Railway applications - Design requirements for steps, handrails and associated staff access - Part 2: Freight wagons
This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for ergonomic and structural integrity of steps and handrails used together to give staff access to freight wagons. It does not cover ladders, top platforms and top gangways. It defines in particular the required spaces necessary for handling of screw couplings with side buffers, for shunter handrails, for shunter’s stand, for steps and handrails.

EN 16116-2:2013 (E) 4 Introduction To achieve an undisturbed, reliable and safe operation of freight trains it is essential to define common requirements for safe access and egress for rolling stock of interoperable trains with respect to e.g. structural requirements, operating characteristics, way of operation, maintenance as well as their handling. Coupling of freight wagons by means of screw couplings is usually done by personnel. The design of freight wagons needs to be suitable to meet these functions without exposing staff to undue risk. Freight wagons require sufficient space for their coupling and uncoupling by staff without any rigid features impeding accessibility to the screw coupler. Also there is a need for provision of suitable footsteps and handrails for personnel, to allow temporary travel outside the vehicle during shunting as well as to access the vehicle. If wagons according to TSI-FW are equipped with steps and handholds, these needs apply to all designs of vehicle. To achieve an undisturbed, reliable and safe operation it is therefore essential to harmonise the functional requirements and characteristic dimensions and assess and permanently ensure their suitability for interoperable traffic.

The mechanical strength of the material used for all kind of handrails and steps, where the properties according to 4.2.2 are not required, shall be as a minimum that of EN 10025-2, grade S235JR.
4.2 Steps 4.2.1 General Steps shall be made with non-slip surface. This should be a metal grating, see Figure 1, Pos. 1 or Pos. 2. For all other solutions the following characteristics shall be fulfilled: Resistance to friction The average value of the friction coefficient measured in three directions (lengthwise, breadthwise and diagonally) shall reach the following minimum values: a) in dry condition
= 0,65 b) in wet condition (water) = 0,65 c) in oiled condition
= 0,30 Friction coefficient values shall be ascertained by means of a 100 mm × 100 mm movable plate, on which a rubber pad with 80 shore hardness shall be glued; this plate shall be loaded with a weight of 75 kg. For the measurements carried out with water and oil, the grating shall be fully immersed. SIST EN 16116-2:2014
EN 16116-2:2013 (E) 7 Mechanical strength Metal gratings shall withstand, without residual deformation, a horizontal compression force of at least 4 kN, exerted parallel and at right angles to the edge of the step board, and of at least 8 kN exerted diagonally in relation to the edge of the step board. Elastic deformations shall not exceed 10 mm. Grating structure To ensure that the gratings are sufficiently well-adapted to winter conditions, a ratio of at least 50 % of "void" area to total area shall be observed. Only apertures with a minimum area of 400 mm2 shall be taken into account to determine this ratio. NOTE The "void" area is the free space afforded by the grating apertures in the vertical direction. 4.2.2 Shunter's step The material for the steps support shall be S355J2C + N in accordance with EN 10025-2. Cold forming for steps support is not allowed. The shunter's step is shown in Figure 1. The grating according to Figure 1 is mandatory. For specific operation the size of the step of the shunter’s stand can be reduced to 270 mm x 225 mm. The surface protection (e.g. hot-galvanised) should provide an adequate service life.

The minimum distance in vertical direction at steps for platforms and gangways (example in B.1) shall be: If there are more than one step, the vertical distance between the steps and platform shall not be less than 360 mm and not more than 400 mm. An equal distance of 365 mm should be preferred. The lateral recess between the second and the lowest step shall be 80 mm. 4.3 Handrails 4.3.1 General If there are no deviating indications in the drawings, the handrails shall be made from round-bar steel with minimum diameter of 20 mm or pipe steel.
