Division 6.2.2.3.2 Track-side Assembly Validation

For a Track-side Assembly the validation under full operational conditions shall be performed by means of test runs of a rolling stock of known characteristics and shall have the scope to verify compatibility between rolling stock and Control-Command Track-side Assembly (e.g. EMC aspects, operation of track circuits and axle counters). Such test runs shall be performed with suitable rolling stock of known characteristics allowing for verifications in conditions that may occur during service (e.g., train speed, traction power).

Test runs shall also validate the compatibility of the information provided to the train driver by the Track-side Assembly with the physical route (e.g. speed limits, etc.).

If specifications that are foreseen by, but not yet available in, this TSI for the verification of a Track-side Assembly, the Track-side Assembly shall be validated by appropriate field tests (to be defined by the contracting entity of this Track-side Assembly).

F1In case there are limitations to a general applicability of the results of the tests (e.g. TSI compliance proven only up to a certain speed), these limitations shall be recorded in the certificate.
