Division 3.2.5 TECHNICAL COMPATIBILITY

Technical compatibility includes the functions, interfaces and performances required to achieve interoperability. In order to fulfil this essential requirement and achieve interoperability, the requirements of section 4 of this TSI must be met in full.

The requirements of technical compatibility are therefore presented in two categories:

• the first category sets out the general engineering requirements for interoperability, that is environmental conditions, internal electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) within the railway boundaries, and installation. These compatibility requirements are defined in this section;

• the second category describes what the control-command subsystem has to do in order that interoperability is achieved. This category forms the major part of this interoperability specification.
