Rolling Stock Standards Committee
Scope
The scope of activities for the RST SC is defined in its remit. This includes aspects of vehicle design, construction, and maintenance associated with:
- structures
- wheels and axles
- brakes
- draw gear and couplings
- fire resistance
- derailment risk
- gauge
- cab design
- interior environment (air quality, lighting, noise, and vibration)
- visibility and audibility
- train safety systems
- doors and windows
- data recorders
- EMC issues.
The committee’s coverage includes consideration of the interfaces between items within its coverage and those within the coverage of other standards committees (for example, the interfaces between railway vehicles and track and structures, traction supply and signalling systems). The committee also gives consideration to requirements relating to activities dealt with in general, multi-functional documents in so far as they affect items within the committee’s coverage. The technical scope of the committee is aligned with the scope of the rolling stock sub-system, as defined for the purposes of interoperability and set out in Directive 2008/57/EC.
