NOTE Definitions 3.1.1 to 3.1.5 from CEN-CENELEC Guide 26.
3.1 General
3.1.1
urban guided transport (UGT) systems
system covering metro, tram and light rail, and defined as public transport systems permanently guided
at least by one rail, intended for the operation of local, urban and suburban passenger services with
self-propelled vehicles and operated either segregated or not from general road and pedestrian traffic
3.1.2
metro system
UGT system operated on its own right of way and segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic;
consequently designed for operations in tunnels, viaducts or on surface level but with physical
separation in such a way that inadvertent access is not possible
Note 1 to entry: In different parts of the world, Metro systems are also known as the underground, the subway
or the tube. Rail systems with specific construction issues operating on a segregated guideway (e.g. monorail, rack
railways) are also treated as metros as long as they are designated as part of the urban public transport network.
3.1.3
tram
UGT system not segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic, which shares its right of way with
general road and/or pedestrian traffic and is therefore embedded in its relevant national road traffic
legislation (highway codes and specific adaptations)
3.1.4
light rail
UGT system operated on parts of the system not segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic,
and on parts of the system with segregated right-of-way; the segregation may include some sections of
line where inadvertent access is not possible
3.1.5
local rail system
system connecting city centres with their suburban hinterland or regional local centres, operated on
rights of way which are basically segregated from general road and/or pedestrian traffic and/or which
can be declared by law as independent from the public environment even if they are not segregated by
location, form of construction or appropriate measures
Note 1 to entry: Local rail systems, by national decision complying with Article 1.3 (a) or (b) of Directive
2008/57/EC, may be excluded from the European Community Rail System.
Note 2 to entry: For historical reasons local rail systems may be strongly influenced by conventional railway
parameters and their operations procedures.

4 Requirements for lighting in passenger areas
4.1 General lighting
4.1.1 General
The quality of lighting influences visual performance, performance attitude, safety at work and general
well-being.
The lighting for rolling stock in urban rail systems shall enable the relevant visual tasks to be
performed, e.g. it shall support passenger safety on board and during passenger transfer.
The requirements to be met by the lighting system are based on the following criteria:
— illuminance;
— uniformity;
— limitation of glare;
— colour temperature and colour rendering;
— photobiological safety.
NOTE The photobiological effects of lamps may include the following undesirable reactions: photokeratitis,
ultraviolet erythema, ultraviolet cataract, and photoretinitis.
A lighting system can only satisfy specified requirements if all criteria mentioned above have been
taken into account. Depending on the type and level of the difficulty of the visual task, orientation of
seating, or of the type of accommodation to be lit, priority may be given to one or more of these criteria.
General lighting shall achieve the values set out in Table 1.
By agreement between contractors, it is permissible for the general lighting system to adapt to the
ambient lighting, provided that the contribution from the general lighting system plus that from the
ambient lighting achieves the values set out in Table 1. Such arrangements are not permissible for
emergency lighting.
In all cases:
— general lighting shall be provided in normal operation without interruption;
— in the event of loss of the main power supply, the emergency lighting shall operate. By agreement
between contractors, in the case of loss of the main power supply in EN 45545-1:2013, 5.2.1
Operation Categories 2, 3 and 4 (OC2, OC3 and OC4) only, the general lighting may continue to
operate for a period of not less than 10 min, after which time the general lighting shall switch to
emergency lighting.

3.1 General
3.1.1
Urban guided transport system
UGT system
system covering metro, tram and light rail, and are defined as public transport systems permanently
guided at least by one rail, intended for the operation of local, urban and suburban passenger services
with self-propelled vehicles and operated either segregated or not from general road and pedestrian
traffic

3.1.2
metro system
UGT system operated on its own right of way and segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic;
consequently designed for operations in tunnels, viaducts or on surface level but with physical
separation in such a way that inadvertent access is not possible
Note 1 to entry: In different parts of the world, Metro systems are also known as the underground, the subway
or the tube. Rail systems with specific construction issues operating on a segregated guideway (e.g. monorail, rack
railways) are also treated as Metros as long as they are designated as part of the urban public transport network.
3.1.3
tram
UGT systems not segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic, which share their right of way
with general road and/or pedestrian traffic and are therefore embedded in their relevant national road
traffic legislation (highway codes and specific adaptations)
3.1.4
light rail
UGT system operated in parts of the system not segregated from general road and pedestrian traffic,
and in parts of the system with segregated right-of-way
Note 1 to entry: The segregation may include some sections of line where inadvertent access is not possible.
3.1.5
local rail system
system connecting city centres with their suburban hinterland or regional local centres, operated on
rights of way which are basically segregated from general road and/or pedestrian traffic and/or which
can be declared by law as independent from the public environment even if they are not segregated by
location, form of construction or appropriate measures
Note 1 to entry: Local rail systems, by national decision complying with Article 1.3 (a) or (b) of Directive
2008/57/EC, may be excluded from the European Community Rail System. Such
Note 2 to entry: For historical reasons they might be strongly influenced by conventional railway parameters
and their operations procedures.

4.1.1 General
The quality of lighting influences visual performance, performance attitude, safety at work and general
well-being.
The lighting for rolling stock in urban rail systems shall enable the relevant visual tasks to be
performed, e.g. it shall ensure passenger safety on board and during passenger transfer.
The requirements to be met by the lighting system are based on the following criteria:
— illuminance;
— uniformity;
— limitation of glare;
— colour temperature and colour rendering;
— photobiological safety.
General lighting shall achieve the values set out in Table 2.

NOTE Where agreed by contractors, it is possible for the general lighting system to adapt to the ambient
lighting, provided that the contribution from the general lighting system plus that from the ambient lighting
achieves the values set out in Table 2. Such arrangements are not permissible for emergency lighting.
In all cases:
— general lighting shall be provided in normal operation without interruption;
— in the event of loss of the main power supply, general lighting shall be provided for a minimum
switch-over period defined in Table 1.

A lighting system can only satisfy specified requirements if all criteria mentioned above have been
taken into account. Depending on the type and level of the difficulty of the visual task, orientation of
seating, or of the type of accommodation to be lit, priority may be given to one or more of these criteria.
4.1.2 Illuminance and uniformity
Different requirements are made concerning the general lighting for urban rail vehicles according to the
location. The minimum value of the average illuminance and uniform
