Overview

EN 17530:2022+A1:2024 is a CEN European standard that defines functional, performance and quality requirements for interior glazing in rail vehicles. It covers type testing, routine testing and inspection methods for glazing used in high-speed rail, heavy rail, urban rail (including metro and tram) applications. The standard applies to glazing materials (monolithic and laminated) but excludes very small items (surface < 0.02 m2), emergency device casings, non‑glazing materials and specialised safety glazing such as bullet‑proof or fire‑proof types.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope & exclusions: Interior glazing only; sizing/positioning, interface design and structural installation are outside scope. Special safety glazing types are not covered.
  • Glazing types defined: Monolithic glass, laminated glass, toughened glass and mirror panels are described with reference to product standards.
  • Dimensions & tolerances: Nominal thickness, width/length tolerances and flatness requirements reference EN 12150 and EN ISO 12543-5.
  • Visual & optical requirements: Appearance defect classification, visual inspection procedures, optical distortion and transmittance testing (where required by technical specification).
  • Mechanical performance: Impact resistance tests (hard object and optional soft body), fragmentation behaviour and fragmentation testing.
  • Durability / ageing: Tests for laminated glass resistance to UV, high temperature and humidity.
  • Testing regime:
    • Type tests for design validation (dimensions, appearance, optical, transmittance, hard/soft impact, fragmentation, ageing).
    • Routine tests during production (dimensions, appearance, optical distortion as applicable).
  • Marking, storage and edge finishing: Requirements for marking of panels, storage of finished glazing and edge finishing standards for both monolithic and laminated products.
  • Normative procedures & annexes: Includes test sample specifications and a summary of testing requirements.

Applications and who uses it

EN 17530 is used by:

  • Glazing manufacturers to design and validate interior glazing components for trains, trams and metros.
  • Vehicle designers and system integrators setting component specifications and procurement requirements.
  • Testing laboratories performing type and routine tests to demonstrate compliance.
  • Operators, maintenance and quality assurance teams ensuring delivered glazing meets optical, visual and mechanical standards. Typical applications include partition screens, draught screens, balustrade/banister infill panels, gangway glazing and display cover glazing inside rail vehicles.

Related standards

Key referenced standards include:

  • EN 12150-1 (toughened glass), EN ISO 12543-5 (laminated glass), EN 15152 (windscreens), EN 45545 (fire protection), ISO 3538 (optical test methods) and ISO 3917 (ageing/weathering tests).

4 Dimensions and tolerances
4.1 Monolithic glass
The nominal thicknesses and thickness tolerances for a single sheet of glass are those given in the relevant
product standards (see EN 12150-1:2015+A1:2019, Clause 4). The thickness of a pane shall be
determined as for the basic product.
