218 1 Scope
219 This European Standard specifies requirements for the interaction between pantographs and overhead
220 contact lines, to achieve to achieve free access.221 NOTE These requirements are defined for a limited number of pantograph types, referred to as an 'interoperable
222 pantograph' according to 5.3, together with the geometry and characteristics of compatible overhead contact lines.
223 This European Standard describes parameters and values for planned and future lines.
224 Annex B gives some parameters for existing lines (informative).225 2 Normative references
