Railway applications - Bodyside entrance systems

The requirements of this European Standard apply to  passenger bodyside doors of all newly designed railway  vehicles such as tram, metro, suburban, mainline and high- speed trains that carry passengers. The requirements of this  European Standard also apply to existing vehicles undergoing  refurbishment of the door equipment, as far as it is reasonably  practicable. This European Standard makes reference to  manual and power operated doors. For manual doors clauses  referring to power operation are not applicable. This European  Standard does not apply to doors for equipment access,  inspection or maintenance purposes and for crew only use.  Doors or hatches specifically provided for escape of  emergency conditions are excluded.

Straßenbahnen, U-Bahnen, S-Bahnen und Regionalbahnen, Fernverkehrsbahnen und Hochgeschwindigkeitsbahnen. Die Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm gelten auch, sofern es vernünftigerweise durchführbar ist, für vorhandene Fahrzeuge, bei denen die Türanlage modernisiert wird.
Diese Europäische Norm bezieht sich auf handbetätigte und angetriebene Türen. Bei handbetätigten Türen gelten die Abschnitte, die sich auf einen Antrieb beziehen, nicht.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Türen, die dem Zugang zur Ausrüstung oder zu Inspektions- oder Instandhaltungszwecken oder nur dem Zugang des Zugpersonals dienen.
Türen oder Klappen, die ausschließlich für die Flucht in Notfällen vorgesehen sind, sind ausgenommen.

Les exigences de la présente Norme européenne s'appliquent aux portes d'acces voyageurs de tous les véhicules ferroviaires de conception nouvelle destinés aux LRV / Tram, aux métros, aux trains de banlieue, aux trains grande ligne et grande vitesse transportant des voyageurs. Les exigences de cette Norme européenne s'appliquent également aux véhicules existants dont on rénove les portes, pour autant qu'il soit raisonnable de les satisfaire.
La présente Norme européenne fait référence aux portes manuelles et motorisées. Pour les portes manuelles, les articles faisant référence a des opérations motorisées ne sont pas applicables.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux portes donnant acces aux équipements, ni a celles destinées aux activités d’inspection ou de maintenance, ni a celles réservées a l’usage des agents de train.

4.1.2.4 Protection against water
The steps shall be arranged to allow water to drain away from the anti-slip surface. The design shall prevent
water accumulation.
4.1.2.5 Manual operation
If the deployed step exceeds the vehicle gauge, under power failure conditions the step shall be manually
retractable to a stable closed position from the platform it was intended for.
The operation manuals shall include an instruction stating the step drive shall be isolated prior to manual
operation, if this is necessary to avoid a possible injury due to the activation of the automatic drive.
It shall be specified in the contract if the steps are deployable under power failure. Under this condition a
means of ensuring the stability of the open position and a facility for manual retraction shall be provided.
4.1.3 Track level access
If necessary, means shall be provided to ensure (e.g. of staff) safe access and egress to or from the track
level. Details need to be clarified in the contract.
4.1.4 Gaps between vehicles and platforms
The relative position of the step edge in relation to the vehicle body shell and vehicle floor (see Figure 3) shall
be defined in the contract. The gaps between threshold/steps and platforms shall be considered in order to
provide safe conditions for persons during access and egress.
4.1.5 Train surfing
Step edges, ledges or handholds on the outside surface of the door system shall be avoided or designed so
they are not accessible, when the doors are closed (so called “train surfing“).
4.1.6 Handholds
A handhold shall be provided at each doorway in order to assist passengers.
The handhold shall be placed inside the vehicle
 adjacent to each door panel or
 at doorways with more than one step, handholds shall be placed on both sides of the doorway.
The handhold shall be capable of withstanding a force of 1,5 kN applied at any point over its length at any
direction without causing any non-elastic deformation in it. Deformation on first loading shall not be considered
during testing.
The handhold should be coloured so that it stands out from its surrounding. The handhold shall be designed to
provide adequate grip.
4.1.7 Door windows
All door windows shall be fitted with safety glass. Where the distance of the lower edge of the door window is
less than 800 mm above floor level, a means of protection shall be provided to prevent passengers falling
through the window when broken.

SIST EN 14752:2006
EN 14752:2005 (E)
NOTE Protection is given by the use of laminated glass with positive support (e.g. bonding), mechanical elements
(e.g. a bar) or equivalent measures. If bars are used, they should be fitted such that they do not create hazards to
passengers.
4.2 Mechanical strength
4.2.1 Door mechanical strength
4.2.1.1 Passenger retention
The door system shall be capable of withstanding the forces that occur when passengers are leaning or falling
against the door panels without causing any non-elastic deformation or loss of operation (service force is
repetitive). Deformation on first loading shall not be considered during testing.
For this purpose a closed and locked door panel including the glazing shall withstand a pushing force applied
from inside the vehicle onto the door panel.
The load shall be represented by the application of a load distributed over a strip of 200 mm in height,
positioned 1 300 mm above car floor level. The value of this force shall be 1 000 N per linear metre over the
width of the exposed internal surface of the door (see also Figure 4). The locking system on sliding doors shall
withstand a force in opening direction of 1 200 N.
NOTE This requirement is in accordance with 4.12.3 (Class GT1) of EN 50125-1 for transversal acceleration.

4.2.1.2 Aerodynamic stresses
A door system shall be capable of withstanding the effects of pressure pulses as given in Annex F, applied
over the surface of the door without causing any non-elastic deformation or loss of operation. Deformation on
first loading shall not be considered during testing.
4.2.1.3 Vehicle gauge
Under normal operation the loads defined in 4.2.1.1 and 4.2.1.2 may cause elastic door deformations. The car
builder shall specify the acceptable limits so as not to infringe the kinematic gauge of the vehicle.
4.2.1.4 Vehicle overturning case
It shall be specified in the contract if the door strength is to be based on the vehicle overturning case.
During the vehicle overturning case, the door shall not break away. This is based on the passengers of a
crush laden train standing on the door (6 kN/m²). Non-elastic deformation is permissible.
NOTE EN 12663 provides typical passenger weight and density.
4.2.1.5 Ability to withstand vibration and shock
The door system shall be designed to withstand the effects of vibrations and shocks as defined for equipment
attachments in EN 12663.
If vibration and shock testing of sensitive mechanical components is specified in the contract, this shall be
carried out in accordance with EN 61373.
4.2.2 Step(s) mechanical strength
The following requirements shall apply:
 the steps shall be capable of withstanding a concentrated downward vertical load of 2 kN. This shall be
applied on an surface area of 100 mm × 200 mm at any position on the exposed step surface without
causing non-elastic deformation;
 the steps shall be capable of withstanding on their exposed surface a distributed downward vertical load
of 4 kN/m of step length without causing non-elastic deformation (see figure 5);
 deformation on first loading shall not be considered during testing;
 a mechanism shall be installed in order to maintain the stability of moveable steps in the deployed and
retracted position.
