Overview

This document has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 "Railway applications", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This document shall replace EN 14198:2004. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 2008/57/EC. For the relationship with EU Directives 2008/57/EC see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document contains the following significant technical changes compared to EN 14198:2004: - restructuring of the entire document (adaptation to TSI); - new Clause 6 "Performances"; - new Annex A "Vehicle requirements"; - new Annex B "Train related brake performance categories"; - adapted clauses: 1 "Scope", 2 "Normative References", 3 "Terms and definitions", 4 "Symbols and abbreviations", 5 "Requirements", Annex C, Annex D; - removed clauses: 6 "Test conditions". This European Standard specifies essential requirements for the brake system of trains hauled by locomotives. If concerned, the UIC brake architecture described in this standard (see 5.4) can be used for brakes for multiple unit train and high speed trains and urban rail described in the EN 13452 series, the EN 16185 series and the EN 15734 series. This European Standard also takes into account electrical and electronic control functions and additional brake systems like dynamic brakes and adhesion independent brakes. This European Standard does not apply to Urban Rail rolling stock braking system, which is specified by EN 13452-1.
