EUREMCO: European Railway Electromagnetic Compatibility

The TSIs provide common regulations for the placing in service of rail vehicles. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) between rail vehicles and signalling equipment from infrastructure represents a major cost driver in the authorisation process. Each country in Europe has developed its own requirements and assessment process. Eighteen partners from the sector have come together to undertake the work on cross accepted test procedures for track circuits within the project. The project’s objective is to harmonise and reduce the certification process of rail vehicles against EMC. The main concept of the project is to specify the conditions for cross-accepted certification around Europe, through sound scientific methodologies allowing for the identification of the “transfer functions” to be applied to results obtained on different test tracks in different countries, for the same power supply system. By closing the corresponding “open points” in the TSIs, the project will lead to a time and cost reduction of the certification process of rail vehicles against EMC issues.
