this standard defines elements which are universally valid for obstacle free travelling including toilets, elements for sitting/standing/moving and passageways/internal doors. The definitions and requirements of this standard are to be used for rolling stock applications;
this part of the standard covers those requirements relating to "Toilets";
the standard only refers to aspects of accessibility for PRM passengers. It does not define general requirements and general definitions for specific components and systems;
this standard assumes that the vehicle is in the defined operating condition, any damages or operating failures will not be taken into account when assessing these requirements;
where minimum or maximum dimensions are quoted these are absolute NOT nominal requirements.
The following areas of "Equipment and Components" from TSI PRM are covered in three parts:
Part 1 contains:
Toilets;
Part 2 contains:
Handholds;

Note 2 to entry: In the context of steps for internal height changes (other than the external access/egress steps) this means the first usable step when ascending and the edge of the walking floor when descending. 3.4 handrail continuous element with round cross section for passengers to use to aid personal stability by gripping around 3.5 last step final step for an ascending passenger to use to overcome a height change, forming the edge of the walking floor 3.6 manual door unpowered door which the passenger has to physically open and/or close 3.7 palm operable operable by the palm or any part of the hand, not requiring fingers to be unclenched Note 1 to entry: The design need is that passengers with painful conditions, which affect their joints such as arthritis, may be unable to (and are likely to experience discomfort or pain if they do) exert any force with the tip of a single finger. Many may not be able to unclench their fingers to do this or perform any pulling action. SIST EN 16585-1:2017

For the toilet flush: — Assessment: accessibility to the toilet flush shall be according to the reach range of a 5 %ile female to a 95 %ile male, either from the toilet seat or the wheelchair, demonstrated by 3D model and or drawing using relevant anthropometric data or the simplified reach range according to Figure B.2 (See Figure 9 for an example). iv. For mirrors — Assessment: If mirror(s) are provided, at least one should be positioned in such a way to consider the eye point of a person in a wheelchair (See EN 16584-2:2017, Annex C for eye point dimensions). NOTE 1 This may be achieved by angling the mirror (for example above a wash basin) towards the wheelchair user. SIST EN 16585-1:2017

Key 1 reach range Figure 9 — Example of amenities reach range assessment 12) The toilet cubicle shall be fitted with not less than two call for aid devices that shall, when operated, send a signal to a person who can take appropriate action; they need not initiate a communication. i. The interface of the call for aid devices shall be as defined in 5.6. ii. One call for aid device shall be placed not more than 450 mm above the floor, it shall be positioned so that the control can be reached by a person lying on the floor. — Assessment: this shall be measured vertically from the surface of the floor to the centre of the control. iii. The call for aid device shall have a clear space consisting of: a) An unobstructed floor area with a minimum length of 700 mm in front of the call for aid device as shown in Figure 10; and b) minimum 650 mm unobstructed height above floor as shown in Figure 10.

Therefore, an allowance of up to 135° is permitted for the variations in form. Figure 10 — Example of lower call for aid device in toilet iv. The other call for aid device shall be not less than 800 mm and not more than 1 100 mm above the floor. — Assessment: this shall be measured vertically above the walking floor to the centre of the control. — Assessment: shall be within the normal reach as described in Annex B - Figure B.2. v. These two call for aid devices shall be located on different vertical surfaces of the cubicle so that they may be reached from a range of positions. vi. The controls of the call for aid devices shall be distinct from any other control within the toilet, be coloured differently from other control devices and contrast with their background. — Assessment shall be according to EN 16584-1 and EN 16584-2 for the relevant parts of this requirement. 13) When toilets are fitted in a train a baby nappy changing facility shall be provided.
