Overview - EN 16507:2014 (CEN)
EN 16507:2014, published by CEN, specifies interface and safety requirements for ground-based diesel refuelling equipment for railway vehicles. The standard covers vehicle fittings and fixed fuelling points intended to refuel locomotives, multiple units and other rolling stock fitted with diesel power units using fuels compliant with Directive 2009/30/EC. It does not apply to mobile or temporary refuelling points.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Vehicle interface: Each vehicle must have at least one circular refuelling opening (maximum height 1 500 mm above rail, minimum diameter 70 mm), sealing cover operable by hand, fuel level indicators on both sides (sight glasses not permitted) and clear marking per EN 15877-2.
- Tank and ventilation: Tanks and pipework must resist chemical attack by fuels in Directive 2009/30/EC, prevent surge/overflow and provide independent ventilation so filling can continue up to 90% tank level without premature shut-off.
- Fixed fuelling equipment:
- Nozzle: Flexible supply hose fitted with a Type II nozzle compliant with EN 13012; spout dimensions specified (170–280 mm length, 30–45 mm outer diameter).
- Breakaway coupling: Supply hose must include a breakaway coupling meeting EN 13617-2 to avoid spillage if movement occurs during refuelling.
- Flow rate: Each supply device shall deliver between 80 and 200 L/min.
- Refuelling apron: Impermeable apron with containment of 110% of potential spillage and drainage via an appropriate oil interceptor. Cleaning instructions and restrictions (e.g., avoid emulsifying chemicals; water <60 °C and <60 bar) are required.
- Information & maintenance: Operating and maintenance instructions are mandatory for vehicles and fixed installations to prevent leaks and ensure safe operation.
- National variants: Annex A records special national conditions (e.g., Great Britain BS 3818 compatibility; France aprons per Arrêté n°1435).
Practical applications and users
EN 16507:2014 is intended for:
- Railway infrastructure owners and depot designers specifying fixed refuelling points
- Rolling stock manufacturers and OEMs designing fuel tank openings, ventilation and refuelling interfaces
- Depot operators, maintenance teams and safety managers implementing refuelling procedures and site layouts
- Regulators and procurement teams ensuring interoperability across European networks and compliance with Directive 2008/57/EC

The standard EN 16507:2014 serves as a vital framework for the railway industry, specifically addressing the interface requirements between diesel refuelling equipment and railway vehicles equipped with diesel power units. Its scope is designed to enhance operational safety and efficiency at designated fuelling points. By providing clear specifications that ensure compatibility and safety, this standard is essential for facilitating effective refuelling processes in railway applications. One of the key strengths of EN 16507:2014 is its comprehensive approach to standardizing requirements for diesel refuelling equipment, including the necessary specifications for vehicle interfaces. This attention to detail not only promotes uniformity across the railway sector but also supports compliance with the European Directive 2009/30/EC regarding fuel quality. This alignment ensures that the refuelling processes adhere to stringent environmental standards, which is critical in today’s efforts toward reducing the ecological impact of transportation. Moreover, the document prudently excludes mobile or temporary refuelling points, thus concentrating on fixed installations where safety and compatibility can be most effectively monitored and managed. This specification is particularly relevant for railway operators looking to enhance their infrastructure reliability and operational integrity, as it delineates clear boundaries and guidelines for refuelling setups. The relevance of EN 16507:2014 is underscored in the context of increased safety measures within the railway industry. By standardizing the refuelling process, the document minimizes risks associated with fuel handling, which is paramount for both personnel safety and environmental protection. Furthermore, as the railway industry continues to evolve toward more sustainable practices, the specifications outlined in this standard play a crucial role in encouraging the use of compliant fuels, thus promoting an overall reduction in carbon footprints associated with railway operations. In summary, EN 16507:2014 stands out as a significant standard within the railway applications sector by providing focused and detailed guidelines for diesel refuelling equipment, enhancing compatibility, safety, and sustainability across railway vehicles. Its thoughtful scope and alignment with European environmental directives reinforce its importance within contemporary railway operations.
