11/09/2024

Recently published, the standard UNE-EN 17343 provides terms and definitions for rail networks and rail vehicles guided by track and wheels, both made of steel and/or other materials. This includes heavy rail and urban rail systems.
This document is a reference for future European standards and reviews of existing standards.
Compared to its previous edition of 2021, which it cancels and replaces, it introduces the following technical modifications:
- Notes improvement and deletion
- Improved definitions
- Add terms related to rolling stock and infrastructure, as well as general terms.
- Adapts the structure of the terms due to the added terms.
- Adapts the order of the terms related to the rolling stock.
- Table A2 is expanded to present the use of the terms of heavy rail and/or urban rail systems.
- Extension of Appendix B with additional terms, which becomes a Regulatory Annex.
