ICS 45.060 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "Railway rolling stock". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 1543 standards classified under ICS 45.060 (Railway rolling stock). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

This document establishes definitions and evaluation methods for the following wheel-rail contact geometry parameters influencing the vehicle running dynamic behaviour: the rolling radius difference between the two wheels of a wheelset (Δr-function) which serves as a basis for all further calculations; the equivalent conicity function from which are derived: a single equivalent conicity value for a specified amplitude, which is relevant for the assessment of vehicle running stability on straight track and in very large radius curves; the nonlinearity parameter, which characterizes the shape of this function and is related to the vehicle behaviour, particularly in the speed range close to the running stability limit; the rolling radii coefficient, which is used to describe the theoretical radial steering capability of a wheelset in a curved track. Additional information is given about the relationship between the contact angles of the two wheels of a wheelset (Δtanγ-function) and about the roll angle parameter. NOTE Out of the presented parameters only those related to the contact angle are relevant for independently rotating wheels of wheel pairs. Descriptions of possible calculation methods are included in this document. Test case calculations are provided to achieve comparable results and to check the proper implementation of the described algorithms. To validate alternative methods not described in this document, acceptance criteria are given for the equivalent conicity function. This includes reference profiles, profile combinations, tolerances and reference results with tolerance limits. This document also includes minimum requirements for the measurement of wheel and rail profiles as well as of the parameters needed for the transformation into a common coordinate system of right-hand and left-hand profiles. This document does not define limits for the wheel-rail contact geometry parameters and gives no tolerances for the rail profile and the wheel profile to achieve acceptable results. For the application of this document some general recommendations are given.

This document describes the specific ‘Design for PRM use’ requirements applying to both infrastructure and rolling stock and the assessment of those requirements. The following applies to this document:
- The definitions and requirements describe specific aspects of ‘Design for PRM use’ required by persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility as defined in the PRM TSI.
- This document defines elements which are universally valid for obstacle free travelling including lighting, contrast, tactile feedback, transmission of visual and acoustic information. The definitions and requirements of this document cover the infrastructure and the rolling stock applications.
- This document only refers to aspects of accessibility for PRM passengers; it does not define non PRM related requirements and definitions.
- This document assumes that the infrastructure or rolling stock is in its defined operating condition.
- Where minimum or maximum dimensions are quoted these are absolute NOT nominal.

This document specifies measurement methods and conditions to obtain reproducible and comparable exterior noise emission levels and spectra for all kinds of vehicles operating on rails or other types of fixed track, hereinafter conventionally called “unit”.
This document is applicable to type testing of units.
It provides measurement procedures for vehicle exterior noise (in general, a vehicle type test is carried out using only a selected subset of these tests):
— when the vehicle is moving at constant speed;
— when the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating;
— when the vehicle is stationary in different operating conditions.
It does not include all the instructions to characterize the noise emission of the infrastructure related sources (bridges, crossings, switching, impact noise, curving noise, etc.).
This document does not apply to
— the noise emission of track maintenance units while working,
— environmental impact assessment (collection of data to be used in a prediction method for environmental assessment),
— noise immission assessment,
— guided buses, and
— warning signal noise.
The results can be used, for example
— to characterize the exterior noise emitted by units,
— to compare the noise emission of various units on a particular track section, and
— to collect basic source data for units.
NOTE Additional guidance is provided in Annex E for measurements in the specific case of urban rail vehicles.

IEC 63341-1:2025 applies to fuel cell power systems installed onboard rolling stock for railway applications (e.g. light rail vehicles, tramways, streetcars, metros, commuter trains, regional trains, high speed trains, locomotives). Fuel cell power systems specified in this document are used for the traction power and the auxiliary supply of railway vehicles such as hybrid vehicles, and in case of use as an auxiliary onboard power source. This document applies to the fuel cell technology called proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), with the use of hydrogen as fuel source and the use of air as oxidant source. This document does not apply for hydrogen fuel system which is specified in IEC 63341-2, as HFS is not within the scope of this document. This document does not apply for power conversion equipment which is specified in IEC 61287-1 and is not within the scope this document.
This document specifies:
- the scope of supply and the description of the interfaces (fluidic, electrical, thermal and mechanical) of the fuel cell power system;
- the description of the environmental conditions;
- the specification and description of all the requirements to ensure the fuel cell power system conformance with a railway application;
- the process to validate the fuel cell power system sizing required for a specific load profile;
- the safety, reliability and protection requirements to design the fuel cell power system for a railway application;
- the marking and labelling requirements;
- the requirements related to storage, transportation, installation and maintenance;
- the tests (type, routine and investigation) required to validate the fuel cell power system.
