Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 16635:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway
applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,

Introduction
This document is a Technical Specification for the assessment of the internal space requirements of a
universal (wheelchair accessible) toilet.
This document aims to define the assessment and measuring methodology to allow a clear pass/fail
assessment and allow successful implementation of the Technical Specification for Interoperability (TSI) for
Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRM) [1]. Clause 5 reflects the requirements in the TSI and Clause 6 adds
assessment criteria based on those requirements.
This document will be used until the issuing of EN 16585-1, Railway applications — Design for PRM use —
Equipment and components onboard rolling stock — Part 1: Toilets [2].
1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes the specific ‘Design for PRM use’ requirements applying to rolling stock
on the Trans-European Network (TEN) covered by the TSI for PRM and the assessment of those
requirements. Regarding this document, the following statements apply.
— The definitions and requirements describe specific aspects of ‘Design for PRM use’ required by persons
with reduced mobility as defined in the TSI PRM.
— The definitions and requirements of this specification will be used for rolling stock applications.
— This specification only refers to aspects of accessibility for PRM passengers; it does not define general
requirements and general definitions for specific components and systems.
— This specification assumes that the vehicle is in the nominal operating condition; any damage or
operating failures will not be taken into account when assessing these requirements.
— Where minimum or maximum dimensions are quoted, these are absolute NOT nominal requirements.
Measurement methods and/or assessment procedures needed to establish a clear pass/fail assessment are
provided where necessary.
