CEN/TC 256/WG 19 - Technical drawings

This document provides terms and definitions for rail networks and rail vehicles guided by track and wheels, both made of steel and/or other materials.
This includes heavy rail and urban rail systems.
This document is applicable as a reference for future European Standards and the revision of existing standards and represents a set of general technical terms and definitions.
This document does not apply to specific applications such as:
-   track construction and maintenance machines not travelling on rails;
-   road-rail machines when not travelling on rails;
-   magnetic levitation transport networks and vehicles;
-   guided busways and guided busses;
-   non-public rail networks and vehicles, e.g. mine rail systems;
-   rail networks and vehicles exclusively for leisure, historical and tourist purposes, e.g. mountain-, field-, park-, cable rail systems, funiculars and theme park rides;
-   trolley busses.
Not in the scope are terms and definitions related to:
-   control command and signalling,
-   operation,
-   geographical aspects.

This document specifies the preparation and reproduction of design parts lists.
This document defines the basic principles and structure of design parts lists.
This document is applicable to all design parts lists for railway applications.

This document specifies the preparation, administration, and reproduction of technical documents.
It complies with the requirements of EN, ISO or IEC Standards for technical documents.
This document is applicable to all to technical documents for railway applications, irrespective of technology i.e., mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, electronic etc.

This document specifies the basis of revising technical design documents.
This document is applicable to all technical design documents for railway applications, irrespective of the material form like transparency originals, plotter drawings, aperture cards, computer readable data media, photoprints etc.

This document specifies the data exchange of technical documents such as bill of material, technical drawings and other related technical documents for rolling stock.

This European Standard defines the System Breakdown Structure for railway vehicles and their principal associated attributes.
This European Standard may also be applied to specific railway vehicles like track machines and snow ploughs. However, whilst the systems that are common with general railway vehicles are included, the systems which are specific to their work processes are not included in this European Standard. They need to be added for these individual projects.

This European Standard is concerned with the functions associated with general railway vehicles or their assemblies. It covers functionality associated with systems and equipment such as wheelsets and bogies, doors, brakes and traction.
This standard may also be applied to railway vehicles with very specific functions like track machines and snow ploughs. However, while the functions that are common with general railway vehicles are included, the functions which are specific to their work processes are not included in this standard. They will be added for these individual projects.

As a railway-specific technical standard, this European Standard specifies the designation system for technical products and technical project documentation.  It takes into account the general rules for structuring principles according to EN 61346-1 and designations according to EN 61355.
The European Standard specifies the structure and content of the designation sets required in the technical project documentation.
The designation depends on the aspect used, see Annex C, individually or in designation set combinations, i.e.:
-   product groups according to EN 15380-2;
-    installation site/location according to EN 15380-3;
function structure according to DIN 25002-5.

As a railway-specific technical standard, this European Standard is the basis for establishing product-
oriented structures.
This standard essentially is for product structuring; however the function-overlapping "combined
assemblies" have to be taken into account. This structure is a common basis for communication between
customer, suppliers, subcontractors and others in all stages of the cooperation.

As a railway-specific technical standard, this document gives rules for the designation of installation sites and
locations in railway vehicles.

TC - Modification to Table A.2

This European Standard lays down requirements for the preparation, administration and reproduction of technical drawings for railway applications. It complies with the requirements of EN, ISO or IEC Standards for technical drawings. It applies to technical drawings for railways, irrespective of technology i.e. mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, electronic etc.
The European Standard applies throughout the total life span of the drawings. It applies to all the railway organizations and parties concerned with technical drawings, and to suppliers preparing drawings for railway applications. This standard does not apply to the technical contents of the document. Neither does the standard apply to building documentation.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for the preparation and reproduction of design parts lists for railway applications.
This European Standard specifies the design parts list and describes the basic principles, their structure and the minimum requirements of a design parts list.
The European Standard applies throughout the total life span of the parts list. This standard applies to all the railway organisations and partners concerned with the design parts list, and to suppliers preparing parts list on behalf of network users.

This European Standard applies throughout the total life span of the documents. This standard applies to all the railway organisations and partners concerned with technical documents and to suppliers preparing documents on behalf of railway companies or railway network users.
This European Standard describes the basis of revising technical design documents for railway applications, without considering additional company requirements.
These basic requirements apply to all technical design documents independent of the material form: e.g. transparency originals, plotter drawings, aperture cards, computer readable data media, photoprints, COM-fiches etc., also for a computerised set of information.

This European Standard specifies the basis of an administrative process for exchange of data such as technical drawings, design parts list (see EN 15016-2) and other related technical documents for railway applications.
This European Standard applies to all railway organisations and parties concerned with the exchange of technical documents like drawings, part lists and related technical documents that are officially numbered. Furthermore, it applies to suppliers preparing these documents on behalf of the railway companies or railway network users.
The basic requirements apply to all drawings, parts lists and related technical documents independently of the type of data e.g. graphical information (images), database types or types of data carriers.
These rules are applied by all railway companies and railway industry in the countries of the European Union (EU). Alternatively, the application of these rules can be agreed between contract partners who are settled in the EU and partners who are not settled in the EU by means of a contract and/or mutual agreement.
