Railway applications - Gangway systems between vehicles - Part 1: Main applications

This document specifies the technical and safety requirements applicable to gangway systems used in heavy rail and urban rail vehicles that are designed to allow passengers or staff to move between adjacent vehicles.
It also specifies:
- the requirements for the safety for passengers and/or staff in the gangway while the train is running,
- the assessment methods as well as pass/fail criteria for gangways installed on vehicles.
NOTE Some requirements in this document may not be applicable for gangways designed for use by staff only.
This document is not intended to specify requirements for articulation systems which can be an integral part of gangway systems.
This document is not applicable for rubber tube gangways and interconnecting gangways for coaches travelling at speeds of up to 200 km/h on high-speed lines with tunnel sections. Information about these types of gangway systems are given in Annex A and Annex B.

Bahnanwendungen - Übergangssysteme zwischen Fahrzeugen - Teil 1: Hauptanwendungen

Dieses Dokument legt die technischen und sicherheitsrelevanten Anforderungen für Übergangssysteme fest, die in Vollbahnen und Fahrzeugen städtischer Schienenbahnen verwendet werden, um Fahrgästen oder Personal den Übergang zwischen angrenzenden Fahrzeugen zu ermöglichen.
Es legt auch Folgendes fest:
   die Anforderungen an die Sicherheit für Fahrgäste und/oder Personal im Übergang, während der Zug fährt;
   die Bewertungsverfahren sowie Abnahmekriterien für die am Fahrzeug installierten Übergangssysteme.
ANMERKUNG   Einige der Anforderungen in diesem Dokument sind möglicherweise nicht für Übergänge anwendbar, die für die ausschließliche Nutzung durch Personal vorgesehen sind.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht dafür vorgesehen, Anforderungen an Gelenksysteme festzulegen, die Bestandteil von Übergangssystemen sein können.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht für Wulstübergänge und Übergangseinrichtungen von Reisezugwagen anwendbar, die mit einer Geschwindigkeit von bis zu 200 km/h auf Hochgeschwindigkeitsstrecken mit Tunnelabschnitten fahren. Informationen zu diesen Arten von Übergangssystemen sind in Anhang A und Anhang B enthalten.
