This document defines the technical and safety requirements applicable to gangway systems used in heavy rail and urban rail vehicles that are designed to allow passengers or staff to move between adjacent vehicles.
It also defines
— the requirements for the safety for passengers and/or staff in the gangway while the train is running,
— the assessment methods as well as pass/fail criteria for gangways installed on vehicles.
NOTE Some requirements in this document may not be applicable for gangways designed for use by staff only.
This document is not intended to define requirements for articulation systems which can be an integral part of gangway systems.
This document is not applicable for rubber tube gangways and interconnecting gangways for coaches travelling at speeds of up to 200 km/h on high-speed lines with tunnel sections. Information about these types of gangway systems are given in Annex A and Annex B.

The gauges and processes included in this document have been developed for application on mainline railway networks using various track gauges. Other networks such as urban and suburban may apply the gauge rules defined in this standard but are outside of its scope.
This document contains
— the definitions and symbols for all prEN 15273 documents,
— the general explanation of various elements and phenomena affecting railway gauging,
— the general explanation of various calculation methods and processes applicable to railway,
— gauging that allow the dimensioning of the rolling stock and the infrastructure.
NOTE The rules given in this standard are not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” referred to in 4.2.3.1. (7) & (8) for track gauge 1 520 mm of the merged TSI Loc and Pass ( Commission Regulation N° 1302/2014 of 18 November 2014).

The gauges and processes included in this documenthave been developed for application on mainline railway networks using various track gauges. Other networks such as urban and suburban may apply the gauging rules defined in this documentbut are outside of its scope.
For a given defined gauge, the application of the rules contained in EN 15273-2, combined with corresponding parameters and reference profiles given in EN 15273-4, makes it possible to determine the maximum exterior dimensions of a vehicle (maximum vehicle construction gauge) compatible with infrastructure gauges obtained according to rules defined in EN 15273-3.
For absolute and comparative gauging, the application of the rules contained within EN 15273-2, combined with infrastructure data defined in EN 15273-3 in accordance with EN 15273-1 makes it possible to determine the dimensions of a vehicle.
EN 15273-2 is applicable to new vehicle designs, to modifications to existing vehicles and for checking existing vehicles to be used on another route or network.
This document contains
-the rules for rolling stock for all defined gauges,
-the swept envelope calculation process used for defined dynamic gauges, absolute and comparative methods,
- the list of documents required to assess vehicle conformity to this standard.
NOTE The rules given in this standard are not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” referred to in 4.2.3.1. (7) & (8) for track gauge 1 520 mm of the merged TSI Loc and Pass (Commission Regulation N°1302/2014 of 18. November 2014).

This document:
— defines the various profiles needed to install, verify and maintain the various infrastructures near the infrastructure gauge,
— lists the various phenomena to be taken into account to determine the infrastructure gauge,
— defines a methodology that may be used to calculate the various profiles from these phenomena,
— lists the rules to determine the distance between the track centres,
— lists the rules to be complied with when building the platforms,
— lists the rules to determine the pantograph gauge,
— lists the formulae needed to calculate the infrastructure gauge,
and is applicable for various track gauges.
This document defines the gauge as an agreement between infrastructure and rolling stock, and defines the responsibilities of the following parties:
a) for the infrastructure:
1) gauge clearance;
2) maintenance;
3) infrastructure monitoring.
b) for the rolling stock:
1) compliance of the operating rolling stock with the gauge concerned;
2) maintenance of this compliance over time.
For a given defined gauge, the application of the rules contain in this part 3, associated with useful elements contained in prEN 15273-4, makes it possible to determine the minimum dimensions of an infrastructure. Therefore, this infrastructure is compatible with vehicle gauge having the same designation, and obtained according to rules defined in prEN 15273-2.
Other networks such as urban and suburban may apply the gauging rules defined in this standard but are outside of its scope.
For absolute and comparative gauging, the application of the rules contained within prEN 15273-3, combined with vehicle data defined in prEN 15273-2 in accordance with make it possible to determine the dimensions of infrastructure.
NOTE The rules given in this standard are not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” referred to in 4.2.3.1. (7) & (8) for track gauge 1 520 mm of the merged TSI Loc and Pass (Commission Regulation N° 1302/2014 of 18 November 2014).

This document is a catalogue of existing gauges and provides data for static, kinematic and dynamic gauges. This document is intended to be used with prEN 15273-1, prEN 15273-2 and prEN 15273-3. Other networks, such as urban and suburban, can apply the gauging rules defined in this standard but are outside of its scope.
This document provides for each gauge the associated basic data (such as track gauge, limits for cant and cant deficiency, range of lateral and vertical curvatures), formulae for the lateral and vertical projections and other reference parameters.
NOTE The rules given in this standard are not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” referred to in 4.2.3.1. (7)& (8) for track gauge 1 520 mm of the merged TSI Loc and Pass (Commission Regulation N° 1302/2014 of 18 November 2014).
