Overview
This European Standard describes the requirements for functionality, constraints, performance and operation of brake systems for use in high speed trains as described in the TSI High Speed Rolling Stock, operating on routes of the European railways and their infrastructure systems. The brake system requirements specified in this standard apply to trains that can operate at a maximum speed of up to 350 km/h on lines specifically built for high speed and define graduated values for deceleration related to four speed ranges (see clause 6). This standard applies to: - all new vehicle designs of high speed trains; - all major overhauls of the above-mentioned vehicles if they involve redesigning or extensive alteration to the brake system of the vehicle concerned. This standard does not cover locomotive hauled trains, which are specified by EN 14198.
