ÖNORM EN 16185-2

This European Standard specifies test methods and acceptance criteria for a brake system for use in self propelling thermal and electric trains, in the following document called EMU/DMU, operating on routes of the European conventional rail system network. This European Standard is applicable to: — all new vehicles designs of self-propelling thermal and electric trains; — all major overhauls of the EMU/DMU if they involve redesigning or extensive alteration to the brake system of the vehicle concerned. This European Standard does not cover: — locomotive hauled trains which are specified by EN 14198; — mass transit rolling stock which is specified by EN 13452 (all parts); — high speed trains being operated at speeds greater than 200 km/h which are specified by EN 15734-1 and tests in EN 15734-2. The functional testing requirements set out in this European Standard assume the vehicles are fitted with brake system architecture as defined in EN 16185-1. The braking performance obtained by applying the tests defined in this European Standard can be used to assess compliance with the required braking performance as defined in EN 16185-1.
