NORM DRAFT

Introduction
This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for construction and operation of railway
passenger access systems to ensure:
safe access and egress from passenger trains through body side doors and steps;

usability for persons with reduced mobility

a minimum risk of injury to persons as a result of door and step operation;

that the doors and moveable steps, ramps, bridge plates remain closed when the vehicle is in motion; and

safe maintenance of the entrance systems.

NORM DRAFT

FprEN 14752:2014 (E)

Scope

This European Standard is applicable to passenger body side entrance systems of all newly designed railway
vehicles such as tram, metro, suburban, mainline and high-speed trains that carry passengers. The
requirements of this European Standard also apply to existing vehicles undergoing refurbishment of the door
equipment, as far as it is reasonably practicable.
This European Standard also specifies the requirements for testing of entrance systems.
This European Standard makes reference to manual and power operated entrance systems. For manual
doors, clauses referring to power operation are not applicable.
This European Standard does not apply to the following:

entrance systems for equipment access, inspection or maintenance purposes and for crew only use;

doors on freight wagons; and

doors or hatches specifically provided for escape under emergency conditions.
