Requirements applicable to units with regards to their interface with ETCS on-board and related to train interface function ‘Special brake inhibition area – Trackside orders: Eddy current track brake’ when ETCS is installed are defined in the specification referenced in Appendix J-2, index [B].
The subsequent commands of inhibition of eddy current track brake by the unit can be automatic or manual through intervention of the driver.
The rolling stock configuration on automatic or manual command shall be recorded in the technical documentation described in point 4.2.12.2.

The rolling stock configuration on automatic or manual command shall be recorded in the technical documentation described in point 4.2.12.2.’;
point 4.2.4.9 is amended as follows: (a) point (1) is replaced by the following: ‘(1) Information available to train staff shall allow the identification of the status of the brake system.
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.’; (b) point (6) is replaced by the following: ‘(6) The function providing the information described above to the train staff is a function essential to safety, 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, it shall be subject to a reliability study, considering the failure mode of components, redundancies, periodic checks and other provisions; based on this study, operating conditions of the centralised control system shall be defined and provided in the operating documentation described in point 4.2.12.4 .’;
(56)
in point 4.2.4.10, points (4) and (5) are replaced by the following: ‘(4) 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 point 4.2.4.5.2.
The calculated braking performance and rescue operating conditions shall be part of the technical documentation described in point 4.2.12.
(5) The requirement in 4.2.4.10 (4) does not apply to units which are operated in a train formation of less than 200 tons (load condition ‘design mass in working order’).’;
(57)
point 4.2.5.1 is replaced by the following: ‘4.2.5.1.
Sanitary systems (1)
The materials used for the on-board storage and distribution of water to sanitary systems (e.g. tank, pump, piping, water tap and sealing material and quality) shall comply with the requirements applicable to water intended for human consumption in accordance with Directive (EU) 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*).
(2)
Sanitary systems (toilets, washrooms, bar/restaurant facilities) shall prevent the release of sewage that may be detrimental to the health of people or to the environment.
Released materials (i.e. treated water) shall be conformant to the following Directives (water with soap directly released from sink excluded):
