Railway applications - Design for PRM use - General requirements - Part 3: Optical and friction characteristics
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 ‘General requirements’ standard is written in three parts:
— This document is Part 3 and contains:
— lighting;
— low reflective properties;
— transparent obstacles;
— slip resistance.

— Part 2: Information (EN 16584-2)
— Part 3: Optical and friction characteristics (EN 16584-3)
— EN 16585 is a standard that covers rolling stock — Railway applications — Design for PRM use —
Equipment and components onboard rolling stock:
— Part 1: Toilets (EN 16585-1)
— Part 2: Elements for sitting, standing and moving (EN 16585-2)
— Part 3: Clearways and internal doors (EN 16585-3)
— EN 16586 is a standard that covers rolling stock — Railway applications — Design for PRM use —
Accessibility of persons with reduced mobility to rolling stock:
— Part 1: Steps for access and egress (EN 16586-1)
— Part 2: Boarding aids (EN 16586-2)
— EN 16587 is a standard that covers infrastructure — Railway applications — Design for PRM use —
Requirements for obstacle-free routes for infrastructure.

3.1
contrast
perception of a difference visually between one surface or element of a building/rail vehicle and another
by reference to their light reflectance values (LRV) or luminance values
Note 1 to entry: See BS 8300-1 and BS 8300-2 for further information.
3.2
Light Reflectance Value (LRV)
total quantity of visible light that is reflected by a surface at all wavelengths and directions when
illuminated by a light source
Note 1 to entry: The measured range of LRV is between 0 points and 100 points.
3.3
low reflective properties
perception of a difference visually

3.4
pictogram
graphical symbol, diagram or figure with a particular meaning which directly represents or conveys its
meaning independently of language through a pictorial representation of a physical object, action or
character
Note 1 to entry: Refer to ISO 7001, ISO/TR 7239 and ISO 9186 (all parts) for rules regarding graphical symbols and
frames.
3.5
slip resistant
surface finish that is sufficiently rough or otherwise specially formulated so that friction between the
surface and a person's footwear or mobility aid is maintained at an acceptable level in both wet and dry
conditions
Note 1 to entry: Snow and ice are outside this definition and this standard, therefore other special measures (e.g.
operational) should be taken for steps and platforms etc that are exposed to these weather conditions.
3.6
spoken information
information audibly communicated in words
Note 1 to entry: This can be direct, pre-recorded or synthesized information.
3.7
station
any form of infrastructure where a train operates, and passengers can board or alight in normal operation
3.8
station building
any building or structure within the confines of the station in areas for use by passengers which can be
open at different times to the overall station
Note 1 to entry: This does not include other commercial structures that are not essential for travel.
3.9
transparent obstacle
obstacle that allows objects or images to be seen as if there were no intervening material, seen through
with a level of clarity
Note 1 to entry: Transparency in this standard is when an obstacle allows at least 50 % direct light transmission.
3.10
visual acuity
the threshold of the capacity of the eye to perceive fine details of a visual object (a sign), the
recognizability of which depends on the visual angle
3.11
visual information
written information, pictograms and markings
