  1. Overview about European and International Railway Standardisation / Innovativon and Standardisation Rüdiger Wendt Secretary of ISO/TC 269 and CEN/TC 256 Moscow, 2012-10-17

  2. Activity in European and international standards committees National Standards Body ISO/IEC CEN/CLC Technical Committee Delegate Mirror committees Working group Expert ISO/TC 269 and CEN/TC 256 Rüdiger Wendt IEC/TC 9 and CENELEC/TC 9X Bernard Lerouge 2

  3. European standards bodies CEN/CENELEC • Each country has one member in each standards body (usually the national standardization organization) • All organs, such as the general assembly, political and technical management committees, and standards committees, are open to all members • Affiliated standardization bodies and associated organizations have observer status

  4. Member countries in European standards bodies

  5. Objectives of European Standardisation Objective:Harmonization of national standards in all member states through uniform adoption of European Standards Mission:Lower trade barriers and create identical competititive conditions throughout the European Single Market

  6. New Approach • European Directives set out basic requirements for specific sectors • European Standards give substance to these basic requirements and provide technical solutions • Implementation of European Standards implies conformity with European Directives • New Approach Directives regulate products in major sectors of industry • Link to New Approach Homepage • Applicable Directives for the Railway sector are: • High-speed rail (96/48/EC) • Railways (2008/57/EC)

  7. Structure of CEN/TC 256

  8. Activities • Urban Rail • Fire Safety • Variable Gauges • Survey Groups for: • Maintenance Rolling Stock • Maintenance Infrastructure • NDT

  9. Standardisation and Innovation • Research projects can request a „Project Liaisons“ with the corresponding Technical Committee • This allows Project Representatives to participate in Plenary Meetings of a TC • Contributes to the work of the Working Group by direct involvement • Initiation of new standardisation activities • Identification of Standardisation needs by a Research project could be further developed in a TC or through Workshop Agreement (CWA) • Examples are: • TRANSFEU • TrioTRAIN • AcuTRAIN • For further help contact the Research Helpdesk by email: research@cencenelec.eu • www.cencenelec.eu/research

  10. MoU between CEN/CLC and ROS Standard • A common workshop took place in Brussels on 2012-06-28 involving representatives of the railway sector • A MoU shall be signed until end of 2012 • This would allow Russian Railway Experts to participate in European Rail Standardisation activities as Observer

  11. ISO/TC 269 Proposed first activities 1 of 4 • Standards applicable to the strategic development of the railways: • Standards that enable new project undertakers to adopt an optimum type of railway system • Standards that enable existing railway undertakers to confirm suitability of their system for International Standards • Standards that enable manufacturers to determine the essence of the requirement • Standards that enable passengers & residents along the railway to understand the social benefits of railway

  12. ISO/TC 269 Proposed first activities 2 of 4 • Standards that support the compatibility processes across the rail networks • Calculation methods for determining the size of rail vehicles and their clearance to the infrastructure (gauges) • Calculation methods for determining brake performance • Aerodynamics – methodology for determining safe operation • Running Behaviour – methodology for determining vehicle dynamic stability on a network • Longitudinal Dynamics compatibility with the infrastructure

  13. ISO/TC 269 Proposed first activities 3 of 4 • Standards that facilitate product development for infrastructure • For infrastructure related issues: design, materials, manufacturing processes, testing methods, these include: • Track geometry quality (Characterisation, Measuring devices and systems,…) • Track layout • Product for track building (Sleepers, bearers,…) • Proposed first work items are in the areas of: • Concrete sleepers • Switches and crossings • Track geometry quality

  14. ISO/TC 269 Proposed first activities 4 of 4 • Standards that facilitate product development for rolling stock • Vehicle structural requirements • Generic design requirements applicable to all Freight Wagons • Specific design requirements applicable to Tank Wagons • Automatic couplers • Gangways • Environmental conditions and environmental protection • Energy efficiency for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems • Wheelsets (design, assembly,…) • Proposed first work items are in the areas of: • Vehicle structural requirements • HVAC (The purpose of this proposed standard is to specify performance requirements and tests for HVAC units for rolling stock, including energy consumption and energy efficiency.)

  15. Next Meeting • Kick-Off Meeting of ISO/TC 269 takes place on 2012-10-30/31 in Berlin
