# Commission Decision of 30 May 2002 concerning the technical specification for interoperability relating to the rolling stock subsystem of the trans-European high-speed rail system referred to in Article 6(1) of Directive 96/48/EC (notified under document number C(2002) 1952) (Text with EEA relevance) (2002/735/EC), Division 2.1: SUBSYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

‘The characteristics of the rolling stock must be such as to allow it to travel on any line on which it is expected to operate. (Council Directive 96/48/EC, Annex III, essential requirement 2.4.3)’.
Trains that meet the technical requirements stated in this TSI are able to serve the lines mentioned in Annex I(1)b to Directive 96/48/EC.
The rolling stock subsystem does not include the control-command, operation or power supply subsystems since these subsystems are specified in their own TSIs.
In addition, rolling stock does not include the train staff (driver and other on-board train crew).
The rolling stock shall fulfil the following functions:
carry and protect the passengers and train crew
accelerate, maintain speed, brake and stop
keep the train driver informed, provide a view ahead, and allow proper control
support and guide the train on the track
signal the presence of the train to others
function safely even in the event of incidents
respect the environment.
