This document specifies requirements for the protective provisions relating to electrical safety in fixed installations associated with AC and/or DC traction systems and to any installations that can be endangered by the electric traction power supply system. This also includes requirements applicable to vehicles on electrified lines. It also applies to all aspects of fixed installations which are necessary to ensure electrical safety during maintenance work within electric traction power supply systems.
This document applies to new electric traction power supply systems and major revisions to electric traction power supply systems for:
a) railways;
b) guided mass transport systems such as 1) tramways,
2) elevated and underground railways,
3) mountain railways,
4) trolleybus systems,
5) electric traction power supply systems for road vehicles, which use an overhead contact line system, and

structures) in so far as these are not supplied directly or via transformers from the contact line system and are not
endangered by the electric traction power supply system,
c) suspended cable cars,
d) funicular railways,
e) existing vehicles.
This document does not specify working rules for maintenance. The requirements within this document related to protection against electric shock are applicable to persons only.

This document specifies requirements for protective provisions against the effects of stray currents, which result from the operation of DC electric traction power supply systems.
As several decades' experience has not shown evident corrosion effects from AC electric traction power supply systems, this document only deals with stray currents flowing from a DC electric traction power supply system.
This document applies to all metallic fixed installations which form part of the traction system, and also to any other metallic components located in any position in the earth, which can carry stray currents resulting from the operation of the railway system.
This document applies to all new DC lines and to all major revisions to existing DC lines. The principles can also be applied to existing electrified transportation systems where it is necessary to consider the effects of stray currents.

a)   railways,
b)   guided mass transport systems such as:
1)   tramways,
2)   elevated and underground railways,

No change from existing scope of EN 50367:2020 + A1:2022
EN 50367 specifies requirements for the technical compatibility between pantographs and overhead contact lines, to achieve free access to the lines of the European railway network.

This document establishes the acceptance criteria according to EN 50388-1:2022, 10.2 for compatibility between traction units and power supply for known phenomena and known technologies. That is in relation to:
-   co-ordination between controlled elements and also between these elements and resonances in the electrical infrastructure in order to achieve network system stability;
-   co-ordination of harmonic behaviour with respect to excitation of electrical resonances.
The following electric traction systems are within the scope:
-   railways;
-   guided mass transport systems that are integrated with railways;
-   material transport systems that are integrated with railways.
Public three-phase networks are out of the scope, but networks which are dedicated to railways are included.
This document is applied in accordance with the requirements in EN 50388-1:2022, Clause 10. It does not apply retrospectively to rolling stock or railway power supply elements already in service.
It is the aim of this Part 2 to support acceptance of new elements (rolling stock or infrastructure) by specifying precise requirements and methods for demonstration of compliance. This document acts as “code of practice” quoted in EN 50388-1:2022, 10.2. However, it is still admissible to use the process as defined in EN 50388-1:2022, 10.3 instead.
This version of the standard only applies to AC systems. Later versions might include similar effects in DC networks in addition, see Annex D.
The main phenomena identified and treated in this document are:
-   electrical resonance stability;
-   low frequency stability;
-   overvoltages caused by harmonics.
The interaction with signalling (including track circuits) is not dealt with in this document.

This document specifies requirements for the installation of cabling on railway vehicles and within electrical enclosures on railway vehicles, including magnetic levitation trains and trolley buses.
NOTE   With respect to trolley buses, this document applies to the whole electric traction system, including current collecting circuits, power converters and the respective control circuits. The installation of other circuits is covered by street vehicle standards for example those for combustion driven buses.
This document covers cabling for making electrical connections between items of electrical equipment, including cables, busbars, terminals and plug/socket devices. It does not cover special effect conductors like fibre optic cables or hollow conductors (waveguides).
The material selection criteria given here are applicable to cables with copper conductors.
This document is not applicable to the following:
-   special purpose vehicles, such as track-laying machines, ballast cleaners and personnel carriers;
-   vehicles used for entertainment on fairgrounds;
-   vehicles used in mining;
-   electric cars;
-   funicular railways.
As the field of cabling in rolling stock is also dealt with in the cable makers’ standard, references are made to EN 50264 series, EN 50306 series, EN 50382 series and EN 50355.
This document applies in conjunction with the relevant product and installation standards and describes minimum requirements.

This document specifies parameters for the design and usage of axle counter systems.
For this, this document specifies the technical parameters of axle counter systems associated with the magnetic field limits for RST in the context of interoperability. In addition, test methods are defined for establishing the conformity and the performance of an axle counter detector.
This document is intended to be used to assess compliance of axle counter systems and other forms of wheel sensors used for train detection, in the context of the European Directive on the interoperability of the trans-European railway system and the associated technical specification for interoperability relating to the control-command and signalling track-side subsystems.
This document can also be used for axle counter systems installed on lines which are not declared as interoperable (including metro and tram lines).
For wheel sensors and wheel detectors in other applications than axle counters but using the same sensors on the rail and detection circuits, transient and continuous interference can be considered as equivalent to axle counter detectors or axle counter sensors.
Under interoperability, the frequency bands and rolling stock emission limits are currently defined in the axle counter FrM as specified in the ERA/ERTMS/033281 document.

This document defines the measurement and evaluation methods of rolling stock interference current emissions to demonstrate compatibility with track circuits. This includes rolling stock with or without traction equipment. The established limits for compatibility are defined in ERA/ERTMS/033281, PD CLC/TS 50238-2 or NNTRs as current flowing between the vehicle and the electric traction power supply system that can disturb the track circuit receiver, as part of the track circuit system. Additionally, the referred documents can define a minimum rolling stock impedance in order to guarantee compatibility between the electric traction power supply system and track circuits.
This document is relevant to the interference current limits defined in the "frequency management" for track circuits as defined in ERA/ERTMS/033281. It is also applicable to the demonstration of compatibility with all other types of track circuits which have established compatibility according to EN 50617-1. Finally, the methodology defined in this document can also be applied to other track circuit types, including those for which the only requirements are defined in NNTRs.
NOTE 1   Interface parameters between rolling stock and track circuits other than interference currents and impedance are out of the scope of this document.
NOTE 2   For track circuits prone to wrong side failures additional precautions might be needed to mitigate safety risks. The necessary precautions and safety considerations are outside the scope of this document, but can be found in NNTRs.

This document specifies the technical parameters of track circuits associated with the interference current emissions limits for RST in the context of interoperability defined in the form of Frequency Management in ERA/ERTMS/033281 v4.0. The limits for compatibility between rolling stock and track circuits addressed in this document allow provision for known interference phenomena linked to traction power supply including associated protection (over voltage, short-circuit current and basic transient effects like in-rush current and power cut-off), and other known sources of interference. This document is intended to be used to assess compliance of track circuits and other forms of train detection systems using the rails as part of their detection principles, in the context of the European Directive on the interoperability of the trans-European railway system and the associated technical specification for interoperability relating to the control-command and signalling track-side subsystems. The document describes technical parameters to consider for achieving the compatibility of the track circuit with the emissions limits defined in the frequency management for rolling stock (ERA/ERTMS/033281 v4.0). These parameters are structured and allocated according to their basic references as follows: - technical track circuit parameters; - train based parameters; - track based parameters; - environmental and other parameters including EMC. Each parameter is defined by a short general description, the definition of the requirement, the relation to other standards and a procedure to show the fulfilment of the requirement as far as necessary. An overview of the safety relevance of each parameter is given - in the context of this document - in a separate table. This document is applicable to track circuits on all lines, including non-electrified lines. However, for track circuits intended to be installed only on non-electrified lines, some parameters can be disapplied.

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.

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.

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.

This document specifies requirements for the acceptance of simulation tools used for the assessment of design of electric traction power supply systems with respect to TSI Energy. This document is applicable to the simulation of AC and DC electric traction power supply systems, in the frame of assessment required by Directive (EU) 2016/797. The methods and parameters defined in this document are only intended for use in the design of the electric traction power supply system, and hence this document solely considers validation of tools within the TSI energy subsystem for all envisaged railway networks. This document does not deal with validation of simulation tools by measurement. This document focuses on the core simulation functions comprising the equations and functions which calculate the mechanical movement of trains and also which calculate the load flow of the electrical traction power supply system. In doing so this document provides all requirements necessary to demonstrate that a simulation tool may be used for the purposes of TSI approval of electric traction power supply systems. Any simulation tool which meets the acceptance requirements of the test cases in this document can be used to determine TSI compatibility for all systems of the same voltage and frequency without any requirement for further validation as part of the TSI assessment process. This document includes controls for the modification of simulation tools, in particular the limits of applicability of certification when tools are modified. These controls focus on determining whether the core functions of the simulation model are modified. This document provides only the requirements for demonstration of the algorithms and calculations of core functions. The use of a certified simulation tool in accordance with this document does not, in itself, demonstrate good practice in electric traction power supply system design, neither does it guarantee that the simulation models and data for infrastructure or trains used in the tool are correct for a given application. The choice and application of any models and data, of individual system components, in a design is therefore subject to additional verification processes and not in the Scope of this document. Competent development of design models and full understanding of the limits of design tools remain requirements in any system design. This document does not reduce any element of the need for competent designers to lead the design process. The test cases and data shown in Clause 6 in this document do not represent an existing network, but these data are used as theoretical/virtual network only for the purpose of verification of the core functionality. NOTE A new test case will be drafted considering metro, tramways and trolleybuses using DC 600 V or DC 750 V. Until this test case is available, this document can also be applied to subway, tram and trolley bus systems. This test case will also integrate rail systems using DC 750 V. Additionally, the application of this document ensures that the output data of different simulation tools are consistent when they are using the same set of input data listed in Clause 6. This document only applies to the simulation of electric traction power supply systems characteristics at their nominal frequency for AC or DC systems. It does not consider harmonic studies, electrical safety studies (e.g. rail potential), short circuit or electromagnetic compatibility studies over a wide frequency spectrum. This document does not mandate the use of a particular simulation tool in order to validate the design of an electric traction power supply system. This document does not consider complex models with active components such as static frequency convertors.

This document specifies requirements for the technical compatibility between pantographs and overhead contact lines, to achieve free access to the lines of the European railway network. NOTE These requirements are defined for a limited number of pantograph types conforming to the requirements in 5.3, together with the geometry and characteristics of compatible overhead contact lines.

This document establishes requirements for the electrical aspects to achieve technical compatibility between rolling stock and electric traction systems, limited to:
-   co-ordination of protection principles between power supply and traction units, i.e. separation sections, train set current or power limitation, short circuit current discrimination, breaker coordination and use of regenerative braking.
-   co-ordination of installed power on the line and the power demand of trains, i.e. traction unit power factor, train set current or power limitation, electric system performance, type and characterization.
-   compatibility assessment relating to harmonics and dynamic effects.
Informative values are given for some parts of the existing European railway networks, in annexes.
NOTE   For those railways within the scope of EU Interoperability Directive, definitive values are set out in the register of infrastructure published in accordance with Article 49 of Directive (EU) 2016/797, and the list of items included in the register is described in the commission decision (EU) 2019/777.
The following electric traction systems are within the scope of this document:
-   railways;
-   guided mass transport systems that are integrated with railways;
-   material transport systems that are integrated with railways.
Information is given on electrification parameters to enable train operating companies to confirm, after consultation with the rolling stock manufacturers, that risks of non-compatibility are minimized and that there will be no consequential disturbance on the electrification system.
The interaction between pantograph and overhead contact line is dealt with in EN 50367:2020.
The interaction with the control-command and signalling subsystem is not dealt with in this document.
Basic considerations have been included concerning the use of accumulator trains.

This document describes a process to demonstrate compatibility between Rolling Stock (RST) and Train Detection Systems (TDS). It describes the characterization of train detection systems, rolling stock and traction power supply systems. It is worth noting that the demonstration of technical compatibility between the rolling stock and infrastructure with respect to physical dimensions is not detailed in this document. This document is not generally applicable to those combinations of rolling stock, traction power supply and train detection system which were accepted as compatible prior to the issue of this document. However, as far as is reasonably practicable, this document can be applied to modifications of rolling stock, traction power supply or train detection systems which may affect compatibility. The detailed process can be used where no rules and processes for compatibility are established.
