Overview
EN 15877-2:2013/prA1 is a CEN draft amendment (A1) to the European standard EN 15877-2:2013 addressing external markings on railway vehicles - coaches, motive power units, locomotives and track machines. The amendment primarily updates Annex ZA to clarify the relationship between this standard and the Essential Requirements of Directive (EU) 2016/797 on rail system interoperability and the applicable Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs).
Keywords: EN 15877-2, railway vehicle markings, external markings, interoperability, Directive (EU) 2016/797, TSI, European Vehicle Number (EVN).
Key topics
- Scope of markings: External inscriptions and character symbols used on passenger rolling stock, locomotives, multiple units and track machines.
- Regulatory mapping (Annex ZA): How clauses of EN 15877-2 map to Essential Requirements in Directive (EU) 2016/797 and to TSIs for Rolling Stock (locomotives & passenger) and Operation & Traffic Management.
- Vehicle identification: References to the European Vehicle Identification Number (EVN) and related marking requirements (TSI Appendix H).
- Operational markings: Markings related to vehicle length (length over buffers, fixed train set length), positioning of markings, and lists of obligatory markings on bodywork.
- Maintenance and safety markings: Markings relevant to lifting, jacking, re-railing and provision of auxiliary equipment (e.g., electric power) as they affect safe handling and interoperability.
- Normative vs informative: Annex ZA is informative and provides a presumption of conformity pathway when the standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Applications
- Rolling stock manufacturers and designers: implement consistent external marking schemes to meet interoperability and TSI requirements.
- Railway operators and fleet managers: ensure vehicles bear mandatory markings (EVN, length identifiers, safety and lifting notices) for operational compliance.
- Maintenance and workshop personnel: use standardized lifting/re-railing and auxiliary power markings to enable safe jacking, towing and servicing.
- National standards bodies and regulatory authorities: apply the Annex ZA mapping for assessing conformity with Directive (EU) 2016/797 and related TSIs.
- Emergency responders and traffic management: rely on standardized external markings for rapid vehicle identification and handling.
Related standards and references
- Directive (EU) 2016/797 - Interoperability of the rail system (Essential Requirements)
- Commission Regulation (EU) No 1302/2014 and subsequent implementing acts (TSI Rolling Stock - locomotives & passenger rolling stock)
- Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/773 (TSI Operation & Traffic Management)
- EN 15877 series (other parts covering internal/explanatory marking topics)
This amendment clarifies legal linkage and conformity pathways for EN 15877-2:2013, helping stakeholders apply consistent, interoperable external marking practices across European rail systems.
