Railway applications - Braking - Functional and performance criteria of Magnetic Track Brake systems for use in railway rolling stock
This European Standard specifies the functionality, position, constraints and control of a magnetic track brake system (MTB system) installed in bogies for use in emergency braking and in low adhesion conditions on Mainline Trains up to speeds of 280 km/h. It covers high suspension types of MTB only and not high/low and low suspension type of MTB.
This document also contains test methods and acceptance criteria for an MTB system. It identifies interfaces with electrical equipment, bogie, track and other brake systems.
On the basis of the existing international and national standards, additional requirements are defined for:
- conditions of application for the MTB system;
- retardation and brake forces;
- functional and design features;
- strength requirements;
- type, series and vehicle implementation tests.
For design and calculation a "reference surface" is established.

Overview
SIST EN 16207:2014/oprA1:2019 is a European standard that defines the functional and performance criteria for Magnetic Track Brake (MTB) systems in railway rolling stock. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), this standard applies specifically to high suspension MTB systems installed in bogies for use on mainline trains at speeds up to 280 km/h. The document outlines essential requirements for MTB systems, focusing on emergency braking and operation under low adhesion conditions.
This standard integrates current international and national guidelines, adding additional criteria for MTB system application, design, installation, and testing. It helps ensure MTB systems are safe, reliable, and interoperable within the European railway network.
Key Topics
- System Functionality and Position: Defines the intended function and physical location of the MTB system within a train’s bogie, ensuring compatibility with high-speed mainline trains.
- Application Conditions: Specifies when and how MTB systems should be used, particularly under emergency and low-adhesion scenarios.
- Retardation and Brake Forces: Sets criteria for the deceleration and braking forces MTB systems must achieve to ensure effective emergency stopping.
- Design and Functional Features: Details design requirements and the functional expectations for MTB systems, supporting ongoing safety and performance improvements.
- Testing and Acceptance: Establishes robust test methods and acceptance criteria, including type, series, and vehicle implementation tests.
- Integration Interfaces: Identifies necessary interfaces between MTB systems, electrical equipment, bogies, tracks, and other braking systems.
- Strength and Reliability: Incorporates strength requirements for MTB components and addresses reliability under varying operational conditions.
- Reference Surfaces: Provides design and calculation methods, including standardized reference surfaces for system evaluation.
Applications
- Emergency Braking: MTB systems as specified in this standard are critical for providing additional braking force during emergency stops, especially when conventional brakes may be less effective.
- Low Adhesion Operation: The standard targets situations where wheel-rail adhesion is reduced (e.g., wet, icy, or leaf-covered tracks), maintaining braking performance and increasing passenger safety.
- Mainline Train Integration: Designed for use on mainline passenger and freight trains, the standard ensures MTB systems can be deployed at speeds up to 280 km/h without compromising safety or operational efficiency.
- Interoperability Compliance: Adoption of this standard supports compliance with European interoperability regulations (per EU Directive 2008/57/EC), easing the certification process for rolling stock across borders.
