本欧洲标准适用于考虑到附件E中关于适用标准（迁移规则）的建议的情况下，第4款C-I至C-IV类定义的机车和客运车辆的新设计。旨在通过保持结构完整性保护车辆乘客，并不延伸到其他铁路员工和不在车辆上的客户或第三方。具体要求涉及CEN成员国的技术和操作使用条件。用于客运列车的新型车辆的设计基于符合本标准的兼容机车车辆的运行。人们认识到，操作要求将需要新的耐撞性和现有的非耐撞车辆存在于同一列车单元中，但是这些车辆组合不需要符合本欧洲标准。 这些要求适用于车体，以及适用于直接与之相关联的机械元件，可用于吸收碰撞中的能量，如联轴器，抛光系统等。它们不包括门，窗，系统部件的安全特性或内部功能，除了与p相关的具体问题

This document specifies crashworthiness requirements applicable to new designs of: - locomotives; - driving vehicles operating in passenger and freight trains; - passenger rail vehicles operating in passenger trains (such as trams, metros, mainline trains). This document identifies common methods of providing passive safety that can be adapted to suit individual vehicle requirements. This document specifies the characteristics of reference obstacle models for use with the design collision scenarios. This document also specifies the requirements and methods for demonstrating that the passive safety objectives have been achieved by comparison with existing proven designs, numerical simulation, component or full-size tests, or a combination of all these methods.
