Railway applications - Windscreens for trains
This document specifies the functional requirements for rail vehicle windscreens, including type testing, routine testing and inspection methods for high speed rail, heavy rail, light rail and metro applications.
This document is also applicable for tram vehicles.
For on-track machines (OTMs) when in transport mode (self-propelled or hauled) the requirements of this standard are applicable. OTMs in working configuration are outside the scope of this document.
Determination of the size, shape, orientation and position of windscreens is outside the scope of this document. These data form part of the windscreen technical specification.
This document applies to windscreens made of laminated glass, which is the most commonly used material but also to other materials, subject to the performance requirements being satisfied.
This document does not specify requirements for the interfaces between the windscreen and the vehicle. Accordingly this document does not address issues relating to: installation, structural integrity and crashworthiness.

Overview
EN 15152:2019/FprA1 - published by CEN - defines functional requirements, test procedures and inspection methods for windscreens for trains. The standard covers type testing, routine testing and inspection for windscreens used in high-speed rail, heavy rail, light rail, metro and tram vehicles. It also applies to on-track machines (OTMs) when in transport mode (self-propelled or hauled). The document addresses performance requirements for windscreens made of laminated glass and other materials provided they meet the specified performance criteria.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope limits
- Applies to functional and performance requirements only; excludes determination of windscreen size, shape, orientation and position (these belong to the windscreen technical specification).
- Does not cover interfaces between windscreen and vehicle - installation, structural integrity and crashworthiness are outside the standard.
- OTMs in working configuration are out of scope; transport-mode OTMs are included.
- Materials
- Primarily for laminated glass; other materials allowed if they satisfy performance requirements.
- Testing and inspection
- Type testing and routine testing procedures for optical, mechanical and impact performance.
- Visual inspection procedures for appearance defects (including amendment updates to inspection lighting conditions).
- Impact and projectile tests with specified procedures and acceptance criteria (amendment clarifies handling of measured velocities).
- Optical transmittance calculations for inclined windscreens, including use of an absorption constant (ν) in transmittance formulae and worked examples.
- Colour and optical specification
- Defines spectral integration limits for colour categories (white, red, yellow, green, blue) used in visual/optical evaluation.
Practical applications
- Ensures consistent, verifiable windscreen performance across vehicle types: high-speed trains, commuter rail, trams, metros, light rail and transport-mode OTMs.
- Used to set supplier technical requirements for windscreen procurement, test acceptance criteria during manufacturing and quality control inspections during maintenance or refurbishment.
- Supports vehicle designers, rail manufacturers and test laboratories in verifying optical clarity, impact resistance and routine production quality.
Who should use this standard
- Rolling stock OEMs and system integrators
- Windscreen and glazing manufacturers
- Railway test laboratories and certification bodies
- Maintenance organisations and fleet engineers
- Procurement teams specifying windscreen performance
Related standards
- Other CEN/TC 256 railway application standards and national adoption documents. Refer to project-specific technical specifications for windscreen geometry, mounting interfaces, structural and crashworthiness requirements (not covered by EN 15152).
