Division 3.2.5 Technical Compatibility

Technical compatibility includes the functions, interfaces and performances required to achieve interoperability.

The requirements of technical compatibility are subdivided in the following three 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 Chapter.

• The second category describes how the Control-Command Subsystem has to be applied and what functions it has to perform in order that interoperability is achieved. This category is defined in Chapter 4.

• The third category describes how the Control-Command Subsystem has to be operated in order that interoperability is achieved. This category is defined in Chapter 4.
