Applications ferroviaires - Conditionnement de l'air pour matériel roulant grandes lignes - Paramètres de bien-être et essais de type

La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux véhicules ferroviaires de grandes lignes transportant des voyageurs. Elle ne s'applique pas aux véhicules de banlieue, métros, tramways et cabines de conduite.
La présente Norme européenne précise les paramètres de bien-être des compartiments ou salles (à un seul ou deux niveaux).
Les paramètres de bien-être s’appliquent d’une façon analogue aux locaux réservés au personnel d’accompagnement du train.
La norme précise également les conditions et les méthodes de mesure des paramètres de bien-être des compartiments ou salles.

Železniške naprave - Klimatske naprave za železniška vozila za dolge proge - Parametri za določevanje udobja in tipski preskus

Ta evropski standard se uporablja za železniška vozila glavnih železniških prog, ki prevažajo potnike. Ne uporablja se za vozila za primestni železniški promet, metroje, tramvaje in voznikove kabine.
Ta evropski standard vzpostavlja parametre za določevanje udobja za kupeje ali salonske vagone (eno- ali dvonadstropne).
Ti parametri za določevanje udobja se podobno uporabljajo za prostore, namenjene izključno vlakovnemu osebju.
Standard določa tudi pogoje in metode meritve parametrov za določevanje udobja za kupeje ali salonske vagone.
