SR EN 50355:2004

This European Standard gives guidance in the safe use of rolling stock cables specified in EN 50264 and EN 50306. NOTE EN 50355 will be extended in future to cover also EN 50382, which is currently under preparation. These cables should only be used for the wiring of railway rolling stock and within the limits given in the manner described in this European Standard. All these cables are for fixed installation where there is no free movement of cable, except for stresses due to typical service. This European Standard is to be applied in conjunction with the relevant product and installation standards. Stricter requirements than those given in this standard could be necessary; see in particular EN 50343. This European Standard is not applicable to - intercarriage jumpers, - cables subject to continual flexing, - pantograph cables, - coaxial and fibre optic cables, - wire wrap, - cables rated at voltages greater than 3,6/6 kV, - national types, - applications other than the cabling of railway rolling stock. Legal or statutory requirements do take precedence over the guidance give
