Overview

EN 50463-4:2017/prA1:2021 is an amendment to the European standard EN 50463-4 - Railway applications: Energy measurement on board trains - Part 4: Communication. Prepared by CLC/TC 9X, this draft amendment updates the standard’s normative reference from the draft prEN 61375-2-6 to EN IEC 61375-2-6:2018 (Train Communication Network - Part 2-6: On-board to ground communication). The amendment aligns EN 50463-4 with the published TCN on-board-to-ground specification and updates the informative Annex ZZ that links the standard to EU interoperability requirements.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Reference update: All occurrences of prEN 61375-2-6 are replaced by EN IEC 61375-2-6:2018, ensuring consistency with the finalized TCN on-board-to-ground standard.
• Normative references: Clause 2 (Normative references) is modified to cite EN IEC 61375-2-6:2018 as the applicable communication specification.
• Annex ZZ (informative): Revised mapping between EN 50463-4 and the essential requirements of Directive (EU) 2016/797 and related Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs) for rolling stock and energy subsystems. This Annex clarifies which clauses support a presumption of conformity with EU TSIs (e.g., LOC&PAS and Energy TSIs).
• Interoperability focus: Defines the correspondence between on-board energy measurement systems (EMS) and on-ground data collection systems (DCS) and references the applicable TSI clauses for energy data exchange.
• Regulatory alignment: The amendment supports users seeking conformity with EU interoperability regulations when the standard is cited in the Official Journal.

Applications and Who Uses It

• Train manufacturers and OEMs - to implement compliant on-board energy measurement communication interfaces.
• EMS and telematics suppliers - to design data exchange between on-board meters and ground-based data collection systems.
• System integrators - to ensure interoperability across Train Communication Network (TCN) components and on-board-to-ground links.
• Infrastructure managers and rail operators - to specify compliant procurement and ensure TSI alignment for energy monitoring and billing.
• Regulatory and certification bodies - to assess conformity with EU Directive 2016/797 and associated TSIs.

Related Standards and Regulations

• EN IEC 61375-2-6:2018 - Train communication network (TCN): On-board to ground communication (normative link)
• EN 50463 series - Energy measurement on board trains (system context)
• Directive (EU) 2016/797 and corresponding TSIs (LOC&PAS, Energy)
• Relevant Commission Regulations and Implementing Regulations cited in Annex ZZ

This amendment is important for stakeholders implementing energy measurement on board trains who require standardized, interoperable communication with on-ground systems and wish to align with European interoperability rules. Keywords: EN 50463-4, energy measurement on board trains, communication, EN IEC 61375-2-6, train communication network, on-board to ground communication, TSI, interoperability.
