4 General
4.1 Description of vacuum
Vacuum can be expressed in different manners. Absolute vacuum is 0 bar and atmospheric pressure is
nominally 1 bar (although this varies). When a vacuum pump evacuates 0,2 bar from a tank the
remaining pressure within the tank is 0,8 bar (if the atmospheric pressure is 1 bar), but this can be
expressed in a variety of ways. Therefore to avoid doubt, because the atmospheric pressure varies,
throughout this standard vacuum is expressed as a negative number of bars below atmosphere (i.e. in
the above example this is expressed within this standard as −0,2 bar).Positive pressure is expressed as bars above atmosphere, i.e. in this standard an absolute pressure of
3 bar is shown as +2 bar.4.2 Description of controlled emission toilet systems
There are five generic types of controlled emission toilets fitted to railway vehicles considered in this
standard, shown diagrammatically in Annex A.5 Requirements
5.1 General requirements
Each vehicle and servicing point shall be clearly marked with the type of system that is fitted, or
intended to be used for. Adjacent to the connection on the vehicle and infrastructure the background, or
if there is no background, an area beside the connection with a minimum dimension 60 mm x 60 mm,
shall be coloured as shown in Table 1 and marked with the wording shown in Table 1 in the native
language of the servicing point or the home depot of the vehicle and also at least in English. The labels
shall be in a contrasting colour to the background colour.Table 1 — Identification of toilet system

5.2 Vehicle requirements5.2.1 Connections
Except for vehicles fitted with on board waste treatment system each vehicle with toilet waste or
catering area sink waste retention tank shall be fitted with a connection as shown in Figure 2 on each
side of vehicle. Vehicles fitted with on board waste treatment system are permitted to have the 3”
connection on one side, but it is preferable to have on both sides.For toilet waste retention tanks each such vehicle, excluding locomotives, shall also be fitted with a
flushing connection as shown in Figure 3. On vehicles fitted with a chemical toilet system (Annex A,
Figure A.4) the flushing connection shall be fitted on each side of the vehicle, for all other toilet systems
the flushing connection shall be as a minimum of one side of the vehicle.As design guidance it is preferable to have the flushing connection on both sides. It is also preferable to
fit flushing connections for catering area sink waste tanks. Provision of the flushing connection reduces
maintenance costs and increases efficiency of cleaning operations of the tank.---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------

The connections on the vehicle shall be between 500 mm and 1 500 mm above rail level, measured to
the centre of the connection. They shall not be recessed further than 100 mm deeper than the vehicle
bodyline. Where the connections are set back from the vehicle bodyline contained within a box
structure, the floor of the box shall be sloping outwards so that water cannot be retained in the enclosed
box and always drains to the outside of the vehicle. The connections shall have space around them as
detailed in Figure 4 and Figure 5 to allow connection of the pipe – this does not have to be all the way
around the connection but shall be for the direction the pipe connection rotates (i.e. the space around
connection does not have to be circular but is permitted to be rectangular or oval). When a manual
valve is included in the connection area, the space around the connection shall permit the opening and
closing operations.Dimensions in millimetres

The 3” connection and 1” connection shall be separated from water filling connection, described in
EN 16362, to avoid potential contamination. They shall be a minimum 500 mm apart, or separated by a
mechanical barrier. The mechanical barrier shall be impervious to stop spillage from the 3” connection
contaminating the water filling connection point. Where the 3” connection and water filling connection
are in the same area of the vehicle (whether separated by 500 mm or a mechanical barrier) the 3”
connection shall always be lower, as shown in Figure 6.Where a mechanical barrier is fitted between 3” connection and water filling connection it shall include
a cover flap that opens between the connections.In addition to the background colour and label detailed in 5.1, the connections shall be marked as

5.2.2 System design
The toilet system is permitted to be of any design, the common generic designs are shown in Annex A.
The amount of fluid used to flush shall be sufficient to reliably clean the toilet bowl.
As design guidance it is normal for 0,4 l per use to be considered as a minimum, and 0,5 l as an
aspirational norm to flush the toilet bowl. Lesser volumes are acceptable for urinal type fittings.
The design of toilet system shall permit the use of the toilet even when the train is stationary and when
within a station area.As design guidance it is normal for retention tank systems to enable the use in stations, but
consideration should be given to the on board waste treatment type system where it is normal to
prevent waste water discharge when the train is not moving.The design of toilet system shall permit the emptying of the retention tank(s) using a minimum vacuum
of −0,3 bar at the 3” connection. The system shall be capable to withstand a maximum vacuum of
−0,8 bar applied at the 3” connection.5.2.3 Temperature of operation
5.2.3.1 Standard temperature range
The toilet system shall be designed and insulated such that:
— with the vehicle heating system operational the toilet system shall function without perturbation at
external temperature of −20 °C;— the toilet system shall function normally after the heating system is turned off with the vehicle
internal temperature of 20 °C and external temperature of −10 °C for 12 h, and then the vehicle
