1.1 This document specifies the process and technical requirements for the development of software
for programmable electronic systems for use in:
— control, command for signalling applications,
— applications on-board of rolling stock.
This document is not intended to be applied in the area of electric traction power supply (fixed
installations) or for power supply and control of conventional applications, e.g. station power supply
for offices, shops. These applications are typically covered by standards for energy distribution and/or
non-railway sectors and/or local legal frameworks.
1.2 This document is applicable exclusively to software and the interaction between software and the
system of which it is part.
1.3 Intentionally left blank
1.4 This document applies to software as per subclause 1.1 of this document used in railway systems,
including:
— application programming,
— operating systems,
— support tools,
— firmware.
Application programming comprises high level programming, low level programming and special
purpose programming (for example: programmable logic controller ladder logic).
1.5 This document also addresses the use of pre-existing software (as defined in 3.1.16) and tools.
Such software can be used if the specific requirements in 7.3.4.7 and 6.5.4.16 on pre-existing
software and for tools in 6.7 are fulfilled.
1.6 Intentionally left blank
1.7 This document considers that modern application design often makes use of software that is
suitable as a basis for various applications. Such software is then configured by application data for
producing the executable software for the application.
1.8 Intentionally left blank
1.9 This document is not intended to be retrospective. It therefore applies primarily to new
developments and only applies in its entirety to existing systems if these are subjected to major
modifications. For minor changes, only 9.2 applies. However, application of this document during
upgrades and maintenance of existing software is advisable.
1.10 For the development of User Programmable Integrated Circuits (e.g. field programmable gate
arrays (FPGA) and complex programmable logic devices (CPLD)) guidance is provided in
EN 50129:2018 Annex F for safety related functions and in EN 50155:2017 for non-safety related
functions. Software running on softcore processors of User Programmable Integrated Circuits is within
the scope of this document.

The aim of this document is to define a design assessment procedure of a forged and rolled monobloc wheel (RST). This assessment is carried out before the wheel is commissioned. This document describes, in particular, the assessment to be performed in order to use wheels on a European network which, in addition, have quality requirements in conformity with those defined in EN 13262.
This assessment requires that the conditions of use for the wheel are defined and this standard provides a method for defining those conditions.
The assessment of the design covers four aspects:
- a geometrical aspect: to allow interchangeability of different solutions for the same application;
- a thermomechanical aspect: to manage wheel deformations and to ensure that braking will not cause wheels to fracture;
- a mechanical aspect: to ensure that no fatigue cracks occur in the wheel web and that no permanent deformation occurs under exceptional loading;
- an acoustic aspect: to ensure that the solution chosen is as good as the reference wheel.
This document does not cover assessment of the hub or of the rim.
This document has been drawn up for wheels of non-powered tread-braked wheelsets and applies in full to this type of wheel. For wheels on which disc brakes are mounted or toothed transmission wheels or even wheels with noise reduction devices, the requirements may be amended or supplemented.
For urban railway vehicles, other standards or documents may be used.

This document provides to the railway operators, system integrators and product suppliers, with guidance and specifications  on how cybersecurity will be managed in the context of the EN 50126-1 RAMS lifecycle process. This document aims at the implementation of a consistent approach to the management of the security of the railway systems. This document can also be applied to the security assurance of systems and components/equipment developed independently of EN 50126.
This document applies to Communications, Signalling and Processing domain, to Rolling Stock and to Fixed Installations domains. It provides references to models and concepts from which requirements and recommendations can be derived and that are suitable to ensure that the residual risk from security threats is identified, supervised and managed to an acceptable level by the railway system duty holder. It presents the underlying security assumptions in a structured manner.
This document does not address functional safety requirements for railway systems but rather additional requirements arising from threats and related security vulnerabilities and for which specific measures and activities need to be taken and managed throughout the lifecycle. The aim of this technical specification is to ensure that the RAMS characteristics of railway systems / subsystems / equipment cannot be reduced, lost or compromised in the case of intentional attacks.
The security models, the concepts and the risk assessment process described in this document are based on or derived from IEC 62443 series standards. In particular, this document is consistent with the application of security management requirements contained within the IEC 62443-2-1 and which are based on EN ISO 27001 and EN ISO 27002

This document defines the process to determine the conditions under which dispensation from on-track testing according to EN 14363 can be given to freight wagons. In its application this document specifies the means by which dispensation from on-track tests is possible.
This document is subordinate to EN 14363.
The dispensation conditions described in this document apply to all freight wagons and non-powered special vehicles with operating conditions of freight trains, which are operated on the heavy rail network with standard gauge (1 435 mm).
NOTE 1   The various rail-inclinations used in Europe (1:20, 1:40 and 1:30) are covered by the conditions for dispensation.
This document is not limited to any type of freight vehicle; however, freight wagons with defined parameters and equipped with certain running gear types, which have been previously accepted, are considered to have a continuing dispensation from on-track testing. The parameters of these freight wagons and running gear are detailed within this document.
NOTE 2   The test procedures described in this document (and in EN 14363) can be applied also to applications with other track gauges e.g. 1 524 mm or 1 668 mm. The limit values could be different. If established running gear are existing in such restricted networks the related ranges of running gear and vehicle parameters for dispensation from on-track tests might be specified together with the operational parameters (speed, can’t deficiency, maximum axle load) based on previous tests and operating experiences. These limit values and parameters will be specified on national level.
This document only contains requirements for characteristics related to requirements for on-track tests specified in EN 14363.

This European Standard provides an accepted "terminology" for switch and crossing work. With the assistance of diagrams, the various components are given definitions, and these specific names are regarded as obligatory.
The definitions cover the constituent parts and design geometry of switch and crossing work, and include the movement of switches. Additional terminology of a more specific nature will be defined in the relevant part of the series.
The present definitions set out the terms most generally used for the geometrical form and the construction of switches and crossings, omitting those of too special a nature.

This European Standard provides an accepted "terminology" for switch and crossing work. With the assistance of diagrams, the various components are given definitions, and these specific names are regarded as obligatory.
The definitions cover the constituent parts and design geometry of switch and crossing work, and include the movement of switches. Additional terminology of a more specific nature will be defined in the relevant part of the series.
The present definitions set out the terms most generally used for the geometrical form and the construction of switches and crossings, omitting those of too special a nature.

This document defines the main wheel/track interaction criteria to be taken into account during the geometrical design of railway switches and crossings (S&C) layouts.
It specifies:
—   characterization of wheel and track dimensions;
—   geometric design principles for wheel guidance;
—   design principles for wheel load transfer;
—   whether movable crossings are needed.
These are illustrated by their application to turnout components:
—   switches;
—   crossings;
—   check rails,
but the principles apply equally to more complex units. There are also simplified definitions of the safety and functional dimensions, which can be used in conjunction with the general principles as the basis for more in-depth assessment.
