DIN Standards Committee Railway

Overview

This document (EN 16207:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 "Railway applications", the secretariat of which is held by DIN (Germany). The responsible national standardization committee is Working Committee NA 087-00-03 AA "Bremse" ("Brake") at DIN Standards Committee Railway (FSF). This document specifies the functionality, position, constraints and control of a magnetic track brakesystem (MTB system) installed in bogies for use in emergency braking and in low adhesion conditions on Mainline Trains with speeds up to 280 km/h. It covers high suspension types of MTB only and not high/low and low suspension type of MTB. This document also specifies test methods and acceptance criteria for an MTB system. It identifies interfaces with electrical equipment, bogie, track and other brake systems. This document specifies additional requirements for: - conditions of application for the MTB system; - retardation and brake forces; - functional and design features; - strength requirements; - type, series and vehicle implementation tests. For design and calculation a "reference surface" is established. This standard differs from DIN EN 16207:2020-02 as follows: a) normative references have been updated; b) requirements for end pieces of magnet elements have been revised; c) requirements for control of the MTB have been revised; d) the content of Table C.1 "List of end pieces and main dimensions" has been updated; e) the new normative Annex D "Validation process for new end pieces of MTB" has been added; f) Annex ZA has been updated in accordance with Directive (EU) 2016/797; g) the standard has been editorially revised.
