This standard specifies the specification to be met by eddy current track brake installed on rolling stock in order to be allowed on the European railway network as defined in the Infrastructure TSIs.
It covers all aspects of mechanical interface with the track (forces, heating effect...). This standard also contains test methods and acceptance criteria for an eddy current track brake system. It identifies interfaces with electrical equipment, bogie and other brake systems.
On the basis of the existing international and national standards, additional requirements have been defined for:
- conditions of application for the eddy current track brake;
- retardation and brake forces;
- functional and design features;
- strength requirements;
- type, series and vehicle implementation tests.
