5.1 General
5.1.1 External steps and handrails
The access steps shall be in the same vertical plane or in a plane with an angle of pitch less than 90°
(except where not possible due to different mounting conditions, for example, where some steps are
bogie mounted and some are body mounted). The access steps shall be located one above the other and
are equidistant from one another. The vertical distance between the steps is recommended to be in
between 250 mm and 350 mm, but shall not exceed 450 mm. The bottom step shall be as low as permitted
by the gauge and should not be higher than 600 mm above top of rail.
The steps shall be of the same width which shall be 300 mm as a minimum. The depth of the step shall be
at least 80 mm. There shall be a free space above the step, with a minimum depth of 150 mm. This space
over the step should be 150 mm high but shall not be less than 120 mm high. The height may decrease to
80 mm at a depth of 150 mm.
The level of the access door does not have to comply with the requirements above.
The floor or any sealing frame at the access door needs not be considered as a step but the height of the
floor level above the adjacent step shall not be more than 450 mm and it is recommended that this height
is equidistant to the other steps.
A handrail shall be provided in all cases on each side of external doors and steps directly leading to a
driver’s cab. The handrails shall be mounted solely at each end. The distance from the lower extremity of
the handrail to top of rail should not be higher than 1 100 mm, but shall not exceed 1 250 mm. The

SIST EN 16186-8:2022
EN 16186-8:2022 (E)
The driver’s cab and its access shall be designed so that the staff are able to prevent the cab being accessed
by non-authorized persons, whether the cab is occupied or not. This requirement is deemed to be fulfilled
by a locking system.
An emergency escape device shall permit to open any cab door from inside the cab without using any tool
or key.
Egress and access to the driver’s cab shall be possible without any energy supply.
5.1.3 Door handles
Door handles on the inside of the cab which are intended to be operated from a standing position shall
be located at a height between 820 mm and 1 200 mm (distance between the rotation axis of the handle
and the cab floor). The recommended value for the height of the door handles is 850 mm.
The handles shall have rounded edges and the force required to operate it should be adapted to the
driver's population. In all cases, the force shall not exceed 50 N.
5.1.4 Threshold

6 Floor and flooring
6.1 Floor surface criteria
Walkable area and steps shall be slip resistant.
This is deemed to be fulfilled by applying the requirement of EN 16165:2021, α ≥ 9°.
shod
For minimizing the tripping hazard, the walkable floor of the cab shall be level (with a tolerance of ± 2°).
Exceptions are allowed in the following areas:
— area up to a maximum of 25 mm from the walls;
— the area below the desk;
— the area adjacent to doors (if there is a step) up to a distance of 25 mm.
No irregularity on the walkable floor shall protrude by more than 2 mm.
Sealing plates of door frames or sealing plates of door thresholds and maintenance openings are not
considered as being a floor irregularity, but shall not exceed 5 mm in height.
Due to the application of a vertical load of 1300 N on a surface of 300 mm × 200 mm, no eslastic deflection
of more than 10 mm in direction of the load shall be observed in the walkable floor, over the whole area.
This can be demonstrated by calculation or by test.
NOTE No reference to EN 15663 is given, because the load is associated to the stiffness of the floor and not to
the load calculation for the vehicle.
6.2 Steps
The walkable floor of the driver's cab (access to the cab and foot rest excluded) shall be without any steps.
Steps are permitted between the cab and adjacent passenger area, as well as for accessing the cab from
the exterior.
Steps shall not exceed a maximum height of 230 mm and should not exceed a height of 200 mm and shall
have a depth of ≥ 210 mm. If more than one step is used, the height of each step shall be identical. If there
are two or more steps, a handhold (e.g. a handrail or a single handle) shall be provided.
If there is a difference between the floor surface level of the cab and the passenger area level, it should
not exceed 30 mm. This is not considered as a step.
If steps are provided, the first and the last step inside the cab shall be indicated by a yellow or yellow-
black band with a minimum width of 25 mm along the useable width of the steps on the top surfaces of
the nosing line. The yellow colour is defined in ISO 3864-4.
NOTE First step means the first usable step when ascending and the edge of the walking floor when descending.

External glazing of cab windows shall be in accordance with EN 15152 and internal glazing of the cab
shall be in accordance with EN 17530.
The design of the windscreen may be affected by CEN/TR 17420.
7.2 Operation of opening windows
Three types of windows are considered in this document:
— sliding horizontal;
— sliding vertical;
— hinged.
For all movable windows fitted in the cab, the operating force shall not be higher than 80 N when
operated with both hands and shall not be higher than 50 N otherwise.
Vertically and horizontal sliding windows shall not be capable of operating under their own weight or
with maximum acceleration/deceleration forces.
8 Emergency
8.1 Driver's cab emergency exits
8.1.1 General
Driver's cab emergency exit and emergency exit clearance shall comply with the requirements of
EN 45545-4:2013, 4.3.1.2.
8.1.2 Minimum escape route
The escape route shall have a minimum clearance of height 1 850 mm x width 430 mm (recommended
1 900 mm × 600 mm). This clearance is measured from the seat to the exit. The starting position is beside
the seat (driver has both feet on the cab floor and no part of the body still in touch with the seat). This
escape route and its floor shall be free of any obstruction. Steps and or thresholds are not considered as
an obstruction.
A cabinet below an emergency exit window is not considered as an obstruction.
8.1.3 Emergency exit opening
Driver’s cabs shall have at least one interior door. If there is any risk of obstruction (baggage, passengers),
the door should be of the swing type (opening outwards and inwards) or of the sliding type.
The emergency escape device shall always function for the opening of emergency exits, irrespective of
whether the exit is unlocked or locked. If a non-opening window is used as an emergency exit, an
emergency hammer shall be provided.
In order to prevent a contusion/injury risk for the hand, there shall be a minimum clearance of 40 mm
between the emergency escape device (like handle, push bar, …) and the surrounding objects in all
positions of the door and the emergency escape device.
When the door is open, the minimum escape route shall be respected, even when the emergency escape
device is in a normal (unpressed) position.

8.2 Emergency egress from seat
8.2.1 Seat design for escape
The driver's seat and the additional seat(s) in upright position shall not constitute an obstacle to escape
in case of emergency.
The driver's seat is not regarded as an obstacle, as long as the requirements of 8.1.2 can be achieved.
8.2.2 Escape from seat assessment criteria
Escape from the seat to a position beside the seat (both feet on the cab floor and no part of the body still
in touch with the seat) should be possible within 3 s after the requirement (e.g. a verbal command) to
leave the seat and it should be assessed with the following start conditions:
— at vehicle standstill;
— driver in driving and seated position (hand on the master controller);
— both feet of the driver on the foot rest;
— by a small seated person with body height in the range of 1,55 m to 1,65 m;
— with arm rests, if provided, in their functional position at the beginning of assessment.
Then this test should be repeated for a tall seated person with a body height in the range of 1,81 m to
1,91 m.
9 Layout
9.1 General
The layout of the cab shall consider the anthropometric data as set out in EN 16186-5:2021.

5 Access, egress and doors
5.1 General
5.1.1 External steps and handrails
For external steps and handrails, EN 16116-1 shall apply.
5.1.2 Access and security
Access to the driver’s cab shall be from the exterior via a direct external door, and/or through a door from
an adjacent compartment or area behind the cab.
These doors shall be designed to have an operational envelope that does not conflict with the envelope
of another cab access door.
The driver’s cab and its access shall be designed so that the staff are able to prevent the cab being accessed
by non-authorized persons, whether the cab is occupied or not. This requirement is deemed to be fulfilled
by a locking system.
An emergency escape device shall permit to open any cab door from inside the cab without using any tool
or key.
Egress and access to the driver’s cab shall be possible without any energy supply.
5.1.3 Door handles
Driver’s cab internal door handles which are intended to be operated from a standing position shall be
located at a height between 820 mm and 1 200 mm (distance between the rotation point of the handle
and the cab floor). The recommended value for the height of the door handles is 850 mm.
5.1.4 Threshold
The height of door threshold shall not be more than:
— 20 mm from the floor adjacent to the door, for interior doors;
— 60 mm from the floor adjacent to the door, for exterior doors.
5.1.5 Ergonomics
For interior handles in regular use at least 40 mm clearance to surrounding surfaces shall be provided.
5.1.6 External doors
External cab doors when opened shall not infringe the intended maximal construction gauge defined from
gauge rules of the vehicle.
Driver’s cab external doors shall have a rectangular-like shape with a minimum unobstructed passage of
1 850 mm (height) × 550 mm (width) in accordance with Figure 1 (recommended minimum 1
900 mm × 600 mm).
NOTE The width value is based on anthropometric data (shoulder breadth).

Cab external doors shall not open unintentionally. External cab doors should have at least two stable
positions: Fully opened and closed.
5.1.7 Internal doors giving access to the driver's cab
If internal doors lead directly to the passenger area, a device to observe this area from inside the cab shall
be provided, (e.g. by a spy hole or a transparent partition wall).
If direct view from passenger area into cab is possible, the driver should be able to prevent such view, e.g.
by blinds.
Internal doors shall have a rectangular-like minimum unobstructed passage height and width of 1
850 mm × 550 mm (recommended 1900 mm × 600 mm). Internal doors which are positioned left or
right of the vehicle's longitudinal axis and open in longitudinal direction may have a trapezium shaped

6 Floor and flooring
6.1 Floor surface criteria
Walkable flooring and steps shall be slip resistant.
This is deemed to be fulfilled by applying the requirements of CEN/TS 16165:2016, α (shod) ≥ 9°.
NOTE 1 CEN/TS 16165 is currently being converted into an EN.
For minimizing the tripping hazard, the walkable floor of the cab shall be level (with a tolerance of ± 2°).
Exceptions are allowed in the following areas:
— area up to a maximum of 25 mm from the walls;
— the space under the desk;
— the area adjacent to doors (if there is a step).
No irregularity on the walkable floor shall protrude by more than 2 mm.
Sealing plates of door frames (door thresholds) and maintenance openings are not considered as being a
floor irregularity, but shall not exceed 5 mm in height.
After application of a vertical load of 1300 N on a surface of 300 mm × 200 mm, no distortion of more
than 10 mm in direction of the load shall be observed in the walkable floor, over the whole flooring area.
This can be demonstrated by calculation or by test.
NOTE 2 No reference to EN 15663 is given, because the load is associated to the stiffness of the floor and not to
the load calculation for the vehicle.
6.2 Inclination, steps and slopes
The walkable floor of the driver's cab (access to the cab and foot rest excluded) shall be without any steps.
They are permitted between the cab and adjacent passenger area, as well as for accessing the cab from
the exterior.
Steps shall have a maximum height h of 250 mm and a depth of ≥ 210 mm. If more than one step is used
their height shall be identical. If there are two or more steps, a handhold (e.g. a handrail or a single handle)
should be provided.
7 Windows and glazing
7.1 Mechanical characteristics of glass
Glazing in cab windows shall be in accordance with EN 15152.
7.2 .Operation of opening windows
Three types of windows are considered in this standard:
— sliding horizontal;
— sliding vertical;
— hinged;
For all types of cab windows assembled but not mounted on the vehicle, the operating force shall not be
higher than 80 N (recommended value < 50 N).

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16186-8:2020
prEN 16186-8:2020 (E)
Vertically sliding windows shall not be capable of operating under their own weight.
8 Emergency
8.1 Driver's cab emergency exits
8.1.1 General
Driver's cab emergency exit and emergency exit clearance shall comply with the requirements of
EN 45545-4:2013, 4.3.1.2.
8.1.2 Minimum escape route
The escape route shall have a minimum clearance of height 1 850 mm x width 430 mm (if possible, width
should be 600 mm). This clearance is measured from the seat to the exit. The starting position is beside
the seat (driver has both feet on the cab floor and no part of the body still in touch with the seat). This
escape route and its floor shall be free of any obstruction. Steps are not considered as an obstruction.
8.1.3 Emergency exit opening
For opening emergency exits, no equipment shall be required with the exception of an emergency
hammer if a non-opening window is used as an emergency exit.
A cabinet below an emergency exit window is not considered as an obstruction.
Driver’s cabs should have at least one interior exit opening door. If there is any risk of obstruction
(baggage, passengers), the door should be of the swing type (opening outwards and/or inwards) or of
the sliding type.
The emergency escape device shall always function, irrespective of whether the door is unlocked or
locked.
In all positions of the door and the emergency escape device, there shall be a minimum clearance of
50 mm between the emergency escape device and surrounding objects in order to prevent a
contusion/injury risk for the hand.
When the door is open, the minimum escape route shall be respected, even when the emergency escape
device is in a normal (unpressed) position.
8.2 Emergency egress from seat
8.2.1 Seat design for escape
The driver's seat and the additional seat(s) in upright position shall not constitute an obstacle to escape
in case of emergency.
The driver's seat is not regarded as an obstacle, as long as the requirements of 5.4.2.2 can be achieved.
8.2.2 Escape from seat assessment criteria
Escape from the seat to a position beside the seat (both feet on the cab floor and no part of the body still
in touch with the seat) should be possible within 3 s after the requirement (e.g. a verbal command) to
leave the seat and it should be assessed with the following start conditions:
— at vehicle standstill;
— driver in driving and seated position (hand on the master controller);
— both feet of the driver on the foot rest;
10

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16186-8:2020
prEN 16186-8:2020 (E)
— by a small seated person with body height in the range of 1,55 m to 1,65 m;
— with arm rests, if provided, in their functional position at the beginning of assessment.
Then this test should be repeated for a tall seated person with a body height in the range of 1,81 m to
1,91 m.
9 Layout
9.1 General
The layout of the cab shall consider the anthropometric data as set out in prEN 16186-5:2019.
The cab should be designed in a way that it enables the driver to carry out his tasks efficiently and safely.
For all assessments, the driver is represented by the two driver dummies (see prEN 16186-5:2019).
The driver shall be able to operate all the driving controls (see prEN 16186-6:201X, definition 3.6) from
a normal driving position, according to the comfort angles defined in 6.3. The driver shall be able to
respect all the visibility requirements defined in prEN 16186-5:2019.
The anthropometric data defined in prEN 16186-5:2019 shall be used to define the arrangement of the
driver's seat to allow driving from a seated position.
9.2 Prevention of occupational injuries
9.2.1 General
In the accessible areas of the driver's cab, the internal fittings shall be designed to prevent occupational
injuries, e.g. by sharp edges, moving parts, protruding objects, etc.
Only exposed rigid edges which can be contacted by a 100 mm diameter sphere shall be considered.
Edges of components which are not directly exposed (for example sheet metal fabrications beneath
seats) shall be de-burred or chamfered to give smooth edge profiles.
9.2.2 Exposed edges
In differentiating between an external and an internal edge, where a panel edge fits up against
another element to form astep or a recess that edge shall be considered to be internal (for example
where rebated panel joints are used).
A rigid edge shall be considered to be one using material with a Shore A hardness greater than 50.
With the exception of glass edges, in the accessible areas of the driver's cab, there shall be no exposed
rigid external edges where the predominant radii (i.e. ignoring transition and blending radii) are less
than 3 mm or without a chamfer of at least 3 mm × 3 mm.
For exposed rigid external edges, where the edge projects not more than 3,2 mm from the adjacent
surfaces, the requirements for minimum radii shall not apply, provided that the height of the projection
is not more than half its width and its edges are blunted.
All exposed glass edges shall be arrissed or bevelled to give smooth edge profiles.
There is no restriction on the use of alternatives to the specified or recommended dimensions
where evidence of their suitability can be presented in terms of injury potential. The specified
dimensions may be used as the basis for comparison.
9.2.3 Formulae for exposed edge radii for obtuse included angles
Requirements or recommendations for minimum edge radii assume 90 degree external corners. In cases
where a minimum radius is specified and the included angle between surfaces is greater than 90 degrees,
11

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16186-8:2020

according to Table 1.

Key
α included angle between surfaces
Figure 3 — Examples of external edge radii for obtuse included angles
For external edges or corners which are partially exposed, only the parts of the edge surface that can be
contacted by a 100 mm diameter sphere are considered. The effective included angle for determining the
minimum edge radius shall be determined with a 100 mm diameter sphere positioned on the
adjacent lower surface or surfaces and taking the included angle between the tangent to the sphere at
the point of contact with the edge of the upper surface assuming there is no radius (See Figure 4).
NOTE Upper and lower surfaces are relative to the assumed direction of approach by the sphere.
