Scope

This document specifies the emission limits and immunity requirements for all types of rolling stock. It covers traction stock, hauled stock and trainsets including urban vehicles for use in city streets.
The scope of this part of the standard ends at the interface of the rolling stock with its respective energy inputs and outputs. In the case of locomotives, trainsets, trams etc., this is the current collector (pantograph, shoe gear). In the case of hauled stock, this is the AC or DC auxiliary power connector. However, since the current collector is part of the traction stock, it is not entirely possible to exclude the effects of this interface with the power supply line. The slow moving test has been designed to minimize these effects.
The frequency range from 150 kHz to 1 GHz is considered sufficient to protect the environment in the whole frequency range from 0 Hz (DC) to 400 GHz. For demonstration of compatibility in this document only measurements at the specified frequencies are required.
