16、nical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway Applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2014, and conflicting national standards shall be
17、withdrawn at the latest by March 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate
18、 given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 2008/57/EC. For relationship with EU Directive 2008/57/EC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This European standard is part of the
19、 series EN 16116, Railway applications Design requirements for steps, handrails and associated access for staff, which consists of the following parts: Part 1: Passenger vehicles, luggage vans and locomotives; Part 2: Freight wagons. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national st
20、andards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,

BS EN 16116-1:2013EN 16116-1:2013 (E) 4 Introduction Locomotives, luggage vans and passenger rolling stock are designed so that staff are not exposed to
22、undue risk during coupling and access to the vehicle or to special equipment. It is therefore essential to define common requirements for rolling stock. BS EN 16116-1:2013EN 16116-1:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the minimum ergonomic and structural integrity requirements for st
23、eps and handrails used by railway staff to access passenger vehicles, luggage vans, locomotives and power units of rolling stock. It also applies to passenger-rated car carriers. This European Standard defines the required spaces necessary for handling of screw couplings with side buffers, shunter h
24、andrails and shunters stand. For staff access, it defines footsteps, handrails and their dimensions and free spaces. To fulfil the requirements for loads which are applied by the staff, it defines dimensions and requirements for materials or design loads. It also defines the general requirements of
25、steps and handrail for access to external equipment, for example windscreens, wipers or external lights. This European Standard does not cover on track machines (mobile railway infrastructure construction and maintenance equipment) and tram-trains. 2 Normative references The following documents, in

32、1 to entry: These positions may be: a shunters stand, a platform, a step with a corresponding handrail, the drivers cab or vestibule of a passenger car with sight in the direction of travel. 4 General requirements for steps and handrails Steps and handrails shall withstand the loads applied by staff
33、. For confidence in the safety of steps and handrails an appropriate stiffness should be provided. The corresponding stiffness criteria (permissible elastic deformation under load) for steps and handrails are optional and should be defined in the specification. The following requirements shall be de
34、monstrated by analyses or tests: steps used as a safe working position for the shunter shall be able to withstand separately acting forces of 2 kN vertically and 1,5 kN laterally or longitudinally, applied by staff at any point without causing permanent deformation to it or its fixings, other steps
35、shall be capable of withstanding separately acting forces of 1,5 kN vertically and 1,5 kN laterally or longitudinally, applied by staff at any point without causing permanent deformation to it or its fixings, BS EN 16116-1:2013EN 16116-1:2013 (E) 7 handrails shall be capable of withstanding a force
36、applied by staff of 1,5 kN at any point in any direction without causing permanent deformation to it or its fixings. When demonstrated by tests it is recommended that the component is preloaded to stabilise any residual stresses induced during manufacture and the maximum force is applied at least tw
37、ice. The results of the final tests shall not show permanent deformations. Handrails shall not have any sharp edges; where handrails have a rectangular section the corners shall be rounded. Unless otherwise specified in this standard, the cross sectional dimensions shall be: for round shape between
38、20 mm and 35 mm or for oval shape: minimum dimension of 12 mm thickness and 35 mm width and maximum dimension of 40 mm. Unless otherwise specified in this standard, the handrails should have a minimum clearance of 100 mm that may be reduced to a minimum of 40 mm if necessary. Steps and handrails use
39、d by staff shall be secured as follows: with positive locking or with bolts of adequate length and appropriate self-locking or with high-strength lock ring-bolts or welded into place in accordance with EN 15085. All steps shall be made with a non slip surface and shall not have sharp edges causing o
40、bstacles for the shoes of the staff. Steps or platforms used as a safe working position for the shunter, walkways and access steps to the platform and drivers cab at shunting powered units which could be covered with ice because they are not sheltered from weather conditions shall be made of metal g
41、ratings and fulfil the following criteria: 1) Resistance to friction: The average value of the coefficient of friction measured in 3 directions (lengthwise, widthwise and diagonally) shall reach the following minimum values: a) in dry and wet (water) condition: 0,65 b) in oiled condition: 0,30 Coeff
42、icient of friction values shall be ascertained by means of a 100 mm 100 mm movable plate, on which a rubber pad with 80 shore hardness shall be glued; this plate shall be loaded with a weight of 75 kg. For the measurements carried out with water and oil, the grating shall be fully immersed. 2) Grati
43、ng structure: To ensure that the gratings are sufficiently well-adapted to winter conditions, a ratio of at least 50 % of “void” area to total area shall be observed. Only apertures that can be penetrated by a ball-shaped object with a diameter of 10 mm and have a minimum area of 400 mm2shall be tak
44、en into account to determine this ratio. NOTE The “void” area is the free space afforded by the grating apertures in the vertical direction. Examples which fulfil the above criteria are given in Annex A. BS EN 16116-1:2013EN 16116-1:2013 (E) 8 Other steps which are not sheltered from weather conditi
45、ons should be sufficiently well-adapted to conditions in relation with their use. All dimensions given in this standard with respect to top of rail shall be derived for vehicles in working order standing on a horizontal track. 5 Requirements for handling screw couplings with side buffers 5.1 General
46、 Vehicles which have to be coupled to trains of variable consist by screw couplings shall provide: safe working positions for the shunter at each vehicle end fitted with screw couplings, a shunter handrail under each buffer and reserved spaces for safe operation by the shunter. A safe working positi
47、on shall be accessible from both sides of the vehicle from 200 mm below top of rail. If defined in the specification, a safe working position for the shunter may be omitted on the vehicle (e.g. dining cars or sleeping cars with side end doors only on one vehicle end or according to national regulati
48、ons). In this case other operational solutions shall allow shunting of such vehicles and this shall be defined in the specification. On passenger coaches and luggage vans fitted with side end doors, where there are no outside handholds or steps for passengers, when the door is closed, special handra
49、ils and steps for shunters may be omitted. In this case, the inner handrails and the inner door steps shall serve as a working position for the shunter when the door is open. The shunter shall have the possibility to open the doors from outside or inside and sliding doors shall not cause danger to the shunter during the shunting process. Powered units that are exclusively or mainly intended for shunting purposes shall be provided at least at one end with a transverse platform accessible from both sides. Fo
