scope:

This European Standard specifies the criteria for system acceptance and type approval of a wheel slide protection (WSP) system. It also specifies criteria for the implementation of WSP to specific vehicle applications and specific operating conditions, as well as requirements for wheel rotation monitoring (WRM). This includes the design, testing and quality assessment of the WSP and WRM systems and their components. This European Standard is not intended to be used to determine the stopping performance of a WSP equipped train under all environmental conditions.
