(3) In clause 4.2.4 ‘Regenerative braking’, the second paragraph is replaced by the following:
‘DC power supply systems are not required to be designed to permit the use of regenerative braking as a service brake’.
(4) In clause 4.2.6 ‘External electromagnetic compatibility’, the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
‘External electromagnetic compatibility is not a specific characteristic of the trans-European high-speed rail network. Energy supply installations shall comply with EN 50121-2:2006 to meet all requirements concerning electromagnetic compatibility’.
(5) In clause 4.2.9.2 ‘Geometry of overhead contact line’, the fourth paragraph is deleted.
(6) In clause 4.2.10 ‘Compliance of the overhead contact line system with infrastructure gauge’ the first paragraph is replaced by the following:

(7) In clause 4.2.15 ‘Mean contact force’ the seventh paragraph is replaced by the following:
‘New lines may additionally permit the use of Pantographs following C1 or C2 curves. Existing lines may require the use of pantographs following curves C1 or C2’.
(8) In clause 4.2.20 ‘Current capacity, DC systems, trains at standstill’, the fourth paragraph is replaced by:
‘Conformity assessment shall be carried out in accordance with EN 50367:2006, Annex A.4.1’.
(9) Clause 4.2.21 ‘Phase separation sections’ is amended as follows:
(a) the second paragraph is replaced by the following:
‘Adequate means shall be provided to allow a train that is stopped within the phase separation section to be restarted. The neutral section shall be connectable to the adjacent sections by remotely controlled disconnectors’.
(b) in subclause ‘Lines of category II and III’:
(i) the second paragraph is replaced by the following
‘For category II and III lines, separation sections as specified for category I lines or a design according to Figure 4.2.21 may be adopted. In the case of Figure 4.2.21, the centre section shall be connected to the current return path, the neutral sections (d) may be formed by neutral section insulators and the dimensions shall be as follows:’
(ii) the fifth paragraph is deleted.
(10) In clause 4.2.22.1 the third paragraph is replaced by the following:
‘The neighbouring Infrastructure Managers shall agree either point (a) or point (b) according to the prevailing circumstances’.
(11) In clause 4.2.23 ‘Electrical Protection Coordination Arrangements’ the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
‘Electrical protection coordination design of the Energy subsystem shall comply with the requirements detailed in EN 50388:2005, clause 11’.
(12) Clause 4.2.25 is replaced by the following:
‘4.2.25.
Harmonics and Dynamic Effects
The High Speed Energy subsystem shall withstand overvoltages generated by rolling stock harmonics up to the limits stated in EN 50388:2005 clause 10.4 for AC supply. Conformity assessment shall consist of a compatibility study that demonstrates that the subsystem element can withstand harmonics up to the defined limits according to EN 50388:2005, clause 10. Conformity assessment shall be conducted according to EN 50388:2005 clause 10’.
(13) Section 4.8 is replaced by the following:
‘4.8.
Register of infrastructure and European register of authorised types of vehicles
The data to be provided for the register provided for in Article 35 of Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council are those indicated in Commission Implementing Decision 2011/633/EU of 15 September 2011 on the common specifications of the register of railway infrastructure.’.
(14) In clause 6.2.2.1 ‘General’, the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
‘For the assessment procedure of the Energy subsystem the Contracting Entity or its authorised representative established within the Union may choose either:

the full quality management system with design examination procedure (module SH2) indicated in Annex A.3 to this TSI.’.
(15) Annex D is deleted.
(16) Annex E is deleted.
