Railway applications - Braking systems of high speed trains - Part 1: Requirements and definitions
This European Standard describes the functionality, constraints, performance and operation of a brake system for use in high speed trains as described in the TSI High Speed Rolling Stock, operating on routes of the European railways and their infrastructure systems.
The brake system requirements specified in this European Standard apply to trains that may operate at a maximum speed of up to 350 km/h on lines specifically built for high speed and define graduated values for deceleration related to four speed ranges (see Clause 6).
This European Standard covers:
- all new vehicle designs of high speed trains;
- all major overhauls of the above-mentioned vehicles if they involve redesigning or extensive alteration to the brake system of the vehicle concerned.
This European Standard does not cover locomotive hauled trains, which are specified by EN 14198.
NOTE This document applies the functional subdivision into subsystems as specified in the TSI High speed. The braking system is part of the function: "Accelerate, maintain speed, brake and stop".

5.1 General requirements
5.1.1 Safety
Braking systems shall conform to the following:
a) the braking performances defined in Clause 6;
b) the design principles listed in the document below;
c) the design principles listed in relevant standards on brake systems;
d) the requirements for the operator using and maintaining the brake system in the intended manner;
e) keeping within the required limits, in order to reduce the effects on the track, as specified in 5.1.9
and 5.5.
In the course of the system design the following risks shall be considered and mitigated. As a minimum,
the following hazards shall be taken into account:
f) the brake force applied is greater than the level of brake demanded:
1) impact on standing passengers;
NOTE No limits are so far defined to secure passengers, only reference could be made to the TSI requirement
2
considering longitudinal forces which corresponds to 2,5 m/s .
2) excessive jerk;
3) significant damage to the contact surface of the wheels;
g) the brake performance is lower than the level of brake demanded:
1) keeping traction effort on the whole train while emergency brake is requested;

2) emergency brake performance not achieved;
3) parking brake: performance not achieved;
4) holding brake for brake test not achieved;
h) there is no brake force, when demanded:
1) emergency brake not activated on the whole train when requested;
2) automatic (emergency) brake not initiated in the case of an unintended train separation (loss
of train integrity);
3) parking brake: loss of performance over the time;
i) there is a brake force when a brake demand has not been made:
1) undue local brake application;
2) locked axle not detected;
j) brake component failures that could cause death or injury to personnel or damage to the train or
infrastructure, e.g. derailment.
The hazards in this list shall be assessed in accordance with EN 50126-1.
Concluding from the hazards listed above the emergency brake shall have a high level of integrity and
shall always be available when the brake system is set up for operation, whereas the service brake,
whilst it may share subsystems and components, etc. with the emergency brake, need not achieve the
same level of integrity. Nevertheless the service brake shall be designed to conform to the following
requirements:
k) the service brake shall be activated on the whole train when requested;
l) in the case of a loss of service b
