SIST EN 16116-1:2014
EN 16116-1:2013 (E) 4 Introduction Locomotives, luggage vans and passenger rolling stock are designed so that staff are not exposed to undue risk during coupling and access to the vehicle or to special equipment. It is therefore essential to define common requirements for rolling stock. SIST EN 16116-1:2014
EN 16116-1:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the minimum ergonomic and structural integrity requirements for steps and handrails used by railway staff to access passenger vehicles, luggage vans, locomotives and power units of rolling stock.

4 General requirements for steps and handrails Steps and handrails shall withstand the loads applied by staff. For confidence in the safety of steps and handrails an appropriate stiffness should be provided. The corresponding stiffness criteria (permissible elastic deformation under load) for steps and handrails are optional and should be defined in the specification. The following requirements shall be demonstrated by analyses or tests: steps used as a safe working position for the shunter shall be able to withstand separately acting forces of 2 kN vertically and 1,5 kN laterally or longitudinally, applied by staff at any point without causing permanent deformation to it or its fixings, other steps shall be capable of withstanding separately acting forces of 1,5 kN vertically and 1,5 kN laterally or longitudinally, applied by staff at any point without causing permanent deformation to it or its fixings, SIST EN 16116-1:2014
EN 16116-1:2013 (E) 7 handrails shall be capable of withstanding a force applied by staff of 1,5 kN at any point in any direction without causing permanent deformation to it or its fixings. When demonstrated by tests it is recommended that the component is preloaded to stabilise any residual stresses induced during manufacture and the maximum force is applied at least twice. The results of the final tests shall not show permanent deformations. Handrails shall not have any sharp edges; where handrails have a rectangular section the corners shall be rounded. Unless otherwise specified in this standard, the cross sectional dimensions shall be:
for round shape between 20 mm and 35 mm or for oval shape: minimum dimension of 12 mm thickness and 35 mm width and maximum dimension of 40 mm. Unless otherwise specified in this standard, the handrails should have a minimum clearance of 100 mm that may be reduced to a minimum of 40 mm if necessary. Steps and handrails used by staff shall be secured as follows: with positive locking or with bolts of adequate length and appropriate self-locking or with high-strength lock ring-bolts or welded into place in accordance with EN 15085. All steps shall be made with a non slip surface and shall not have sharp edges causing obstacles for the shoes of the staff.
Steps or platforms used as a safe working position for the shunter, walkways and access steps to the platform and drivers cab at shunting powered units which could be covered with ice because they are not sheltered from weather conditions shall be made of metal gratings and fulfil the following criteria: 1) Resistance to friction: The average value of the coefficient of friction measured in 3 directions (lengthwise, widthwise and diagonally) shall reach the following minimum values: a) in dry and wet (water) condition: 0,65 b) in oiled condition: 0,30 Coefficient of friction 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. 2) 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 that can be penetrated by a ball-shaped object with a diameter of 10 mm and have 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. Examples which fulfil the above criteria are given in Annex A. SIST EN 16116-1:2014
EN 16116-1:2013 (E) 8 Other steps which are not sheltered from weather conditions should be sufficiently well-adapted to conditions in relation with their use.
All dimensions given in this standard with respect to top of rail shall be derived for vehicles in working order standing on a horizontal track.
5 Requirements for handling screw couplings with side buffers 5.1 General Vehicles which have to be coupled to trains of variable consist by screw couplings shall provide: safe working positions for the shunter at each vehicle end fitted with screw couplings, a shunter handrail under each buffer and reserved spaces for safe operation by the shunter. A safe working position shall be accessible from both sides of the vehicle from 200 mm below top of rail. If defined in the specification, a safe working position for the shunter may be omitted on the vehicle (e.g. dining cars or sleeping cars with side end doors only on one vehicle end or according to national regulations). In this case other operational solutions shall allow shunting of such vehicles and this shall be defined in the specification. On passenger coaches and luggage vans fitted with side end doors, where there are no outside handholds or steps for passengers, when the door is closed, special handrails and steps for shunters may be omitted. In this case, the inner handrails and the inner door steps shall serve as a working position for the shunter when the door is open. The shunter shall have the possibility to open the doors from outside or inside and sliding doors shall not cause danger to the shunter during the shunting process. Powered units that are exclusively or mainly intended for shunting purposes shall be provided at least at one end with a transverse platform accessible from both sides. For the different types of vehicles, the following Table 1 provides the requirements for the working position and reserved spaces for the shunter and the corresponding clauses of this standard for the detailed descriptions. To avoid the risk of train surfing, the safe working position based on steps and corresponding handrails, which are accessible when the doors are closed, is not allowed for passenger coaches.
