• General environmental rules for the equipment of railway vehicles, especially for the main subsystems.

The defined environmental conditions are considered normal in service; sometimes more severe conditions may be specified. The microclimates surrounding the components can be defined by relevant product standards or special requirements. This standard is not intended to apply to cranes, mining vehicles, ropeways. Passenger effects on equipment and equipment effects on passengers are not considered in this standard.

The severity levels indicated are those that are less likely to be exceeded. All values ​​specified are maximum or limiting values. These values ​​are achievable, but do not occur permanently. Depending on the situation, there may be different frequencies of occurrence for a given period of time. Such occurrence frequencies are not included in this standard, but should be considered for any environmental parameter. If any, they should also be specified.
