Introduction
It is generally accepted that safety depends on human factors, based on the normal behaviour of the
operators involved, as well as upon technical factors.
For these reasons, this European Standard, in several instances, leaves a choice to the contracting
parties between two alternatives. These alternatives consist of either the provision of operating rules,
regulations and procedures, or in the application of technical measures such as mechanical or
electrical interlocking devices.
A list of the cases for which the contracting parties (e.g. user and manufacturer) should reach
agreement before signing the contract is included in Annex B.
1 Scope
This European Standard defines requirements to be applied in the design and manufacture of electrical
installations and equipment to be used on rolling stock to protect persons from electric shocks.
This European Standard is applicable to rolling stock of rail transport systems, road transport systems,
if they are powered by an external supply (e.g. trolley buses), magnetically levitated transport systems
and to the electrical equipment installed in these systems.
This European Standard does not apply to:
– mine railways in mines,
– crane installations, moving platforms and similar transport systems on rails,
– funicular railways,
– temporary constructions.
