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

EN 14198:2016/prA1 - Railway applications: Braking - Requirements for the brake system of trains hauled by locomotives - defines basic, interoperable braking requirements for locomotive-hauled trains in Europe. The standard ensures technical compatibility (notably with the UIC brake system) between vehicles of different origins, takes into account electrical/electronic control functions and additional systems (dynamic brakes, adhesion‑independent brakes), and clarifies special cases such as fixed formation trains and on‑track machines.

Key topics and technical requirements

• UIC brake compatibility: Each vehicle in general‑operation locomotive‑hauled trains must be fitted with a brake pipe compatible with the UIC brake system to ensure interoperable brake function across mixed consists.
• Fixed/predefined formations: Additional vehicle‑ and train‑level requirements apply; if a non‑UIC system is used, EN 16185 or EN 15734 series are applicable instead.
• Installation and earthing: Amendment clarifies use of metallic reinforced flexible connections - electrical conductivity must be considered and current flow between vehicles prevented (e.g., when different electrical potentials or supplies exist).
• Pneumatic pipe dimensions: Table updates set minimum inside diameters for continuous brake pipe (BP) and main reservoir pipe (MRP) by vehicle type (examples: coaches and locomotives minimums, wagons larger BP); cross‑reference to EN 10305‑4/‑6 where higher diameters apply.
• Dynamic brake behaviour: Clarifies substitution of dynamic braking by friction brakes at low speeds (e.g., shunting speed) and refines manual mode wording.
• Brake performance calculations (coaches): Load conditions to be considered per EN 15663 - minimum (design mass in working order), normal (design mass under normal payload), and maximum braking load (up to design mass under exceptional payload). Standing area assumptions specified (0 kg/m for restricted seat reservations; 160 kg/m for high‑speed/long‑distance; 300 kg/m for other vehicles).
• Scope exclusions: Urban rail rolling stock braking is outside scope (see EN 13452‑1); on‑track machine requirements are in EN 14033‑1.

Practical applications and users

Who uses this standard:

• Rolling stock designers and manufacturers (locomotives, coaches, wagons)
• System integrators and brake equipment suppliers
• Maintenance and fleet engineering teams responsible for interoperability
• Railway safety assessors, certification bodies and infrastructure managers
• Project teams specifying train formation and operational limits

Practical value:

• Ensures brake system interoperability across international and mixed‑fleet operations
• Guides safe installation of pneumatic and electrical brake components
• Provides load and performance criteria for braking calculations and commissioning
