Standards Development
This document specifies requirements for interior engineering design of rail vehicles to minimize the risk of death and injury to their occupants in the event of a collision or derailment.
This document includes design and testing criteria for:
- Heavy rail locomotives and passenger rolling stock
- Light rail and metro vehicles
- Trams and tram-trains
The requirements apply to passenger areas. Staff areas (driver’s cab, crew compartments and catering facilities) are excluded.
Specific requirements are set out for seats and tables, with guidance on the design of other interior features and equipment.
ISO/TR 5914:2024 has established the worldwide state of the art of interior passive safety, based on extensive research completed in the UK, Europe and the USA. Many rail administrations have adopted interior passive safety requirements (such as the GB standard GMRT2100) as part of rail vehicle purchase contracts.
The proposed new International Standard would be based on existing standards such as GMRT2100, APTA-PR-CS-S-016, APTA-PR-CS-018, APTA-PR-CS-S-011-99 and APTA-PR-CS-S-006-98, and UIC-IRS 50564-3.
The WG would draw on experience in other ISO WGs for specific components such as glazing, seats, luggage racks, and drivers’ cabs to ensure there are no overlaps or gaps.
