Railway applications - Design for PRM Use - Accessibility of People with Reduced Mobility to rolling stock - Part 2: Boarding Aids
This European Standard describes the specific ‘Design for PRM Use’ requirements applying to rolling stock on the Trans-European Network (TEN) covered by the TSI for PRM and the assessment of those requirements. The following applies to this standard.
The definitions and requirements describe specific aspects of ‘Design for PRM Use’ required by people with reduced mobility as defined in TSI PRM.
This standard defines elements which are universally valid for obstacle free travelling including steps for access and egress and boarding aids. The definitions and requirements of this standard are used for rolling stock applications.
This part of the standard covers those requirements relating to ‘Boarding Aids’.
The standard only refers to aspects of accessibility for PRM passengers. It does not define general requirements and general definitions for specific components and systems.
This standard assumes that the vehicle is in the defined operating condition, any damages or operating failures will not be taken into account when assessing these requirements.
Where minimum or maximum dimensions are quoted these are absolute NOT nominal requirements.
The following areas of ‘Accessibility of People with Reduced Mobility to rolling stock’ are covered in 2 parts:
Part 1 contains
Steps for Access and Egress
Part 2 contains
Boarding aids
This standard describes these areas with clear and consistent terms and definitions. Measurement methods and/or assessment procedures needed to establish a clear pass/fail assessment are provided where necessary.

Note 2 to entry: In the context of steps for internal height changes (other than the external access/egress steps) this means the first usable step when ascending and the edge of the walking floor when descending. 3.7 gap distance between a platform and the closest point on the rolling stock at the passenger door where passengers traverse from one to the other (both vertical and horizontal) SIST EN 16586-2:2017

Where additional assessment criteria apply, these will be identified against the relevant clause 2) All dimensions are in millimetres (mm) unless otherwise stated. 3) For assessment the vehicle shall be in 'working order' (the design mass in working order as defined in EN 15663) with new wheels standing centrally on the rails. The assessment shall be completed for the vehicle on level track, for both a 300 m curve and straight track. 4) To provide PRM access: i. All exterior passenger doorways shall have a minimum clear usable width of 800 mm when open. — Assessment: the clear usable width shall be measured parallel to the door opening, there shall be no protrusions (for example door leading edge, grab-handles, handrails, wheelchair lifts in the stowed position) into the minimum width (the minimum width shall be 800 mm according to Figure 1). — Assessment: for wheelchair accessible doorways refer to EN 16585-3 for additional requirements. Dimensions in millimetres

On trains with a design speed lower than 250 km/h, wheelchair access doors offering a level access according to 5.2 (1) shall have a minimum clear usable width of 1 000 mm when open. — Assessment: the clear usable width shall be measured parallel to the door opening; there shall be no protrusions (for example door leading edge, grab-handles, handrails, wheelchair lifts in the stowed position) into the minimum width. (The minimum width shall be 1 000 mm according to Figure 1) NOTE The increased width is required where level access is provided as, without the presence of a boarding device, the wheelchair is not necessarily presented perpendicular or centred to the opening. Therefore a bigger opening is required to ensure that the wheelchair or the user’s hands etc are not trapped against, or strike, parts of the vehicle when boarding and alighting. 5.2 Boarding aids - General requirements 5.2.1 General At the designated wheelchair accessible doorways access between the train and the platform, to allow a passenger in a wheelchair to board or alight, shall be provided according to either point 1 or point 2 below. 1) Level access is provided when the gap between the door sill of that doorway (or of the extended bridging plate of that doorway) and the platform does not exceed 75 mm measured horizontally and 50 mm measured vertically and the train has no internal step between the door sill and the vestibule. — Assessment: shall be according to Figure 2 for a train that is intended to stop in normal operation, at a station platform that has obstacle free access routes (in accordance with EN 16587) Dimensions in millimetres

See test method in section 6. 12)
The ramp shall be provided with self-contrasting markings. — Self-contrasting markings shall be according to EN 16584-1. 5.3.2 On-board ramp – additional requirements 1) A ramp shall be either positioned manually by staff or deployed semi-automatically by mechanical means, operated by staff or by the passenger. — Assessment of manual positioning shall be demonstrated by compliance with 5.3.1 (1).
