" This European Standard specifies the characteristics and the performance requirements of the Passenger Alarm System (PAS). The aim of the Passenger Alarm System is to: - allow passengers, in case of emergency situations, to inform the driver;-allow the driver to keep the train moving or to stop the train at a safe location;- stop the train automatically:a) at a platform,b) if there is no acknowledgement by the driver.This European Standard covers the PAS fitted to the passenger carrying rolling stock and specifies:- the functional requirements for an alarm triggered in the driving cab (Clause 6);- the communication channel between the driver and passengers or on-board staff (6.4)- the dynamic analysis of the PAS (Clause 7);- the requirements for the degraded modes management (Clause 8);- the safety related requirements (Clause 9);- requirements for the Passenger Alarm Device (PAD) and PAD area (Clause 10).This European Standard applies to mainline rolling stock, which is in the field of the EU Directive 2008/57/EC. This standard does not apply to metros, trams and light rail, as defined by the CEN/CENELEC Guide 26.Existing Passenger Alarm Systems may require modification to work in conjunction with vehicles that comply with this standard.NOTE 1 Most of the requirements of UIC 541-6 are compliant with this standard.Other communications systems such as "communication device for passengers", "call for aid", "emergency call" or "call for assistance" are covered by EN 16683."

This European Standard specifies requirements for the;- approval of training facilities, testing and maintaining the skills of aluminothermic welders and welding trainers. It applies to those aluminothermic welding processes compliant with the requirements of EN 14730-1. It requires that the system for training and testing of welders shall be approved by the railway authority.- approval of aluminothermic welding contractors. It applies to those contractors using aluminothermic welding processes compliant with the requirements of EN 14730-1 and who employ welders in the possession of a valid permit to weld as defined in section 4 of this standard.- acceptance of the final aluminothermic weld inspections and aluminothermic weld inspectors approved by the railway authority. It does not cover any previous weld inspections by the welder or others.The standard also applies to aluminothermic welds produced on Vignole railway rail 46 kg/m and above, as contained in EN 13674-1.

This device-specific standard specifies requirements for nasal cannulae used in both home-care and hospital environments for the administration of oxygen therapy.

This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal and/or yeasticidal and/or fungicidal activity of chemical disinfectant products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted with hard water – or in the case of ready-to-use products – with water. This European Standard applies to products that are used in the medical area for disinfecting non-porous surfaces without mechanical action. This European Standard applies to areas and situations where disinfection is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care, for example:in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in dental institutions;in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes;and may occur in the workplace and in the home. It may also include services such as laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patients.NOTE This method corresponds to a phase 2, step 2. test.EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to “use recommendations.

This document specifies the minimum requirements enabling patient involvement in health care services with the aim to create favourable structural conditions for person-centred care.It is intended to be used before, during and after the actual care provided by care personnel and to be available for use by the patient who is the recipient of the care.This document is also intended to be used on a strategic level for quality assurance and improvement, during procurement, education and supervision as well as to be used as a guiding document for research and development projects within intervention and implementation of person-centred care.

This document specifies requirements for the design and construction of metallic gravity-discharge tanks intended for the carriage of substances having a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa (1,1 bar) (absolute pressure) at 50 °C.NOTE 1 Gravity discharge tanks have no maximum working pressure. However, during operation, pressure in the shell may occur, for example due to flow restrictions in vapour recovery systems or opening pressures of breather devices. It is important that these operating pressures do not exceed the test pressure of the tank or 0,5 bar, whichever is the highest.This document specifies requirements for openings, closures, pipework, mountings for service equipment and structural equipment.NOTE 2 This document does not specify requirements for items of service equipment other than pipework.This document is applicable to aircraft refuelers that are used on public roads. It is also applicable to inter-modal tanks (e.g. tank containers and tank swap bodies) for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail.NOTE 3 This document is not applicable to fixed rail tank wagons.

This document specifies product characteristics for demountable stands at permanent or temporary entertainment venues including sports stadiums, sport halls and indoor and outdoor facilities. This document is not applicable to stands of a moveable type where last row of places for spectators is under 1 m height from the ground.NOTE It is recalled the attention to the fact that demountable stands used in Fairground and amusement park machinery and structures - Safety are covered by EN 13814.

This Standard specifies the defect management system the infrastructure manager uses to control the risk of severe accidents due to degradation of internal or surface defects on rails complying with EN 13674-1, EN 13674-2, EN 13674-4 and EN 15689 (excluding grooved rails EN 14811 - which need alternative systems).
