            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/1694
of 10 August 2023
         
amending Regulations (EU) No 321/2013, (EU) No 1299/2014, (EU) No 1300/2014, (EU) No 1301/2014, (EU) No 1302/2014, (EU) No 1304/2014 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/777
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the interoperability of the rail system within the European Union (1), and in particular Article 5(11) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Having regard to the role railways are called on to play in a decarbonised transport system, as envisaged by the European Green Deal and the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, and in the light of developments in that field, a revision of the current Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs) is required, in the framework of the Digital Rail and Green Freight package.












(2)


Pursuant to Article 3(5), points (b) and (f) of Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2017/1474 (2) TSIs are to be reviewed in order to take into account the developments of the Union railway system and related research and innovation activities, and update references to standards. This TSI revision shall set the scene for the next TSI revision taking into account the outcomes of Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking and in particular the System Pillar achievements.












(3)


Delegated Decision (EU) 2017/1474 sets out specific objectives for the drafting, adoption and review of TSIs of the rail system within the Union.












(4)


On 24 January 2020, in accordance with Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) No 2016/796 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the Commission requested the European Union Agency for Railways (the 'Agency') to prepare recommendations implementing a selection of the specific objectives set out in Delegated Decision (EU) 2017/1474.












(5)


On 30 June 2022, the Agency issued Recommendation ERA 1175-1218 as regards the TSIs of the Union rail system covering Articles 3 to 11 of Delegated Decision (EU) 2017/1474.












(6)


It is appropriate for combined transport to be regulated through TSIs. Changes should accordingly be made, inter alia, to the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/773 (4) (OPE TSI) and TSIs set out in the Annexes to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1299/2014 (5) (TSI INF) and Commission Regulation (EU) No 321/2013 (6) (TSI WAG) and in the content of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/777 (7) (RINF). This should enable a more harmonised application of the codification system and foster the development of combined transport; for that purpose ERA will further develop an Acceptable Mean Of Compliance in accordance with Article 2(33) of Directive (EU) 2016/797.












(7)


The Union-wide authorization of passenger coaches will be a major step in fostering interoperability of the European railway network. In pursuit of that objective, the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1302/2014 (8) (TSI LOC&PAS) should be amended, in particular by harmonizing requirements and testing methods in terms of the topic of electromagnetic compatibility and compatibility with train detection systems.












(8)


The TSIs LOC&PAS and INF should be amended with a view to harmonizing the specifications applicable to rolling stock and fixed installations, notably by closing open points as regards requirements on traffic loads and load carrying capacity of infrastructure, requirements for operations with more than two pantographs at the same time, and facilitating the retrofitting of trains with Energy Measuring Systems.












(9)


Furthermore, TSI LOC&PAS should be amended to clarify the definition of special vehicles including on-track machines, infrastructure inspection vehicles, emergency vehicles, environment vehicles and road-rail vehicles and clarify the applicability of the TSIs to those vehicles.












(10)


The Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1304/2014 (9) (TSI NOI) should be amended to introduce a methodology to assess the acoustic performance of composite brake blocks at constituent level.












(11)


To enhance the level of rail safety and reliability, the TSIs WAG and LOC&PAS should be amended to incorporate a derailment detection function.












(12)


TSI WAG paves the way to the further digital automatic coupling (DAC) development, migration and implementation; its deployment will be a major step in modernising the European railway freight business.












(13)


Given that no specific new competence is required for the assessment of conformity of interoperability constituents or the verification of subsystems, there should be no change as regards the notified bodies for the purposes of Commission Regulations (EU) 321/2013, (EU) 1299/2014, (EU) 1300/2014 (10), (EU) 1301/2014 (11), (EU) 1302/2014 and (EU) 1304/2014.












(14)


It should be clarified when to apply the TSIs INF and the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1301/2014 (TSI ENE) in case of upgrade or renewal of existing subsystems and fixed installations, in order to ensure a gradual transition to a fully interoperable European railway system, in accordance with Article 4 of Directive (EU) 2016/797.












(15)


The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1300/2014 (TSI PRM) should be amended to better define the basic parameters which facilitate access to railway services for persons with reduced mobility, including the introduction of the concept of interoperable wheelchair transportable by train. Further clarifications are required concerning ticket vending machines and provision of travel information in aural, visual and tactile form.












(16)


References to standards require regular updates. In order to facilitate future updates, all details about standards should be gathered in dedicated appendices to each TSI, which can then be amended without amending the TSI core text. Such approach enables the applicants to use modern IT tools which perform better for requirements capture. All TSIs on Fixed Installations and Rolling Stock should be amended accordingly.












(17)


The railway infrastructure parameters registered in the Register of Infrastructure (RINF) should also evolve, in particular by amending, the tables listing such parameters consistently with other amendments included in this Regulation and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2023/1695 (12) and (EU) 2023/1693 (13), by making the infrastructure manager the data provider replacing the national registration entity which may keep a coordination role, and by identifying future developments.












(18)


Therefore the following Regulations should be amended accordingly:






(1)


Regulation (EU) No 321/2013 (TSI WAG);










(2)


Regulation (EU) No 1299/2014 (TSI INF);










(3)


Regulation (EU) No 1300/2014(TSI PRM);










(4)


Regulation (EU) No 1301/2014 (TSI ENE);

(5)  The maximum mean retardation force allowed (for running speed at 100 km/h) is

(7)  
            

, with Te = 2 sec. Distance calculation in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix D Index [16].

(8)  An ‘S2’ unit is a unit with a variable load relay. The maximum load per axle is 22,5 t.

(9)  The automatic-load controlled equipment of wagons worked under s conditions can provide a maximum braked weight of λ = 100%, up to load limit equal to 67 % of the maximum permissible wagon weight.
For standard wheelset with using the max axle load
Max 1 000 mm; minimal worn 840 mm, max axle load 22,5t,

Max axle load 16 t, Max axle load for λ=100: 10,5 t

(10)  An ‘SS’ unit shall be equipped with a variable load relay. The maximum load per axle is 22,5 t.

(11)  λ must not exceed 125 %, considering for braking only on wheels (brake blocks), the maximum mean retardation force allowed of 16 kN/axle (for running speed at 120 km/h).

(12)  The requirement by a running speed of 120 km/h is to fulfil λ = 100 % up to the SS load limit, with following derogation: the mean retardation force for tread brake with wheel diameter [new max 1 000mm, worn min. 840 mm] shall be limited to 16 kN/wheelset. This limit is caused by the maximum admissible braking energy corresponding to 20 t axle load with λ = 90 % and 18 t braked weight per wheelset.
If a braked weight percentage of more than 100 % is required with an axle load of more than 18 t, it is necessary to realize another type of brake system (for example disc brakes) to limit the thermal load on the wheel.’

Capability requirements for existing structures in accordance with traffic code
The minimum capability requirements for existing bridges in accordance with point 4.2.7.4(2) are set out in Table 38A and Table 39A in accordance with the traffic codes given in Table 2 and Table 3. These capability requirements are set out using the vertical loading only defined by the EN line category with a corresponding speed or by LM71 with the factor alpha. Additional dynamic capability requirements are expressed by the dynamic load model HSLM. The EN line category and associated speed shall be considered as a single combined quantity.
The minimum capability requirements for existing geotechnical structures and earthworks in accordance with point 4.2.7.4(2) are set out in Table 38B and Table 39B in accordance with the traffic codes given in Table 2 and Table 3.
EN line categories are a function of axle load and geometrical aspects relating to the spacing of axles and are set out in the specification referenced in Appendix T, Index [2].
For continuous bridges, the case with most onerous effects between Load Model 71 (LM71) and Load Model SW/0 shall be taken into account. LM71, Load Model SW/0 and Load Model HSLM are set out in the specification referenced in Appendix T, Index [10].

Notes:









(1)



The indicated speed value in the tables represents the maximum requirement for the line and may be lower in accordance with the requirements in point 4.2.1(12). When checking individual structures on the line, it is acceptable to take account the local allowed speeds as also indicated in the notes 2 and 3 of Table 2 and in the note 1 of Table 3.











(2)



Passenger Carriages (including Coaches, Vans, Car Carriers), Other Vehicles, Locomotives, Power Heads, Diesel and Electric Multiple Units, Power Units and Railcars are defined in the TSI LOC&PAS. Light Freight Wagons are defined as vans except that they are allowed to be conveyed in formations which are not intended to convey passengers.











(3)



The requirements for structures set out using EN line categories or load model LM71 are compatible with up to two adjacent coupled locomotives and/or power heads. The requirements for structures are compatible with a maximum speed of 120 km/h for three or more adjacent coupled locomotives and/or power heads (or a train of locomotives and/or power heads) subject to the locomotives and/or power heads satisfying the corresponding limits for freight wagons.











(4)



For traffic codes P2, P3 and P4, the requirements for both traffic with loco hauled trains and traffic with multiple units shall apply. For traffic code P5, the Member State may indicate whether the requirements for locomotives and power heads apply.











(5)



The requirements for structures are compatible with carriages, light freight wagons and electric or diesel multiple units with an average mass per unit length over the length of each vehicle of 2.45 t/m for EN line category A, 2.75 t/m for EN line category B1, 3.1 t/m for EN line category C2 and 3.5 t/m for EN line category D2 (not for P5).











(6)



The requirements for structures are compatible with 4 axle locomotive and power heads with a spacing of the axles in a bogie of at least 2.6 m and the average mass per unit length over the length of the vehicle of up to 5.0 t/m.











(7)



Taking into account the state of the art of operation there is no need to define harmonized requirements to deliver an adequate level of interoperability for these types of vehicles for the traffic code P1.











(8)



For P1 and P2 lines, compliance with HSLM in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix T, Index [10] shall be stated (see procedure in point 6.2.4.10 of this TSI). If HSLM compliance cannot be shown, for the purpose of dynamic compatibility checks set out in accordance with the route compatibility check in Appendix D.1 to the TSI OPE (RINF parameter 1.1.1.1.2.4.4), the dynamic loading, to which the compatibility with existing bridges should be checked, shall be provided in the documents with the procedure(s) as set out in RINF parameter 1.1.1.1.2.4.4 (see also procedure in point 6.2.4.10 of this TSI). When a dynamic analysis has to be undertaken with load models based on individual trains, the characteristic value of the loading for passengers or luggage carrying vehicles shall be in accordance with the design mass under normal payload in accordance with Appendix K of this TSI.











(9)



For avoiding excessive dynamic effects including resonance, currently it is not possible to specify harmonized minimum bridge properties to obviate the need for a dynamic appraisal. The dynamic loading from vehicles satisfying the bridge static loading requirements (specified as either a Line Category in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix T, Index [2] or in terms of load model LM71) can in a number of cases exceed these normal bridge static loading requirements (when these static loadings are enhanced by normal industry allowances for dynamic factors for bridge recalculation or bridge design). This risk to compatibility between vehicles and bridges is managed by the dynamic compatibility checks set out in Appendix D.1 to the TSI OPE (RINF parameter 1.1.1.1.2.4.4). When a dynamic analysis has to be undertaken with load models based on individual trains, the characteristic value of the loading for passengers or luggage carrying vehicles shall be in accordance with the design mass under normal payload in accordance with Appendix K of this TSI.











(10)



The requirements for loco hauled passenger trains are valid for carriages and light freight wagons satisfying EN line category A for speeds up to 200 km/h (local allowed speed) or EN line category C2 for speeds up to 160 km/h (local allowed speed).











(11)



The requirements for loco hauled passenger trains are valid for carriages and light freight wagons satisfying EN line category C2 for speeds up to 160 km/h (local allowed speed).











(12)



The requirements for loco hauled passenger trains are valid for carriages and light freight wagons satisfying line EN category A for speeds up to 200 km/h (local allowed speed) or EN line category B1 for speeds up to 160 km/h (local allowed speed).











(13)



The requirements for loco hauled passenger trains are valid for carriages and light freight wagons satisfying EN line category B1 for speeds up to 160 km/h (local allowed speed).











(14)



The requirements set out using EN line categories or load model LM71 can be fulfilled either via EN line category with the corresponding speed or with LM71 with the factor alpha in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix T, Index [10]. The decision between the two available options, not necessarily the most onerous, is to be made exclusively by the applicant. EN line category with the corresponding speed is based on static loading multiplied by a dynamic amplification factor.











(15)



Where the minimum capability requirements for a traffic code given in Table 38A are given for example in the form L>=4m D2-100 (*7) and L<4m D2-200 (*8), the relevant criteria in accordance with the loaded length L of the bridge element being considered shall be satisfied. EN line category with the corresponding speed is based on static loading multiplied by a dynamic amplification factor.

Specific Case Spain ‘P’
                        
In the Spanish network, it is possible to operate trains with a design gauge narrower than the structure gauge considered for the installation of platforms (see Note). That situation might cause a wider horizontal gap between train and platform. Therefore, the railway undertaking and the infrastructure manager or station manager involved shall perform a shared risk management, in the following cases:






(a)


for rolling stock intended to operate on 1 668 mm track gauge lines, when the nose of the access step is located outside the area defined in Table 23 for δh = 200 mm and in Table 24 for δh = 290 mm;










(b)


for rolling stock intended to operate on 1 435 mm track gauge on three-rails lines, when the shared rail is in the farthest position from the platform.
Note: a vehicle gauge is narrower than a structure gauge if the semi-width of the reference kinematic profile of the vehicle gauge, measured at platform level, is smaller than the semi-width of the reference kinematic profile of the structure gauge.

‘Appendix F
Renewal or upgrade of rolling stock
Where parts of a rolling stock are renewed or upgraded, they shall comply with the requirements of this TSI; compliance with the content of this TSI is not mandatory in the following cases:

Structures

Compliance is not mandatory if the work would require structural alterations to door portals (interior or external), underframes, collision pillars, vehicle bodies, vehicle over-ride protection, or more generally if the work would necessitate re-validation of the vehicle structural integrity.

Seats

Compliance with point 4.2.2.1 with regard to seat back grab handles is only mandatory if the seat structures are renewed or upgraded within an entire vehicle.
Compliance with point 4.2.2.1.2 with regard to the dimensions of priority seats and their surroundings is only mandatory if the seating layout is altered within an entire train and this can be achieved without reducing the existing capacity of the train. In that case, the maximum number of priority seats shall be provided.
Compliance with requirements regarding headroom above priority seating is not mandatory if the limiting factor is a luggage rack that is not being structurally altered during the renewal or upgrading work.

Wheelchair spaces

The provision of wheelchair spaces is only required when the seating layout is altered within a complete train formation. However, if the entrance doorway, or clearways, cannot be modified to enable wheelchair access, a wheelchair space does not need to be provided if the seating layout is altered. Wheelchair spaces created in an existing rolling stock may be arranged in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix A, Index [16].
The provision of call for aid devices at the wheelchair positions is not mandatory if the vehicle does not have an electrical communications system that can be adapted to include such a device.
The provision of a transfer seat is only mandatory when it does not require modifying the layout of an existing wheelchair space.

Exterior doors

Compliance with requirements to define the interior position of external doorways by contrast at floor level is only mandatory when the floor covering is renewed or upgraded.
Compliance with requirements to provide door opening and closing signals is only mandatory when the door control system is renewed or upgraded.
Full compliance with requirements regarding the position and illumination of door controls is only mandatory when the door control system is renewed or upgraded and when the controls can be re-positioned without alteration to the vehicle structure or door. However, in such an event, the renewed or upgraded controls shall be installed as close as possible to the compliant position.

Interior doors

Compliance with the requirements for door control operation operating forces and positioning is only mandatory if the door and door mechanism and/or control is being upgraded or renewed.

Lighting

Compliance with the requirement is not required if it can be established that there is insufficient capacity in the electrical system to support additional load, or that such lighting cannot locally be accommodated without structural alterations (doorways etc.).

Toilets

Provision of a fully compliant universal toilet is only mandatory when existing toilets are being completely renewed or upgraded and a wheelchair space is provided, and a compliant universal toilet can be accommodated without structural alteration to the vehicle body.
The provision of call for aid devices in the universal toilet is not mandatory if the vehicle does not have an electrical communications system that can be adapted to include such a device.

Clearways

Compliance with the requirements of point 4.2.2.6 is only mandatory if the seating layout is altered within an entire vehicle and a wheelchair space is being provided.
Compliance with the requirements for clearways between connecting vehicles is only mandatory if the gangway is being renewed or upgraded.

Information

Compliance with the requirements of point 4.2.2.7 in respect of route information is not mandatory at renewal or upgrade. However, where an automated route information system is installed as part of a renewal or upgrade programme, it shall comply with the requirements of that point.
Compliance with the other parts of point 4.2.2.7 shall be mandatory whenever signage or interior finishes are renewed or upgraded.

Height Changes

Compliance with the requirements of point 4.2.2.8 is not mandatory at renewal or upgrade. However, a contrasting warning band on step nosings shall be provided when tread surface materials are renewed or upgraded.

Handrails

Compliance with the requirements of point 4.2.2.9 is only mandatory where existing handrails are being renewed or upgraded.

Wheelchair accessible sleeping accommodation

Compliance with the requirement to provide wheelchair accessible sleeping accommodation is only mandatory when existing sleeping accommodation is being renewed or upgraded.
The provision of call for aid devices in the wheelchair accessible sleeping accommodation is not mandatory if the vehicle does not have an electrical communications system that can be adapted to include such a device.

Step positions, steps and boarding aids

Compliance with the requirements of points 4.2.2.11 and 4.2.2.12 is not mandatory at renewal or upgrade. However, if moveable steps or other integral boarding aids are fitted, they shall comply with the relevant provisions of those points.
However, if a wheelchair space in accordance with point 4.2.2.3 is created at renewal or upgrade, then it shall be mandatory to provide some form of boarding aid in accordance with point 4.4.3.

The geographical coverage of the upgrading shall be defined based on locations on tracks and metric references and shall result in the compliance of all basic parameters of the energy subsystem associated with the tracks that are subject to the upgrading of the energy subsystem.
The addition of one or more rails supporting a further track gauge is also considered as upgrade when the performance criteria of the subsystem is triggered as described in point 7.3.1.










(2)


In the event of a change other than an upgrading of the energy subsystem, the application of this TSI for each of the basic parameters (referred to in point 4.2.2) affected by the change shall be compulsory when the change requires carrying out a new ‘EC’ verification procedure in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/250 (*1). Provisions defined in Articles 6 and 7 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/250 shall apply.










(3)


In the event of a change other than an upgrading of the energy subsystem and for those basic parameters that are not affected by the change, or when the change does not require a new ‘EC’ verification, the demonstration of the level of compliance with this TSI is voluntary.










(4)


In case of ‘major substitution, as defined in Article 2(15) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*2), in the framework of a ‘renewal’, non TSI-compliant elements of the subsystem or part(s) of it shall systematically be replaced with TSI-compliant ones.










(5)


‘Substitution in the framework of maintenance’ means any replacement of components by parts of identical function and performance in the framework of maintenance, as defined in Article 2(17) of Directive (EU) 2016/797. It shall be made in accordance with the requirements of this TSI, whenever reasonably and economically feasible and it does not require an ‘EC’ verification.










(6)


For the existing energy subsystem, in the event of a change other than an upgrading, for the maximum lateral deviation of the OCL, it is permitted to deviate from the requirement in point 4.2.9.2. as long as the Infrastructure Manager has provided evidence that TSI compliant rolling stock with a TSI compliant pantograph (as described in point 7.1.2.1 of this TSI) has already operated under the same OCL design installed in the network without occurring any incident.




7.3.3.   Existing lines that are not subject to a renewal or upgrading project

Where an infrastructure manager wishes to demonstrate the level of compliance of an existing line with the basic parameters of this TSI, it shall apply the procedure described in in Commission Recommendation 2014/881/EU (*3).
7.3.4   Route compatibility checks before the use of authorised vehicles

The ‘route compatibility check’ procedure to be applied and the parameters of the energy subsystem to be used are laid down in point 4.2.2.5 and Appendix D.1 of the TSI OPE.

7.1.2.   Changes to rolling stock in operation or to an existing rolling stock type

7.1.2.1.   Introduction









(1)


This point 7.1.2 defines the principles to be applied by the entities managing the change and authorising entities in line with the EC verification procedure described in Article 15(9), Article 21(12) of Directive (EU) 2016/797 and Annex IV thereto. This procedure is further developed in Article 13, 15 and 16 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 and in Decision 2010/713/EU.












(2)


This point 7.1.2 applies in case of any change(s) to rolling stock in operation or to an existing rolling stock type, including renewal or upgrade. It does not apply in case of changes:






—


that do not introduce a deviation from the technical files accompanying the EC declarations for verification for the subsystems, if any, and










—


that do not have an impact on basic parameters not covered by the EC declaration, if any.




The holder of the vehicle type authorisation shall provide, under reasonable conditions, the information necessary for assessing the changes to the entity managing the change.




7.1.2.2.   Rules to manage changes in both rolling stock and rolling stock type









(1)


Parts and basic parameters of the rolling stock that are not affected by the change(s) are exempt from conformity assessment against the provisions in this TSI.












(2)


Without prejudice to points 7.1.2.2a and 7.1.3, compliance with the requirements of this TSI, the TSI NOI (see point 7.2 of that TSI) and the TSI PRM (see point 7.2.3 of that TSI) shall only be needed for the basic parameters in this TSI which may be affected by the change(s).












(3)


In accordance with Articles 15 and 16 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 and Decision 2010/713/EU and by application of modules SB, SD/SF or SH1 for the EC verification, and if relevant in accordance with Article 15(5) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, the entity managing the change shall inform a notified body of all changes affecting the conformity of the subsystem with requirements of the relevant TSI(s) requiring new checks by a notified body. This information shall be provided by the entity managing the change with corresponding references to the technical documentation relating to the existing EC type or design examination certificate.












(4)


Without prejudice of the general safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12), point (b), of Directive (EU) 2016/797, in case of changes requiring reassessment of the safety requirements set out in points 4.2.3.4.2, 4.2.3.5.3, 4.2.4.2.2, 4.2.5.3.5, 4.2.5.5.8 and 4.2.5.5.9, the procedure set out in point 6.2.3.5 shall be applied.

Without prejudice of the general safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12), point (b), of Directive (EU) 2016/797, in case of changes impacting requirements set out in 4.2.4.9, 4.2.9.3.1 and 4.2.10.3.4 which require a new reliability study, a new authorisation for placing in the market shall be required unless the NoBo concludes that the safety-related requirements covered by the reliability study are improved or maintained. The NoBo will consider in its judgement the revised maintenance and operation documentation, where required.












(5)


National migration strategies related to the implementation of other TSIs (e.g. TSIs covering fixed installations) shall be taken into account when defining to what extent the TSIs covering rolling stock needs to be applied.












(6)


The basic design characteristics of the rolling stock are defined in Table 17a and Table 17b below. Based on these tables and on the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12), point (b), of Directive (EU) 2016/797, the changes shall be categorised as follows:






(a)


as defined by Article 15(1), point (c), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 if they are above the thresholds set out in column 3 and below thresholds set out in column 4 unless the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12), point (b), of Directive (EU) 2016/797 requires to categorise them as defined by Article 15(1), point (d), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545, or










(b)


as defined by Article 15(1), point (d), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545 if they are above the thresholds set out in column 4 or if the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12), point (b), of Directive (EU) 2016/797 requires to categorise them as as defined by Article 15(1), point (d), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545.




The determination whether the changes are beyond or above the thresholds mentioned in the first paragraph shall be done in reference to the values of the parameters at the time of the last authorisation of the rolling stock or rolling stock type.












(7)


Changes not covered by point 7.1.2.2(6) are deemed not to have any impact on the basic design characteristics and may be categorised as defined by Article 15(1), point (a) or Article 15(1), point (b), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545, unless the safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12), point (b), of Directive (EU) 2016/797 requires to categorise them as defined by Article 15(1), point (d), of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/545.












(8)


The safety judgement mandated in Article 21(12), point (b), of Directive (EU) 2016/797 shall cover changes concerning basic parameters of the table of point 3.1, related to all the essential requirements, in particular the requirements ‘Safety’ and ‘Technical compatibility’.












(9)


Without prejudice to point 7.1.2.2a, all changes shall remain compliant with the applicable TSIs regardless their classification.












(10)


The replacement of one or more vehicle(s) within a fixed formation after a severe damage does not require a conformity assessment against this TSI, as long as the unit or the vehicle(s) are unchanged in technical parameters and function to the ones they replace. Such units must be traceable and certified in accordance with any national or international rule, or any code of practice widely acknowledged in the railway domain.

Initial assessment framework
The initial assessment framework is the set of TSIs (i.e. this TSI, TSI NOI and TSI PRM) applicable at the beginning of the design phase when the notified body is contracted by the applicant.












(2)


Certification framework
The certification framework is the set of TSIs (i.e. this TSI, the TSI NOI and the TSI PRM) applicable at the time of issuing the EC type or design examination certificate. It is the initial assessment framework amended with the revisions of TSIs that came into force during the design phase.












(3)


Design phase
The design phase is the period starting once a notified body, which is responsible for EC verification, is contracted by the applicant and ending when the EC type or design examination certificate is issued.
A design phase can cover a type and one or several type variant(s) and type version(s). For all type variant(s) and type version(s), the design phase is considered as starting at the same time as for the main type.












(4)


Production phase
The production phase is the period during which rolling stock subsystems may be placed on the market on the basis of an EC declaration of verification referring to a valid EC type or design examination certificate.












(5)


Rolling stock in operation:
Rolling stock is in operation when it is registered with “Valid” registration code “00”, in the National Vehicle Register in accordance with Decision 2007/756/EC or in the European Vehicle Register in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1614 and maintained in a safe state of running in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/779 (*18).

‘7.5.   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 been 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.










(2)


Those not considered in the current state of the art as basic parameter, but which are subject to research projects.










(3)


Those relevant in the framework of ongoing 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 point 4.2 of the TSI.
7.5.1.   Aspects related to a basic parameter in this TSI

7.5.1.1.   Axle load parameter (point 4.2.3.2.1)

This basic parameter covers the interface between infrastructure and rolling stock regarding the vertical load.
Further development is required for route compatibility check regarding static and dynamic compatibility.
Regarding dynamic compatibility, no harmonised classification method of the Rolling Stock is yet available including requirements related to High Speed Load Model (HSLM) compatibility:






—


TSI LOC&PAS requirements should further be developed based on finding from CEN enhancing EN1991-2 Annex E with corresponding rolling stock requirements for dynamic compatibility, including compatibility with HSLM compliant structures,










—


New basic design characteristics "Compliance of vehicle design with the High Speed Load Model (HSLM)" should be created,










—


A harmonised process should be referenced accordingly for route compatibility check purposes in TSI OPE Appendix D.1 based on RINF and ERATV,










—


Documents required in RINF parameter 1.1.1.1.2.4.4 should be harmonised as far as possible to facilitate automatic route compatibility check.




7.5.1.2.   Not used

7.5.1.3.   Aerodynamic effects on ballasted tracks (point 4.2.6.2.5)

Requirements on aerodynamic effects on ballasted tracks have been set up for units of maximum design speed higher than 250 km/h.
As the current state of the art does not allow to provide for a harmonized requirement nor assessment methodology, the TSI allows the application of national rules.
This will need to be reviewed in order to consider the following:






—


Study of ballast-pick-up occurrences, and corresponding safety impact (if any).










—


Development of a harmonized, cost-effective methodology applicable in EU.




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

7.5.2.1.   Not used

7.5.2.2.   Further activities related to the conditions for having vehicle type authorisation and/or an authorization for placing on the market not limited to a particular area of use

To facilitate free circulation of locomotives and passenger coaches, conditions for having an authorization for placing on the market not limited to a particular area of use are lay down in clause 7.1.1.5.
These provisions should be complemented with harmonised limit values for interference currents and magnetic fields at unit level, either as a percentage of the value defined for an Influencing unit, or as absolute limit values. These harmonised limits will be determined based on the specific cases or technical documents referred to in Article 13 of CCS TSI and on the future standard EN 50728 expected to be published in 2024.
The specification of interfaces between coaches intended to be used in general operations should be further detailed in point 7.1.1.5.2 with the objective to facilitate the interchangeability of those coaches (new and existing coaches).
7.5.2.3.   Equipment of a rolling stock with places for bicycles - Impact of the Passenger Rights Regulation

Article 6(4) of Regulation (EU) 2021/782 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*19) specifies the requirements for equipping rolling stock with places for bicycles.
Places for bicycles need to be realised in case of:






—


a major change of the layout and furnishing of the passenger area, and










—


when the above-mentioned upgrade of existing rolling stock leads to the need for a new vehicle authorisation for placing it on the market.




According to the principle specified in point 7.1.2.2.(1), major upgrades affecting other parts and basic parameters than the layout and furnishing of the passenger area may not entail the equipment of the rolling stock with places for bicycles.

(*19)  Regulation (EU) 2021/782 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2021 on rail passengers’ rights and obligations (recast). (OJ L 172, 17.5.2021, p. 1).’;"

The requirements of the point 4.2.2.4 are complemented as follow:
The machine frame shall be able to withstand either the static loads of the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [1] or the static loads according to the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [51] without exceeding the permissible values given there in.
The corresponding structural category of the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [51] is as follows:






—


for machines not permitted to be loose shunted or hump shunted: F-II;










—


for all other machines: F-I.




The acceleration in x-direction according to the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [1], Table 13 or to the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [51], Table 10 shall be ± 3 g.
C.2   Lifting and jacking

The machine body shall incorporate lifting points by which the whole machine is capable of being safely lifted or jacked. The location of the lifting and jacking points shall be defined.
To facilitate the work during repair or inspection or when on-tracking the machines, the machines shall be provided on both long sides with at least two lifting points, at which the machines can be lifted in empty or loaded condition.
To allow positioning of jacking devices, clearances shall be provided under the lifting points which shall not be blocked by the presence of non-removable parts. The load cases shall be consistent with the ones chosen in Appendix C.1 and shall apply for lifting and jacking under workshop and servicing operations.
C.3   Running dynamic behaviour

The running characteristics are permitted to be determined by running tests or by reference to a similar type approved machine as detailed in point 4.2.3.4.2 of this TSI or by simulation. Running behaviour can be proven by simulation of the tests described in the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [9] (with the exceptions as specified below) when there is a validated model of representative track and operating conditions of the machine.
The following additional deviations apply:






(i)


The simplified method for this type of machines shall be always accepted;










(ii)


if the required test speed cannot be obtained by the machine itself, the machine shall be hauled for the tests.




A model of a machine for simulation of running characteristics shall be validated by comparing the model results against the results of running tests when the same input of track characteristic is used.
A validated model is a simulation model that has been verified by an actual running test that excites the suspension sufficiently and where there is a close correlation between the results of the running test and the predictions from the simulation model over the same test track.
C.4   Acceleration at the maximum speed

No residual acceleration, as specified in point 4.2.8.1.2 (5), is required for Special vehicles.

Note:



For the testing, it might be necessary to adapt the control system of the MTB.


















—


The test shall be performed under dry conditions.










—


The test shall be performed in new and worn conditions of the pole shoes and end pieces.










—


The test in worn conditions shall be performed at the maximum allowed hollow wear of the friction surface or the pole shoe respectively, defined by the specification (see Figure 1).





Figure K.1


Maximum hollow wear

maximum allowed hollow wear expressed in mm





Test possibility 1

This test applies for changes of end pieces listed in the specification referenced in Appendix J-1, index [16]. Only deviations of maximum 10% for no more than 5 dimensions are allowed.
During the test optical check shall be performed by video of all end pieces. The lateral surfaces of all end pieces and pole shoes of the MTB shall be pale painted.
Acceptance criteria:






—


No mechanical damage of any part of the MTB;










—


No evidence of a permanent derailment of the MTB;
NOTE: Sparks are allowed during braking.










—


No evidence of a contact at the lateral side of the MTB outside of 55 mm in the vertical direction from the top of rail.





Test possibility 2

This test applies for new designed end pieces. In addition to test possibility 1, the lateral and longitudinal forces (see Figure 2) between MTB and the bogie shall be measured.

Acceptance criteria for test possibility 1:






—


Lateral force FQ and longitudinal force FB,x when running over switches and crossings in inside direction:
Action of a lateral force equal to 0,18 times the magnetic attractive force in inside direction (toward the track centre) in the vicinity of the end pieces with a simultaneous longitudinal force of 0,2 times the magnetic attractive force shall be respected.










—


Lateral force FQ and longitudinal force FB,x when running over switches and crossings in outside direction:
Action of a lateral force equal to 0,12 times the magnetic attractive force in outside direction in the vicinity of the end pieces with a simultaneous longitudinal force of 0,2 times the magnetic attractive force shall be respected.










—


Exceptional lateral force FQ in inside direction (toward the track centre) when running over switches and crossings:
Measurements so far performed on vehicles have identified forces in inside direction up to about 0,35 times the magnetic attractive force (greatly dependent on the wear condition of the switch and crossing that has been traversed).










—


Exceptional lateral force FQ in outside direction when running over switches and crossings:
Measurements so far performed on vehicles have identified forces in outside direction up to about 0,23 times the magnetic attractive force (greatly dependent on the wear condition of the switch and crossing that has been traversed).





Test possibility 3

This test applies for new designed end pieces. Subsequent to test possibility 2, the test possibility 3 shall be performed if the measurement of the displacement of the switches is required. It is allowed to perform the possibilities 2 and 3 in one test run.
Measurement of displacement of switch:
The switch is equipped with sensors for measuring the displacement of moving parts identified in red in Figure 3 below (zone toe).
Test sequence:
The test sequence consists of performing 3 runs per position A, B, C and D at constant speed. The speed of test shall correspond to the speed inducing the maximum coefficient of friction (typically around a speed of 15 km/h).

1.   INTRODUCTION

Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) lay down the optimal level of harmonised specifications for each subsystem (or part of it), to ensure the safety and interoperability of the rail system, to facilitate, improve and develop rail transport services within the Union and with third countries, and to contribute to the completion of the single European railway area and the progressive achievement of the internal market. The specifications of the TSIs must meet the essential requirements as set out in Annex III to Directive (EU) 2016/797.
In accordance with the proportionality principle, this TSI sets out the optimal level of harmonisation related to specifications on the rolling stock subsystem as defined in point 1.1 intended to limit the noise emission of the rail system within the Union.
1.1.   Technical scope

1.1.1.   Scope related to rolling stock

This TSI applies to all rolling stock within the scope of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 1302/2014 (“TSI LOC&PAS”) and the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 321/2013 (“TSI WAG”).
1.1.2.   Scope related to operational aspects

Alongside with the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/773 (1) (“TSI OPE”), this TSI applies to the operation of freight wagons, which are used on railway infrastructure designated as “quieter routes”.
1.2.   Geographical scope

The geographical scope of this TSI corresponds to the scopes defined in point 1.2 of LOC&PAS TSI and in point 1.2 of WAG TSI, each for their rolling stock (RST) concerned.
2.   DEFINITION OF THE SUBSYSTEM

A “unit” means the rolling stock, which is subject to the application of this TSI, and therefore subject to the “EC” verification procedure. Chapter 2 of LOC&PAS TSI and Chapter 2 of WAG TSI describe what a unit can consist of.
The requirements of this TSI apply to the following categories of rolling stock set out in Section 2 of Annex I to Directive (EU) 2016/797:






(a)


locomotives and passenger rolling stock including thermal or electric traction units, self-propelling thermal or electric passenger trains, and passenger coaches. This category is further defined in Chapter 2 of LOC&PAS TSI and shall be referred to in this TSI as locomotives, electric multiple units (EMU), diesel multiple units (DMU) and coaches;










(b)


freight wagons, including low-deck vehicles designed for the entire network and vehicles designed to carry lorries. This category is further defined in Chapter 2 of WAG TSI and shall be referred to in this TSI as wagons;










(c)


special vehicles, such as on-track machines. This category is further defined in Chapter 2 of LOC&PAS TSI.




3.   ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

All basic parameters set out in this TSI shall be linked to at least one of the essential requirements as set out in Annex III to Directive (EU) 2016/797. Table 1 indicates the allocation.

4.   CHARACTERISATION OF THE SUBSYSTEM

4.1.   Introduction

This Chapter sets out the optimal level of harmonisation related to specifications on the rolling stock subsystem intended to limit the noise emission of the Union rail system and to achieve interoperability.
4.2.   Functional and technical specifications of the subsystems

The following parameters have been identified as critical for the interoperability (basic parameters):






(a)


“stationary noise”;










(b)


“starting noise”;










(c)


“pass-by noise”;










(d)


“driver's cab interior noise”.




The corresponding functional and technical specifications allocated to the different categories of rolling stock are set out in this point. In case of units equipped with both thermal and electric power, the relevant limit values under all normal operation modes shall be respected. If one of those operation modes plans the use of both thermal and electric power at the same time, the less restrictive limit value applies. In accordance with Article 4(5) and Article 2(13) of Directive (EU) 2016/797, provision may be made for specific cases. Such provisions are indicated in point 7.3.
The assessment procedures for the requirements in this point are defined in the indicated points of Chapter 6.
4.2.1.   Limits for stationary noise

The limit values for the following sound pressure levels under normal vehicle conditions concerning the stationary noise allocated to the categories of the rolling stock subsystem are set out in Table 2:






(a)


the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level of the unit (LpAeq,T[unit]);










(b)


the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level at the nearest measuring position i considering the main air compressor (Li
pAeq,T);










(c)


the AF-weighted sound pressure level at the nearest measuring position i considering impulsive noise of the exhaust valve of the air dryer (Li
pAFmax).




The limit values are set at a distance of 7,5 m from the centre of the track and 1,2 m above top of rail.

The friction element for wheel tread brakes (i.e. brake block) has an influence on the pass-by noise by creating roughness on the wheel tread when braking.
The demonstration of conformity of brake blocks for freight wagons is described in point 6.1.2.1 of this TSI. Conformity of its brake blocks to that point does not exempt the unit under assessment from the requirements set out in point 4.2.3 and the demonstration of conformity set out in point 6.2.2.3.
4.2.4.   Limits for the driver's cab interior noise

The limit values for the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level (LpAeq,T) concerning the noise within the driver's cab of electric and diesel locomotives, EMUs, DMUs and coaches fitted with a cab are set out in Table 5. The limit values are set in the vicinity of the driver's ear.
These limit values are not mandatory for special vehicles. However, the demonstration of conformity referred to in point 6.2.2.4 shall be performed and the resulting values shall be recorded in the technical file.

Table 6


Modules for EC verification of subsystems







SB


EC-Type Examination




SD


EC verification based on quality management system of the production process




SF


EC verification based on product verification




SH1


EC verification based on full quality management system plus design examination




Those modules are specified in detail in Decision 2010/713/EU.
6.2.2.   EC verification procedures

The applicant shall choose one of the following assessment procedures consisting of one or more modules for the EC verification of the subsystem:






—


(SB+SD),










—


(SB+SF),










—


(SH1).




Within the application of the chosen module or module combination the subsystem shall be assessed against the requirements set out in point 4.2. If necessary, additional requirements concerning the assessment are given in the following points.
6.2.2.1.   Stationary noise

The demonstration of conformity with the limit values on stationary noise as set out in point 4.2.1 shall be carried out in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1].
For the assessment of the main air compressor noise at the nearest measuring position i, the Li
pAeq,T indicator shall be used with T representative of one operating cycle as defined in the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1]. Only the train systems that are required for the air compressor to run under normal operating conditions shall be used for that purpose. The train systems which are not needed for the operation of the compressor may be switched off to prevent contribution to the noise measurement. The demonstration of conformity with the limit values shall be carried out under the conditions solely necessary for operation of the main air compressor at the lowest rpm.
For the assessment of the impulsive noise sources at the nearest measuring position i, the Li
pAFmax indicator shall be used. The relevant noise source is the exhaust from the valves of the air dryer.
6.2.2.2.   Starting noise

The demonstration of conformity with the limit values on starting noise as set out in point 4.2.2 shall be carried out in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1]. The maximum level method shall apply. Deviating from the test procedure of the specification, the train shall accelerate from standstill up to 30 km/h and then maintain the speed.
In addition the noise shall be measured at the same distance from the centre of the track and the same height above top of rail as set out in point 4.2.2. The “averaged level method” and the “maximum level method” in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1] shall apply and the train shall accelerate from standstill up to 40 km/h and then maintain the speed. The measured values are not assessed against any limit value and shall be recorded in the technical file and communicated to the Agency.
For special vehicles the starting procedure shall be performed without additional trailer loads.
6.2.2.3.   Pass-by noise

The demonstration of conformity with the limit values on pass-by noise as set out in point 4.2.3 shall be carried out in accordance with points 6.2.2.3.1 and 6.2.2.3.2.
6.2.2.3.1.   Test track conditions

The tests shall be performed on a reference track as defined in the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1].
However, it is permitted to carry out the test on a track that does not comply with the reference track conditions in terms of acoustic rail roughness level and track decay rates as long as the noise levels measured in accordance with point 6.2.2.3.2 do not exceed the limit values set out in point 4.2.3.
The acoustic rail roughness and the decay rates of the test track shall be determined in any case. If the track on which the tests are performed does meet the reference track conditions, the measured noise levels shall be marked “comparable”, otherwise they shall be marked “non-comparable”. It shall be recorded in the technical file whether the measured noise levels are “comparable” or “non-comparable”.
The measured acoustic rail roughness values of the test track remain valid during a period starting 3 months before and ending 3 months after that measurement, provided that during that period no track maintenance has been performed which influences the rail acoustic roughness.
The measured track decay rate values of the test track shall remain valid during a period starting 1 year before and ending 1 year after that measurement, provided that during that period no track maintenance has been performed which influences the track decay rates.
Confirmation shall be provided in the technical file that the track data related to the type's pass-by noise measurement were valid during the day(s) of testing, e.g. by providing the date of last maintenance having an impact on noise.
Furthermore, it is permitted to carry out tests at speeds equal to or higher than 250 km/h on slab tracks. In that case the limit values shall be 2 dB higher than those set out in point 4.2.3.
6.2.2.3.2.   Procedure

The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [1]. Any comparison against limit values shall be carried out with results rounded to the nearest integer decibel. Any normalisation shall be performed before rounding. The detailed assessment procedure is set out in points 6.2.2.3.2.1, 6.2.2.3.2.2 and 6.2.2.3.2.3.
6.2.2.3.2.1.   EMU, DMUs, locomotives and coaches

For EMU, DMUs, locomotives and coaches three classes of maximum operational speed are distinguished:






(1)


If the maximum operational speed of the unit is lower than or equal to 80 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at its maximum speed vmax. That value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.










(2)


If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is higher than 80 km/h and lower than 250 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at 80 km/h and at its maximum speed. Both measured pass-by noise values LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to the reference speed of 80 km/h LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) using Formula (1). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

Formula (1):






LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 30 * log (vtest/80 km/h)







vtest



=


Actual speed during the measurement


















(3)


If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is equal to or higher than 250 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at 80 km/h and at its maximum speed with an upper test speed limit of 320 km/h. The measured pass-by noise value LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) at 80 km/h shall be normalised to the reference speed of 80 km/h LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) using Formula (1). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3. The measured pass-by noise value at maximum speed LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to the reference speed of 250 km/h LpAeq,Tp(250 km/h) using Formula (2). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(250 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

Formula (2):






LpAeq,Tp(250 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 50 * log(vtest/250 km/h)







vtest



=


Actual speed during the measurement












6.2.2.3.2.2.   Wagons

For wagons two classes of maximum operational speed are distinguished:






(1)


If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is lower than or equal to 80 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at its maximum speed. The measured pass-by noise value LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to a reference APL of 0,225 m-1 LpAeq,Tp (APLref) using Formula (3). That value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

Formula (3):






LpAeq,Tp (APLref) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 10 * log(APLwag/0,225 m-1)







APLwag



=


Number of axles divided by the length over the buffers [m-1]




vtest



=


Actual speed during the measurement


















(2)


If the maximum operational speed vmax of the unit is higher than 80 km/h, the pass-by noise shall be measured at 80 km/h and at its maximum speed. Both measured pass-by noise values LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) shall be normalised to the reference speed of 80 km/h and to a reference APL of 0,225 m-1 LpAeq,Tp(APL ref, 80 km/h) using Formula (4). The normalised value shall not exceed the limit value LpAeq,Tp(80 km/h) as set out in point 4.2.3.

Formula (4):






LpAeq,Tp (APLref, 80 km/h) = LpAeq,Tp(Vtest) – 10 * log(APLwag/0,225 m-1) — 30 * log(vtest/80 km/h)







APLwag



=


Number of axles divided by the length over the buffers [m-1]




vtest



=


Actual speed during the measurement












6.2.2.3.2.3.   Special vehicles

For special vehicles the same assessment procedure as set out in 6.2.2.3.2.1 applies. The measuring procedure shall be performed without additional trailer loads.
Special vehicles are deemed to comply with the pass-by noise level requirements in point 4.2.3 without measuring when they are:






—


solely braked by either composite brake blocks or disc brakes, and










—


equipped with composite scrubbers, if scrubber blocks are fitted.




6.2.2.4.   Driver's cab interior noise

The demonstration of conformity with the limit values on the driver's cab interior noise as set out in point 4.2.4 shall be carried out in accordance with the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [2]. For special vehicles the measuring procedure shall be performed without additional trailer loads.
6.2.3.   Simplified evaluation

Instead of the test procedures as set out in point 6.2.2, it is permitted to substitute some or all of the tests by a simplified evaluation. The simplified evaluation consists of acoustically comparing the unit under assessment to an existing type (further referred to as the reference type) with documented noise characteristics.
The simplified evaluation may be used for each of the applicable basic parameters “stationary noise”, “starting noise”, “pass-by noise” and “driver's cab interior noise” autonomously and shall consist of providing evidence that the effects of the differences of the unit under assessment do not result in exceeding the limit values set out in point 4.2.
For the units under simplified evaluation, the proof of conformity shall include a detailed description of the noise relevant changes compared to the reference type. On the basis of that description, a simplified evaluation shall be performed. The estimated noise values shall include the uncertainties of the applied evaluation method. The simplified evaluation can either be a calculation and/or simplified measurement.
A unit certified on the basis of the simplified evaluation method shall not be used as a reference unit for a further evaluation.
If the simplified evaluation is applied for pass-by noise, the reference-type shall comply with at least one of the following:






—


Chapter 4 of this Annex and for which the pass-by noise results are marked “comparable”,










—


Chapter 4 of the Annex to Decision 2011/229/EU and for which the pass-by noise results are marked “comparable”,










—


Chapter 4 of the Annex to Decision 2006/66/EC,










—


Chapter 4 of the Annex to Decision 2008/232/EC.




In case of a wagon whose parameters remain, compared to the reference type, within the permitted range of Table 7 it is deemed without further verification that the unit complies with the limit values on pass-by noise as set out in point 4.2.3.

This TSI is applicable to all units of rolling stock in its scope which are placed on the market after 28 September 2023, except where point 7.1.1.2 “Application to ongoing projects” or point 7.1.1.3 “Application to special vehicles” of TSI LOC&PAS or point 7.1.1 “Application to ongoing projects” of TSI WAG applies.












(2)


Compliance with this Annex in its version applicable before 28 September 2023 is deemed equivalent to compliance with this TSI, except for the TSI changes listed in Appendix H.












(3)


For the rolling stock subsystem and the associated interoperability constituents, the rules related to the EC type or design examination certificates shall be as specified in point 7.1.3 of TSI LOC&PAS. and point 7.2.3 of TSI WAG.




7.2.   Application of this TSI to existing subsystems

The principles to be applied by the applicants and authorising entities in case of change(s) to a rolling stock in operation or to an existing rolling stock type are defined in point 7.1.2 of LOC&PAS TSI and point 7.2.2 of WAG TSI.
7.2.1.   Provisions in case of changes to rolling stock in operation or to an existing rolling stock type

The applicant shall ensure that the noise levels of rolling stock subject to change(s) remain below the limits set out in the version of the TSI which was applicable when the rolling stock in question was first authorised. If no TSI existed at the time of the first authorisation, the applicant shall ensure that the noise levels of the rolling stock subject to change(s) are either not increased or remain below the limits set out in Decision 2006/66/EC or Commission Decision 2002/735/EC (3).
If an assessment is required, it shall be limited to the basic parameters affected by the change(s).
If the simplified evaluation is applied, the original unit may represent the reference unit in accordance with the provisions of point 6.2.3.
The replacement of a whole unit or (a) vehicle(s) within a unit (e.g. a replacement after a severe damage) does not require a conformity assessment against this TSI, as long as the unit or the vehicle(s) are identical to the ones they replace.
7.2.2.   Additional provisions for the application of this TSI to existing wagons

The restriction of the operation set out in Article 5a shall not apply to wagons mostly operated on lines with a gradient of more than 40 ‰, wagons with a maximum operating speed higher than 120 km/h, wagons with a maximum axle load higher than 22,5 t, wagons exclusively operated for infrastructure works and wagons used in rescue trains.
If a wagon is being equipped with either friction elements for wheel tread brakes covered by an EC Declaration of Conformity in accordance with this TSI or with friction elements for wheel tread brakes listed in Appendix G and no noise sources are added to the wagon, then it shall be assumed that the requirements of point 4.2.3 are met without further testing.
7.2.2.1.   Not used

7.2.2.2.   Wagons operated on quieter routes

Wagons belonging to one of the following categories may be operated on the quieter routes within their area of use:

7.2.2.3.   Interoperability constituents







—


This point concerns interoperability constituents, which are subject to type examination or design examination.










—


The type or design examination or suitability for use remains valid even if a revision of this TSI comes into force, unless explicitly otherwise specified in the revision of this TSI.










—


During this time, new constituents of the same type are permitted to be placed on the market without a new type assessment.

Quieter routes
D.1   Identification of quieter routes

In accordance with Article 5c(1), the Member States shall provide the Agency with a list of quieter routes and ensure that the infrastructure managers identify them in the RINF (application) as set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/777 (5) (RINF). The list shall contain at least the following information:






—


start and end points of the quieter routes and their corresponding sections, using geographical code location in the register set out in RINF. If one of those points is at the border of the Member State, it shall be reflected;










—


identification of the sections making up the quieter route




The list shall be provided using the template below:

In addition, the Member States may provide maps illustrating the quieter routes on a voluntary basis. All lists and maps shall be published on the Agency website (http://www.era.europa.eu) no later than 9 months after 27.5.2019.
By the same date the Agency shall inform the Commission of the lists and maps of quieter routes. The Commission shall inform the Member States accordingly through the committee referred to in Article 51 of Directive (EU) 2016/797.
D.2   Update of quieter routes

The freight traffic data used for the update of quieter routes in accordance with Article 5c(2) shall refer to the last three years preceding the update for which the data is available. Where, due to exceptional circumstances, the freight traffic diverges in a given year from that average number by more than 25 %, the Member State concerned may calculate the average number on the basis of the remaining two years.

Appendix F
Assessment of acoustic performance of a brake block
The purpose of this procedure is to demonstrate the acoustic performance of a composite brake block at interoperability constituent level.
The procedure consists of the following steps:
1.   Measure the acoustic roughness of a wheel representative of the brake block under assessment.


Wheel acoustic roughness development on bench test

New brake blocks shall be used. Only new or reprofiled wheels shall be used. The wheels shall be free of any damage (cracks, flats, etc.).
One of the following brake performance test programs shall be applied to at least one wheel of 920 mm nominal diameter:






—


A2_a for LL-Blocks and A1_a for K-blocks of the specification referenced in Appendix B, index [4];










—


D.1 for LL-Blocks and C.1 for K-blocks of the specification referenced in Appendix B, index [5];










—


J.2 of the specification referenced in Appendix B, index [5] for other blocks.




The selected program shall be completed and the results of the measurement series after completion shall be used to determine the wheel roughness index.
It is optional to continue with a second run of the selected program. If that option is chosen, the results of the measurement series after completion of the second run shall be used to determine the wheel roughness index. The results from both runs shall be documented.
The second run shall be performed with the same wheel, but the brake block may be renewed and replaced with another block of the same type. In that option, the bedding-in of the new brake block shall be completely executed at the beginning of the second run.

Wheel acoustic roughness measurement procedure

The measurement will be performed as set out in the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [6]. In order to ensure the representativeness of the acoustic roughness of the wheel tread, 8 measurement lines spaced 5 mm are deemed sufficient instead of the positions set out in the specification referenced in Appendix B, Index [6].
The measurement shall be performed during the wheel acoustic roughness development on bench test specified in the previous section in accordance with one of the tables below:
