This European Standard specifies the characteristics of the Passenger Alarm System. The aim of the Passenger Alarm System is to:

a) permit passengers in case of emergency situations to inform the driver;

b) permit the driver to keep the train moving or to stop the train at a safe location; c) stop the train automatically:

1) at a platform,

2) if there is no acknowledgement by the driver.

This European Standard covers the Passenger Alarm System (PAS) fitted to the passenger carrying rolling stock and specifies:

— the functional requirements for an alarm triggered in the driving cab (Clause 6);

— the communication channel between the driver and passengers or on-board staff (6.4);

— the dynamic analysis of the Passenger Alarm System (Clause 7);

— the requirements for the degraded modes management (Clause 8);

— the safety related requirements (Clause 9);

— requirements for the Passenger Alarm Device and Passenger Alarm Device area (Clause 10).

This European Standard is applicable to rolling stock which are in the field of the Directive 2008/57/EC.

NOTE 1 Existing Passenger Alarm Systems may require modification to work in conjunction with vehicles that comply with this standard.
