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

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

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)

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

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: [email protected]
• www.cencenelec.eu/research

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

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
FSF
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
FSF
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
FSF
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.)
