EN 16922:2017 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the interface requirements for controlled emission toilet equipment on railway vehicles and the infrastructure, including catering area sink waste retention tanks. Vehicle and infrastructure specific requirements are also given. The European Standard includes fixed and portable infrastructure equipment used to empty retention tanks, but excludes equipment fitted to railway vehicles where no fixed connections are used between vehicle and infrastructure. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1717, Protection against pollution of potable water in water installations and general requirements of devices to prevent pollution by backflow EN 12663-1, Railway applications - Structural requirements of railway vehicle bodies - Part 1: Locomotives and passenger rolling stock (and alternative method for freight wagons) EN 15877-2:2013, Railway applications - Markings of railway vehicles - Part 2: External markings on coaches, motive power units, locomotives and on track machines EN 16362:2013, Railway applications - Ground based services - Water restocking equipment EN 45545-2, Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 2: Requirements for fire behaviour of materials and components 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 railway infrastructure all installations required for the running of railway vehicles including operating and support facilities EXAMPLE Tracks, crossings, catenaries, signals, maintenance depots. 3.2 grey water waste water from hand wash and galley sinks, usually contaminated with soap, germicides, residues of food, drink and dish water 3.3 servicing point location where maintenance, refuelling and cleaning is carried out 3.4 controlled emission toilet toilet system where the toilet waste is retained on the vehicle and emptied at prescribed locations, including on board waste treatment systems which are permitted to discharge some wastes at various locations SIST EN 16922:2018



EN 16922:2017 (E) 5 4 General 4.1 Description of vacuum Vacuum can be expressed in different manners. Absolute vacuum is 0 bar and atmospheric pressure is nominally 1 bar (although this varies). When a vacuum pump evacuates 0,2 bar from a tank the remaining pressure within the tank is 0,8 bar (if the atmospheric pressure is 1 bar), but this can be expressed in a variety of ways. Therefore to avoid doubt, because the atmospheric pressure varies, throughout this standard vacuum is expressed as a negative number of bars below atmosphere (i.e. in the above example this is expressed within this standard as
« rá t bar). Positive pressure is expressed as bars above atmosphere, i.e. in this standard an absolute pressure of 3 bar is shown as +2 bar. 4.2 Description of controlled emission toilet systems There are five generic types of controlled emission toilets fitted to railway vehicles considered in this standard, shown diagrammatically in Annex A. 5 Requirements 5.1 General requirements Each vehicle and servicing point shall be clearly marked with the type of system that is fitted, or intended to be used for. Adjacent to the connection on the vehicle and infrastructure the background, or if there is no background, an area beside the connection with a minimum dimension 60 mm x 60 mm, shall be coloured as shown in Table 1 and marked with the wording shown in Table 1 in the native language of the servicing point or the home depot of the vehicle and also at least in English. The labels shall be in a contrasting colour to the background colour. Table 1 — Identification of toilet system Type of system Background colour The size of background colour shall be at least 60 mm x 60 mm: Wording of label beside 3” connection Wording of label beside 1” connection Wording of label beside high pressure water connection Compact system Green Toilet discharge Flushing pipe Not applicable On line vacuum Green Toilet discharge Flushing pipe Not applicable Permanent vacuum Red Toilet discharge, ensure ventilation is open Flushing pipe Not applicable Chemical Blue Chemical toilet discharge Flushing and chemical addition Not applicable On board waste treatment (e.g. bioreactor) Yellow On board waste treatment toilet discharge and cleaning On board waste treatment water inlet and suction On board waste treatment high pressure water Catering area sink waste retention Grey Catering area sink waste Not applicable Not applicable SIST EN 16922:2018

Vehicles fitted with on board waste treatment system are permitted to have the 3” connection on one side, but it is preferable to have on both sides. For toilet waste retention tanks each such vehicle, excluding locomotives, shall also be fitted with a flushing connection as shown in Figure 3. On vehicles fitted with a chemical toilet system (Annex A, Figure A.4) the flushing connection shall be fitted on each side of the vehicle, for all other toilet systems the flushing connection shall be as a minimum of one side of the vehicle. As design guidance it is preferable to have the flushing connection on both sides. It is also preferable to fit flushing connections for catering area sink waste tanks. Provision of the flushing connection reduces maintenance costs and increases efficiency of cleaning operations of the tank. SIST EN 16922:2018

EN 16922:2017 (E) 8 The connections on the vehicle shall be between 500 mm and 1 500 mm above rail level, measured to the centre of the connection. They shall not be recessed further than 100 mm deeper than the vehicle bodyline. Where the connections are set back from the vehicle bodyline contained within a box structure, the floor of the box shall be sloping outwards so that water cannot be retained in the enclosed box and always drains to the outside of the vehicle. The connections shall have space around them as detailed in Figure 4 and Figure 5 to allow connection of the pipe – this does not have to be all the way around the connection but shall be for the direction the pipe connection rotates (i.e. the space around connection does not have to be circular but is permitted to be rectangular or oval). When a manual valve is included in the connection area, the space around the connection shall permit the opening and closing operations. Dimensions in millimetres

They shall be a minimum 500 mm apart, or separated by a mechanical barrier. The mechanical barrier shall be impervious to stop spillage from the 3” connection contaminating the water filling connection point. Where the 3” connection and water filling connection are in the same area of the vehicle (whether separated by 500 mm or a mechanical barrier) the 3” connection shall always be lower, as shown in Figure 6. Where a mechanical barrier is fitted between 3” connection and water filling connection it shall include a cover flap that opens between the connections. In addition to the background colour and label detailed in 5.1, the connections shall be marked as shown in EN 15877-2:2013, 4.5.16, Figure 50. SIST EN 16922:2018

The amount of fluid used to flush shall be sufficient to reliably clean the toilet bowl. As design guidance it is normal for 0,4 l per use to be considered as a minimum, and 0,5 l as an aspirational norm to flush the toilet bowl. Lesser volumes are acceptable for urinal type fittings. The design of toilet system shall permit the use of the toilet even when the train is stationary and when within a station area. As design guidance it is normal for retention tank systems to enable the use in stations, but consideration should be given to the on board waste treatment type system where it is normal to prevent waste water discharge when the train is not moving. The design of toilet system shall permit the emptying of the retention tank(s) using a minimum vacuum of
« rá u bar at the 3” connection. The system shall be capable to withstand a maximum vacuum of
«0,8 bar applied at the 3” connection. 5.2.3 Temperature of operation 5.2.3.1 Standard temperature range The toilet system shall be designed and insulated such that: — with the vehicle heating system operational the toilet system shall function without perturbation at external temperature of
« t r °C; — the toilet system shall function normally after the heating system is turned off with the vehicle internal temperature of 20
¹C and external temperature of
« s r °C for 12 h, and then the vehicle internal temperature returned to 20 °C. SIST EN 16922:2
