CEN/TC 256/WG 49 - Glazing

This document specifies the functional requirements for rail vehicle windscreens, including type testing, routine testing, and inspection methods for high speed rail, heavy rail, and urban rail vehicles, including metro and tram applications.
This document is also applicable for tram vehicles.
For on-track machines (OTMs) when in transport mode (self-propelled or hauled) the requirements of this standard are applicable. OTMs in working configuration are outside the scope of this document.
Determination of the size, shape, orientation and position of windscreens is outside the scope of this document. These data form part of the windscreen technical specification.
This document applies to windscreens made of laminated glass, which is the most commonly used material but also to other materials, subject to the performance requirements being satisfied.
This document does not specify requirements for the interfaces between the windscreen and the vehicle. Accordingly this document does not address issues relating to: installation, structural integrity and crashworthiness.

This document specifies the functional, performance, and quality requirements for the interior glazing of rail vehicles including type testing, routine testing, and inspection methods.
This document applies to all rail vehicles.
Determination of the size, shape, orientation and position of interior glazing is outside the scope of this document.
This document does not specify requirements for the interfaces between the interior glazing and the vehicle. Accordingly, this document does not address issues relating to installation and structural integrity.
This document does not apply to interior glazing with a surface less than 0,02 m2 and also emergency device casings (e.g. cover sheets for emergency hammers, passenger alarm systems, etc).
This document does not apply to materials other than glass.
For safety reasons, where the use of a specific type of glass is required, this shall be set out in the technical specification or defined in national rules.
