EN 15153-1:2013 (E) 7 5 Requirements 5.1 General The provision of lamps is specified in 5.2. The technical requirements for head, marker and tail lamps are set out in 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 (respectively). The testing requirements are set out in Clause 6 and Annex A. It should be noted that certain lighting technology degrades throughout its service life. It is important to ensure that the requirements in this European Standard are maintained. 5.2 Provision of lamps A minimum of two white head lamps shall be installed at the front of the train. Additionally, and only by agreement with the contractors, a maximum of two upper head lamps may be installed. Three white marker lamps shall be installed at the front of the train.
Two red tail lamps shall be installed at the rear of the train.
Only by agreement with the contractors, additional tail lamp(s) and marker lamp(s) with special warning or signalling functions may be installed, provided that they comply with the prescribed optical requirements and that they do not adversely affect the parameters given in this European Standard.
Combined lamps (i.e. lamps capable of different functions) are permissible provided that the requirements for individual lamp functions are achieved. All lamps at intermediate locations of the train shall be unlit.
5.3 Head lamps 5.3.1 Positioning of head lamps The two head lamps shall both be located at the same height, with their geometric centres between 1 500 mm and 2 000 mm above the upper surface of the rail. The arrangement of the two head lamps shall be such that the distance between their geometric centres is not less than 1 000 mm and that the head lamp geometric centres are symmetrical about the centre-line of rails. Where upper head lamps are installed, these shall be located above the windscreen, as close to the vehicle centre line as possible. 5.3.2 Dimensions of head lamps Each head lamp shall have a maximum lit area of 33 400 mm2, a minimum lit area of 17 650 mm2 and a minimum dimension of this lit area of 110 mm. The whole of the head lamp area shall appear to be lit when arranged in the installed condition and viewed along the optical axis. SIST EN 15153-1:2013



EN 15153-1:2013 (E) 8 5.3.3 Colour of head lamps The colour of light emitted by head lamps, when measured in accordance with 6.3, shall lie within the colour space defined by the intersection points as given in Table 1, and illustrated in Figure 1.

Figure 1 — Chromaticity diagram to illustrate the colour specification for head lamps according to Table 1 Where agreed between contractors, the spectral radiation distribution requirements of 5.4.4.2 shall apply to head lamps.
5.3.4 Luminous intensity of head lamps The luminous intensities of individual head lamps shall be as shown in Table 2. SIST EN 15153-1:2013



EN 15153-1:2013 (E) 9 Table 2 — Luminous intensities of head lamps Head lamp function Dimmed head lamp, and upper head lamp where provided Full-beam head lamp Luminous intensity (cd) measured along the optical axis of the head lamp 12 000 to 16 000 40 000 to 70 000 Luminous intensity (cd) within 5° on either side of the optical axis in the horizontal plane > 3 000 > 10 000
In the case of head lamps on conventional trains, only one head lamp function (dimmed or full-beam) is required.
NOTE The use of either dimmed or full beam will be dependent on Operational Rules in each Member State. Where upper head lamps are installed, the characteristics of these head lamps may deviate from the requirements of this European Standard. Secondary intensity maxima are permitted within ± 5° of the optical axis in the horizontal plane, provided that a) the maximum specified on-axis intensity is not exceeded,
and b) the difference between the intensities of any adjacent secondary maximum and minimum is no greater than 10 % of the luminous intensity measured along the optical axis of the head lamp.
Concerning the control of glare, the maximum luminous intensities for each angle above the optical axis in the horizontal plane parallel to the centre-line of rails, in the installed condition following any necessary adjustment as defined in 5.3.2, shall be as shown in Table 3. Table 3 — Luminous intensities along set angles for full-beam and dimmed head lamps Angle above the horizontal axis of head lamp in the vertical plane ° Maximum luminous intensity of head lamp at specified angle cd 0,25 58 400 0,50 14 600 1,00 3 650 1,50 1 620 2,00 912
An alternative control of glare is the adjustment of the downwards vertical alignment of the head lamps when installed on the vehicle, such that the vertical illuminance from each head lamp at the upper surface of the rails at a distance of 100 m is less than 0,5 lux. In this case, the requirements of Table 3 may not apply. SIST EN 15153-1:2013



EN 15153-1:2013 (E) 10 5.3.5 Alignment of head lamps Head lamps shall be provided with a means of alignment adjustment. In the case of head lamps for which glare is controlled by Table 3, the angle between the optical axis of the head lamp in its installed condition and the centre-line of rails shall be 0° in the horizontal and vertical planes. In the case of head lamps for which glare is controlled by the alternative method, the downwards vertical alignment angle shall be defined for a given head lamp design. 5.4 Marker lamps 5.4.1 Positioning of marker lamps The two lower marker lamps shall be located at the same height above the upper surface of the rail.
The centres of the two lower marker lamps shall be between 1 500 mm and 2 000 mm above the upper surface of the rail. The distance between the centres of the two lower marker lamps shall not be less than 1 000 mm and they shall be arranged symmetrically about the centre line of the vehicle. The upper marker lamp shall be located centrally and above the lower marker lamps. The vertical separation between the geometric centres of the upper marker lamp and the lower head and marker lamps shall be equal to or greater than 600 mm. 5.4.2 Dimensions of marker lamps Each marker lamp shall have a maximum lit area of 22 700 mm2, a minimum lit area of 9 500 mm2 and a minimum dimension of the lit area of 110 mm. 5.4.3 Colour of marker lamps 5.4.3.1 General The colour of light emitted by marker lamps, measured in accordance with 6.3, shall lie within the colour space defined by the intersection points as given in Table 4, and illustrated in Figure 2.
