EN 15153-2:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard was produced following a review of EN 15153-2:2007 to incorporate the requirements of rolling stock TSIs.

EN 15153-2:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard defines warning horn requirements which deliver the required audibility of approaching trains, including high speed and conventional rail and excluding road, metro and self-contained systems. For this purpose, the following requirements are included: functional and technical requirements of the warning horn as a component,
functional and technical requirements of the integration of warning horns into the vehicle, and test requirements. Operational requirements for warning horns have been excluded. NOTE The requirements for the control of warning horns can be found in prEN 16186-1. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. prEN 16186-1, Railway applications — Driver’s Cab — Part 1: Visibility, layout, access EN 61672-1, Electroacoustics — Sound level meters — Part 1: Specifications (IEC 61672-1) EN 61672-2, Electroacoustics — Sound level meters— Part 2: Pattern evaluation tests (IEC 61672-2) EN 60942, Electroacoustics — Sound calibrators (IEC 60942) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 warning horn device or assembly capable of producing the specified audible warning tones 3.2 vehicle front leading edge of the train in its operational condition Note 1 to entry: This would be the extreme front edge of any of the following - couplers, buffers, structures and vehicle profile. 3.3 C-weighted sound pressure level LpCeq,T sound pressure level obtained using the frequency weighting C, given by the following formula: ()=∫TCTpCeqdtptpTL0202,1lg10 SIST EN 15153-2:2014

HS RST TSI Technical Specification for Interoperability relating to the rolling stock subsystem of the trans-European high-speed rail system CR RST TSI Technical Specification for Interoperability relating to the rolling stock subsystem of the trans-European conventional rail system 5 Requirements 5.1 General Trains shall be fitted with one or more warning horns on the leading vehicle. All locomotives shall be fitted with warning horn(s) for each direction of travel.
Consideration shall be given to the location of the warning horns, taking into account the possible exposure of staff to excessive noise. NOTE The aim is to control the risk of accidental hearing damage when a horn is sounded at a time when a person is working close to the horn. In order to minimise environmental impact, warning horns should be orientated along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. It is permissible for trains to be fitted with additional audible warning devices. 5.2 Acoustic requirements 5.2.1 Frequency The notes of the audible warning horns are intended to be recognisable as being from a train and not be similar to warning devices used in road transport, factories or other common warning devices. The warning horn frequencies shall be selected from the following options: a) Two separately sounded warning horns. The fundamental frequencies of the warning horn notes shall be:
high note: 370 Hz ± 20 Hz SIST EN 15153-2:2014
EN 15153-2:2013 (E) 7
low note: 311 Hz ± 20 Hz b) Two separately sounded warning horns. The fundamental frequencies of the warning horn notes shall be: high note: 660 Hz ± 30 Hz low note: 370 Hz ± 20 Hz It is permissible for these horns to be sounded simultaneously. c) Two warning horns sounded simultaneously. The fundamental frequencies of the notes shall be:
high note: 470 Hz ± 25 Hz
low note: 370 Hz ± 20 Hz d) Three warning horns sounded simultaneously. The fundamental frequencies of the notes shall be:
high note: 622 Hz ± 30 Hz
middle note: 470 Hz ± 25 Hz
low note: 370 Hz ± 20 Hz Where a second sound is required for cases c) and d), this shall be a separately sounded note of 370 Hz ± 20 Hz. In the case of trains intended for national use only, the deviation in Annex D is permissible. 5.2.2 Sound pressure level The C-weighted sound pressure level LpCeq,T produced by each horn sounded separately (or in a group if designed to sound simultaneously) shall be between 101 dB and 109 dB when measured and verified in accordance with the requirements defined in Clause 6.
In the case of trains intended for national use only, the requirements of Annex D may apply. 5.3 Operation The controls for warning horns shall be in accordance with prEN 16186-1. 5.4 Energy supply Warning horns shall be operated using an energy source that is readily available on the vehicle carrying the horn. The horn shall meet the technical requirements of this European Standard over the full range of energy levels encountered on the vehicle in its normal operational condition. Where agreed between contractors, the horn shall be operational over an extended range of energy levels. 5.5 Impact protection Warning horns and their control systems should be protected, so far as it is practicable, from impact and subsequent blockage by airborne objects such as debris, dust, snow, hail and birds. Where such protection features are used, the acous
