Overview

EN 15734-2:2010/prA1 is a CEN draft amendment to the European standard EN 15734-2:2010, titled Railway applications - Braking systems of high speed trains - Part 2: Test methods. The document is prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 and published in the three official CEN languages (English, French, German). This amendment (A1, January 2021) is currently submitted to CEN members for enquiry and, if approved, will modify the 2010 standard.

The core standard (Part 2) defines test methods for braking systems of high speed trains. The prA1 amendment does not add new test procedures but modifies the standard’s formal relationship to EU legislation.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Test methods applicable to braking systems used on high speed trains (EN 15734-2 forms the technical basis for how tests should be defined and performed).
• Document status: prA1 is a draft amendment distributed for review; it is not yet a finalized European Standard.
• Administrative changes introduced by prA1:
  • Removal of two sentences in the foreword that stated the document was prepared under a mandate from the European Commission and EFTA and that it supported essential requirements of EU Directive 2008/57/EC.
  • Deletion of Annex ZA (the informative annex that formerly described the relationship between the standard and EU interoperability/essential requirements).
• Standards context: Identified ICS codes include 45.040 (materials and components for railway engineering) and 45.060.01.

Applications

Who uses EN 15734-2 and its amendment:

• Rolling stock manufacturers and braking-system suppliers - for specifying and verifying braking-system tests during design and type approval processes.
• Test laboratories and R&D teams - to interpret and apply recognized test-method frameworks for high speed train brakes.
• Railway operators and maintenance organizations - to understand test method expectations for acceptance, overhaul and performance verification.
• Regulators and certification bodies - for assessing conformity and referencing standards during procurement or certification.

Practical value: the standard (and any amendments) provides a harmonized technical reference for consistent testing practice across European markets, improving safety, interoperability and comparability of braking-system test results.

Related standards

• EN 15734 (series) - other parts in the EN 15734 family address complementary topics for braking systems of high speed trains.
• CEN/TC 256 outputs - related railway application standards produced by the same technical committee.

Keywords: EN 15734-2, braking systems, high speed trains, test methods, CEN, amendment A1, Annex ZA, EU Directive 2008/57/EC.

This draft amendment is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 256.

This draft amendment A1, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN 15734-2:2010. If this draft becomes an
amendment, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for
inclusion of this amendment into the relevant national standard without any alteration.

This draft amendment was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.
