Railway applications - Braking - Requirements for the brake system of trains hauled by locomotives

This European Standard specifies basic requirements for the braking of trains hauled by locomotives:
-   For trains hauled by locomotives and intended for use in general operation each vehicle is fitted with the traditional brake system with a brake pipe compatible with the UIC brake system.
NOTE   This ensures technical compatibility of the brake function between vehicles of various origins in a train (see 5.4).
-   For trains hauled by locomotives and intended for use in fixed or predefined formation, the requirements on the vehicle and the train are necessary. In the case of a UIC brake system, this standard applies; if not, the EN 16185 series or the EN 15734 series applies.
If concerned, the UIC brake architecture described in this standard (see 5.4) can be used for brakes for multiple unit train and high speed trains and urban rail described in the EN 13452 series, the EN 16185 series and the EN 15734 series.
This European Standard also takes into account electrical and electronic control functions and additional brake systems like dynamic brakes and adhesion independent brakes.
The brake system requirements, which are specific for on-track machines are set out in EN 14033-1.
This European Standard does not apply to Urban Rail rolling stock braking system, which is specified by EN 13452-1.

Bahnanwendungen - Bremsen - Anforderungen an die Bremsausrüstung lokbespannter Züge

Diese Europäische Norm legt grundsätzliche Anforderungen an die Bremsung von lokbespannten Zügen fest:
—   Für lokbespannte Züge zur Verwendung im allgemeinen Betrieb wird jedes Fahrzeug mit einem herkömmlichen Bremssystem mit Hauptluftleitung, das mit dem UIC-Bremssystem kompatibel ist, ausgestattet.
ANMERKUNG   Dies stellt die technische Kompatibilität der Bremsfunktion zwischen Fahrzeugen verschiedener Herkünfte in einem Zugverband sicher (siehe 5.4).
—   Für lokbespannte Züge zur Verwendung in festen oder vordefinierten Zugverbänden sind die Anforderungen bezüglich Fahrzeug und Zug notwendig. Im Falle eines UIC-Bremssystems ist diese Norm anwendbar, falls nicht, greift die EN 16185 oder EN 15734.
Im Zweifelsfall kann die UIC-Bremsenarchitektur, die in dieser Norm beschrieben wird (siehe 5.4), für Bremsen von Triebzügen und Hochgeschwindigkeitszügen sowie für städtische Eisenbahnen, wie in EN 13452, EN 16185 und EN 15734 beschrieben, verwendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm berücksichtigt ebenfalls die elektrischen und elektronischen Steuerungs- und Regelungsfunktionen sowie zusätzliche Bremssysteme, wie dynamische Bremsen und kraftschluss-unabhängige Bremsen.
Die Anforderungen an das Bremssystem von schienengebundenen Maschinen sind in EN 14033 1 enthalten.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Bremssysteme der Schienenfahrzeuge des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs nach EN 13452-1.

Applications ferroviaires - Freinage - Exigences concernant le système de freinage des trains tractés par locomotive

La présente Norme Européenne définit les exigences fondamentales pour le freinage de trains remorqués par locomotive :
-   pour les trains remorqués par locomotive et destinés à l’utilisation pour exploitation conventionnelle, chaque véhicule est équipé d’une architecture classique de système de freinage avec une conduite générale, compatible avec un système de freinage UIC.
NOTE   Cela permet d’assurer la compatibilité technique de la fonction de freinage entre différents véhicules d’origines différentes dans un train (voir 5.4).
-   Pour les trains remorqués par locomotive et destinés à l’utilisation en composition fixe ou prédéfinie, les exigences sont applicables sur le véhicule et sur le train. Dans le cas d’un système de freinage UIC, la présente norme s’applique ; dans d’autres cas la série de normes EN 16185 ou la série de normes EN 15734 s’appliquent.
Le cas échéant, l’architecture du système de freinage UIC décrite dans la présente norme (voir 5.4) peut être utilisée pour les freins des trains à unités multiples, pour les trains à grande vitesse et pour le rail urbain, décrites dans la série de normes EN 13452, EN 16185 et EN 15734.
La présente Norme Européenne prend en compte les fonctions de commande électriques et électroniques et des systèmes de freinage supplémentaires, tels que les freins dynamiques et les freins qui ne dépendent pas de l’adhérence.
Les exigences relatives aux systèmes de freinage spécifiques aux machines de construction et de maintenance empruntant exclusivement les voies ferrés sont définies dans l’EN 14033-1.
La présente Norme Européenne ne s’applique pas aux systèmes de freinage du matériel roulant du Rail Urbain, qui sont spécifiés dans l’EN 13452-1.

Overview

SIST EN 14198:2017/oprA1:2017, titled "Railway applications - Braking - Requirements for the brake system of trains hauled by locomotives," sets out the baseline requirements for the design, installation, and operation of brake systems on trains drawn by locomotives. This European Standard, developed by SIST and harmonized with CEN/TC 256, ensures technical and operational compatibility across a variety of rolling stock types, focusing on integrating traditional brake systems, such as the UIC brake system, and considering modern advances in braking technologies.

By defining core performance and compatibility requirements, this standard supports safe, reliable, and interoperable rail transport throughout Europe. It is essential for train operators, manufacturers, and system integrators aiming for compliance with European rail safety regulations.

Key Topics

  • Compatibility with UIC Brake System
    The standard requires locomotives and the vehicles they haul to be equipped with brake systems compatible with the UIC brake architecture. This ensures different vehicles from various origins can operate safely together within a train formation.

  • Vehicle and Train Formation Requirements
    For trains in fixed or predefined formations, the standard specifies additional requirements not only at the vehicle but also at the train level, supporting consistent safety and interoperability in regular and special train operations.

  • Modern Braking Technologies
    SIST EN 14198:2017/oprA1:2017 accounts for the integration of electrical and electronic control functions, dynamic brakes, and adhesion-independent brakes, reflecting developments in railway braking systems.

  • Modifications and Amendments
    This amendment clarifies installation and electrical isolation requirements for metallic reinforced flexible hoses, updates brake pipe and main reservoir pipe diameters for various vehicle types, and specifies brake mode operation and performance calculations for coaches based on load conditions.

  • Limits of Scope
    Urban rail rolling stock is outside the scope, covered instead by other standards such as EN 13452-1.

Applications

Practical use cases for this standard include:

  • Rail Vehicle Manufacturers
    Ensuring that new locomotives, coaches, and wagons are designed with compliant braking systems, compatible with multi-origin, multi-purpose train formations.

  • Rail Operators and Maintainers
    Assuring day-to-day safe operations through consistent, compatible, and correctly installed braking components and systems across mixed fleets.

  • System Integrators
    Facilitating seamless integration of rolling stock from different manufacturers, thanks to standardized requirements for UIC-compatible brake interfaces and control systems.

  • Regulatory Compliance
    Supporting compliance with EU rail safety directives and essential interoperability requirements, thus enabling cross-border and multi-operator rail service.

Related Standards

  • EN 13452 Series:
    Specifies braking system requirements for urban rail rolling stock.
  • EN 16185 and EN 15734 Series:
    Applicable to braking requirements for trains not using the UIC brake system, such as multiple units and high-speed trains in specific contexts.
  • EN 14033-1:
    Covers brake system specifications for on-track machines.
  • EN 15663:
    Details calculation of operational masses used in brake performance assessment.

SIST EN 14198:2017/oprA1:2017 is a vital reference for anyone involved in the design, maintenance, or certification of railway brake systems, helping ensure European railway safety, technical compatibility, and operational reliability.
