BS EN 50463 is a European standard that discusses railway applications. BS EN 50463-5 provides the best industry guidance on conformity assessment on energy measurement on board trains.
BS EN 50463-5 is the fifth part of a multi-part series that specifies the conformity assessment arrangements for newly manufactured EMS installed on a traction unit.
BS EN 50463-5 includes the integration conformity assessment and installation conformity assessment.
In addition, BS EN 50463-5 also specifies the conformity assessment procedures for device and ancillary component replacement (e.g., due to damage in service), and periodic check to verify the EMS conformity assessment remains valid.
Note 1: BS EN 50463-5 does not include elements related to conformity assessment aspects other than design review and testing provisions for the products, processes, or services specified. Consequently, BS EN 50463-5 does not delete, change, or interpret the general requirements for conformity assessment procedures and vocabulary detailed in EN/ISO/IEC 17000.
Note 2: BS EN 50463-5 does not cover the conformity assessment schemes that, according to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, are the responsibility of the ISO policy committee “Committee on conformity assessment” (ISO/CASCO).
BS EN 50463-5 on conformity assessment for energy measurement on board trains is useful for:
EMS installation is an installation of an EMS equipment type into a traction unit of a specified type. EMS integration of devices, interconnections, and ancillary components, forming a specific EMS equipment type. Conformity Assessment File (CAF) folder holding all documentation produced during conformity assessment is a demonstration that specified requirements are fulfilled.
BS EN 50463-5 guideline assists you with Conformity assessment approach, EMS Specific Methodology, Conformity assessment procedures, EMS integration type test, EMS installation design review, EMS Installation type test, EMS installation routine test, Periodic re-verification, Replacement of devices, and ancillary components for conformity assessment for energy measurement on board trains.
With compliance and obedience of BS EN 50463-5, you can adopt appropriate requirements and methods for conformity assessment for energy measurement on board trains and obtain reliable results.
BS EN 50463-5:2017 supersedes EN 50463-5:2012, which is withdrawn. BS EN 50463-5:2017 has updated the introduction to keep consistency in the five parts of the revised version of the EN 50463 series compared to EN 50463-5:2012.
