DIN EN 15877-1:2024 - Standards for markings on railway vehicles: Our solution for maximum safety in rail freight transport

The updated DIN EN 15877-1:2024 standard defines specific marking standards for heavy rail freight wagons and plays a crucial role in the safety and efficiency of European rail freight transport. By standardizing the markings, it ensures that all relevant information on technical, operational and safety-related features is presented clearly and uniformly. The markings defined in the standard include safety symbols that draw the attention of maintenance and operating personnel to potential hazards.

A key point of this standard is the harmonization of safety-relevant symbols on the vehicles, especially those that are located in direct proximity to high-voltage lines and other potentially dangerous components. The standard fulfills the legal requirements in accordance with the European Directive (EU) 2016/797 on the interoperability of the rail system in the Community and is also aligned with the COTIF UTP GEN-A in the area of “Essential Requirements”.
