Standards Development
This document defines the functions of luggage racks and provides guidance on the expected performances of the passenger saloon luggage racks which are installed in heavy rail passenger vehicles under each speed level.
Luggage rack is an important component in rolling stock with various types. With the development of technology, functions of the luggage rack have upgraded from storage only in the past to assembly of air outlet, seat number display, speaker etc. now. Material of the luggage rack has also developed from all-metal frame to composite material, laminated glass, PC etc.
In the meantime, demands for ergonomic requirements have been raising up to enhance the convenience and comfort for the passengers. From the quality promotion aspect, passengers’ demands of luggage storage, convenience etc. should be satisfied.
Considering the development trend of the luggage rack products, it is necessary to develop an international standard which contains basic and general requirements. The purpose is not to constrain the future luggage racks design, but to provide guidance on it. In this way, each country, especially the ones which do not have their own luggage rack standard to refer, will have one universal standard foundation when they draft their technical specification.
Luggage racks are understood in this document as racks installed at ceiling height intended for stowing of passenger items (equivalent to baggage racks as specified in UIC leaflet 562). Interior passive safety, based on the outcomes of ISO/TC269/SC2/WG08 to avoid any overlap, and ergonomics will be considered in this standard.
UIC agreed that technical requirements will be handled in this ISO standard and that business requirements will be handled in UIC documents.
The outcomes of ISO/TC269/SC2/WG11 will also be acknowledged to avoid overlap or contradicting requirements.
EN 15663 and IRS 50564-3 have also been considered when drafting this proposal, there is no overlapping issue existing between the proposal and that two standards. There is a need for one international ISO standard integrating general requirements, performance requirements, function requirements and quality recommendations which could meet the demand of future design guidance on the aspect of mechanical, ergonomics, etc.
