Overview
This standard contains safety specifications. This standard has been prepared by Subcommittee NA 087-00-15-03 UA "Fahrgastraum" ("Passenger area") of Working Committee NA 087-00-15 AA "Zustand der Eisenbahnfahrzeuge" ("State of railway vehicles") of the Railway Standardization Committee (FSF), in coordination with other working committees of the FSF and the German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies (DKE). The standards of the complete works "State of railway vehicles" represent a uniform and system-compatible normative document which specifies the limit state for the safe operation and processes to maintain the target state of standard gauge railway vehicles. All documents of the complete works are listed in DIN 27200, Supplement 1. DIN 27203 "State of railway vehicles - Passenger area" consists of: - Part 1: Entrance doors - Type of construction: Folding doors - Part 2: Entrance doors - Type of construction: Folding hinged doors - Part 3: Entrance doors - Type of construction: Sliding plug doors - Part 4: Entrance doors - Type of construction: Sliding doors - Part 5: Entrance doors - Type of construction: Swinging doors - Part 6: End doors/doors between coaches - Type of construction: Folding doors, sliding doors, roller loading doors, hinged doors - Part 7: Loading doors - Type of construction: Sliding plug doors, sliding doors, roller loading doors, folding doors - Part 8: Movable steps - Part 9: Emergency exit windows - Part 10: Vehicle related entrance devices - Part 11: Water supply installations - Part 12: Kitchen equipment - Part 13: Beverage dispensing systems - Part 14: Liquefied gas installations DIN 27203-15:2005-05 "State of railway vehicles - Passenger area - Hoists" has been withdrawn without any replacement in May 2010. Wear, failures and other damage influence the operational safety of railway vehicles. Depending on the wear characteristics, application parameters and the current state of the railway vehicles and the cost effectiveness, a maintenance system shall be specified by which it is ensured that the necessary technical target state is maintained. The general field of application of standard DIN 27203-11 is specified in DIN 27200:2011-11, clause 1 and 3.1. This standard applies to water supply installations to ensure the drinking water quality (human consumption) in the following railway vehicles: - restaurant, party and special cars, with facilities for the preparation, treatment and distribution of food (for example, on-board restaurant, bistro), - sleeping and couchette cars with facilities for, for example, washing and showering,- railway vehicles for the accommodation of staff, for example, work trains, tunnel rescue trains, - seating cars with toilets and washbasins. The figures of this standard have an exemplary character. The following modifications have been made with respect to DIN 27203-11:2005-05: a) foreword has been adapted; b) reference to DIN 27200:2011-11, clause 1 and 3.1 regarding the general scope has been redefined; c) new figures with examples for water supply installations (Figures 1 and 2) have been added; d) editorially revised.
