From this come the performance requirements specific to each case that only the customer is able to specify. The requirements of the standard should be applied jointly to the supply conditions for the air spring control elements. This standard puts into concrete form the studies and work carried out to improve the performance and quality of the air spring control elements in order to meet the requirements of modern rail transport equipment.
This standard is intended for the users of rail networks, manufacturers and suppliers of rail equipment and suppliers of air brake control elements. SIST EN 14817:2006

Condition Temperature range Definition A TNmin to TNmax Subjected to any temperature in this range, all the nominal values of the control element characteristics shall be met. B TEmin to TNmin and TNmax to TEmax Subjected to any temperature in this range, the control element shall function without incident. Evolution of the characteristics is allowed as long as this does not cause any malfunction of the air suspension. Therefore, the specific requirements to ensure correct functioning of the air suspension shall be defined in the technical specification. C TSmin to TEmin and TEmax to TSmax When the control element is not being used (for example: storage, prolonged immobilization of the vehicle), it shall withstand any temperature in this range without deterioration. Its characteristics shall return as soon as conditions A and B are attained.
The extreme temperatures shall be specified in the technical specification.
Otherwise, the following values shall be considered:

In this case, the acceptance criteria shall be the subject of an agreement between the customer and the supplier. Table 6 gives, for each protection level, the definition of the protection against water penetration of the assembled control element under operating conditions. The level of protection against water penetration shall be defined in the technical specification by specifying the alphanumerical symbol Hi.
Otherwise, protection level H1 applies. Table 6 — Protection against water penetration
Symbol Hi Definition H1 The control element shall be watertight when subjected to drops of water falling perpendicularly.
