DIN 27203-9:2012-09

Wear, failures and other damage influence the operational safety of railway vehicles. Depending on the wear characteristics, application parameters and the current state of the railway vehicles and the cost effectiveness, a maintenance system shall be specified by which it is ensured that the necessary technical target state is maintained. The general field of application of the standard DIN 27203-9 is specified in DIN 27200:2011-11, clause 1 and subclause 3.1. This standard applies to emergency exit windows of a) passenger vehicles; b) railcars; c) multiple unit trains. The figures of this standard have an exemplary character. This standard shall be used analogously for railway vehicles with deviating types of construction. The emergency exit and emergency release are contained in the door standards DIN 27203-1 to DIN 27203-7. This standard has been prepared by Subcommittee NA 087-00-15-03 UA "Fahrgastraum" ("Passenger area") of Working Committee NA 087-00-15 AA "Zustand der Eisenbahnfahrzeuge" ("State of railway vehicles") of the Railway Standardization Committee (FSF), in coordination with other working committees of the FSF and the German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies (DKE). The standards of the complete works "State of railway vehicles" represent a uniform and system-compatible normative document which specifies the limit state for the safe operation and processes to maintain the target state of standard gauge railway vehicles. All documents of the complete works are listed in DIN 27200, Supplement 1.
