0 Introduction
0.1 General
The objective of this document is to initially gather relevant existing standards as well as legislative
documents in order to identify the standards that can be potentially utilized in hyperloop. Some of these
standards are generic, technology agnostic and as such can also be applicable to hyperloop. A set of the
standards developed specifically for other transport modes and industries are a useful reference for the
future standards development in hyperloop. Especially the type of standards that will be required in
specific areas of system design provide for the first steps towards a standardization roadmap for the
hyperloop standards.
This document identifies the main areas of the standardization roadmap and provides the first inventory
of standards and legislative documents relevant to hyperloop Systems.
This document will be subject to future modifications and additions which will be incorporated into the
future versions. This takes into account the fact that the hyperloop technology is in full development.
0.2 Context
The hyperloop is a new technology which is being developed by several companies around the globe.
The hyperloop is a new means of transportation for large volumes of passengers and cargo, based on new
or emerging technologies such as low pressure environment or magnetic levitation, able to travel at very
high speeds, protected from bad weather conditions and other external conditions, with very low
environmental impact in terms of energy consumption, emission of greenhouse gases and other
pollutants, and noise emission.
A new means of transportation as ambitious and innovative as the hyperloop will need a large set of
standards to achieve different goals such as safety and security, efficiency, low time to market, and
compliance to regulations.
Following the expectation that there are several existing standards that could be (partially) reused, this
document aims at helping to identify those and the respective areas.
0.3 Purpose
The standards inventory contained in this document is created to take these standards, directives and
regulations into account, as input to the development of standards for hyperloop, and hence serve as a
valuable tool for the hyperloop industry and legislative authorities and regulators.

1 Scope
1.1 General
The original scope from N17 (NWI CEN/CLC TR Hyperloop systems - Standards inventory and roadmap)
reads as follows:
This document lists the relevant standards from various fields and provides a standardization roadmap for
hyperloop systems. The roadmap will provide guidance on the applicable standards from various fields,
those that need amending and the new-to be developed standards.
1.2 Methodology
The CEN-CENELEC/JTC 20 has listed the relevant documents (standards, directives, etc) from various
fields in order to provide a baseline for a standardization roadmap for hyperloop systems. The resulting
document hence enhances the scope as it provides guidance on the applicable relevant documents from
various fields that the working group has identified, analysed and proposed for an application in the
hyperloop field.
The following document is a first inventory that identifies
— those standards that the WG considers fully applicable,
— those deemed useful with certain adaptations for an application in hyperloop (or serving as an input
for new, specific hyperloop standards to be created),
— and those that the WG considers not directly applicable for hyperloop purposes.
In addition, this document identifies relevant regulations, directives and related documents as well as
some potential areas where new hyperloop standards will be needed.
It needs to be stated that the WG has done its best endeavour to identify the (partial) reusability for
hyperloop based on the available information (high-level descriptions of the standards, tables of contents,
summary documents etc).
In a next step, a roadmap will provide some guidance regarding those areas and point at new-to be
developed standards for which a need has been identified. The yet-to-be-created roadmap will also
sketch out the concrete steps to be taken w.r.t. to the development of the necessary hyperloop standards.
Moreover, an alignment with the other WIs will be performed, as it is important that all WIs are aligned
and use the same language.

5 Standards inventory and roadmap
5.1 Introduction
All references listed in the following tables have been classified in three groups:
I. Applicable
II. Useful as a reference, meaning that the degree of applicability to hyperloop systems has not yet been
established or thoroughly evaluated. This is the case, for example of many of the standards and
legislative documents that come from the aeronautic or railway industry.
III. Not directly applicable, meaning that the reference has been revised by CEN/CLC/JTC 20 “Hyperloop
systems” “Operation and Services” and has been found as not directly applicable.
A set of European standards is developed under Frankfurt/Vienna agreement and as such has an
equivalent ISO/IEC standard. For such standard the European Standard is listed. When known the
equivalent international ISO/IEC standard is referred as well.

0 Introduction
0.1 General
The objective of this document is to initially gather relevant existing standards as well as legislative
documents in order to identify the standards that can be potentially utilized in hyperloop. Some of these
standards are generic, technology agnostic and as such can also be applicable to hyperloop. A set of the
standards developed specifically for other transport modes and industries are a useful reference for the
future standards development in hyperloop. Especially the type of standards that will be required in
specific areas of system design provide for the first steps towards a standardization roadmap for the
hyperloop standards.
This document identifies the main areas of the standardization roadmap and provides the first inventory
of standards and legislative documents relevant to Hyperloop Systems.
This document will be subject to future modifications and additions which will be incorporated into the
future versions. This takes into account the fact that the hyperloop technology is in full development.
0.2 Context
The Hyperloop is a new technology which is being developed by several companies around the globe.
The Hyperloop is a new means of transportation for large volumes of passengers and cargo, based on new
or emerging technologies such as low pressure environment or magnetic levitation, able to travel at very
high speeds, protected from bad weather conditions and other external conditions, with very low
environmental impact in terms of energy consumption, emission of greenhouse gases and other
pollutants, and noise emission.
A new means of transportation as ambitious and innovative as the Hyperloop will need a large set of
standards to achieve different goals such as safety and security, efficiency, low time to market, and
compliance to regulations.
Following the expectation that there are several existing standards that could be (partially) reused, this
document aims at helping to identify those and the respective areas.
0.3 Purpose
The standards inventory contained in this document is created to take these standards, directives and
regulations into account, as input to the development of standards for Hyperloop, and hence serve as a
valuable tool for the Hyperloop industry and legislative authorities and regulators.

1 Scope
1.1 General
The original scope from N17 (NWI CEN/CLC TR Hyperloop systems - Standards inventory and roadmap)
reads as follows:
This document lists the relevant standards from various fields and provides a standardization roadmap for
hyperloop systems. The roadmap will provide guidance on the applicable standards from various fields,
those that need amending and the new-to be developed standards.
1.2 Methodology
The WG has listed the relevant documents (standards, directives, etc) from various fields in order to
provide a baseline for a standardization roadmap for hyperloop systems. The resulting document hence
enhances the scope as it provides guidance on the applicable relevant documents from various fields that
the working group has identified, analysed and proposed for an application in the hyperloop field.
The following document is a first inventory that identifies
— those standards that the WG considers fully applicable,
— those deemed useful with certain adaptations for an application in hyperloop (or serving as an input
for new, specific hyperloop standards to be created),
— and those that the WG considers not directly applicable for Hyperloop purposes.
In addition, this document identifies relevant regulations, directives and related documents as well as
some potential areas where new hyperloop standards will be needed.
It needs to be stated that the WG has done its best endeavour to identify the (partial) reusability for
hyperloop based on the available information (high-level descriptions of the standards, tables of contents,
summary documents etc).
In a next step, a roadmap will provide some guidance regarding those areas and point at new-to be
developed standards for which a need has been identified. The yet-to-be-created roadmap will also
sketch out the concrete steps to be taken w.r.t. to the development of the necessary Hyperloop standards.
Moreover, an alignment with the other WIs will be performed, as it is important that all WIs are aligned
and use the same language.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in prEN XXX (WI = JT020005,
Hyperloop vocabulary definitions) apply.

4 Standards inventory and roadmap
4.1 Introduction
All references listed in the following tables have been classified in three groups:
I. Applicable
II. Useful as a reference, meaning that the degree of applicability to Hyperloop Systems has not yet been
established or thoroughly evaluated. This is the case, for example of many of the standards and
legislative documents that come from the aeronautic or railway industry.
III. Not directly applicable, meaning that the reference has been revised by WG1 “Operation and
Services” and has been found as not directly applicable.
A set of European standards are developed under Frankfurt/Vienna agreement and as such have an
equivalent ISO/IEC standard. For such standard the European Standard is listed. When known the
equivalent international ISO/IEC standard is referred as well.
A set of relevant European and/or international legislative references originating from the governmental
institutions are referred separately at the end of each table.
