RAILWAY APPLICATIONS –
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT USED ON ROLLING STOCK
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
(standards.iteh.ai)
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation ofIEC 60571:2012
conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
5702caf6c201/iec-60571-2012
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60571 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 9: Electrical
equipment and systems for railways.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition issued in 1998 and its amendment 1
(2006). It constitutes a technical revision.
The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
a) In 4.1.2, Table 1 has been modified according to IEC 62498-1. Additional explanation about
the aim of this table is mentioned as notes.
b) In 5.1.1.1, “32 V”, ”36 V”, “64 V” and “87 V” have been added as the nominal voltage of
equipment according to IEC 60077-1.
c) In 5.3 and 5.5.7.2.1 (Figure 1), the word “interference” has been replaced by “disturbance”
that is more appropriate because “disturbance” is the cause of “interference”.
d) In 12.2.7, “max” of the test waveform duration D has been replaced by “min” in the table in
Figure 2. Specifying “min” can be expected to derive the duration time D longer than 1 s but
quite near 1,0 s in almost all actual business case. On the other hand, specifying “max”
may cause unnecessarily shorter D than 1,0 s.
60571 © IEC:2012 –7–
e) In 5.1.1.2, “0,7 U n” has been changed to “k U n” and some examples for Nickel-cadmium
battery and Lead-acid battery are given as NOTE.
f) Subclause 12.2.9, Radio frequency test, has been divided into 12.2.9.1, Radio frequency
immunity test, and 12.2.9.2, Radio frequency-emission test.
The text of this standard is originally based on EN 50155. It was submitted to the National
Committees for voting under the Fast Track Procedure.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting

9/1711/FDIS 9/1735/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed, iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW

• withdrawn,

RAILWAY APPLICATIONS –
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT USED ON ROLLING STOCK
1 Scope
This International Standard applies to all electronic equipment for control, regulation, protection,
supply, etc., installed on rail vehicles and associated with:
– either the accumulator battery of the vehicle;

– or a low voltage power supply source with or without a direct connection to the contact
system (transformer, potentiometer device, auxiliary supply);
with the exception of electronic power circuits, which conform to IEC 61287-1.
This standard covers the conditions of operation, design, construction, and testing of electronic
equipment, as well as basic hardware and software requirements considered necessary for
competent, reliable equipment.
Additional requirements in other standards or individual specifications may complement this

standard, if they are justified.
Specific requirements related to practices necessary to ensure defined levels of functional
(standards.iteh.ai)
safety are determined in accordance with 4.6.3.1 and 4.6.3.2 of IEC 62278 and its informative
Annex A.
IEC 60571:2012
Software safety integrity level of 1 or higher shall only be considered when it is shown that a
residual safety risk remains and that it has to be carried by the software driven programmable
5702caf6c201/iec-60571-2012
electronic system. In such a case (i.e. software safety integrity level 1 or higher), IEC 62279 is
applicable.
For the purpose of this standard, electronic equipment is defined as equipment mainly
composed of semiconductor devices and recognized associated components. These
components will mainly be mounted on printed boards.
NOTE Sensors (current, voltage, speed, etc.) and firing unit printed board assemblies for power electronic devices
are covered by this standard. Complete firing units are covered by IEC 61287-1.

surge
non-periodic and relatively short positive or negative (or both) variable (voltage or current)
between two steady states
Note 1 to entry: It may be produced by the normal operation of equipment within the vehicle, caused generally by
the discharge of energy when inductive circuits are switched.
It may be present either on the control system voltage supply, or on wiring connected directly to switched inductive
circuits, or coupled electrostatically or electromagnetically from such wiring into other wiring.
The effective value of the source impedance of a transient will depend upon the manner of its generation and
coupling.

4 Environmental service conditions of operation
4.1 Normal service conditions
4.1.1 Altitude
The altitude at which the equipment is normally to function does not exceed the values called
for in IEC 62498-1:2010, 4.2. When it exceeds this figure, compliance with the requirements
shall be defined by agreement between user and manufacturer.
4.1.2 Ambient temperature
Electronic equipment shall be designed and manufactured to meet the full performance
specification requirement for the selected temperature categories as stated in Table 1.
The design shall take into account temperature rises within cubicles to ensure that the
components do not exceed their specified temperature ratings.
In addition, the equipment shall meet the special short-term start up thermal conditions as
stated in column 3.

NOTE 1 The differences between this Table 1 (column 2) and IEC 62498-1:2010 Table 2 (column 3) are mainly
due to the following reasons:
IEC 62498-1 refers to a general application, where cubicles are provided without any particular thermal design.
In electronic equipment, a thermal design is usually needed, to guarantee a convenient minimum and maximum
ambient temperature for the electronic components. The values given for the maximum temperatures inside the
cubicle has been restricted to a choice of two to allow manufacturers to have only two classes of cards.
NOTE 2 This value may become as high as a level that some agreement between user and manufacturer may be
necessary considering the effect of high temperature to the life and reliability of parts and to the cost of the
thermal design.
For peripheral units (measuring transducers, etc.), or if the equipment is in a decentralized

configuration, then if the above ambient temperature ranges are exceeded, the actual
temperatures occurring at the location of the equipment concerned shall be used in the design.
Rapid external ambient temperature variations resulting from running through tunnels shall be
taken into account. For this purpose the rate of change of external temperature shall be
assumed to be 3 °C/s, with a maximum variation of 40 °C.
60571 © IEC:2012 – 13 –
4.1.3 Shock and vibration
The equipment shall be able to withstand, without deterioration or malfunction, vibrations and
shocks that occur in service.
In order to provide some reasonable degree of confidence that it will survive the specified
useful life under service conditions, it shall be capable of meeting the vibration, shock and
bump test as described in 12.2.12.
For these purposes the equipment is specified as having the electronic units installed complete,
and supported in their designed fixings, with anti-vibration mounts where fitted.
For the typical values of shocks and vibrations in real service, reference is made to IEC 61373.
4.1.4 Relative humidity
Refer to Table 2 of IEC 62498-1:2010 with regarding the relative humidity ranges for the
temperature classes T1 to TX as basis of design of the equipment.
The equipment shall be designed for the following humidity stresses (limit values) over the
relevant range of the external ambient temperature as defined in 4.1.2:
– yearly average ≤ 75 % relative humidity,

– 30 consecutive days in the year: 95 % relative humidity.
In addition, any moisture condensation shall not lead to any malfunction or failure.
(standards.iteh.ai)
For peripheral units (measuring transducers, etc.), or if the equipment is in a decentralized
configuration, then if the above humidity IEC stresses are exceeded, the actual humidity occurring
60571:2012
at the location of thehttps://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/3cf67bb9-522e-4a0f-a288-
equipment concerned shall be used in the design.
5702caf6c201/iec-60571-2012
4.2 Special service conditions
4.2.1 General
Special arrangements shall be agreed between the appropriate parties involved when service
conditions can be proved to be different from those mentioned in 4.1 (e.g. electronic equipment
mounted on the bogie or integrated within a power converter, etc.). Checks for the
effectiveness of such arrangements can, if required, form the subject of optional type tests
which can be carried out on the vehicle itself in accordance with methods to be agreed
between user and manufacturer.
4.2.2 Atmospheric pollutants
The equipment may be expected to be exposed throughout its life to various pollutants (e.g. oil
mist, salt spray, conductive dust, sulphur dioxide.). The types of pollutants and their
concentration should be defined in the tender documents.

5.1 Power supply
5.1.1 Supply from accumulator battery
5.1.1.1 General
The nominal voltage of equipment (U n) so supplied shall be selected from amongst the
following values:
