1 Scope
This document specifies the functional, performance, and quality requirements for
the interior glazing of rail vehicles including type testing, routine testing, and inspection methods.
This document applies to all rail vehicles.
Determination of the size, shape, orientation and position of interior glazing is outside the scope of this document.
This document does not specify requirements for the interfaces between the interior
glazing and the vehicle. Accordingly, this document does not address issues relating to installation
and structural integrity.
This document does not apply to interior glazing with a surface less than 0,02 m 2 and also emergency device casings (e.g. cover sheets for emergency hammers, passenger
alarm systems, etc).
This document does not apply to materials other than glass.
For safety reasons, where the use of a specific type of glass is required, this shall
be set out in the technical specification or defined in national rules.
