1. INTRODUCTION
A Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSI) is a specification that covers a subsystem (or part of it) as described in Article 2(i) of Directive 2008/57/EC in order:
—
to ensure the interoperability of the rail system, and
—
to meet the essential requirements.
1.1. Technical scope
See Article 2 of this Regulation.
1.2. Geographical scope
The geographical scope of this TSI is the entire European Union’s rail system as set out in Article 1 of Directive 2008/57/EC, taking into account the limitations concerning the track gauge set out in Article 2.
1.3. Content of this TSI
In accordance with Article 5(3) of Directive 2008/57/EC, this TSI:
(a)
indicates its intended scope (Chapter 2);
(b)
lays down essential requirements for the part of the rolling stock subsystem concerned and for its interfaces vis-à-vis other subsystems (Chapter 3);
(c)
establishes the functional and technical specifications to be met by the subsystem and its interfaces vis-à-vis other subsystems (Chapter 4).
(d)
determines the interoperability constituents and interfaces which must be covered by European specifications, including European standards, which are necessary to achieve interoperability within the rail system (Chapter 5);
(e)
states, in each case under consideration, which procedures are to be used in order to assess the conformity or the suitability for use of the interoperability constituents and the ‘EC’ verification of the subsystems (Chapter 6);
(f)
indicates the strategy for implementing the TSIs (Chapter 7);
(g)
indicates, for the staff concerned, the professional qualifications and health and safety conditions at work that are required for the operation and maintenance of the above subsystem, as well as for the implementation of this TSI (Chapter 4).
2. SCOPE AND DEFINITION OF SUBSYSTEM
This TSI is applicable to ‘freight wagons including vehicles designed to carry lorries’ as referred to in Annex I Section 1.2 to Directive 2008/57/EC taking into account the limitations as set out in Article 2. In the following this part of the subsystem rolling stock is called ‘freight wagon’ and belongs to the subsystem ‘rolling stock’ as set out in Annex II to Directive 2008/57/EC.
The other vehicles listed in point 1.2 of Annex I to Directive 2008/57/EC are excluded from the scope of this TSI; this is especially the case for mobile railway infrastructure construction and maintenance equipment and vehicles designed to carry
—
motor vehicles with their passengers on board, or
—
motor vehicles without passengers on board but intended to be integrated in passenger trains (car carriers).
In the present TSI the following definitions are used:
(a)
A ‘unit’ is the generic term used to name the rolling stock. It is subject to the application of this TSI, and therefore subject to the EC verification procedure.
A unit can consist of:
—
a ‘wagon’ that can be operated separately, featuring an individual frame mounted on its own set of wheels, or
—
a rake of permanently connected ‘elements’, those elements cannot be operated separately, or
—
‘separate rail bogies connected to compatible road vehicle(s)’ the combination of which forms a rake of a rail compatible system.
(b)
A ‘train’ is an operational formation consisting of several units.
(c)
The ‘design operating state’ covers all conditions under which the unit is intended to operate and its technical boundaries. This design operating state may go beyond the specifications of this TSI in order that units may be used together in a train on the network under the safety management system of a railway undertaking.
3. ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS
Article 4(1) of Directive 2008/57/EC states, that the rail system its subsystems and their interoperability constituents shall meet the relevant essential requirements. The essential requirements are set out in general terms in Annex III to Directive 2008/57/EC. Table 1 indicates the basic parameters specified in this TSI and their correspondence to the essential requirements as explained in Annex III to Directive 2008/57/EC.

4. CHARACTERISATION OF THE SUBSYSTEM
4.1. Introduction
The rail system, to which Directive 2008/57/EC applies and of which freight wagons form a part, is an integrated system whose consistency shall be verified. This consistency shall be checked in particular with regard to the specifications of the rolling stock subsystem and the compatibility with the network (Section 4.2), its interfaces in relation to the other subsystems of the rail system in which it is integrated (Sections 4.2 and 4.3), as well as the initial operating and maintenance rules (Sections 4.4 and 4.5) as requested by Article 18(3) of Directive 2008/57/EC.
The technical file, as set out in Article 18(3) and Annex VI to Directive 2008/57/EC (Section 4.8), shall contain in particular design related values concerning the compatibility with the network.
4.2. Functional and technical specifications of the subsystem
4.2.1. General
In light of the essential requirements in Chapter 3, the functional and technical specifications of the subsystem ‘rolling stock — freight wagons’ are grouped and sorted out in the following points of this Chapter:
—
Structures and mechanical parts
—
Gauging and vehicle track interaction
—
Brake
—
Environmental conditions
—
System protection.
Except where this is strictly necessary for the interoperability of the rail system and to meet the relevant essential requirements, the functional and technical specifications of the freight wagon and its interfaces do not impose the use of any particular technical solutions.
Innovative solutions, which do not fulfil the requirements specified in this TSI and/or which are not assessable as stated in this TSI, require new specifications and/or new assessment methods. In order to allow technological innovation, these specifications and assessment methods shall be developed by the process ‘innovative solution’ described in Chapter 6.
When the functional and technical specifications that are necessary in order to achieve interoperability and to meet the essential requirements, have not been developed concerning a particular technical aspect, this aspect is identified as an open point in the relevant point. As required in Article 5(6) of Directive 2008/57/EC all open points are listed in Appendix A.
In Appendix C a set of conditions is specified. The conformity with this set of conditions is optional. If this option is selected, the conformity shall be assessed by a notified body within the EC verification procedure.
In accordance with Article 5(5) of Directive 2008/57/EC, provision may be made for specific cases for each TSI. Such provisions are indicated in Chapter 7.
As far as possible the assessment procedure for the requirements in Section 4.2 is defined in Chapter 6. In these cases the text of Section 4.2 makes a reference to the corresponding points and sub points clauses of Chapter 6. If for a particular basic parameter the separation of requirements and assessment procedures is not feasible, no reference is given.
4.2.2. Structures and mechanical parts
4.2.2.1. Mechanical interface
4.2.2.1.1.
End coupling
The end coupling is the mechanical interface between units forming a train.
The coupling system shall be designed in a way that no human presence between the units to be coupled/uncoupled shall be required whilst either one unit is moving.
End couplings shall be resilient and capable of withstanding the forces in accordance with the defined design operating state of the unit.
4.2.2.1.2.
Inner coupling
The inner coupling is the mechanical interface between elements forming a unit.
The inner coupling shall be resilient and capable of withstanding the forces in accordance with the defined design operating state of the unit. The joint between two elements sharing the same running gear, is covered by point 4.2.2.2.
The longitudinal strength of the inner coupling(s) shall be equal to or higher than the one of the end coupling(s) of the unit.
4.2.2.2. Strength of unit
The structure of a unit body, any equipment attachments and lifting and jacking points shall be designed such that no cracks, no significant permanent deformation or ruptures occur under the load cases defined in Chapter 5 of EN 12663-2:2010. Joining techniques shall be deemed to be covered by the demonstration of conformity in accordance to point 6.2.2.1.
The demonstration of conformity is described in point 6.2.2.1.
The jacking positions shall be marked on the unit. The marking shall comply with point 4.5.13 of EN 15877-1:2012.
4.2.2.3. Integrity of the unit
The unit shall be designed so that all movable parts intended to close an aperture (access doors, tarpaulin, lids, hatches, etc.) are prevented against an unintentional movement of these parts.
Locking devices shall indicate their status (open/closed) and shall be visible outside the unit.
4.2.3. Gauging and track interaction
4.2.3.1. Gauging
This point concerns the rules for calculation intended for sizing the rolling stock to run on one or several networks without interference risk.
The compliance of a unit with the intended reference profile including the reference profile for the lower part shall be established by one of the methods set out in EN 15273-2:2009.
The kinematic method, as described in EN 15273-2:2009 shall be used to establish conformity, if any, between the reference profile established for the unit and the respective target reference profiles G1, GA, GB and GC including those used for the lower part GIC1 and GIC2.
4.2.3.2. Compatibility with load carrying capacity of lines

4.2.4. Brake
4.2.4.1. General
The purpose of the train brake system is to ensure that:
—
the train’s speed can be reduced,
—
the train’s speed can be maintained on a slope,
—
the train can be stopped within the maximum allowable braking distance, and that
—
the train can be immobilised.
Primary factors that influence the braking performance and the braking process are:
—
the braking power,
—
the train mass,
—
the speed,
—
the allowable braking distance,
—
the available adhesion, and
—
the track gradient.
The brake performance of a train is derived from the individual brake performance of each unit in the train.
4.2.4.2. Safety requirements
The braking system contributes to the safety level of the railway system. Therefore the design of the braking system of a unit has to undergo a risk assessment in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 352/2009 ( 3 ) considering the hazard of complete loss of the brake capability of the unit. The severity level shall be deemed as catastrophic when:
—
it affects the unit alone (combination of failures), or
—
it affects the brake capability of more than the unit (single fault).
The fulfilment of the conditions of C.9 and C.14 of Appendix C is presumed to be in conformity with this requirement.
4.2.4.3. Functional and technical requirements
4.2.4.3.1.
General functional requirements
The brake equipment of the unit shall provide the functions of braking such as the application and the release of the brake, upon a transmitted signal. The brake shall be:
—
continuous (the brake application or release signal is transmitted from a central command to the whole train by a control line),
—
automatic (an inadvertent disruption of the control line shall lead to brake activation on all units of the train bringing each part to stand still),
—
disengageable, which enables its release and isolation.
4.2.4.3.2.
Brake performance
4.2.4.3.2.1. Service brake
The brake performance of a train or a unit is its ability to decelerate. It is the result of the braking power available to decelerate the train or unit within defined limits and all factors involved in the conversion and dissipation of energy including train resistance.
The brake performance of a unit shall be calculated in accordance with one of the following documents:
—
EN 14531-6:2009, or
—
UIC 544-1:2012.
The calculation shall be validated by tests. Brake performance calculation in accordance with UIC 544-1 shall be validated as set out in UIC 544-1:2012.
4.2.4.3.2.2. Parking brake
A Parking Brake is a brake used to prevent parked rolling stock moving under the specified conditions taking into account the place, wind, gradient and rolling stock loading state, until intentionally released.
If the unit is equipped with a parking brake, the following requirements shall be met:
—
the immobilisation shall remain until intentionally released,
—
where it is not possible to identify the state of the parking brake directly, an indicator showing the state shall be provided on both sides on the outside of the vehicle,
—
the minimum parking brake performance, considering no wind, shall be determined by calculations as defined in the standard clause 6 of EN 14531-6:2009,
—
the minimum performance of the parking brake shall be marked on the unit. The marking shall comply with clause 4.5.25 of EN 15877-1:2012. The parking brake of a unit shall be designed considering a wheel/rail (steel/steel) adhesion factor not higher than 0,12.
4.2.4.3.3.
Thermal capacity
The brake equipment shall be able to withstand one emergency brake application without any loss of brake performance due to thermal or mechanical effects.
The braking power, the unit is capable to withstand without any adverse loss of brake performance due to thermal or mechanical effects, shall be defined and expressed in terms of speed and brake application time.
The demonstration of conformity is described in point 6.2.2.6.
A slope of 21 ‰ at 70 km/h during 40 km may be considered as the reference case for the thermal capacity which results in a braking power of 45 kW per wheel during 34 minutes for a nominal wheel diameter of 920 mm and an axle load of 22,5 t.
4.2.4.3.4.
Wheel slide protection (WSP)
Wheel slide protection (WSP) is a system designed to use the maximum available adhesion by decreasing, holding or increasing the brake force to prevent wheel sets from locking and uncontrolled sliding. Thereby the stopping distance shall be optimised.
If an electronic WSP-control is used negative effects caused by malfunctions of WSP shall be reduced by suitable system design processes and technical configuration.
The WSP shall not alter the functional characteristics of the brakes. The vehicle’s air equipment shall be dimensioned such that the air consumption of the WSP does not impair the performance of the pneumatic brake. The design process of the WSP shall take into account that the WSP has no detrimental effect on the constituent parts of the vehicle (brake gear, wheel tread, axle boxes, etc.).
The following types of units shall be fitted with WSP:
—
Equipped with all types of brake block, for which the maximum mean utilisation of adhesion is greater than 0,12.
—
Equipped with disc brakes only and/or with composite brake blocks, for which the maximum mean utilisation of adhesion is greater than 0,11.
4.2.5. Environmental conditions
The design of the unit, as well as its constituents shall take into account the environmental conditions to which this rolling stock will be subjected to.
The environmental parameters are described in the clauses below. For each environmental parameter, a nominal range is defined, which is the most commonly encountered in Europe, and is the basis for the interoperable unit.
For certain environmental parameters ranges other than the nominal one are defined. In that case, a range shall be selected for the design of the unit.
For the functions identified in the clauses below, design and/or testing provisions taken to ensure that the rolling stock is meeting the TSI requirements in this range shall be described in the technical file.
Depending on the ranges selected and on provisions taken (described in the technical file), appropriate operating rules could be necessary when the unit designed for the nominal range is operated on a particular line where the nominal range is exceeded at certain periods of the year.
The ranges, if different from the nominal one, to be selected to avoid any restrictive operating rule(s) linked to environmental conditions, are specified by the Member States and are listed in Section 7.4.
The unit and its constituents shall be designed under consideration of one or several of the following external air temperature ranges:
—
T1: – 25 °C to + 40 °C (nominal),
—
T2: – 40 °C to + 35 °C, and
—
T3: – 25 °C to + 45 °C.
The unit shall meet the requirements of this TSI without degradation for snow, ice and hail conditions as defined in clause 4.7 of EN 50125-1:1999, which correspond to the nominal range.
Where more severe ‘snow, ice and hail’ conditions than considered in the standard are selected, the unit and its constituents shall then be designed to meet TSI requirements considering the combined effect with low temperature according to the temperature range chosen.
In relation with the temperature range T2 and with the severe conditions for snow, ice and hail, the provisions taken to meet TSI requirements in these severe conditions shall be identified and verified, in particular design and/or testing provisions considering the following functions:
—
Coupling function restricted to the resiliency of couplings.
—
Brake function, including brake equipment.
