The lighting for rolling stock in public transport systems shall enable a range of visual tasks to be performed. SIST EN 13272:2012



EN 13272:2012 (E) 7 The requirements to be met by the lighting system are based on the following criteria:  illuminance;  uniformity;  limitation of glare;  colour temperature and colour rendering. General lighting must achieve the values set out in Table 1 or Table 2. NOTE Where agreed by contractors, it is possible for the general lighting system to adapt to the ambient lighting, provided that the contribution from the general lighting system plus that from the ambient lighting achieves the values set out in Table 1 or Table 2. For high speed trains and conventional trains:  general lighting shall be provided in normal operation without interruption;  in the event of loss of the main power supply, general lighting shall be provided for a period of not less than 10 minutes. A lighting system can only satisfy specified requirements if all criteria mentioned above have been taken into account. Depending on the type and level of the difficulty of the visual task, orientation of seating, or of the type of accommodation to be lit, priority may be given to one or more of these criteria. 4.1.2 Illuminance and uniformity Different requirements are made concerning the general lighting for rolling stock in public transport systems according to the service and/or location. Two classes of vehicles are defined: (a) high speed and conventional trains and (b) other trains.
a) For high speed and conventional trains, which travel on either or both of the high speed and conventional trans-European rail systems, the minimum value of the average illuminance and uniformity requirements shall be in accordance with Table 1. b) For other trains, the minimum value of the average illuminance and uniformity requirements shall be in accordance with Table 2.

Where provided, the requirements for reduced lighting shall be as follows: The minimum lighting requirement shall be the emergency lighting illuminance requirements of 4.3.3. In passenger access areas (e.g. vestibules, stairways, corridors) the illuminance and uniformity shall be in accordance with Table 1. Where provided for passenger use, general light switches shall be internally lit. 4.1.8 Lighting control functions For special tasks, e.g. vehicle cleaning and lamps testing, it is recommended that a dedicated switching device is provided at a place in the vehicle which is convenient to the service people. 4.2 Stand-by lighting Standby lighting is not mandatory. However, where provided, the contractor shall specify the duration of standby lighting. Unless otherwise specified by the contractor, standby lighting illuminance shall be a minimum of 30 % of the general lighting illuminance. 4.3 Emergency lighting 4.3.1 General Emergency lighting shall be provided to operate in the event of the switching off or failure of general or standby lighting. Luminaires of the general lighting system may be used for the emergency lighting system. The emergency lighting shall be designed to enable continued occupation or safe egress from the vehicle, including the exit route. The emergency lighting shall be designed to illuminate the exit signs and the associated equipment. The emergency lighting system shall provide the light necessary to enable passengers to move inside vehicles and leave vehicles and in particular to recognize the presence of obstacles. Where required by the contractor, the emergency lighting system shall continue to operate after being subjected to two successive shock pulses in accordance with Annex C, when mounted in a manner representative of its installation in a vehicle. Reduced visibility due to airborne particles, caused by smoke or dust, should be taken into account. The emergency lighting shall be arranged to ensure that it will be switched on automatically and cannot be made ineffective by passengers. 4.3.2 Power supply The luminaires of the emergency lighting system shall be powered from the power supply (e.g. energy storage system) by an independent system. This shall ensure that the emergency lighting system remains operational in the event of failure of the dedicated lighting circuit.
The power supply shall be designed so that in the event of a fire, a minimum of 50 % of the emergency lighting in the vehicles not affected by fire shall be maintained for a period of time to be agreed by contractors. 4.3.3 Illuminance The minimum value of the average emergency illuminance shall be 5 lx at floor level along the centre line of the escape route.

Safety signs may be made of photoluminescent material conforming to the requirements of DIN 67510 or an equivalent publically available standard. Where photoluminescent signs are used, the minimum value of illuminance over the surface of the exit signage shall be 50 lx under general lighting.
NOTE This ensures the correct functioning of photoluminescent materials. All values shall be measured in accordance with 6.2 and 6.3. 4.3.4 Uniformity of illuminance The uniformity ratio of the emergency lighting, measured along the centre line of the escape route in accordance with 6.2 and 6.3 shall be between 0,15 and 5,0. 4.3.5 Glare limitation In order to minimize glare effects, the luminance of the emergency luminaires shall not exceed 400 cd/m2 in the usually visible surface (between 0° and 60° below the horizontal plane of the luminaire). 4.3.6 Starting performance The minimum starting performance of the emergency lighting is such that 50 % of the fully specified illuminance shall be achieved within 5 s, and the fully specified illuminance within 15 s. 4.3.7 Operating time The operating time of the emergency lighting shall be ensured for  rail vehicles of high speed trains: at least 3 h;  rail vehicles of conventional trains: at least 1,5 h;  rail vehicles of other trains: at least 1 h after the vehicle power supply, e.g. the battery charging system, has failed. NOTE The specified times apply to a fully charged energy storage system under conditions agreed between contractors. 4.3.8 Location of emergency lighting As a minimum, emergency luminaires shall be located in the following areas:  in each self-contained area, e.g. passenger compartments, toilets, driver’s cab, kitchen, etc.;  adjacent to doors and door steps, particularly at those which are used for emergency exit;  adjacent to the gangway between vehicles, where applicable;  in areas of likely obstructions, e.g. luggage in side corridors, vestibules, etc.;  in the vicinity of interruptions or changes of direction in aisles or side corridors;  at any change of the floor level. SIST EN 13272:2012



EN 13272:2012 (E) 12 NOTE The emergency luminaires in vestibule areas should be located to take account of exit arrangements and the route between vehicles. 4.3.9 Correlated colour temperature The correlated colour temperature of the lamps used for emergency lighting shall be between 2 800 K and 7 000 K.
4.3.10 Colour rendering The ability of a light source to render colours of surfaces accurately is important for safety. The Colour Rendering Index Ra as defined in CIE 17.4 shall be ≥ 80 or colour rendering group 1B.
4.3.11 Maintenance The functionality of the emergency light source shall be readily testable. Where an independent energy storage system is provided, its status shall be readily testable. 5 Lighting in service areas 5.1 General lighting 5.1.1 General In addition to the requirements of 4.1.1 the lighting shall be designed to provide good lighting performance in order to achieve a high degree of safety and comfort for the work intended. 5.1.2 Illuminance For safety reasons, the minimum value of the average illuminance in the whole service area shall not be less than 50 lx.
