Railway applications. Braking systems of multiple unit trains -- Test methods
This European Standard specifies test methods and acceptance criteria for a brake system for use in self propelling thermal and electric trains, in the following document called EMU/DMU, operating on routes of the European conventional rail system network.
This European Standard is applicable to:
all new vehicles designs of self-propelling thermal and electric trains;
all major overhauls of the EMU/DMU if they involve redesigning or extensive alteration to the brake system of the vehicle concerned.
This European Standard does not cover:
locomotive hauled trains which are specified by ENÂ 14198 ;
mass transit rolling stock which is specified by ENÂ 13452 (all parts);
high speed trains being operated at speeds greater than 200 km/h which are specified by EN 15734‑1 and tests in EN 15734‑2 .
The functional testing requirements set out in this European Standard assume the vehicles are fitted with brake system architecture as defined in EN 16185‑1 .
The braking performance obtained by applying the tests defined in this European Standard can be used to assess compliance with the required braking performance as defined in EN 16185‑1 .
