    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    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 200 km/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 EN 14198;-mass transit rolling stock which is specified by EN 13452-1;-high speed trains being operated at speeds greater than 200 km/h which are specified by EN 15734-1.
