Revision Standard - Active.
A set of uniform design, application, and test requirements for electrical and electronic control apparatus on rail vehicles is provided in this standard.

This standard prescribes design, application, and test requirements for electrical and electronic control apparatus on rail vehicles. NOTE--This standard covers neither rotating equipment nor the functional aspects of converters.
This standard is intended to provide a set of uniform design, application, and test requirements for electrical and electronic control apparatus on rail vehicles. These requirements are the minimum necessary for suitability for use in a rail vehicle environment. Use of this standard should lead to enhanced levels of safety and reliability, and lower acquisition and maintenance costs.
