Railway applications - Braking - Distributor valves and distributor-isolating devices

This document applies to distributor valves and distributor-isolating devices.
The distributor valves contained in this document are of graduable release type. Direct release types are not included.
Functionally they are regarded as not containing relay valves of any type, even if the relay valves are physically an integral part of the distributor valves.
This document applies to both distributor-isolating devices mounted separate from the distributor valve and distributor-isolating devices integral with the distributor valve.
This document specifies the requirements for the design, testing and quality assurance of distributor valves and distributor-isolating devices.
The distributor valve and distributor-isolating device are intended to be part of a brake system mounted in a vehicle with maximum length of 31 m and maximum brake pipe volume of 25 l taking into consideration brake pipe inner diameters between 25 mm and 32 mm.

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 15355:2019. 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.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and
United Kingdom.
Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they are
aware and to provide supporting documentation.

European foreword
This document (EN 15355:2019/prA1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256
“Railway applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU
Directive(s) / Regulation(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part

1 Modification to European foreword
Change “EU Directive 2008/57/EC” to “Directive (EU) 2016/797”.
2 Modification to 6.3.1, General
Change 5th paragraph:
“For other distributor valves, designed for dual pipe application only, where the auxiliary reservoir
volume is supplied by the main reservoir pipe (MRP) only, the tests shall be performed with supply from
the main reservoir pipe.”
to
“For other distributor valves, designed for dual pipe application only, where the auxiliary reservoir
volume is supplied by the main reservoir pipe (MRP) only, the tests shall be performed with supply from
the main reservoir pipe at a pressure of (10,00 ± 0,50) bar.“
3 Modification to 6.3.5.3, Pass/fail criteria
Change sentence:
“The pass/fail criteria shall be in accordance with those of the referred tests except for the maximum
output pressure and build-up and release times. The tolerance of ±20 % of the nominal values of build-
up and release time and output pressure is allowed when the input pressure is (4,00 + 0,10/-0) bar and
(6,00 + 0/-0,10) bar.“
to the following text and new Table 2:
“For distributor valves for which output pressure is limited in an absolute manner (i.e; independent from
the input pressure and in consequence from the pressure level in the control chamber as long as the
pressure in the auxiliary reservoir is sufficient to reach the maximum output pressure), the pass/fail
criteria shall be in accordance with those of the referred tests.
For distributor valves for which output pressure is controlled by the control chamber pressure (i.e;
proportional to the input pressure), the pass/fail criteria shall be in accordance with those of the referred
tests except for the maximum output pressure and build-up and release times. A proportional rescaling
related to the nominal working pressure shall be applied to the
