Overview

EN 50317:2012/A1:2022 is a European standard from CLC (CENELEC) that specifies the functional requirements for output and accuracy of measurements of the dynamic interaction between the pantograph and the overhead contact line (OCL). It amends EN 50317:2012 and focuses on validating measurement results used to assess current collection systems in railway applications. The amendment was approved 13 June 2022 and is intended for adoption by national bodies with implementation and withdrawal dates set by CENELEC.

Keywords: EN 50317:2012/A1:2022, pantograph, overhead contact line, dynamic interaction, current collection systems, measurement validation, CENELEC.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Measurement output and accuracy: Defines the required characteristics of measurement data used to evaluate pantograph–OCL interaction, emphasizing functional performance and traceability.
• Validation of measurements: Specifies validation criteria to ensure measurement reliability for dynamic interaction testing.
• Normative references: Amendment clarifies that there are no normative references in the document (Clause 2).
• Terminology update: The source for the term tension length is updated to IEC 60050 811:2017 (Clause 3.14).
• Measurement distance threshold: Adjustment to the formula for the threshold used in defining measurement distance (replacement of Formula (3) in Clause 9.3).
• Regulatory alignment: Annex ZZ (relationship to EU Directive 2016/797/EU) is removed by the amendment.
• Standards stewardship: Prepared by CLC/TC 9X (Electric supply and earthing systems for public transport equipment).

Applications and who uses it

EN 50317:2012/A1:2022 is applicable across the rail industry wherever accurate dynamic interaction measurements are required:

• Railway infrastructure owners and operators validating OCL performance
• Rolling-stock manufacturers and pantograph designers for design verification
• Test laboratories and certification bodies performing type tests and acceptance tests
• Maintenance teams monitoring pantograph–OCL contact quality and wear
• Research institutions studying current collection dynamics

Using this standard helps ensure consistent, comparable measurement outputs for performance assessment, safety evaluations, and regulatory compliance in current collection systems.

Related standards and context

• Associated with other railway electrification and testing standards within CENELEC and IEC domains (e.g., IEC 60050 references for terminology).
• Part of the family of standards addressing current collection systems, pantograph performance, and OCL design.

For implementers: consult national CENELEC bodies for the adopted national version and check the amendment dates for required national implementation and withdrawal of conflicting standards.
