# 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 7.4.2: Boundary characteristics linked to exterior noise (BP17)

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

It is recommended that in the case of rolling stock to be ordered after 1 January 2005 or to be put into service after 1 January 2008, Section 4.1.8 of this TSI is applied with a reduction of 2 dB(A) at a speed of 250 km/h and 3 dB at speeds of 300 km/h and 320 km/h. In the case of 350 km/h, a reduction of 3 dB(A) should be striven towards.
This recommendation will serve as a basis for revising Section 4.1.8. in the context of the TSI revision process.
