M/483 - Rail System

This document is applicable to safety-related electronic systems (including subsystems and equipment) for railway signalling applications.
This document applies to generic systems (i.e. generic products or systems defining a class of applications), as well as to systems for specific applications.
The scope of this document and its relationship with other CENELEC standards are shown in Figure 1.
This document is applicable only to the functional safety of systems. It does not deal with other aspects of safety such as occupational health and safety of personnel or potential threats created by the technology regardless of their intended functions (e.g. presence of sharp edges, presence of electric voltage, presence of combustible material). Cybersecurity aspects of functional safety are addressed only to the extent consistent with the application of the relevant standards, where needed.
This document applies to all the phases of the life cycle of a safety-related electronic system, focusing in particular on phases from 4 (specification of system requirements) to 10 (system acceptance) as defined in EN 50126 1:2017.
Requirements for systems which are not related to safety are outside the scope of this document.
This document is not necessarily applicable to systems, subsystems or equipment which had already been accepted prior to the date of withdrawal (dow) of the standards conflicting with this document. However, so far as reasonably practicable, it is applicable to modifications and extensions to such systems, subsystems and equipment.
NOTE   In the case of partial modifications, it can happen that the system can no longer be declared compliant with a single version of the standard, meaning that the modified part will be compliant with the current version and the unmodified parts will be compliant with the previous version.
This document is primarily applicable to systems, subsystems or equipment which have been specifically designed and manufactured for railway signalling applications. It is also applicable, to the extent of 6.2, to general-purpose or industrial equipment (e.g. power supplies, display screens, or other commercial off the shelf items) which is procured for use as part of a safety-related electronic system.
This document is aimed at railway duty holders, railway suppliers, and assessors as well as at safety authorities, although it does not define an approval process to be applied by the safety authorities.

This document specifies requirements for fire detection, alarm systems, equipment shutdown, information and communication systems, emergency brake systems and fire fighting systems to cover the objectives specified in EN 45545-1:2013.
The measures and requirements specified in this document aim to protect passengers and staff in railway vehicles in the event of a fire on board by alerting staff and passengers to a fire, delaying the fire development and controlling the movement of smoke.
It is not within the scope of this document to describe measures that ensure the preservation of the railway vehicles in the event of a fire.

—   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:
—   this document is Part 1 and contains:
