Railway applications - Design for PRM use - Equipment and components on board rolling stock - Part 3: Clearways and internal doors
This European Standard describes the specific ‘Design for PRM use’ requirements applying to
both infrastructure and rolling stock and the assessment of those requirements. The following
applies to this standard:
— The definitions and requirements describe specific aspects of ‘Design for PRM use’ required
by persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility as defined in the PRM TSI.
— This standard defines elements which are universally valid for obstacle free travelling
including lighting, contrast, tactile feedback, transmission of visual and acoustic
information. The definitions and requirements of this standard cover the infrastructure and
the rolling stock applications.
— This standard only refers to aspects of accessibility for PRM passengers; it does not define
non PRM related requirements and definitions.
— This standard assumes that the infrastructure or rolling stock is in its defined operating
condition.
— Where minimum or maximum dimensions are quoted these are absolute NOT nominal requirements.
— This standard is not specifically intended for Urban Rail, however these standards or clauses from these standards can be adopted by Urban Rail projects should they choose to do so.
The 'Equipment and Components' standard is written in three parts:
— this document is Part 3 and contains:
— clearways;
— internal doors.;

3 Terms and definitions
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
3.1
automatic door
powered door which opens and closes without the need for the passenger to operate a control device
3.2
clear width
clear usable width
unobstructed width of an open door or clearway to allow all passengers, including PRM, to pass through
3.3
clearway
unobstructed space with defined widths and heights to allow movement within a vehicle
3.4
first step
step that is the first step for a passenger to use, to overcome a height change
Note 1 to entry: For the external access/egress steps this will normally be the step that is closest to the platform
edge (fixed or moveable step), therefore this is the first step when boarding and the last step when alighting.
Note 2 to entry: In the context of steps for internal height changes (other than the external access/egress steps) this
means the first usable step when ascending and the edge of the walking floor when descending.
3.5
gangway
means for passengers to pass from one vehicle of a train to the adjacent vehicle and includes the inter-
vehicle connection device and any aisle (e.g. between body end cupboards, cabinets or toilets)
immediately adjacent to the device
Note 1 to entry: This definition is intentionally different from EN 16286-1.
3.6
inter-vehicle gangway
articulating device allowing transit between vehicles (provided for passenger use)
Note 1 to entry: This definition is similar to the definition in EN 16286-1 for gangway system.

3.7
handrail
continuous element with round cross section for passengers to use to aid personal stability by gripping
around

manual door
unpowered door which the passenger has to physically open and/or close
3.10
palm operable
operable by the palm or any part of the hand, not requiring fingers to be unclenched
Note 1 to entry: The design need is that passengers with painful conditions, which affect their joints such as arthritis,
may be unable to (and are likely to experience discomfort or pain if they do) exert any force with the tip of a single
finger. Many may not be able to unclench their fingers to do this or perform any pulling action.
3.11
proximity sensor
sensor that can be used to control facilities without the control device being physically touched
3.12
semi-automatic door
powered door which opens and/or closes following operation of a control device by a passenger
3.13
step nose (nosing)
intersection point of the projections of horizontal and vertical surfaces of a step
Note 1 to entry: This is illustrated in prEN 16586-1:2022, Annex B showing example step noses.
3.14
universal toilet
toilet designed to be used by all passengers including passengers in wheelchairs
3.15
usable width
unobstructed width of an open door or passageway allowing for passengers to pass through
3.16
wheelchair
wheeled personal mobility device

5 Requirements and assessment
5.1 General
All dimensions in the figures are in millimetres (mm) unless otherwise stated.
5.2 Doors
5.2.1 General
1) These requirements apply only to doors providing access to another public part of the train, with the
exclusion of toilet doors.
— When assessing these requirements, they are only applicable to doors that provide access to
parts of the train that are intended for use by the travelling public. (This excludes, for example,
train crew only areas and equipment cupboards).
2) To latch or unlatch a manually operated door for use by the public, the control device shall:
i. Be palm operable of the hand.
— Assessment shall be as described in Clause 6.
ii. Be operable by exerting a force not exceeding 20 N.
— Assessment of force required to operate a control device shall be by pulling or pushing the
device depending on its normal mode of operation with the representative clenched fist as
8
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16585-3:2022
prEN 16585-3:2022 (E)
described in Clause 6 with a ‘force gauge’ or 'force meter' until the door is latched or
unlatched. See Annex A for an example force meter.
3) Door controls, whether manual, pushbuttons or other devices shall:
i. Contrast with the surface on which they are mounted
— Contrast shall be assessed according to prEN 16584-1:2022.
ii. Have visual indication, on or around it when enabled
— Visual indication shall be assessed according to prEN 16584-2:2022.
— This requirement shall only be assessed for electrical devices requiring a physical force to
be applied in order to operate.
iii. Be palm operable of the hand exerting a force not greater than 15 N
— Assessment of force required to operate a control device shall be by pulling or pushing the
device depending on its normal mode of operation with the representative clenched fist as
described in Clause 6 with a ‘force gauge’ or 'force meter' until the door is latched or
unlatched. See Annex A for an example force meter.
iv. Be identifiable by touch this identification shall indicate the functionality.
— 'Identifiable by touch' in this context shall be assessed as tactile (for example tactile
markings) according to prEN 16584-2:2022.
v. If both the ‘open’ and ‘close’ door control devices are fitted one above the other: the top button
shall always be the open control.
— To be subject to this requirement the buttons do not need to be directly one above the other.
4) For systems that are operated by proximity sensors the requirements in 5.2.1 (3) do not apply.
Proximity sensors should detect objects (for example a guide dog) at a minimum of 500 mm and
upwards from the walking floor.
5.2.2 Interior doors
1) Internal automatic and semi-automatic doors shall incorporate devices that prevent passengers
becoming trapped during operation of the doors.
— Assessment for Exterior doors closing peak force shall be according to the standard value and
