Railway applications - Rescue coupler - Performance requirements, specific interface geometry and test methods
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the rescue coupler for train sets compliant with the Technical Specification for Interoperability High Speed Rolling Stock. It defines the interfaces to which it has to match during rescue operations. It is suitable for locomotives fitted with UIC 520 pattern draw gear and buffers, i.e. moveable draw hook and draw gear capable of compressive loading. Provisions going beyond the scope of this European Standard need to be agreed upon by the contracting parties involved.

the draw hook having the dimensions shown in Figure C.1. The main dimensions and characteristics of the rescue coupler shall be as given in Annex B. The mass of the complete rescue coupler in its operational condition shall not exceed 50 kg. The rescue coupler shall be able to withstand the following loads without permanent deformation: maximum tensile load = 300 kN; maximum compressive load = 250 kN. NOTE There are no fatigue requirements for the rescue coupler. The rescue coupler shall be equipped with handles or components which serve as such for transport and lifting. Material certificates and weld-classes used shall meet current requirements. Welded parts shall be in accordance with prEN 15085 and EN ISO 5817. 4.2 Rescue vehicle characteristics The rescue vehicle characteristics to be taken into account are defined as follows: connections for electric cables and air pipes on head stocks of locomotives (see Figure C.3); draw hook (see Figure C.1). Due to different markings located on both sides of the hook it is compulsory to consider a 2059+ mm hook width; pneumatic coupling for brake pipe and main air reservoir pipe (see Annex D). The rescue coupler pneumatic pipes and their connections shall be provided for a 10 bar pressure.

EN 15020:2006+A1:2010 (E) 6 4.3 Fitting procedure The rescue coupler shall be placed close to the front of the rescue vehicle. The rescue coupler shall be mounted on the draw hook. It shall be possible for the coupler to be lifted and mounted onto the draw hook of the rescue vehicle by no more than two persons. The available space around the draw hook of the rescue vehicle shall be taken into account. Mounting of the rescue coupler on the draw hook shall not require any special tools.
The coupler shall be secured to the draw hook with a fixing device in such a way that it cannot freely move or come off the draw hook during the rescue operation. Once the rescue coupler is mounted on the draw hook of the rescue vehicle: the installed rescue coupler shall have at least ± 6° vertical movement from the horizontal during operation; it shall be possible for the coupler to be adjusted vertically on the draw hook without the need for special tools; coupling and uncoupling operation shall not require any human presence between the rescue vehicle and the failed train unit or train set whilst either is being moved; the rescue coupler and the pneumatic hoses shall not limit the maximum lateral movement of the draw hook. 4.4 Coupling conditions 4.4.1 Mechanical coupling The mechanical coupling between the automatic coupler on the failed train set and the rescue coupler on the rescue vehicle shall be automatic. It shall be possible to couple a train set to a rescue vehicle in a 150 m radius curve. For vehicles fitted with automatic couplers, the car builder shall demonstrate: automatic coupling with a rescue coupler
uncoupling performance in 150 m radius curve conditions. The rescue coupler shall be designed to ensure that coupling is possible
