Introduction
In railway business, the customer very often requires, as part of a contract, technical documents in a certain
form. In order to support co-operation and effective exchange of information between customers, suppliers and
partners, it is necessary to have the document requirements precisely defined.
This document refers to EN, ISO or IEC standards dealing with parts lists. In cases where ISO or IEC standards
are not sufficiently precise, this standard gives specific details. These additions to ISO and IEC standards
facilitate the exploitation and the administration of the parts lists.
These additions have been drawn up to accommodate:
— the large variety of users;
— ease of transfer of documents;
— any specific series of documentation related to the railway material they define.
Special consideration has been given to those producing drawings by computer and their reproduction without
loss of quality.
1 Scope
This document specifies the preparation and reproduction of design parts.
This document defines the basic principles and structure of design parts lists.
This document is applicable to all design parts lists for railway applications.

5 Characteristic features of parts lists
5.1 General
A parts list can be presented as follows:
— as a separate document without drawing;
— as a separate document with relation to a drawing (separate parts list);
— entered on a drawing.
Any sheet of parts lists shall bear an identification number. When more sheets together form an entity, it shall
be clearly indicated on the first sheet which and how many sheets form the entity.
All pages of the parts list should correspond with the specimen shown in Annex B.
Requirements for copying and scanning are to be defined.
5.2 Base
Parts list as a separate document shall preferably be printed on white paper with a minimum weight of 70 g/m .
In case of entering parts lists on drawing sheets, see EN 15016-1.
5.3 Size
Separate parts lists shall be to A4 size in accordance with EN ISO 216:2007, series A.
5.4 Border
The border is shown in Annex B.
5.5 Centring marks
Reference marks for centring required for the adjustment of the position of the parts list on the setting plane of
the photographic copying device, appear in the margin at the locations defined in Annex B.
5.6 Characteristics of lines and entries
5.6.1 Optical density
All lines and entries including those added during revision should have a contrast of at least 0,7 with respect to
base according to EN ISO 6428.
5.6.2 Line wideness of separate parts lists
Printed parts lists shall fulfil the same requirements as parts lists on drawings for scanning suitability. For
fulfilling these requirements, it is recommended to use line wideness according to Table 1.
Table 1 — Line widenesses
Wideness
(mm)
Borderlines 0,7
Main lines 0,35
Other lines 0,25
5.6.3 Characteristics of lettering
Separate parts lists shall be printed with lettering having height between 2,3 mm and 2,6 mm and a width of
2,5 mm to ensure scanning legibility. The line and character spacing shall be in accordance with ISO 4882.
Entries in parts list on drawings shall be in accordance with EN 15016-1.
6 Specification
6.1 Title block
A title block, intended for taking the necessary headings for identification and use, shall appear on all parts lists.
It is recommended to use the same title block format on all pages of the parts list. It is permissible to use a
reduced version on the pages following page 1; this block shall as a minimum have the same identification zone
as shown in Annex A.
The mandatory requirements of the title block are defined in Annex A.
6.2 Copyright and exploitation right
The designation shall be in accordance with ISO 16016. Exploitation rights shall be declared. The name of the
legal owner or the creator of the parts list shall be written in the title block. Information concerning the
copyright can be added outside the parts list frame (see Annex B and Annex C).
Information concerning exploitation right is given in the parts list field.
6.3 Intellectual property
The designation shall be in accordance with ISO 16016. Property rights should be positioned at an appropriate
place outside the title block and/or in the parts list.
6.4 Columns and lines
The parts list consists of eight columns for the entry of various data describing the items required for analysis
and interpretation of the drawing.
The columns are separated from each other by a continuous line of at least 0,35 mm wideness.
The layout of separate parts list is given in Annex B.
6.5 Data fields
6.5.1 General
The data fields of the parts lists are given in Table 2 (see also Annex B).

The naming of the fields in EN 15016-4 differs partly from the naming in EN 15016-2, because of the
different use (for data model). Instead of harmonizing the names, a reference is made to the corresponding
fields in EN 15016-4. The reference consists of < Data Table > - < Field Number > or < Appendix
Table > - < Field number > as defined in EN 15016-4:2023, Annex A.
6.5.2 Entries in the part list
First the product has to be listed as it is designated in the title block of the parts list without the position number.
Drawings and other documents (e.g. check instructions, circuit diagrams, etc.) have to be entered immediately
under these entries.
For appropriate drawings and other documents which are indicated immediately under the related item the
item reference number remains empty.

6.5.3 Position number
Identical parts shown in the same assembly should have the same position number.
The position number is a number which is added as a serial characteristic to objects listed in parts lists and
shown on drawings. The position number shall be rising graded.
If a revision causes an item to be removed from a parts list, the remaining items retain their position numbers,
thus reducing the need to revise the drawing and other associat
