1.1 This document specifies the process and technical requirements for the development of software
for programmable electronic systems for use in:
— control, command for signalling applications,
— applications on-board of rolling stock.
This document is not intended to be applied in the area of electric traction power supply (fixed
installations) or for power supply and control of conventional applications, e.g. station power supply
for offices, shops. These applications are typically covered by standards for energy distribution and/or
non-railway sectors and/or local legal frameworks.
1.2 This document is applicable exclusively to software and the interaction between software and the
system of which it is part.
1.3 Intentionally left blank
1.4 This document applies to software as per subclause 1.1 of this document used in railway systems,
including:
— application programming,
— operating systems,
— support tools,
— firmware.
Application programming comprises high level programming, low level programming and special
purpose programming (for example: programmable logic controller ladder logic).
1.5 This document also addresses the use of pre-existing software (as defined in 3.1.16) and tools.
Such software can be used if the specific requirements in 7.3.4.7 and 6.5.4.16 on pre-existing
software and for tools in 6.7 are fulfilled.
1.6 Intentionally left blank
1.7 This document considers that modern application design often makes use of software that is
suitable as a basis for various applications. Such software is then configured by application data for
producing the executable software for the application.
1.8 Intentionally left blank
1.9 This document is not intended to be retrospective. It therefore applies primarily to new
developments and only applies in its entirety to existing systems if these are subjected to major
modifications. For minor changes, only 9.2 applies. However, application of this document during
upgrades and maintenance of existing software is advisable.
1.10 For the development of User Programmable Integrated Circuits (e.g. field programmable gate
arrays (FPGA) and complex programmable logic devices (CPLD)) guidance is provided in
EN 50129:2018 Annex F for safety related functions and in EN 50155:2017 for non-safety related
functions. Software running on softcore processors of User Programmable Integrated Circuits is within
the scope of this document.

The aim of this document is to define a design assessment procedure of a forged and rolled monobloc wheel (RST). This assessment is carried out before the wheel is commissioned. This document describes, in particular, the assessment to be performed in order to use wheels on a European network which, in addition, have quality requirements in conformity with those defined in EN 13262.
This assessment requires that the conditions of use for the wheel are defined and this standard provides a method for defining those conditions.
The assessment of the design covers four aspects:
- a geometrical aspect: to allow interchangeability of different solutions for the same application;
- a thermomechanical aspect: to manage wheel deformations and to ensure that braking will not cause wheels to fracture;
- a mechanical aspect: to ensure that no fatigue cracks occur in the wheel web and that no permanent deformation occurs under exceptional loading;
- an acoustic aspect: to ensure that the solution chosen is as good as the reference wheel.
This document does not cover assessment of the hub or of the rim.
This document has been drawn up for wheels of non-powered tread-braked wheelsets and applies in full to this type of wheel. For wheels on which disc brakes are mounted or toothed transmission wheels or even wheels with noise reduction devices, the requirements may be amended or supplemented.
For urban railway vehicles, other standards or documents may be used.

This document provides to the railway operators, system integrators and product suppliers, with guidance and specifications on how cybersecurity will be managed in the context of the EN 50126-1 RAMS lifecycle process. This document aims at the implementation of a consistent approach to the management of the security of the railway systems. This document can also be applied to the security assurance of systems and components/equipment developed independently of EN 50126.
This document applies to Communications, Signalling and Processing domain, to Rolling Stock and to Fixed Installations domains. It provides references to models and concepts from which requirements and recommendations can be derived and that are suitable to ensure that the residual risk from security threats is identified, supervised and managed to an acceptable level by the railway system duty holder. It presents the underlying security assumptions in a structured manner.
This document does not address functional safety requirements for railway systems but rather additional requirements arising from threats and related security vulnerabilities and for which specific measures and activities need to be taken and managed throughout the lifecycle. The aim of this technical specification is to ensure that the RAMS characteristics of railway systems / subsystems / equipment cannot be reduced, lost or compromised in the case of intentional attacks.
The security models, the concepts and the risk assessment process described in this document are based on or derived from IEC 62443 series standards. In particular, this document is consistent with the application of security management requirements contained within the IEC 62443-2-1 and which are based on EN ISO 27001 and EN ISO 27002

— establishes the design process for switches and crossings (S&C), and the use of the other parts of this standard;
— specifies the geometric design principles for wheel guidance;
— establishes the basic limits of supply;
— establishes the applied forces and their adequate support;
— specifies tolerance levels.
These are illustrated herein by application to a turnout. The main switch and crossing components are represented in turnouts and the principles used in turnouts apply equally to more complex layouts.

The scope of this part is:
- to describe the design process of switches and crossings, and the use of the other parts of this standard;
- to define the main criteria to be taken into account during the design of the layout, including the safety and functional dimensions as well as geometrical and material aspects;
- to define the main criteria to be verified during the design approval;
- to define the geometrical and non-geometrical acceptance criteria for inspection of layouts assembled both in the fabrication plant and at track site in case of layouts that are delivered non or partially assembled or in a "kit" form;
- to determine the limits of supply;
- to define the minimum requirements for traceability.
This European Standard applies only to layouts that are assembled in the manufacturing plant or that are assembled for the first time at trackside.
Other aspects such as installation and maintenance also influence performance; these are not considered as part of this European Standard.

This document provides railway operators, system integrators and product suppliers, with guidance and specifications on how cybersecurity will be managed in the context of EN 50126 1 RAMS lifecycle process. This document aims at the implementation of a consistent approach to the management of the security of the railway systems. This document can also be applied to the security assurance of systems and components/equipment developed independently of EN 50126 1:2017. This document applies to Communications, Signalling and Processing domain, to Rolling Stock and to Fixed Installations domains. It provides references to models and concepts from which requirements and recommendations can be derived and that are suitable to ensure that the residual risk from security threats is identified, supervised and managed to an acceptable level by the railway system duty holder. It presents the underlying security assumptions in a structured manner. This document does not address functional safety requirements for railway systems but rather additional requirements arising from threats and related security vulnerabilities and for which specific measures and activities need to be taken and managed throughout the lifecycle. The aim of this document is to ensure that the RAMS characteristics of railway systems / subsystems / equipment cannot be reduced, lost or compromised in the case of cyber attacks. The security models, the concepts and the risk assessment process described in this document are based on or derived from the IEC/EN IEC 62443 series. This document is consistent with the application of security management requirements contained within IEC 62443 2 1, which in turn are based on EN ISO/IEC 27001 and EN ISO 27002.
