SIST EN 16585-2:2017



EN 16585-2:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard describes the specific ‘Design for PRM use’ requirements applying to rolling stock 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 persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility as defined in the PRM TSI; — this standard defines elements which are universally valid for obstacle free travelling including toilets, elements for sitting, standing and moving and clearways and internal doors. The definitions and requirements of this standard are to be used for rolling stock applications; — this standard only refers to aspects of accessibility for PRM passengers. It does not define general requirements and general definitions; — this standard assumes that the rolling stock is in its defined operating condition; — where minimum or maximum dimensions are quoted these are absolute NOT nominal requirements. The 'Equipment and components' standard is written in three parts: — Part 1 contains: — toilets; — this document is Part 2 and contains: — handholds; — seats; — wheelchair spaces; — Part 3 contains: — clearways; — internal doors. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

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 3.3 fixed longitudinal seat passenger seat which are installed along the body side (not foldable or intended to tip up) facing perpendicular to the direction of travel 3.4 gangway means for passengers to pass from one vehicle of a train to the adjacent vehicle and includes the inter-vehicle connection device and any aisle (e.g. between body end cupboards, cabinets or toilets) immediately adjacent to the device Note 1 to entry: This definition is intentionally different from EN 16286–1. 3.5 inter-vehicle gangway articulating device allowing transit between vehicles (provided for passenger use) 3.6 handhold discontinuous element designed to be gripped or held in order to aid personal stability 3.7 handrail continuous element with round cross section for passengers to use to aid personal stability by gripping around SIST EN 16585-2:2017



EN 16585-2:2017 (E) 7 3.8 last step final step for an ascending passenger to use to overcome a height change, forming the edge of the walking floor 3.9 palm operable operable by the palm or any part of the hand, not requiring fingers to be unclenched Note 1 to entry: The design need is that passengers with painful conditions, which affect their joints such as arthritis, may be unable to (and are likely to experience discomfort or pain if they do) exert any force with the tip of a single finger. Many will not be able to unclench their fingers to do this or perform any pulling action. 3.10 priority seat passenger seat with specific requirements designated for priority use by PRM 3.11 sharp edge thin edge capable of cutting or an abrupt end or discontinuity of a surface which has the potential to injure a passenger in normal use 3.12 usable width unobstructed width of an open door or passageway allowing passengers to pass through 3.13 wheelchair wheeled personal mobility device Note 1 to entry:
Wheelchair characteristics are defined in EN 16585–1:2017, Annex A. 3.14 wheelchair accessible doorway closest doorway to the wheelchair space (and wheelchair accessible sleeping accommodation, where fitted) 3.15 wheelchair space designated space in the passenger compartment for the wheelchair users and their wheelchairs Note 1 to entry: Space can be designed for two wheelchairs, one beside the other (dual) 4 Symbols and abbreviations Table 1 —Abbreviations Abbreviation Designation EN European Standard (Euronorm) PRM Persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility TSI Technical Specification for Interoperability and persons with reduced mobility SIST EN 16585-2:2017

For assessment the number of seats includes all types of seats except those tip-up seats in the vestibule and regulated wheelchair spaces. Wheelchair spaces, standing supports and all other equipment where the user is not intended to sit down completely, are not considered as seats. Where 10 % of the total number of priority seats does not produce a whole number the number of seats required shall be rounded up. SIST EN 16585-2:2017



EN 16585-2:2017 (E) 11 NOTE 1 For example, if the total number of seats in a vehicle is 61 to 70 then 7 of these seats will be priority seats. 2) The priority seats and vehicles containing them shall be identified by signs complying with EN 16584-2. — for the vehicle interior, the signs shall be located on or near to a priority seat in a way that a passenger is able to identify this seat as a priority seat at all times; — for the vehicle exterior, the signs shall be located on the exterior of the vehicle at each external passenger door which is in close proximity to priority seats; — the signs shall be visible when the door is in the open and closed positions. (see Figure 3); Dimensions in millimetres
Figure 3 — Sign location zone on exterior of vehicle — the signs located on or near to a priority seat shall include text to state that other passengers shall make such seats available to those who are eligible to use them; — text shall be in accordance with EN 16584-2; — for vehicles with single leaf end doors the sign should be placed within 2 m of the edge of the open door leaf on the same vehicle. 3) The priority seats: — shall be located within the passenger saloon and in close proximity to external doors; Ideally, these are to be equally distributed throughout the train. — for a vehicle, with designated priority seats, with a single external door the priority seats shall be within the first 30 % of the fixed seats arrived at from the external door; SIST EN 16585-2:2017



EN 16585-2:2017 (E) 12 — for a vehicle, with designated priority seats, with multiple external doors the priority seats shall be within the first 15 % of fixed seats, in each possible direction from each external door (only where there are more than eight seats fitted); — in addition to the requirements above, where there is an area with another class of seating within a vehicle (for example 1st class) the proportionate number of priority seats for that class shall be within the first 30 % of the fixed seats arrived at when entering that area (if entry to the area is possible from multiple directions then 15 % from each direction); — in double deck vehicles, units
or trainsets, priority seats can be present on any deck. NOTE 2 Passage to priority seats should involve as little height change as possible, preferably on the same level as the entrance. 4) The level of equipment fitted to the priority seat shall, as a minimum, be the same as that fitted to the general seats of the same type. — “Type” in this context is understood as, for example, first class or second class seat, in a row or face to face. — When, for example, second class seats in a row are fitted with a tray and a magazine holder, then second class priority seats in a row shall also be fitted with a tray and a magazine holder. 5) When seats are fitted with armrests, priority seats of the same type: — shall be fitted with movable armrests: — “Type” in this context is understood as, for example, first class or second class seat, in a row or face to face — This excludes armrests placed along the vehicle bodyside or along a partition wall in the case of compartments. — The required force to move an armrest out of the way should be less than 60 N but it is recommended that it should be approximately 25 N. — The movable armrest shall move into a position in line with the seat back cushion to enable unrestricted access to the seat or to any adjacent priority seats. — When assessing the position that the armrest is required to move to, ensure that the armrest is not protruding from the seatback cushion but is in line with or behind the line of the cushion. Where the armrest is designed to be in line with the cushion and follow its profile a tolerance of 10 mm to that profile is permitted due to the characteristics of the foam and material variance. 6) Priority seats shall not be tip-up seats. — Tip-up in this context includes foldable seats where a continuous action is required by a passenger in order for the seat to be maintained in the usable position (other than moving the armrest or table or reclining for access). 7) Each priority seat and the space available to its user.

EN 16585-2:2017 (E) 13 — shall comply with the diagrams shown in Annex A. — Cross sectional views (longitudinal for transverse seating and transverse for longitudinal seating) shall be taken through the centre line of the seat. — When reclining seats are fitted, the dimensions shall be measured when the seat is in its fully upright position. NOTE 3 Consideration should be given to provide adequate space under or adjacent to, at least one of the priority seats for a guide dog in each vehicle where priority seats are provided. 8) The whole usable sitting surface of the priority seat shall be a minimum of 450 mm wide (see Annex A). — In the case of a seat fitted with armrests the assessed width shall be between the armrests of the seat and shall be a minimum of 450 mm. — If a reclining control is located in the armrest, the protrusion of such control shall not be taken into account for seat width measurement. — Where a seat is not fitted with an armrest the assessed width shall be measured between lateral edges of the seat cushion with the cushion in its uncompressed state. — If a single cushion provides more than one seat, then each seat is considered to have an equal proportion of the space between the lateral edges of the total cushion (e.g. on a 850 mm wide cushion for two persons, it is not permissible to state that one seat has a nominal 450 mm width so that it can be designated as a priority seat). 9) The top of each priority seat cushion shall be between 430 mm and 500 mm above floor level at the front edge of the seat. — Shall be measured from the floor covering level to the top surface of the cushion. — Measurement shall be taken through the centre line of the seat (longitudinal), with the cushion in its uncompressed state. 10) The clear headroom above each seat shall be at least 1 680 mm from floor level (see Annex A). — On double-decker trains where luggage racks are provided above the seats a reduced headroom of 1 520 mm is permitted for priority seats underneath the luggage racks, provided that at least 50 % of priority seats maintain a headroom of 1 680 mm. — In Annex A the cross sectional views shown are taken through the centre line of the seat. See Annex A. 11) When reclining seats are fitted, the dimensions shall be measured when the seat is in its fully upright position. 5.2.2.2 Uni-directional seats 1) Where uni-directional priority seats are provided, the clearance in front of each seat shall comply with Figure A.2. SIST EN 16585-2:2017



EN 16585-2:2017 (E) 14 — Measurement shall be taken through the centre line of the seat (longitudinal), with the cushion in its uncompressed state. 2) The distance between the front surface of the seat back and the vertical plane through the rearmost part of the seat in front shall be a minimum of 680 mm, noting that the required seat pitch shall be measured from the centre of the seat 70 mm above where the cushion meets the back support. — Measurement shall be taken through the centre line of the seat, the seat cushion and the seat back cushion shall be in their uncompressed state. 3) There shall also be a clear space between the front edge of the seat cushion and the same vertical plane for the seat in front of a minimum of 230 mm. — Measurement shall be taken through the centre line of the seat, the seat cushions shall be in their uncompressed state. 5.2.2.3 Facing seats arrangement 1) Where facing priority seats are provided, — the distance between the front edges of the seat cushions shall be a minimum of 600 mm (See Figure A.3). — Such distance shall be maintained even if one of the facing seats is not a priority seat. — Measurements (longitudinal for transverse seating and transverse for longitudinal seating) shall be taken through the centre line of the seat, the cushion shall be in its uncompressed state. 2) Where facing priority seats are equipped with a table, there shall be a minimum clear horizontal distance between the front edge of the seat cushion and the leading edge of the table of at least 230 mm (See Figure A.4). — When one of the facing seats is not a priority seat, its distance to the table can be reduced provided that the distance between the front edges of the seat cushions remains 600 mm. — Sidewall mounted tables whose length does not extend over the centre line of the window seat do not need to be considered for conformity with this paragraph. (See Figure A.4). — Measurement shall be taken through the centre line of the seat (longitudinal), with the cushion in its uncompressed state. 5.3 Wheelchair spaces 1) According to the length of the unit, excluding the locomotive or power head, there shall be in that unit not less than the number of wheelchair spaces shown in Table 3.

This space shall be designed for the wheelchair to be positioned against the structure or other acceptable fitting required by 5.3 6). NOTE 1 This may result in the wheelchair being either facing or back to the direction of travel. NOTE 2 Compliance with other requirements in this standard and EN 16584–2 (for example visibility of passenger information system, manoeuvring space and reach to call for aid device) is only assessed with the wheelchair user in this orientation. 3) The wheelchair space shall: — accommodate a wheelchair and occupant with dimensions as described in EN 16585-1:2017, Annex B; — over its full length of 1 300 mm have a width of 700 mm from floor level to a minimum height of 1 450 mm. See Figure 4; — there shall be an additional 50 mm width either side to give clearance for hands, from a height of 400 mm to 800 mm above floor level. See Figure B.4. The additional 50 mm should be adjacent to any obstacle that will inhibit clearance for the wheelchair users hands (e.g. wall or structure). If one side of the wheelchair is adjacent to the aisle there is no additional 50 mm requirement for that side of the wheelchair, as it is already free space. SIST EN 16585-2:2017
