Defines the functionality, constraints, performance and operation of a brake system for use in self propelling thermal and electric trains operating on routes of the European conventional rail system network.

This European Standard describes the functionality, constraints, performance and operation of a brake system for use in self propelling thermal and electric trains operating on routes of the European conventional rail system network. This European Standard covers: all new vehicle designs of self-propelling thermal and electric trains being operated at a maximum speed up to 200km/h, in the following text simply called EMU/DMU; all major overhauls of the above-mentioned vehicles if they involve redesigning or extensive alteration to the brake system of the vehicle concerned. This standard does not cover: locomotive hauled trains which are specified by EN14198 ; mass transit rolling stock which is specified by EN13452‑1 ; high speed trains being operated at speeds greater than 200km/h which are specified by EN15734‑1 .
