This European Standard applies to distributor valves and distributor-isolating devices.
The distributor valves contained in this European Standard are of graduated release type. Direct release types
are not included.
Functionally they are regarded as not containing relay valves of any type, even if the relay valves are
physically an integral part of the distributor valves.
This European Standard applies to both distributor-isolating devices mounted separate from the distributor
valve and distributor-isolating devices integral with the distributor valve.
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design, testing and quality assurance of distributor
valves and distributor-isolating devices.
For interoperable freight wagons, these devices which are operated by compressed air according to EN 14198
are assessed according to the respective technical specification of interoperability.
