2.   ROLLING STOCK SUBSYSTEM AND FUNCTIONS

2.1.   The rolling stock subsystem as part of the conventional rail system

The trans-European rail system comprises a high speed rail system and a conventional rail system.

According to Directive 2008/57/EC, the rolling stock subsystem of the trans-European high-speed rail system includes trains designed to operate on the trans-European high speed rail network (HS TEN), composed of lines either dedicated high-speed lines or lines upgraded for high speed (i.e. speed of the order of 200 km/h or more) indicated as such in Annex 1 of Decision No 1692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
   (15).

Note: The HS RST TSI Section 1.1 sets a speed threshold of 190 km/h for the rolling stock in its technical scope.

According to Directive 2008/57/EC, the rolling stock subsystem of the trans European conventional rail system includes all trains likely to travel on all or part of the conventional lines of the TEN; the maximum operational speed of these trains is not specified.

The conventional rail system has been broken down into subsystems as defined in Annex II (section 1) to of Directive 2008/57/EC and listed as follows.

Structural areas:

| — | infrastructure, |
| --- | --- |

With the exception of maintenance, each subsystem is dealt with in specific TSI(s).

The rolling stock subsystem dealt with in this TSI (as defined in Section 1.1) has interfaces with all other subsystems of the conventional rail system mentioned above; these interfaces are considered within the frame of an integrated system, compliant with all relevant TSIs.

Further to the development of the second TSI group there are:

| — | two TSIs describing specific aspects of the railway system and concerning several subsystems, the conventional rail rolling stock being one of them:






  (a) | safety in railway tunnels; |

3.   ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1.   General

According to Article 4(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC, the trans-European conventional rail system, its subsystems and its interoperability constituents shall fulfil the essential requirements set out in general terms in Annex III of Directive 2008/57/EC.

In the scope of this TSI, compliance with the specifications described in Section 4 for the subsystems, or Section 5 for the interoperability constituents and demonstrated by a positive result of the assessment described in Section 6.1 for the conformity and/or suitability for use of the interoperability constituents or Section 6.2 for the verification of the subsystems, ensures fulfilment of the relevant essential requirements quoted in Section 3.2.

Nevertheless, if part of the essential requirements are covered by national rules because of open points declared in the TSI or specific cases described in Section 7.3, the corresponding national rules shall include the conformity assessment, which shall be carried out under the responsibility of the relevant Member State.

3.2.   Elements of the rolling stock subsystem corresponding to the essential requirements

Regarding the rolling stock subsystem, the following table indicates the essential requirements, as defined and numbered in Annex III of Directive 2008/57/EC, that are met by the specifications set out in Section 4 of this TSI.

4.   CHARACTERISATION OF THE ROLLING STOCK SUBSYSTEM

4.1.   Introduction

4.1.1.   General

The trans-European conventional rail system, to which Directive 2008/57/EC applies and of which the rolling stock subsystem is a part, is an integrated system whose consistency shall be verified. This consistency shall be checked in particular with regard to the specifications of the rolling stock subsystem, its interfaces in relation to the other subsystems of the Conventional Rail system in which it is integrated, as well as the operating and maintenance rules.

The basic parameters of the rolling stock subsystem are defined in the present Section 4 of this TSI.

Except where this is strictly necessary for the interoperability of the trans-European conventional rail network, the functional and technical specifications of the subsystem and its interfaces described in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, do not impose the use of specific technologies or technical solutions.

Innovative solutions, which do not fulfil the requirements specified in this TSI and/or which are not assessable as stated in this TSI, require new specifications and/or new assessment methods. In order to allow technological innovation, these specifications and assessment methods shall be developed by the process ‘innovative solution’ described in Section 6.

Characteristics that need to be listed in the ‘European register of authorised types of vehicles’ are identified in Section 4.8 of this TSI.

4.1.2.   Description of the rolling stock subject to the application of this TSI

Rolling stock subject to the application of this TSI (designated as a unit in the context of this TSI) shall be described in the certificate of ‘EC’ verification, using one of the following characteristics:

| — | Trainset in fixed formation and, when required, predefined formation(s) of several trainsets of the type under assessment for multiple operation. |
| --- | --- |

Note: Multiple operation of the unit under assessment with other types of rolling stock in not in the scope of this TSI.

Definitions related to train formation and units are given in Section 2.2 of this TSI.

When a unit intended for use in fixed or predefined formation(s) is assessed, the formations for which such assessment is valid shall be defined by the party asking for assessment, and stated in the certificate of ‘EC’ verification. The definition of each formation shall include the type designation of each vehicle, the number of vehicles and their arrangement in the formation. Details are given in Section 6.2.

Some characteristics or some assessments of a unit intended to be used in general operation, will require defined limits regarding the train formations. These limits are laid down in Section 4.2 and in clause 6.2.6.

4.1.3.   Main categorisation of the rolling stock for application of TSI requirements

A rolling stock technical categorisation system is used in the following clauses of this TSI to define relevant requirements applicable to a unit.

The technical category(ies) relevant for the unit subject to the application of this TSI shall be identified by the party asking for assessment. This categorisation shall be used by the notified body in charge of the assessment, in order to assess the applicable requirements from this TSI, and shall be stated in the certificate of ‘EC’ verification.

| --- | --- |

—

Scenario 4: An impact of the unit into a low obstacle (e.g. car on a level crossing, animal, rock etc.).

These scenarios are described in table 2 of Section 5 of EN15227:2008.

Within the scope of the present TSI, table 2 application rules are completed by the following:

| — | The application of requirements related to scenarios 1 and 2 to heavy haul locomotives used only for freight operations and fitted with centre couplers conforming to the Willison (e.g. SA3) or Janney (AAR standard) principle which are intended to operate on the CR TEN lines is an open point. |

Design mass in working order.

The hypothesis taken for arriving at the load conditions above shall be in line with the standard EN 15663:2009 (long distance train, other train, payload per m2 in standing and service areas); they shall be justified and documented in the general documentation described in clause 4.2.12.2.

For OTMs, different load conditions (minimum mass, maximum mass) may be used, in order to take into account optional onboard equipment.

For each load condition defined above, the following information shall be provided in the technical documentation described in clause 4.2.12:

| — | Total vehicle mass (for each vehicle of the unit). |
| --- | --- |

—

The design mass of the unit in working order, the design mass of the unit under normal payload and the highest axle load of the individual axles for each one of the 3 load cases shall be recorded in the rolling stock register defined in clause 4.8 of this TSI.

4.2.3.   Track interaction and gauging

4.2.3.1.   Gauging

The gauge is an interface between the unit (vehicle) and the infrastructure described by a common reference contour and associated rules for the calculation. The gauge is a performance parameter specified in clause 4.2.2 of the CR INF TSI and depends on the category of line.

The kinematic reference contour with its associated rules describes the outer dimensions of the unit; it shall be within one of the reference profiles GA, GB or GC (according to clause 4.2.2 of the CR INF TSI). The assumed sway (or flexibility) coefficient for the gauge calculation shall be justified by calculation or measurements as set out in EN 15273-2:2009.

For electric units, the pantograph gauge shall be verified by calculation according to clause A.3.12 of EN 15273-2:2009 to ensure that the pantograph envelope complies with the mechanical kinematic pantograph gauge which in itself is determined according to Annex E of CR ENE TSI, and depends on the choice made for the pantograph head geometry: the two permitted possibilities are defined in clause 4.2.8.2.9.2 of this TSI.

The voltage of the power supply is considered in the infrastructure gauge in order to ensure the proper insulation distances between the pantograph and fixed installations.

The pantograph sway as specified in clause 4.2.14 of CR energy TSI and used for the mechanical kinematic gauge calculation shall be justified by calculations or measurements as set out in EN 15273-2:2009.

The reference contour (i.e. gauge) that the unit complies with (GA, GB or GC) shall be recorded in the rolling stock register defined in clause 4.8 of this TSI.

Any gauge, with a kinematic reference profile smaller than GC, may also be recorded in the register together with the harmonised applicable gauge (GA, GB or GC), provided it is assessed using the kinematic method.

4.2.3.2.   Axle load and wheel load

4.2.3.2.1.   Axle load parameter

The axle load is an interface between the unit and the infrastructure. The axle load is a performance parameter of the infrastructure specified in clause 4.2.2 of the CR INF TSI and depends on the Category of Line. It has to be considered in combination with the axle spacing, with the train length and with the maximum allowed speed for the unit on the considered line.

The following characteristics to be used as an interface to the infrastructure shall be part of the general documentation produced when the unit is assessed, and described in clause 4.2.12.2:

Use of this information at operational level for compatibility check between rolling stock and infrastructure (outside the scope of this TSI):

The axle load of each individual axle of the unit to be used as interface parameter to the infrastructure has to be defined by the Railway Undertaking as required in clause 4.2.2.5 of the CR OPE TSI, considering the expected load for the intended service (not defined when the unit is assessed). The axle load in load condition ‘design mass under exceptional payload’ represents the maximum possible value of the axle load mentioned above.

4.2.3.2.2.   Wheel load

The ratio of wheel load difference per axle qj, shall be evaluated by wheel load measurement, considering the load condition ‘design mass in working order’.

The limit values for running safety which the unit shall meet are specified in EN 14363:2005 clause 5.3.2.2, and additionally for tilting trains in EN 15686:2010, with the following modification of the quotient of guiding force and wheel force (Y/Q):

| | When the quotient of guiding force and wheel force (Y/Q) limit is exceeded, it is allowed to recalculate the Y/Q estimated maximum value according to the following process:






  — | create an alternative test zone made up of all track sections with 300 m ≤ R ≤ 500 m, |
| --- | --- | --- |

When the quotient of guiding force and wheel force (Y/Q) limit is exceeded, it is allowed to recalculate the Y/Q estimated maximum value according to the following process:

—

create an alternative test zone made up of all track sections with 300 m ≤ R ≤ 500 m,

| --- | --- |

Both results (before and after recalculation) shall be recorded in the test report.

4.2.3.4.2.2.   TRACK LOADING LIMIT VALUES

Except for the quasi static guiding force Yqst, the limit values for track loading which the unit shall meet when testing with the normal method, are specified in EN 14363:2005 clause 5.3.2.3.

The quasi static guiding force Yqst limits are specified below.

The quasi-static guiding force Yqst limit value shall be evaluated for curve radii 250 ≤ R < 400 m.

The limit value for unrestricted operation of the rolling stock on the TEN network (as defined in TSIs) shall be: (Yqst)lim = (30 + 10500/Rm) kN.

Where: Rm = mean radius of the track sections retained for the evaluation (in metres).

When this limit value is exceeded due to high friction conditions, it is permitted to recalculate the estimated value of Yqst on the zone after replacing the individual (Yqst)i values on the track sections ‘i’ where (Y/Q)ir (mean value of Y/Q ratio on the inner rail over the section) exceeds 0,40 by: (Yqst)i - 50[(Y/Q)ir - 0,4].The values of the Yqst, Qqst and mean curve radius (before and after recalculation) shall be recorded in the test report.

In case the Yqst value exceeds the limit value expressed above, the operational performance of the rolling stock (e.g. maximum speed) may be limited by the infrastructure, considering track characteristics (e.g. curve radius, cant, rail height).

Note: The limit values specified in EN 14363:2005 are applicable for axle loads in the range of those mentioned in the clause 4.2.2 of the CR INF TSI; for track designed for higher axle loads, harmonised track loading limits values are not defined.

4.2.3.4.3.   Equivalent conicity

The range of values of speed and equivalent conicity for which the unit is designed to be stable shall be specified and recorded in the technical documentation. These values shall be respected for design and in-service conditions.

The equivalent conicity shall be calculated in accordance with EN15302:2008 for the amplitude (y) of the wheelset’s lateral displacement:

| — | y = 3 mm, |
| --- | --- |

—

y = 3 mm,

if (TG – SR) ≥ 7 mm

| — | , |
| --- | --- |

—

Formula

if 5 mm ≤ (TG – SR) < 7 mm

| — | y = 2 mm, |
| --- | --- |

—

y = 2 mm,

if (TG – SR) < 5 mm

where TG is the track gauge and SR is the distance between the active faces of the wheelset ( see figure 1).

Units equipped with independently rotating wheels are exempt from the requirements in clause 4.2.3.4.3 of this TSI.

4.2.3.4.3.1.   DESIGN VALUES FOR NEW WHEEL PROFILES

This section defines verifications to be performed by calculations in order to ensure that a ‘new wheel’ profile and the distance between active faces of the wheels is suitable for tracks of the TEN network which comply to the CR Infrastructure TSI.

Wheel profile and the distance between active faces of the wheels (Dimension SR in figure 1, § 4.2.3.5.2.1) shall be selected to ensure that the equivalent conicity limit set out in table 2 is not exceeded when the designed wheelset is modelled passing over the representative sample of track test conditions as specified in table 3.

Symbols for wheels

Units equipped with independently rotating wheels shall, in addition to the requirements in this clause dealing with wheels, meet the requirements in this TSI for geometrical characteristics of wheelsets defined in clause 4.2.3.5.2.1.

4.2.3.5.2.3.   VARIABLE GAUGE WHEELSETS

This requirement is applicable to units equipped with variable gauge wheelsets with changeover between the European standard nominal track gauge and another track gauge.

The changeover mechanism of the wheelset shall ensure the safe locking in the correct intended axial position of the wheel.

External visual verification of the state of the locking system (locked or unlocked) shall be possible.

If the wheelset is equipped with brake equipment, the position and locking in the correct position of this equipment shall be ensured.

The conformity assessment of the requirements specified in this clause is an open point.

4.2.3.6.   Minimum curve radius

The minimum curve radius to be negotiated shall be:

| — | 150 m for all units |
| --- | --- |

—

150 m for all units

4.2.3.7.   Life guards

This requirement applies to units fitted with a driving cab.

The wheels shall be protected against damages caused by minor items on the rails. This requirement can be met by life guards in front of the wheels of the leading axle.

The height of the lower end of the life guard above the plain rail shall be:

| — | 30 mm minimum in all conditions, |
| --- | --- |

—

30 mm minimum in all conditions,

| — | 130 mm maximum in all conditions, |
| --- | --- |

—

130 mm maximum in all conditions,

taking into account in particular wheel wear and suspension compression.

If an obstacle deflector specified in clause 4.2.2.5 has its lower edge at less than 130 mm above the plain rail in all conditions, it fulfils the functional requirement of the life guards and therefore it is permissible not to fit life guards.

A life guard shall be designed to withstand a minimum longitudinal force without permanent deformation of 20 kN. This requirement shall be verified by a calculation.

A life guard shall be designed so that, during plastic deformation, it does not foul the track or running gear and that contact with the wheel tread, if it occurs, does not pose a risk of derailment.

4.2.4.   Braking

4.2.4.1.   General

The purpose of the train braking system is to ensure that the train’s speed can be reduced or maintained on a slope, or that the train can be stopped within the maximum allowable braking distance. Braking also ensures the immobilisation of a train.

The primary factors that influence the braking performance are the braking power (braking force production), the train mass, the train rolling resistance, the speed, the available adhesion.

Individual unit performance for units operated in various train formations is defined so that the overall braking performance of the train can be derived.

The braking performance is determined by deceleration profiles (deceleration = F (speed) and equivalent response time).

Stopping distance, brake weight percentage (also called ‘lambda’ or ‘braked mass percentage’), braked mass are also used, and can be derived (directly or via stopping distance) from deceleration profiles by a calculation.

The braking performance could vary with the load of the train or vehicle.

The minimum train braking performance required to operate a train on a line at an intended speed is dependent on the line characteristics (signalling system, maximum speed, gradients, line safety margin) and is a characteristic of the infrastructure.

The train or vehicle main data characterising the braking performance is defined in the clause 4.2.4.5 of this TSI.

It is permissible to include the contribution of brakes independent of wheel/rail adhesion in the braking performance in normal mode defined in clause 4.2.4.5 for the emergency brake; in such a case, the brake system independent of adhesion condition shall be:

| — | commanded by the main brake system control line (see clause 4.2.4.2.1), |
| --- | --- |

—

commanded by the main brake system control line (see clause 4.2.4.2.1),

| — | included in the safety analysis required by the safety requirement No 3 set out in clause 4.2.4.2.2 for the emergency brake function, |
| --- | --- |

—

included in the safety analysis required by the safety requirement No 3 set out in clause 4.2.4.2.2 for the emergency brake function,

| — | subject of a safety analysis covering the hazard ‘after activation of an emergency command, complete loss of the brake force’. |
| --- | --- |

—

subject of a safety analysis covering the hazard ‘after activation of an emergency command, complete loss of the brake force’.

4.2.4.8.2.   Magnetic track brake

Requirements on magnetic brakes specified by the CCS subsystem are referenced in clause 4.2.3.3.1 of this TSI.

A magnetic track brake is allowed to be used as an emergency brake, as mentioned in the CR INF TSI, clause 4.2.7.2.

The geometrical characteristics of the end elements of the magnet in contact with the rail shall be as specified for one of the types described in Appendix 3 of UIC 541-06:Jan 1992.

4.2.4.8.3.   Eddy current track brake

This section covers only eddy current track brake developing a brake force between the rolling stock and the rail.

Requirements on eddy current track brakes specified by the CCS subsystem are referenced in clause 4.2.3.3.1 of this TSI.

According to the CR INF TSI, clause 4.2.7.2, the conditions for use of eddy current track brake are not harmonised.

Therefore, requirements to be met by eddy current track brake are an open point.

4.2.4.9.   Brake state and fault indication

Information available to train staff shall allow the identification of degraded conditions concerning the rolling stock (brake performance lower that the performance required), for which specific operating rules apply.

To that end, it shall be possible at certain phases during operation for the train staff to identify the status (applied or released or isolated) of the main (emergency and service) and parking brake systems, and the status of each part (including one or several actuators) of these systems that can be controlled and/or isolated independently.

If the parking brake always depends directly on the state of main brake system, it is not required to have an additional and specific indication for the parking brake system.

The phases that shall be considered during operation are standstill and running.

When at a standstill, train staff shall be able to check from inside and/or outside of the train:

| — | the continuity of the train brake control command line, |
| --- | --- |

—

the continuity of the train brake control command line,

| — | the availability of the braking energy supply along the train, |
| --- | --- |

—

| --- | --- |

—

the status of the main brake and parking brake systems and the status of each part (including one or several actuators) of these systems that can be controlled and/or isolated separately (as described above in the first paragraph of this clause), excepted for dynamic brake and braking system linked to traction systems.

When running, the driver shall be able to check from the driving position in the cab:

| — | the status of the train brake control command line, |
| --- | --- |

—

the status of the train brake control command line,

| — | the status of the train brake energy supply, |
| --- | --- |

—

the status of the train brake energy supply,

| — | the status of the dynamic brake and braking system linked to traction system if it is taken into account in the brake performance, |
| --- | --- |

—

the status of the dynamic brake and braking system linked to traction system if it is taken into account in the brake performance,

| — | the status applied or released of at least one part (actuator) of the main brake system which is controlled independently (e.g. a part which is installed on the vehicle fitted with an active cab). |
| --- | --- |

—

the status applied or released of at least one part (actuator) of the main brake system which is controlled independently (e.g. a part which is installed on the vehicle fitted with an active cab).

The function providing the information described above to the train staff is a safety related function, as it is used for the train staff to evaluate the braking performance of the train. Where local information is provided by indicators, the use of harmonised indicators ensures the required safety level. Where a centralised control system allowing the train staff to perform all checks from one location (i.e. inside the drivers cab) is provided, the safety level for this control system is an open point.

Applicability to units intended for general operation:

| | Only functionalities that are relevant to the design characteristics of the unit (e.g. presence of a cab, ...) shall be considered. |
| --- | --- |

Only functionalities that are relevant to the design characteristics of the unit (e.g. presence of a cab, ...) shall be considered.

4.2.4.10.   Brake requirements for rescue purposes

All brakes (emergency, service, parking) shall be fitted with devices allowing their release and isolation. These devices shall be accessible and functional whether the train or vehicle is: powered, non-powered or immobilised without any available energy on board.

It shall be possible to rescue a train with no energy available on board by a rescue power unit equipped with a pneumatic brake system compatible with the UIC brake system (brake pipe as braking control command line), and to have a part of the brake system of the rescued train controlled by means of an interface device.

Note: See clause 4.2.2.2.4 of this TSI for mechanical interface.

The braking performance developed by the rescued train in this particular operating mode shall be evaluated by a calculation, but is not required to be the same as the braking performance described in clause 4.2.4.5.2. The calculated braking performance shall be part of the technical documentation specified in clause 4.2.12.

Environmental conditions are physical, chemical or biological conditions external to a product and to which it is subjected to at a certain time.

The design of rolling stock, as well as its constituents shall take into account the environmental conditions to which this rolling stock will be subjected to.

The environmental parameters are described in the clauses below; for each environmental parameter, a nominal range is defined, which is the most commonly encountered in Europe, and is the basis for interoperable rolling stock.

For certain environmental parameters, ranges other than the nominal one are defined; in that case, a range shall be selected for the design of the rolling stock.

For the functions identified in the clauses below, design and/or testing provisions taken to ensure that the rolling stock is meeting the TSI requirements in this range shall be described in the technical documentation.

The selected range(s) shall be recorded in the register of rolling stock, defined in clause 4.8 of this TSI, as a characteristic of the rolling stock.

Depending on the ranges selected, and on provisions taken (described in the technical documentation), relevant operating rules could be necessary to ensure the technical compatibility between the rolling stock and environmental conditions that can be met on parts of the TEN network.

In particular, operating rules are necessary when rolling stock designed for the nominal range is operated on a particular line of the TEN network where the nominal range is exceeded at certain periods of the year.

The ranges, if different than the nominal one, to be selected to avoid any restrictive operating rule(s) linked to a geographical area and climatic conditions, are specified by the Member States and are listed in the clause 7.4.

4.2.8.2.9.4.2.   CONTACT STRIP MATERIAL

CONTACT STRIP MATERIAL

Material used for the contact strips shall be mechanically and electrically compatible with the contact wire material (as specified in clause 4.2.18 of the CR energy TSI), in order to avoid excessive abrasion of the surface of the contact wires, thereby minimising wear of both contact wires and contact strips.

For contact strips used on AC lines only, plain carbon shall be permitted. For AC systems, the use of other material than those specified above is an open point.

For contact strips used on DC lines only, plain carbon, impregnated carbon with additive material or impregnated carbon with cladded copper shall be permitted; where a metallic additive material is used, the metallic content of the carbon contact strips shall not exceed a content of 40 % by weight.

For contact strips used on both AC and DC lines, plain carbon shall be permitted. For use on both AC and DC systems, the use of other material than those specified above is an open point.

Note: This open point is not safety related, and it is therefore acceptable that the operating documentation (as specified in clause 4.2.12.4) allow the use of carbon with additive material on AC lines in degraded conditions (i.e. in case of failure of the control circuit of one of the pantographs, or other failure affecting the onboard power supply) in order to continue a journey.

Note:

4.2.8.2.9.4.3.   CONTACT STRIP CHARACTERISTICS

CONTACT STRIP CHARACTERISTICS

Contact strips are the replaceable parts of the pantograph head, which are in direct contact with the contact wire and as a consequence, are prone to wear.

4.2.8.2.9.5.   PANTOGRAPH STATIC CONTACT FORCE (IC LEVEL)

The static contact force is the vertical contact force exerted upward by the pantograph head on the contact wire and caused by the pantograph-raising device, when the pantograph is raised and the vehicle is at standstill.

4.2.8.2.9.6.   PANTOGRAPH CONTACT FORCE AND DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR

The mean contact force Fm is the statistical mean value of the pantograph contact force, and is formed by the static and aerodynamic components of the contact force with dynamic correction.

m

The factors which influence the mean contact force are the pantograph itself, its position in the train consist, its vertical extension, and the rolling stock on which the pantograph is mounted.

Rolling stock and pantographs fitted on rolling stock are designed to exert a mean contact force Fm on the contact wire in a range specified in clause 4.2.16 of the CR energy TSI, in order to ensure current collection quality without undue arcing and to limit wear and hazards to contact strips. Adjustment of the contact force is made when dynamic tests are performed.

m

The verification at interoperability constituent level shall validate the dynamic behaviour of the pantograph itself, and its capability to collect current from a TSI compliant overhead contact line (see clause 6.1.2.2.6).

The verification at rolling stock subsystem level shall allow to adjust the contact force, taking into account aerodynamic effects due to the rolling stock and the position of the pantograph in the unit or train fixed or predefined formation(s) (see clause 6.2.2.2.15).

4.2.8.2.9.7.   ARRANGEMENT OF PANTOGRAPHS (RST LEVEL)

It is permissible for more than one pantograph to be simultaneously in contact with the overhead contact line equipment.

The number of pantographs and their spacing shall be designed taking into consideration the requirements of current collection performance, as defined in clause 4.2.8.2.9.6 above.

Where the spacing of 2 consecutive pantographs in fixed or pre-defined formations of the assessed unit is less than the spacing shown in clause 4.2.17 of the CR energy TSI for the selected OCL design distance type, or where more than 2 pantographs are simultaneously in contact with the overhead contact line equipment, it shall be demonstrated by testing that the current collection quality as defined in clause 4.2.8.2.9.6 above is met for the poorest performing pantograph.

The OCL design distance type (A, B or C as defined in the clause 4.2.17 of the CR energy TSI) selected (and therefore used for the test) shall be recorded in the technical documentation (see clause 4.2.12.2).

4.2.8.2.9.8.   RUNNING THROUGH PHASE OR SYSTEM SEPARATION SECTIONS (RST LEVEL)

Trains shall be designed to be able to move from one power supply system and from one phase section to an adjacent one without bridging either system or phase separation sections.

When running through phase separation sections, it shall be possible to bring the power consumption of the unit to zero as required in the clause 4.2.19 of the CR energy TSI. The infrastructure register gives information on the permitted pantographs position: lowered or raised (with permitted pantograph arrangements) when running through systems or phase separation sections.

Rolling stock designed for several power supply systems shall, when running through system separation sections, recognise automatically the voltage of the power supply system at the pantograph.

4.2.8.2.9.9.   INSULATION OF PANTOGRAPH FROM THE VEHICLE (RST LEVEL)

The pantographs shall be assembled on an electric unit in a way that ensures they are insulated from earth. The insulation shall be adequate for all system voltages.

The pantograph shall lower to the stowed position in less than 10 seconds.

When lowering the pantograph, the main circuit breaker shall previously be opened automatically.

If an electric unit is equipped with an automatic dropping device (ADD) that lowers the pantograph in case of a collector head failure, the ADD shall meet the requirements of clause 4.8 of EN50206-1:2010.

It shall be allowed to equip electric units with an ADD.

Mandatory requirement for electric units designed for a maximum speed higher or equal to 100 km/h to be equipped with an ADD is an open point.

4.2.8.2.10.   Electrical protection of the train

Electrical protection of the train

Electric units shall be protected against internal short –circuits (from inside the unit).

The location of the main circuit breaker shall be such as to protect the onboard high voltage circuits, including any high voltage connections between vehicles. The pantograph, the main circuit breaker, and the high voltage connection between them shall be located on the same vehicle.

In order to prevent electric hazards, any unintentional energisation shall be avoided; the control of the main circuit breaker is a safety related function; the safety level required is an open point.

| --- | --- |

—

Production phase: routine test to verify the conformity of production.

The entity in charge of the assessment of the routine tests is determined according to the assessment module chosen.

The Annex H is structured according to the Section 4.2, which defines the requirements and their assessment applicable to the rolling stock subsystem; where relevant, a reference to a sub-clause of the clause 6.2.2.2 above is also given.

In particular, where a type test is identified in the Annex H, the Section 4.2 shall be considered for the conditions and requirements related to this test.

Where several EC verifications (e.g. against several TSIs addressing the same subsystem) require verification based on the same production assessment (module SD or SF), it is allowed to combine several SB module assessments with one production module assessment (SD or SF). In this case, ISVs shall be issued for the design and development phases according to module SB.

If module SB is used, the validity of the EC declaration of intermediate subsystem conformity shall be indicated in accordance with the provisions for phase B of clause 7.1.3 ‘Rules related to the EC verification’, of this TSI.

6.2.3.   Innovative solutions

Innovative solutions

If rolling stock includes an innovative solution (as defined in clause 4.1.1), the applicant shall state the deviations from the relevant provisions of the TSI, and submit them to the Commission for analysis.

In case the analysis results in a favourable opinion, the appropriate functional and interface specifications as well as the assessment methods which are necessary to be included in the TSI in order to allow this solution will be developed.

The appropriate functional and interface specifications and the assessment methods so produced shall then be incorporated in the TSI by the revision process.

By the notification of a decision of the Commission, taken in accordance with Article 29 of Directive 2008/57/EC, the innovative solution may be permitted to be used before being incorporated into the TSI by the revision process.

6.2.4.   Assessment of documentation requested for operation and maintenance

Assessment of documentation requested for operation and maintenance

According to Article 18 (3) of Directive 2008/57/EC, a notified body shall be responsible for compiling the technical file, containing the documentation requested for operation and maintenance.

6.2.6.   Assessment of units intended to be used in general operation

Assessment of units intended to be used in general operation

Where a new, upgraded or renewed unit to be used in general operation is subject to assessment against this TSI (in accordance with clause 4.1.2), some of the TSI requirements require a reference train for their assessment. This is mentioned in the relevant provisions of Section 4. Similarly, some of the TSI requirements at train level are not able to be assessed at unit level; such cases are described for the relevant requirements in Section 4.2 of this TSI.

The area of use in terms of type of RST which, coupled with the unit to be assessed, ensures that the train is compliant with the TSI is not verified by the notified body.

After such a unit has received the authorisation to be placed in service, its use in a train formation (whether TSI compliant or not) shall be dealt with under the responsibility of the Railway Undertaking, according to the rules defined in clause 4.2.2.5 of the CR OPE TSI.

6.2.7.   Assessment of units intended to be used in pre-defined formation(s)

Assessment of units intended to be used in pre-defined formation(s)

Where a new, upgraded or renewed unit to be included in pre-defined formation(s) is subject to assessment (in accordance with chapter 4.1.2), the EC certificate of verification shall identify the formation(s) for which the assessment is valid: the type of RST coupled with the unit to be assessed, number of vehicles in the formation(s), arrangement of the vehicles in the formation(s) that will ensure that the train formation will be compliant with this TSI.

TSI requirements at train level shall be assessed with use of a reference train formation when and as specified in this TSI.

After such a unit has received the authorisation to be placed in service, it may be coupled with other units to constitute the formations mentioned in the EC certificate of verification.

6.2.8.   Particular case: Assessment of units intended to be included in an existing fixed formation

Particular case: Assessment of units intended to be included in an existing fixed formation

6.2.8.1.   Context

Context

This particular case of assessment applies in case of replacement of a part of a fixed formation, which has already been placed in service.

Two cases are described below, depending on the TSI status of the fixed formation.

The part of the fixed formation subject to the assessment is called ‘unit’ in the text below.

6.2.8.2.   Case of a TSI compliant fixed formation

Case of a TSI compliant fixed formation

Where a new, upgraded or renewed unit to be included in an existing fixed formation is subject to assessment against this TSI, and a valid EC certificate of verification for the existing fixed formation is available, a TSI assessment only for the new unit is required in order to update the certificate of the existing fixed formation, which is considered as renewed (see also clause 7.1.2.2).

6.2.8.3.   Case of a non-TSI compliant fixed formation

Case of a non-TSI compliant fixed formation

Where a new, upgraded or renewed unit to be included in an existing fixed formation is subject to assessment against this TSI, and a valid EC certificate of verification for the existing fixed formation is not available, the EC certificate of verification shall state that the assessment does not cover the TSI requirements applicable to the fixed formation, but only the assessed unit.

(c)

for those interoperability constituents, the reason(s) why the manufacturer did not provide an EC declaration of conformity or suitability for use before its incorporation into the subsystem, including the application of national rules notified under Article 17 of Directive 2008/57/EC.

6.3.3.   Maintenance of the subsystems certified according to clause 6.3.1

Maintenance of the subsystems certified according to clause 6.3.1

During the transition period as well as after the transition period has ended, until the subsystem is upgraded, renewed (taking into account the MS’s decision on application of TSIs), the interoperability constituents which do not hold an EC declaration of conformity or suitability for use and of the same type are permitted to be used as maintenance related replacements (spare parts) for the subsystem, under the responsibility of the ECM.

In any case the ECM must ensure that the components for maintenance related replacements are suitable for their applications, are used within their area of use, and enable interoperability to be achieved within the rail system while at the same time meeting the essential requirements. Such components must be traceable and certified in accordance with any national or international rule, or any code of practice widely acknowledged in the railway domain.

7.1.3.   Rules related to the type or design examination certificates

Rules related to the type or design examination certificates

7.1.3.1.   Rolling stock subsystem

Rolling stock subsystem

This clause concerns a rolling stock type (unit type in the context of this TSI), as defined in Article 2(w) of Directive 2008/57/EC, which is subject to an EC type or design verification procedure in accordance with the clause 6.2.2.1 of this TSI.

The TSI assessment basis for a ‘type or design examination’ is defined in columns 2 and 3 (design and development phase) of Annex H of this TSI.

Phase A

Phase A

Phase A starts once a notified body, which is responsible for EC verification, is appointed by the applicant and ends when the EC type examination certificate is issued.

The TSI assessment basis for a type is defined for a phase A period, with a duration of maximum seven years. During the phase A period the assessment basis for EC verification to be used by the notified body will not change.

When a revised version of this TSI comes into force during the phase A period, it is permissible but not mandatory to use the revised version.

Phase B

Phase B

The phase B period defines the period of validity of the type examination certificate once it is issued by the notified body. During this time, units may be EC certified on the basis of conformity to type.

The type examination certificate of EC verification for the subsystem is valid for a seven year phase B period after its issue date, even if a revision of this TSI comes into force. During this time, new rolling stock of the same type is permitted to be placed in service on the basis of an EC declaration of verification referring to the type certificate of verification.

Modifications to a type or design already bearing an EC certificate of verification

Modifications to a type or design already bearing an EC certificate of verification

For modifications to a rolling stock type already bearing a type or design examination certificate of verification, the following rules apply:

| — | The changes are permitted to be dealt with by only reassessing those modifications which influence the basic parameters of the latest revision of this TSI in force at that time. |
| --- | --- |

—

The changes are permitted to be dealt with by only reassessing those modifications which influence the basic parameters of the latest revision of this TSI in force at that time.

| — | In order to establish the certificate of EC verification, the notified body is permitted to refer to:






  — | the original type or design examination certificate for parts of the design that are unchanged, as far as it is still valid (during 7 years phase B period), |
| --- | --- | --- |

—

In order to establish the certificate of EC verification, the notified body is permitted to refer to:

—

the original type or design examination certificate for parts of the design that are unchanged, as far as it is still valid (during 7 years phase B period),

| — | additional type or design examination certificate (amending the original certificate) for modified parts of the design which influence the basic parameters of the latest revision of this TSI in force at that time. |
| --- | --- |

—

additional type or design examination certificate (amending the original certificate) for modified parts of the design which influence the basic parameters of the latest revision of this TSI in force at that time.

7.1.3.2.   Interoperability constituents

Interoperability constituents

This clause concerns an interoperability constituent which is subject to type examination (module SB) or to suitability for use (module CV).

The type or design examination or suitability for use certificate is valid for a five year period. During this time, new constituents of the same type are permitted to be placed into service without a new type assessment. Before the end of the five-year period, the constituent shall be assessed according to the latest revision of this TSI in force at that time, for those requirements that have changed or are new in comparison to the certification basis.

7.2.   Compatibility with other subsystems

Compatibility with other subsystems

The conventional rail ‘Locomotives and passenger trains’ TSI has been developed with consideration of other subsystems being compliant to their respective conventional rail TSIs. Accordingly, interfaces with the conventional rail fixed installations infrastructure, energy and control-command subsystems are addressed for subsystems compliant with the CR INF, ENE, CCS TSIs.

Following this, the implementation methods and phases concerning rolling stock depend on the progress of implementation of the conventional rail infrastructure, energy, control-command and signalling TSIs.

Furthermore, TSIs covering the conventional rail fixed installations allow for variants.

For rolling stock, these variants will be part of the technical characteristics to be recorded in the ‘European register of authorised types of vehicles’, according to Article 34 of Directive 2008/57/EC.

For infrastructure, they will be part of the main features recorded in the ‘Register of infrastructure’, according to Article 35 of Directive 2008/57/EC.

7.5.   Aspects that have to be considered in the revision process or in other activities of the Agency

Aspects that have to be considered in the revision process or in other activities of the Agency

Further to the analysis performed during the drafting process of this TSI, particular aspects have being identified as of interest for the future development of the EU railway system.

These aspects are of 3 different groups:

| 1. | Those already subject of a basic parameter in this TSI, with a possible evolution of the corresponding specification when the TSI will be revised. |
| --- | --- |

1.

| --- | --- |

3.

Those relevant in the framework of on-going studies related to the EU railway system, which are not in the scope of TSIs.

These aspects are identified below, classified according to the breakdown of the clause 4.2 of the TSI.

7.5.1.   Aspects related to a basic parameter in this TSI

Aspects related to a basic parameter in this TSI

7.5.1.1.   Axle load parameter (clause 4.2.3.2.1)

Axle load parameter (clause 4.2.3.2.1)

This basic parameter covers the interface between infrastructure and rolling stock regarding the vertical load.

According to the CR INF TSI, the lines are classified as specified in the standard EN 15528:2008. This standard specifies also a categorisation of railway vehicles, for freight wagons and particular types of locomotives and passenger vehicles; it will be revised to cover all types of rolling stock.

When this revision will be available, it may be of interest to include in the EC certificate delivered by the notified body the ‘design’ classification of the unit under assessment:

| — | Classification corresponding to the design mass under normal payload. |
| --- | --- |

—

Classification corresponding to the design mass under normal payload.

| — | Classification corresponding to the design mass under exceptional payload. |
| --- | --- |

—

Classification corresponding to the design mass under exceptional payload.

This aspect will have to be considered when revising this TSI, which already requires in its present version to record all data necessary to determine these classifications.

It has to be noted that the requirement to the RU to define and control the operational load, as specified in the clause 4.2.2.5 of the CR OPE TSI will remain unchanged.

7.5.1.2.   Track loading limit value (clause 4.2.3.4.2.2)

Track loading limit value (clause 4.2.3.4.2.2)

This set of basic parameters specifies the limit values for track loading (quasi-static guiding force, quasi-static wheel force, maximum wheel force).

The limit values specified are applicable for axle loads in the range of those mentioned in the clause 4.2.2 of the CR INF TSI; for track designed for higher axle loads, harmonised track loading limits values are not defined.

Regarding the quasi-static guiding force, in case the specified limit is exceeded, the operational performance of the rolling stock (e.g. maximum speed) may be limited by the infrastructure, considering track characteristics (e.g. curve radius, cant, rail height).

The specification of these limit values may need to be complemented when revising this TSI.

Regarding the ‘quasi-static guiding force’, its value is required to be recording in the present revision of the TSI; it will be included in the ‘European register of authorised types of vehicles’.

7.5.1.3.   Aerodynamic effects (clause 4.2.6.2)

Aerodynamic effects (clause 4.2.6.2)

Requirements on ‘slipstream effects’ and head ‘pressure pulse’ have been set up in consistency with the HS RST TSI for units of maximum operating speed strictly higher than 160 km/h.

This speed threshold has been defined considering that the return of experience of train operated at higher speed than 160 km/h in the environment of the conventional rail system is very limited.

The return of experience regarding the requirements themselves, and regarding their conformity assessment is expected to increase significantly in the next years, further to the application of the HS RST TSI, and also in the framework of European research projects (Aerotrain).

Therefore, it is planned when revising this TSI to review the requirements with 2 objectives:

| — | Ensure that they fit to the operational need of railway undertaking; for example, it may be of interest to define how they may be used to define speed limitations in particular circumstances (train running through a station, through a tunnel, crossing of trains ...). |
| --- | --- |

Aspects not related to a basic parameter in this TSI but are subject to research projects

7.5.2.1.   Additional requirements for security reasons

Additional requirements for security reasons

The interior of vehicles interfacing with passengers and train crew should provide protection of the occupants in the event of a collision by providing means of:

| — | minimising the risk of injury due to secondary impact with such furniture and interior fixtures and fittings, |
| --- | --- |

—

minimising the risk of injury due to secondary impact with such furniture and interior fixtures and fittings,

| — | minimising those injuries that may preclude subsequent escape. |
| --- | --- |

—

minimising those injuries that may preclude subsequent escape.

Some EU research projects have been launched in 2006 to study the consequence of railway accidents (collision, derailment ...) on passengers, to evaluate in particular the risk and level of injuries; the objective is to define requirements and corresponding conformity assessment procedures related to the railway vehicles interior layouts and components.

This TSI already provides a number of specifications in order to cover such risks, for example, Sections 4.2.2.5, 4.2.2.7, 4.2.2.9 and 4.2.5.

More recently, studies have been launched at Member State level and at European level (by the Commission Joint Research Centre) regarding the protection of the passengers in the event of terrorist attack.

The Agency will follow these studies, and will consider their outcome to define if additional basic parameters or requirements covering the risk of injuries of passengers in case of accident or terrorist attack shall be recommended to the Commission. Where appropriate this TSI shall be amended.

Pending the revision of this TSI Member States may use national rules to cover such risks. In any case this shall not prevent the access of TSI compliant rolling stock operating across Member State borders onto their national network.

7.5.3.   Aspects relevant for the EU railway system but out of the scope of TSIs

Aspects relevant for the EU railway system but out of the scope of TSIs

7.5.3.1.   Track interaction (clause 4.2.3) — Flange or rail lubrication

Track interaction (clause 4.2.3) — Flange or rail lubrication

During the drafting process of this TSI, it has been concluded that the ‘flange or rail lubrication’ is not a basic parameter (no link to essential requirements as defined in the Directive).

Nevertheless, it appears that the actors of the railway sector (IMs, RUs, NSAs) need a support from the Agency in order to move from the current practices to an approach that will ensure transparency and will avoid any unjustified barrier to the circulation of rolling stock on the EU network.

To that end, the Agency has suggested to launch a study together with EIM, with the objective to clarify the key technical and economic aspects of this function, considering the current situation:

| — | Lubrication is required by some infrastructure managers, but also forbidden by others. |
| --- | --- |

—

Lubrication is required by some infrastructure managers, but also forbidden by others.

| — | Lubrication may be provided by means of fixed installation designed by the infrastructure manager or by means of onboard device to be provided by the railway undertaking. |
| --- | --- |

—

Lubrication may be provided by means of fixed installation designed by the infrastructure manager or by means of onboard device to be provided by the railway undertaking.

| — | Environmental aspects have to be considered when releasing grease along the track. |
| --- | --- |

—

Environmental aspects have to be considered when releasing grease along the track.

In any case, it is planned to include in the ‘Infrastructure Register’ information on ‘flange or rail lubrication’, and the ‘European register of authorised types of vehicles’ will mention if the rolling stock is fitted with onboard flange lubrication. The study mentioned above will clarify operating rules.

In the meantime, Member States may continue to use national rules in order to cover this issue of the vehicle-track interface. Those rules shall be made available either through notification to the Commission in accordance with Article 17 of Directive 2008/57/EC or through the Infrastructure Register referred to in Article 35 of the same Directive.

ANNEX A

BUFFERS AND SCREW COUPLING SYSTEM

A.1.   BUFFERS

When buffers are fitted to a unit end, they shall be paired (i.e. symmetrical and opposite handed) and have the same characteristics.

The height of the centre line of the buffers shall be between 980 mm and 1 065 mm above rail level in all loading and wear conditions.

For car carriers under maximum load and locomotives, the minimum height of 940 mm is allowed.

The standard distance between buffer centrelines shall be nominally 1 750 mm ± 10 mm symmetrically about the centreline of the vehicle. It is permitted for dual gauge units intended for running between standard gauge networks and broad gauge networks to have a different value of the distance between buffer centrelines (e.g. 1 850 mm), provided that full compatibility with buffers for standard 1 435 mm gauge is ensured.

Buffers shall be sized so that in horizontal curves and reverse curves, it is not possible for vehicles to lock buffers. The minimum horizontal overlap between buffer heads in contact shall be 25 mm.

Assessment test:

The determination of the buffer size has to be made with two vehicles going through a S-curve of 190 m radius without intermediate straight section (track gauge 1,458 m) and in a S-curve of 150 m radius with intermediate straight section of at least 6 m (track gauge 1,470 m).

A.2.   SCREW COUPLING

The height of the centre line of the draw hook shall be between 950 mm and 1 045 mm above rail level in all loading and wear conditions.

For car carriers under maximum load and locomotives, the minimum height of 920 mm is allowed. The maximum height difference of the hook centreline of the vehicle between ‘vehicle empty (design mass in working order) with new wheels’ and ‘vehicle loaded (normal design payload) with fully worn wheels’ shall not exceed 85 mm for the same vehicle. Assessment shall be done by calculation.

Each vehicle end shall have a facility for supporting a shackle when it is not in use. No part of the coupler assembly shall reach below 140 mm above rail level in the lowest admissible position of the buffers.
