Railway applications - Platform barrier systems
This European Standard specifies requirements for the design, construction and operation of platform barrier systems positioned at the edge of a station platform immediately adjacent to rail or other guided vehicles in stations and boarding points for passenger services and includes:
- requirements for the fixed structure and fixed parts along the platform;
- physical requirements for the movable doors and gates normally used by passengers;
- requirements for emergency doors;
- requirements for driver access doors;
- requirements for platform extremity doors;
- requirements for management of safety risks that are particular to barrier systems.
This European Standard also gives requirements for the integration of barriers with the overall rail system including:
- synchronization of vehicle and platform barrier doors or gates;
- audible and visible alerts;
- integrity of control systems;
- testing of the barrier installation;
- operational performance;
- requirements relating to other interfacing sub-systems, notably signalling and vehicles.
For barrier systems set back from the platform edge, which are used to control access to trains or for crowd management, relevant sections of the document can be used as guidance.
This European Standard applies to all actors involved in the implementation and system integration of a platform barrier system, including owners, designers, installers and operators.
This European Standard does not cover barrier systems using bars, ropes, etc. or which operate in a vertical direction. Nevertheless, compliance with relevant clauses from this document can be used in developing safety justifications for these alternative types of barrier system.
This European Standard applies to light rail services, e.g. metro and tramway systems and heavy rail services as requested by a project specification. It applies to small systems, working in conjunction with a single vehicle, or with larger systems working with a complete train.
This European Standard applies to platform barrier systems used at sub-surface stations, enclosed surface stations (e.g. those enclosed for the purposes of providing an air-conditioned environment for waiting passengers), and those fully in the open-air.
This European Standard does not cover normative requirements relating to fire performance or fire requirements arising from use of platform barrier systems as fire barriers.

- Leistung im Betrieb;
- Anforderungen in Bezug auf andere verbundene Subsysteme, vor allem Signaltechnik und Fahrzeuge.
Für entfernt von der Bahnsteigkante platzierte Barrieresysteme, die zur Regelung des Zugangs zu Zügen oder zur Lenkung von Menschenmengen verwendet werden, können die entsprechenden Abschnitte des Dokuments als Leitlinie genutzt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für alle Akteure, die an der Umsetzung und Systemintegration eines Bahnsteig-Barrieresystems beteiligt sind, einschließlich Eigentümer, Konstrukteure, Monteure und Betreiber.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Barrieresysteme mit Stäben, Seilen usw. oder Systeme, die in vertikaler Richtung betrieben werden. Dennoch kann die Einhaltung der entsprechenden Abschnitte dieses Dokuments bei der Entwicklung von Sicherheitsbegründungen für diese alternativen Arten von Barrieresystemen genutzt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt je nach Anforderung durch eine Projektspezifikation für städtische Schienen-bahnen, z. B. U Bahn- und Straßenbahnsysteme, und Eisenbahnen. Sie gilt für kleine Systeme, die in Verbindung mit einem einzelnen Fahrzeug betrieben werden, oder für größere Systeme mit kompletten Zügen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Bahnsteig-Barrieresysteme die in unterirdischen Stationen, geschlossenen Stationen an der Oberfläche (z. B. Stationen, die zur Bereitstellung einer klimatisierten Umgebung für wartende Fahrgäste geschlossen sind) und in Stationen, die sich komplett unter freiem Himmel befinden, zur Anwendung kommen.
Diese Europäische Norm deckt keine normativen Anforderungen in Bezug auf Brandschutzeigenschaften oder Anforderungen an das Brandverhalten, die sich aus der Nutzung der Bahnsteig-Barrieresysteme als Brandschutzbarrieren ergeben.

European foreword
This document (prEN 17168:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway
applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Introduction
Platform barrier systems provide a moveable barrier between trains and other guided transit vehicles,
and passengers waiting at stations and boarding points.
Platform barrier systems are used increasingly on metro and other rail networks to ensure the safety of
passengers on the station platform who are waiting to board vehicles. Such systems are also used on
‘people-mover’ guided systems for short-distance transits, for example at airports. Their use is
recommended by IEC 62267 for any fully automated transit system.
In particular platform barrier systems can be used to control the risks of:
— incursion by passengers or other persons on the railway track (deliberate or accidental);
— contact between passengers and moving vehicles.
These risks can be especially significant where there is the possibility of overcrowding on station
platforms at busy locations. Barriers can in fact increase the safely useable space in the station for
passengers waiting and circulating on the platforms.
Platform barrier systems integrate the operation of the platform barrier doors and gates with opening
and closing of train doors and also assist in the management of station operations, to safely permit
higher entry and exit speeds for trains serving the stations.
Barrier installations can also be part of a continuous partition between the running tracks and the
station areas for the purposes of:
— fire safety (including smoke management);
— tunnel and station ventilation;
— trackside noise reduction;
— passenger comfort at climate controlled stations.
Additionally the terminology used in connection with platform barrier systems; in particular to improve
the specification and understanding of safety requirements, should be standardized.
