This draft European standard specifies requirements for the design and dimensions of the brake disc.
This draft European standard applies to discs mounted at the axle or drive-shaft of railway rolling stock by a cylindrical or conic tapered interference fit.
For each discrete unit so fitted, one or more disc brake rings, each having two axially separated friction faces, may be deployed.

This European Standard describes general algorithms for the brake performance calculations to be used for all types of train sets, units or single vehicles, including high speed, locomotive and passenger coaches, conventional vehicles and wagons.
This European Standard does not specify the performance requirements. It enables the estimation and/or comparison by calculation of the various aspects of the performance: stopping or slowing distances, dissipated energy, power, force calculations and immobilization braking.
If it is required to validate, verify or assess braking performance it is recommended that a more detailed calculation is performed in accordance with EN 14531-2, i.e. a step by step calculation.
This European Standard contains generic examples of the calculation of brake forces for individual brake equipment types and calculation of stopping distance and immobilization braking relevant to a train (see Annexes C and D).

This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design, dimensions, performance and testing of single/double brake indicators. It applies to pneumatically and electrically operating brake indicators visible from the outside of the vehicle.
NOTE 1   Brake indicators are for giving precise and accurate information about release and application of the brake.
This European Standard applies to brake indicators on railway vehicles used on the main national networks, urban networks, underground railways, trams and private networks (regional railways, company railways etc.).
NOTE 2   This document does not apply to brake indicator for magnetic track brake or eddy current brake.

This European Standard is applicable to manually operated end cocks designed to cut-off the brake pipe and the main reservoir pipe of the air brake and compressed air system of rail vehicles; without taking the type of vehicles and track-gauge into consideration. This European Standard specifies requirements for the design, dimensions, testing and certification (qualification and/or homologation), and marking.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for the rescue coupler for train sets compliant with the Technical Specification for Interoperability High Speed Rolling Stock. It defines the interfaces to which it has to match during rescue operations. It is suitable for locomotives fitted with UIC 520 pattern draw gear and buffers, i.e. moveable draw hook and draw gear capable of compressive loading. Provisions going beyond the scope of this European Standard need to be agreed upon by the contracting parties involved.

This standard defines basic requirements for the braking of passenger coaches in trains hauled by
locomotives as described in EN 14198, using UIC air brakes (RIC traffic) operating on routes of the European
railways and their infrastructure systems.
This standard covers:
.all new vehicle designs of the passenger coach type of construction (day coaches, restaurant cars,
sleeper coaches, driving trailers, baggage cars, etc.);
.all new constructions of existing vehicle types;
.other vehicles (e.g. motorail vehicles) that may also be included in passenger trains;
.all major overhauls of the above-mentioned vehicles if they involve redesigning or extensive alteration to
the brake system of the vehicle concerned.
The vehicles meet the following technical criteria:
.inclusion in trains in accordance with EN 14198 in regular railway operation is possible (coupling
capacity);
.the maximum speed is between 100 km/h and 200 km/h;
.the lower vehicle limitations of UIC 505-1 (WIs 00256150/151/152) are adhered to.
