(Amendment)Railway applications - Braking - Requirements for the brake system of trains hauled by locomotives
Railway applications - Braking - Requirements for the brake system of trains hauled by locomotives
This European Standard specifies basic requirements for the braking of trains hauled by locomotives:
- For trains hauled by locomotives and intended for use in general operation each vehicle is fitted with the traditional brake system with a brake pipe compatible with the UIC brake system.
NOTE This ensures technical compatibility of the brake function between vehicles of various origins in a train (see 5.4).
- For trains hauled by locomotives and intended for use in fixed or predefined formation, the requirements on the vehicle and the train are necessary. In the case of a UIC brake system, this standard applies; if not, the EN 16185 series or the EN 15734 series applies.
If concerned, the UIC brake architecture described in this standard (see 5.4) can be used for brakes for multiple unit train and high speed trains and urban rail described in the EN 13452 series, the EN 16185 series and the EN 15734 series.
This European Standard also takes into account electrical and electronic control functions and additional brake systems like dynamic brakes and adhesion independent brakes.
The brake system requirements, which are specific for on-track machines are set out in EN 14033 1.
This European Standard does not apply to Urban Rail rolling stock braking system, which is specified by EN 13452 1.

Overview
SIST EN 14198:2017+A1:2019/kFprA2:2021 is a European standard published by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), focusing on railway applications, specifically the braking requirements for trains hauled by locomotives. This standard ensures that braking systems are technically compatible, safe, and efficient for both traditional and predefined train formations. The requirements address interoperability across rolling stock from various origins and support harmonized rail operations throughout Europe.
Key Topics
Compatibility with UIC Brake Systems
The standard mandates that trains for general operation use traditional brake systems with brake pipes compatible with the UIC (International Union of Railways) system. This ensures interoperability and technical compatibility among vehicles within a train, regardless of their origin.Braking Requirements for Different Train Formations
It covers both trains assembled from different vehicles and those with fixed or predefined formations. For standard UIC brake systems, SIST EN 14198 applies; for alternative brake architectures, references are made to EN 16185 and EN 15734.Integration of Additional Brake Technologies
The requirements also factor in electrical and electronic control functions, dynamic braking systems, and adhesion-independent brakes, addressing the advancements in modern train braking technologies.Venting Performance of Emergency Valves
Annex F introduces clear criteria for testing the venting performance of emergency brake valves. This is crucial to ensuring rapid pressure reductions during emergencies, supporting quick response and safety.Special Provisions for On-Track Machines
While SIST EN 14198 addresses locomotive-hauled trains, braking systems for on-track machines are regulated separately under EN 14033-1.
Applications
Implementing SIST EN 14198 is critical for:
Railway Operators and Rolling Stock Manufacturers:
Ensuring all locomotive-hauled trains meet a harmonized set of brake system safety and performance criteria, facilitating cross-border operation and reducing maintenance complexities.Train Maintenance and Safety Verification:
Providing standardized test procedures for brake performance, especially for emergency braking functions, helping operators maintain high safety levels and comply with European regulations.Retrofit and Interoperability Projects:
Supporting the integration or upgrade of rolling stock from different origins to guarantee they can safely operate together under a common braking system, which is vital for interoperable European rail networks.Fixed Train Formations and Special Use Cases:
The standard assists in specifying brake system requirements where predefined trainsets or alternate brake architectures (when not using UIC systems) are in use, ensuring operational safety and compatibility.
Related Standards
To provide comprehensive coverage of railway brake systems, SIST EN 14198 references and complements several associated standards:
EN 16185 Series:
Dedicated to requirements for brake systems not based on traditional UIC architecture and relevant to certain train formations.EN 15734 Series:
Addresses the braking of trains, particularly in cases where new technologies or fixed formations are involved.EN 13452-1:
Specifies requirements for braking systems in urban rail vehicles, outside the scope of this standard.EN 14033-1:
Defines brake system requirements for on-track machines, ensuring that such specialized vehicles meet appropriate safety standards.
By adhering to SIST EN 14198 and related European standards, stakeholders in the railway industry can ensure consistent, safe, and interoperable train operations throughout Europe, supporting both efficiency and public safety in rail transport.
