Railway applications - Design for PRM Use - Requirements on obstacle free routes for infrastructure
This document describes the specific ‘Design for PRM use’ requirements applying to infrastructure and the assessment of those requirements. The following applies to this document:
— The definitions and requirements describe specific aspects of ‘Design for PRM use’ required by persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility as defined in the PRM TSI.
— This document defines elements which are universally valid for obstacle-free travelling including toilets, elements for sitting, standing and moving and clearways and internal doors. The definitions and requirements of this document are to be used for infrastructure applications.
— This document only refers to aspects of accessibility for PRM passengers; it does not define non-PRM related requirements and definitions.
— This document assumes that the infrastructure is in its defined operating condition.
— Where minimum or maximum dimensions are quoted these are absolute NOT nominal requirements.
This document contains requirements relating to 'Obstacle-free routes'.

Introduction
This document is part of a suite of four ‘Design for PRM use’ standards that have in total nine parts:
— EN 16584 is a standard that covers both infrastructure and rolling stock — Railway applications —
Design for PRM use - General requirements:
— Part 1: Contrast (EN 16584-1)
— Part 2: Information (EN 16584-2)
— Part 3: Optical and friction characteristics (EN 16584-3)
— EN 16585 is a standard that covers rolling stock - Railway applications - Design for PRM use -
Equipment and components onboard rolling stock:
— Part 1: Toilets (EN 16585-1)
— Part 2: Elements for sitting, standing and moving (EN 16585-2)
— Part 3: Clearways and internal doors (EN 16585-3)
— EN 16586 is a standard that covers Rolling stock — Railway applications — Design for PRM use -
Accessibility of persons with reduced mobility to rolling stock:
