Diese Europäische Norm gilt für:
-   Straßenbahnen;
-   Stadtbahnen;
-   U-Bahnen auf Stahlrädern;
-   U-Bahnen auf gummibereiften Rädern;
-   S-Bahnen bzw. Regional-Bahnen;
und bezieht sich auf:
-   alle neu konstruierten Fahrzeuge;
-   alle größeren Grundüberholungen, wenn diese eine Neukonstruktion oder umfassende Änderungen der Bremsanlage einschließen;
-   alle Neubauten von vorhandenen Fahrzeugbauarten.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für besondere Verkehrssysteme, z. B. Ein-Schienen-Bahnen, Zahnradbahnen, vom übrigen Netz getrennte Bahnen wie Museumsbahnen, Betriebsfahrzeuge, usw.
Die Verkehrsunternehmen stellen sicher, dass Lastenhefte diese Europäische Norm als Teil der Anforderungen an die Bremsanlagen enthalten. Die Hersteller geben bei Angebotsabgabe an, wo diese Europäische Norm nicht eingehalten wird.

Applications ferroviaires - Freinage - Systèmes de freinage des transports publics urbains er suburbains - Partie 2: Méthodes d'essais

Cette Norme européenne définit les exigences d'essais pour le freinage des véhicules de transports publics urbains roulant avec roues fers ou pneumatiques et guidés par rails ou tout autre système de guidage.
Cette Norme européenne s'applique aux véhicules suivants :
   tramways ;
   véhicules ferroviaires légers ;
   métros sur roues fer ;
   métros sur pneus ;
   trains de banlieue ou régionaux ;
et est applicable à :
   tous les véhicules de conception nouvelle ;
   toutes les remises à niveau majeures de véhicules lorsque celles-ci incluent des modifications ou des changements de conception sur le système de freinage ;
   tous les véhicules reconduits sur conception déjà définie.
Cette Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux systèmes de transport spéciaux tels que monorails suspendus, véhicules à crémaillères, véhicules à usage particulier, etc..
Le Réseau Ferroviaire doit s'assurer que les spécifications incluent cette Norme européenne dans les exigences de freinage. Les constructeurs doivent identifier, au moment de leurs offres toute non-conformité à cette Norme européenne.

Overview

EN 13452-2:2003 - Railway applications: Braking - Mass transit brake systems - Part 2: Methods of test (CEN) defines the test methods required to demonstrate compliance of mass-transit brake systems for urban and suburban rail vehicles. It covers static and dynamic type tests and routine tests for trams, light rail, metros (steel and rubber‑tyred), and commuter/regional trains. The standard applies to all newly designed vehicles, major refurbishments with brake redesign, and new builds of existing designs. It does not apply to special systems (e.g., suspended monorail, rack and pinion).

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and applicability: Tests for vehicles running on steel or rubber‑tyred wheels guided by rails or equivalent means; obligations for suppliers to declare non‑compliances to Transport Authorities.
• Test types:
  • Static type tests: bench and on‑train checks to establish reference parameters (e.g., brake cylinder pressures, friction pair loads, actuator strokes, governor settings, application/release times, leakage, stored energy capacity, sanding systems).
  • Dynamic type tests: on‑track performance verification for emergency, security and service braking, including tests under degraded adhesion and simulated environmental conditions.
  • Holding and parking brake testing: specific type and routine procedures to verify retention and push‑through capacities.
  • Routine tests: production checks applied to every unit prior to entry into service.
• Test programmes and repeatability: Type testing requires multiple runs - e.g., either three tests at three speeds or nine tests distributed across the speed range - and testing at specified load conditions (references to EL E, EL 4 or EL 6 loads). The Transport Authority defines exact acceptance criteria and repeatability bands (recommended ±10% for dry rail).
• Documentation: requirement for agreed test procedures and detailed test reports; guidance in Annex A on emergency/service/parking/holding and degraded adhesion testing.
• Integration: static tests must precede dynamic tests; bench testing may substitute where on‑vehicle tests are impractical (with Transport Authority agreement).

Applications - who uses this standard

• Transport Authorities / operators: to specify acceptance tests and set performance/acceptance criteria.
• Rolling‑stock manufacturers and suppliers: to design test programmes, perform type and routine tests, and document compliance.
• Testing laboratories and maintenance teams: to execute brake performance, safety and reliability assessments during commissioning and major refurbishments.
• Certification bodies: to evaluate brake system conformity for entry into service.
