway vehicles fitted with taps for toilets, washrooms, water dispensers and catering equipment. It is explicitly not applicable to water used for engine cooling, steam heating or on‑track machine work equipment.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Water system performance (on vehicles)
    • Design for cold climates: normal operation with vehicle heating at external temperatures down to −20 °C; specified recovery after temporary cooling (see Annex C test). Lower minimums allowed if declared.
    • Materials and drinking‑water suitability: drinking water circuits must use materials compliant with EN 806‑2 (examples given).
    • Complete drainage capability: centralised or tank‑specific drainage must empty systems completely (minimum 1 l/s when level) and avoid trapped liquid.
  • Water filling coupling (interface)
    • Mandatory bayonet‑type coupling on each side/end; centreline max 1 600 mm above rail.
    • Inlet pipe diameter: 36 mm (matching bore) or alternative if filling time ≤ 4 min at 3 bar supply.
    • Coupling protection: shield to prevent contamination and allow drainage to avoid freezing (see Annex B).
  • Infrastructure (servicing site) requirements
    • Depot supply hose: flexible, match coupling, self‑draining and suitable for drinking water (EN 12502‑1, EN 806).
    • Performance: components shall withstand 6 bar and be capable of 150 l/min (practical minimums: 3 bar / 80 l/min).
    • Frost protection and backflow prevention: self‑draining hoses and trace heating permitted; devices to prevent back‑siphoning required.
  • Documentation, hygiene and maintenance
    • Instructions for on‑board staff and depot personnel covering hygiene, sterilisation regimes, maintenance and bacteriological monitoring (linked to Directive 98/83/EC).
  • Ancillary provisions
    • Annex A: water level indication options; Annex B: coupling cover example; Annex C: test procedure; Annex ZA: linkage to EU Directive 2008/57/EC.

Applications and users

EN 16362 is intended for:

  • Rolling stock designers and manufacturers specifying water supply interfaces and materials
  • Depot and infrastructure engineers installing or maintaining water restocking points
  • Fleet maintenance teams responsible for hygiene, drainage and freeze protection
  • Water supply companies and safety/compliance officers ensuring backflow protection and potable water standards
  • Operators and caterers using on‑board water services

Adoption of EN 16362 ensures interoperable water restocking equipment, consistent water filling coupling interfaces and documented procedures to preserve drinking water quality across European servicing sites.
