This document applies to the measurement of vertical wheel forces of railway vehicles in maintenance workshops and at manufacturing sites. It also deals with derived quantities that are used to describe the vehicle’s vertical wheel force distribution. The document defines the assessment and acceptance criteria for the measurement process. The requirements for this assessment support the specification, the design and the operation of the measurement process. It is considered that the measurements are made either statically or quasi-statically. This document is applicable to all railway vehicles. The commercial weighing of vehicles is not covered by the scope of this document, nor does it define in which cases the wheel forces of a vehicle will be measured.

This document applies to distributor valves and distributor-isolating devices. The distributor valves contained in this document are of graduable release type. Direct release types are not included. Functionally they are regarded as not containing relay valves of any type, even if the relay valves are physically an integral part of the distributor valves. This document applies to both distributor-isolating devices mounted separate from the distributor valve and distributor-isolating devices integral with the distributor valve. This document specifies the requirements for the design, testing and quality assurance of distributor valves and distributor-isolating devices. The distributor valve and distributor-isolating device are intended to be part of a brake system mounted in a vehicle with maximum length of 31 m and maximum brake pipe volume of 25 l taking into consideration brake pipe inner diameters between 25 mm and 32 mm.

This European Standard specifies the interface requirements for water restocking equipment, and the on board system to preserve the quality of the water supply. It is applicable to railway vehicles fitted with water taps for use in toilets, washing facilities, water dispensers and catering equipment and the railway infrastructure at designated servicing sites. This European Standard is not applicable to filling railway vehicles with water for the purpose of engine cooling, steam heating or work equipment on on-track machines.

This document gives design rules and requirements in order to ensure proper access, lighting, seating and exit of the driver’s cab. The different dimensions are based on the anthropometric data defined in EN 16186-1. The corresponding assessment methods are also included in this standard. It covers the following aspects: - dimension and interior layout; - door access, steps, floor characteristics; - seats dimension and clearance; - interior cab lighting; - emergency exit; - marking and labelling. This part of the EN 16186 series applies to driver’s cabs of Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU), Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU), Railcars, Locomotives and Driving trailers (Driving Coaches). NOTE 1 This European Standard applies to rolling stock in the scope of Directive 2008/57/EC [6]. This part of the EN 16186 series applies to driver's desks installed on the left, on the right, or in a central position in the driver’s cab. Due to cab space and resulting desk integration constraints, desk layout can vary. NOTE 2 Due to railway systems constraints, the level of comfort and accessibility provided to the persons outside the anthropometric range defined in EN 16186-1 may vary. Usually the operators manage the potential restrictions, if the driver uses the full range of seat positions (as defined in this standard) combined with extreme body dimensions (as defined in EN 16186-1). This document is not intended to be applicable for OTMs, tramways, metro and light rail vehicles. NOTE 3 For OTMs, see EN 14033-1 [11] and EN 15746-1 [17].
