EN 15877-2:2013 (E) 5 Introduction This standard has been developed to provide a European standard for external markings used on railway vehicles. These markings are used to provide various items of information to railway staff relating to the technical and operational characteristics and intended use of vehicles in a clear and concise manner. Among those markings are safety markings used to alert equipment operators to hazards that may be encountered in the use or maintenance of the vehicles and markings relevant to emergency and rescue. The standard is applicable to coaches, motive power units, locomotives and on track machines operating within the European Union, the European Free Trade Association Member States and States which are member of OTIF (Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail) and it satisfies the legal requirements within these institutions. The standard is consistent with: a) the Technical Specification for Interoperability Subsystem: 1) Rolling Stock Scope for Conventional and High Speed Locomotives and Passenger rolling stock;
2) Traffic Operation and Management; b) the Convention Concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF) of 9th May 1980 in the Version of the Protocol of Modification of 3rd June 1999 which entered into force on 1st July 2006. It therefore supports the essential requirements of:  Directive 2008/57/EC on the Interoperability of the Railway System;  COTIF 1999, Appendix F, Annex 1-A. It is intended to be used by all parties concerned with the marking of railway vehicles. SIST EN 15877-2:2014



EN 15877-2:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope This part of the European Standard identifies the information required or recommended to be marked on coaches, motive power units, locomotives and On Track Machines, relating to their technical and operational characteristics. It defines the characteristics of these markings, the requirements pertaining to their presentation, their shape and position on a vehicle and their meaning. Some markings are accompanied with note(s) where appropriate. Service markings relating to passenger information are not addressed by this standard. The provisions of this standard cover external markings on vehicles as required by: • the TSIs; • the COTIF regulations. In addition to the markings shown in this European Standard, there might be other markings and text applied to these vehicles, e.g. instructions and warnings concerning the use of equipment specific to the vehicle. Such additional markings are not in contravention of this standard provided they do not interfere with, create ambiguity or in any other way affect the markings in this standard. This European Standard is applicable to all railway motive power units, coaches, baggage and mail vans and car carrying coaches intended to be included in passenger trains, locomotives and On Track Machines operating within and between Member States of the European Union, the European Economic Area Member States and States which are member of OTIF (Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail) and it satisfies the legal requirements within these institutions. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Further details of the CIE Tristimulus values are given in CIE 15:2004 and further details of the measurement of reflection are given in CIE 130:1998. 3.1.3 contrast
K perception of a difference visually between one surface or element of a railway vehicle and another by reference to their light reflectance values (LRV) Note 1 to entry: When applying colour to two adjacent surfaces, to provide sufficient contrast, the contrast between the colours will be determined by the light reflectance value. For the purposes of this standard, “contrast” will be assessed by the diffused light reflectance value. Contrast by the diffused light reflectance value’ will mean contrast of surfaces described in the following formula: hhLLLLK+−=00)( where K
is the contrast; L0
is the diffused light reflectance value of the object; Lh
is the diffused light reflectance value of the background or adjacent surface. 3.1.4 marking lettering or symbols applied to a vehicle by means of decals, hand painting or by another agreed method with the purpose of providing information concerning the vehicle 3.1.5 retro-reflecting material material which reflects radiation (light) in a direction close to the opposite of the direction from which it came 3.1.6 stencil template for the required lettering 3.1.7 vehicle in this standard, smallest part in a train (a single vehicle) which features an individual bodyshell lying on its own sets of bogies or wheels or sharing them with adjacent vehicles 3.1.8 railway vehicle vehicle suitable for circulation on its own wheels on railway lines with or without traction 3.1.9 motive power unit self-propelled unit capable of carrying passengers and/or luggage/mail 3.1.10 train operational formation consisting of one or more vehicles SIST EN 15877-2:2014

4 Markings 4.1 General principles 4.1.1 The markings and the content of information are as given in 4.5. Where a marking is defined in this standard, then other markings indicating the same function/facility shall not be applied. 4.1.2 A marking shall be located on the vehicle at a position easily visible by staff standing and presented in a way clearly understandable to persons concerned. If the marking is intended to be read by a person standing at ground level, it should not be located at a level higher than 2 000 mm above the rail surface1). The visibility shall also be ensured if the marking needs to be read from a position other than ground level or if it is placed on a non-vertical surface. Hazard Markings, e.g. the warning marking for live catenary, shall be located in such a position that they can be seen before the hazard zone is actually reached. 4.1.3 Advertising, designs or other text or pictures not relating to markings applied to a vehicle shall not affect the visibility and the clear and unambiguous understanding of the marking. Such advertising or markings shall not encroach within 100 mm of the markings defined in this standard. 4.1.4 Unless otherwise indicated in the diagrams, the markings shall be placed on both sides of the vehicle. 4.1.5 A marking shall ensure durable, non-degraded marking for a period of at least 6 years under a temperature range of -40 °C to +90 °C. It shall be weather-resistant and resistant to cleaning agents, high pressure water or air cleaning and cleaning machines with brushes. 4.1.6 Markings shall use Latin characters and Arabic numerals. The font to be used shall be non-italic, sans serif and of a type such as Univers 67, Helvetica, Arial. 4.1.7 The dimensions indicated in this document may have a tolerance of plus or minus 10 % when the marking is hand produced. 4.2 Colour 4.2.1 Colours used shall conform to ISO 3864-4:2011. Examples are given in Annex E of that standard. A combination of the colours Red and Green is not allowed for contrast. NOTE For the colour Orange, which is not included in Table E.1 of ISO 3864-4:2011 but is specified in RID, RAL 2003 or NCS S 0570-Y50R or equivalent can be used. RAL® and NCS® are not normative for colour matching, but are examples from industry colour order systems to indicate what the respective colours look like. 4.2.2 Unless otherwise indicated in the diagrams, the colours need not be made of retro reflecting material. 4.2.3 The luminance contrast K shall be greater than 0,6. 4.2.4 If there is no colour specification indicated with the specification of a marking, the colour of the informative part (the symbol, letters/numbers, borders and lines) shall be black on a light uniform background or white on a dark uniform background. The background for decals, stencils and painted markings may be
1) For the assessment of the location criteria, the ground level should not be lower than 200 mm below the rail surface; in accordance with anthropometric data, the eye level of the reading person should not be less than 1 500 mm above ground; and the reading distance should be minimum 700 mm from the side of the vehicle. Tilting the head back, it should be possible to look up at an angle of 45 degrees above horizontal; a calculation using these parameters gives the limitation 2 000 mm. SIST EN 15877-2:2014

If no specific position for a marking is prescribed in 4.5, the following general rules are to be followed: A marking indicating a lever, a button, a nozzle, an indicator, hidden equipment or a point for action (e.g. a lifting point) shall be located next to that item (normally above, beneath or on the cover concealing the item) and may not lead to any misunderstanding or confusion. Other markings shall be logically grouped (e.g. vehicle number, operational capability and braking characteristics etc.); these other markings shall, unless otherwise indicated in the diagrams, be placed on the vehicle body side either in a line on the lower part of it (above the skirt) or within a notional rectangle close to the end of the vehicle body. Markings should be positioned generally according to the examples given in the position diagrams of Figures 1 to 3. SIST EN 15877-2:2014
