— this standard only refers to aspects of accessibility for PRM passengers. It does not define general requirements and general definitions;
— this standard assumes that the rolling stock is in its defined operating condition;
— where minimum or maximum dimensions are quoted these are absolute NOT nominal requirements.
The 'Equipment and Components' standard is written in three parts:
— this document is Part 1 and contains:
— toilets;
— part 2 contains:
— handholds;
— seats;
— wheelchair spaces;
— part 3 contains:

5 Requirements and assessment
5.1 General
1) All dimensions in the figures are in millimetres (mm) unless otherwise stated.
2) When toilets are fitted in a train, a universal toilet shall be provided that is accessible from the
wheelchair space and, if provided, the sleeping compartment.
3) The standard toilet shall be compliant with the requirements of 5.2 and 5.3.
4) The universal toilet shall be compliant with the requirements of 5.2 and 5.4.
5.2 Standard and universal toilets, common parameters
1) The centre of any door handle, lock or door control device on the exterior or interior of the toilet
compartment shall be located at a minimum of 800 mm and a maximum of 1 100 mm above the toilet
door threshold.
— Assessment: this shall be measured vertically above the door threshold.
2) A visual and tactile (or audible) indication shall be given inside and outside the toilet to indicate when
a door has been locked.
— Assessment: visual, tactile, and audible information shall be according to prEN 16584-2:2022.
— Assessment: Indication inside the toilet shall be provided by two distinct physical positions of
the “lock” device and/or provision of audible indication.
NOTE 1 Current good practice and solutions are shown in prEN 16584-2:2022, Annex M.
3) Any door control device and other equipment inside a toilet compartment (except for baby nappy
change facilities and call for aid devices) shall be operable by exerting a force not exceeding 20 N.
— Assessment of force required to operate a control device shall be by pulling or pushing the device
depending on its normal mode of operation with e.g. a “force gauge” or “force meter” until the
device or equipment is operated or activated.
— This requirement does not refer to the force required to open or close a manual door itself (this
is described in prEN 16585-3:2022).
4) Any control device, including flushing system, shall contrast to the background surface, and shall be
identifiable by touch.
— Assessment shall be according to prEN 16584-1:2022 and prEN 16584-2:2022.
NOTE 2 For systems that are operated by proximity sensors this requirement does not apply.
NOTE 3 For hygiene reasons it is good practice to have the flush control logically positioned that is close to
the toilet so a blind or visually impaired passenger can locate it.
5) Clear, precise information for the operation of any control device shall be provided, making use of
pictograms and shall be tactile.
— Assessment shall be according to prEN 16584-2:2022.

6) The toilet seat and lid shall contrast with the background.
— Assessment shall be according to prEN 16584-1:2022.
7) Door controls shall comply with the specifications of prEN 16585-3:2022, 5.2.1
8) If both open and closed door control devices are fitted one above the other: the top button shall
always be the open control. (To be subject to this requirement the buttons do not need to be directly
one above the other)
9) Internal automatic and semi-automatic doors shall incorporate devices that prevent passengers
becoming trapped during operation of the doors.
— Assessment shall be according to method described in EN 14752
10) Handrails where provided shall:
i. Contrast to the background surface.
— Assessment shall be according to prEN 16584-1:2022.
ii. Comply with the geometric requirements described in the relevant clauses of
prEN 16585-2:2022.
11) In all areas of double-deck vehicles the minimum height of 1 950 mm shall be replaced by the relative
ceiling height provided in those areas. In those areas, reduced ceiling height is only accepted as a
consequence of structural constraints (gauge, physical space).
12) The force required to open or close a manual door shall not exceed 60 N.
— Assessment of force required shall be by pulling or pushing the door relative to its normal mode
of operation with a ‘force gauge’ or 'force meter' until the door is fully opened or fully closed. See
prEN 16585-3:2022 for an example force meter.
NOTE 4 It is recommended that manual doors are not used for Universal toilet applications as the usability for
a wheelchair user is very difficult.
5.3 Standard toilet
1) A standard toilet is not designed to be accessible to a wheelchair user.
2) The minimum door usable width shall be 500 mm.
— This shall be assessed according to Figures 1 and 2a
— There are to be no protrusions into the minimum usable width of 500 mm in its open position,
such as handles or other features, from the floor up to a minimum of 1 950 mm as shown in
Figures 1 and 2. Also see 5.2, 11)
— Minimum door usable width of a manual hinged door includes the swept envelope and should
ensure that no part of the door shall be in that area when open. See Figure 2a.

Figure 1 and Figure 2b.
4) Where the door is semi-automatic, it shall be possible to open it partially in order to allow a
wheelchair user’s assistant to leave and re-enter the toilet module.
i. Allowing the wheelchair users assistant to activate the door open control, exit the toilet
compartment and then press the door control to close the door without it having to finish a
complete open cycle.
ii. The assistant can then wait outside the closed but unlocked door until they are required to re-
enter the compartment whereby, they can partially open the door, enter and then close the door
without it having to finish a complete open cycle.
5) The exterior of the door shall be marked with a sign.
— Assessment shall be according to prEN 16584-2:2022
6) There shall be sufficient space inside the toilet compartment to enable a wheelchair as defined in
Annex A to:
