Overview

SIST EN 14601:2005+A1:2011/oprA2:2021 is a European standard developed by CEN under Technical Committee CEN/TC 256, focusing on railway applications. This standard covers the specifications and requirements for straight and angled end cocks used in brake pipes and main reservoir pipes on railway vehicles. The latest amendment A2, submitted in 2021, revises specific parts of the original standard-specifically the foreword and Annex ZA-to clarify regulatory relationships.

This standard is critical for ensuring safety, reliability, and interoperability in railway brake systems, representing the benchmark for manufacturers and operators within the EU and associated national standards bodies.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application: The standard applies to straight and angled end cocks designed for brake pipes and main reservoir pipes-essential components of railway pneumatic braking systems.
• Design and Construction: Specifies characteristics ensuring the mechanical and functional integrity of the end cocks under operational conditions.
• Materials and Components: Establishes material criteria compliant with railway engineering requirements to enhance durability and safety.
• Regulatory Compliance: The amendment deletes references to EU Directive 2008/57/EC, reflecting current legislative alignment.
• Document Language and Versions: The standard is available officially in English, French, and German, with equivalent translations accepted by CEN members.
• Technical Committee: Developed by CEN/TC 256, which specializes in railway applications, ensuring technical relevance and consistency.

Practical Applications

• Railway Vehicle Manufacturing: Manufacturers use EN 14601 to ensure end cocks meet stringent safety and performance standards in brake pipe and reservoir systems.
• Maintenance and Inspection: Railway maintenance teams rely on the standard to evaluate the condition and compliance of end cocks during routine inspections.
• Component Standardization: Harmonizes component specifications across European rail networks, facilitating interoperability and component interchangeability.
• Safety Assurance: Helps in minimizing risks associated with air brake failures by standardizing the valve operation and durability.
• Regulatory Adherence: Assists railway operators and suppliers in aligning products to European and national railway safety frameworks.

Related Standards

• EN 45545 – Railway Applications: Fire Protection: Relevant for materials used in railway components like end cocks to ensure fire safety.
• EN 50126/50128/50129 – Railway Safety & Reliability: Covers safety management and reliability protocols applicable to braking systems.
• ISO 9001 – Quality Management Systems: Applies to manufacturers ensuring quality control in production of railway brake components.
• EN 14033 – Railway Applications: Track and Track Components: Complements EN 14601 by providing standards for related railway infrastructure.

This draft amendment is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 256.

This draft amendment A2, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN 14601:2005+A1:2010. If this draft becomes an
amendment, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for
inclusion of this amendment into the relevant national standard without any alteration.

This draft amendment was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
