Railway applications - Braking - Requirements for the brake system of trains hauled by locomotives

This European Standard specifies basic requirements for the braking of trains hauled by locomotives:
-   For trains hauled by locomotives and intended for use in general operation each vehicle is fitted with the traditional brake system with a brake pipe compatible with the UIC brake system.
NOTE   This ensures technical compatibility of the brake function between vehicles of various origins in a train (see 5.4).
-   For trains hauled by locomotives and intended for use in fixed or predefined formation, the requirements on the vehicle and the train are necessary. In the case of a UIC brake system, this standard applies; if not, the EN 16185 series or the EN 15734 series applies.
If concerned, the UIC brake architecture described in this standard (see 5.4) can be used for brakes for multiple unit train and high speed trains and urban rail described in the EN 13452 series, the EN 16185 series and the EN 15734 series.
This European Standard also takes into account electrical and electronic control functions and additional brake systems like dynamic brakes and adhesion independent brakes.
The brake system requirements, which are specific for on-track machines are set out in EN 14033 1.
This European Standard does not apply to Urban Rail rolling stock braking system, which is specified by EN 13452 1.

Bahnanwendungen - Bremsen - Anforderungen an die Bremsausrüstung lokbespannter Züge

Diese Europäische Norm legt grundsätzliche Anforderungen an die Bremsung von lokbespannten Zügen fest:
-   Für lokbespannte Züge zur Verwendung im allgemeinen Betrieb wird jedes Fahrzeug mit einem herkömmlichen Bremssystem mit einer Hauptluftleitung, die mit dem UIC-Bremssystem kompatibel ist, ausgestattet.
ANMERKUNG   Dies stellt die technische Kompatibilität der Bremsfunktion zwischen Fahrzeugen verschiedener Herkünfte in einem Zugverband sicher (siehe 5.4).
-   Für lokbespannte Züge zur Verwendung in festen oder vordefinierten Zugverbänden sind die Anforderungen bezüglich Fahrzeug und Zug notwendig. Im Falle eines UIC-Bremssystems ist diese Norm anwendbar, falls nicht, greift die Reihe EN 16185 oder die Reihe EN 15734.
Im Zweifelsfall kann die UIC-Bremsenarchitektur, die in dieser Norm beschrieben wird (siehe 5.4), für Bremsen von Triebzügen und Hochgeschwindigkeitszügen sowie für städtische Eisenbahnen, wie in den Reihen EN 13452, EN 16185 und EN 15734 beschrieben, verwendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm berücksichtigt ebenfalls die elektrischen und elektronischen Steuerungs  und Regelungsfunktionen sowie zusätzliche Bremssysteme, wie dynamische Bremsen und kraftschluss-unabhängige Bremsen.
Die Anforderungen an das Bremssystem von schienengebundenen Maschinen sind in EN 14033 1 enthalten.
Diese Europäische Norm ist nicht für Bremssysteme der Schienenfahrzeuge des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs nach EN 13452 1 anzuwenden.

Applications ferroviaires - Freinage - Exigences concernant le système de freinage des trains tractés par locomotive

La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences fondamentales pour le freinage de trains remorqués par locomotive :
-   pour les trains remorqués par locomotive et destinés à l’utilisation pour exploitation conventionnelle, chaque véhicule est équipé d’une architecture classique de système de freinage avec une conduite générale, compatible avec un système de freinage UIC ;
NOTE   Cela permet d’assurer la compatibilité technique de la fonction de freinage entre différents véhicules d’origines différentes dans un train (voir 5.4).
-   pour les trains remorqués par locomotive et destinés à l’utilisation en composition fixe ou prédéfinie, les exigences sont applicables sur le véhicule et sur le train. Dans le cas d’un système de freinage UIC, la présente norme s’applique ; dans d’autres cas la série de normes EN 16185 ou la série de normes EN 15734 s’appliquent.
Le cas échéant, l’architecture du système de freinage UIC décrite dans la présente norme (voir 5.4) peut être utilisée pour les freins des trains à unités multiples, pour les trains à grande vitesse et pour le rail urbain, décrites dans la série de normes EN 13452, EN 16185 et EN 15734.
La présente Norme européenne prend en compte les fonctions de commande électriques et électroniques et des systèmes de freinage supplémentaires, tels que les freins dynamiques et les freins qui ne dépendent pas de l’adhérence.
Les exigences relatives aux systèmes de freinage spécifiques aux machines de construction et de maintenance empruntant exclusivement les voies ferrés sont définies dans l’EN 14033-1.
La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas aux systèmes de freinage du matériel roulant du Rail Urbain, qui sont spécifiés dans l’EN 13452-1.

5 Requirements
5.1 General requirements of the train braking system
The purpose of the train braking system is to ensure that the train’s speed can be reduced or
maintained on a slope, or that the train can be stopped within the maximum allowable braking distance.
Braking also provides the immobilization of a train either for a certain period of time or permanently
when it is not in operation or without any energy on board.
Units designed and assessed to be operated in general operation (various formations of vehicles from
different origins; train formation not defined at the design stage) shall be fitted with a technically
compatible brake system to ensure the brake function in all vehicles of the train.
5.2 General safety requirements
5.2.1 Design principles
The design, construction or assembly, maintenance and monitoring of safety-critical components, and
more particularly of the components involved in train movements, shall ensure safety at the level

corresponding to the aims laid down for the respective railway network. The braking techniques and
the stresses exerted shall be compatible with the design of the tracks, engineering structures and
signalling systems. Brake systems shall conform to the following:
— the design principles listed in the standards on brake systems referred to in Clause 2 – normative
references;
— the brake performances defined in Clause 6;
— the design principles in accordance with the requirements of this standard;
— keeping within the specified effects on the infrastructure, particularly regarding EMC and noise
emissions.
In the course of the system design, risks shall be considered and mitigated. As a minimum, the following
hazards shall be taken into account:
a) the brake force applied is greater than the maximum design level:
1) impact on track shifting forces;
2) excessive jerk (impact on standing passengers);
3) significant damage to the contact surface of the wheels or friction partners;
4) impact on load assumptions in the fatigue life of the components generating the b
