scope:

This document specifies the conformity assessment arrangements for newly manufactured EMS installed on a traction unit. This includes the integration conformity assessment and installation conformity assessment. In addition, this document also specifies the conformity assessment procedures for device and ancillary component replacement (e.g. due to damage in service), and periodical check to verify the EMS conformity assessment remains valid and confirming metrological properties so that the EMS can continue to be used. EN 50463-5 does not include elements related to conformity assessment aspects other than design review and testing provisions for the products, processes or services specified. Consequently EN 50463-5 does not delete, change or interpret the general requirements for conformity assessment procedures and vocabulary detailed in EN/ISO/IEC 17000. EN 50463-5 does not cover the conformity assessment schemes that, according to CENELEC Internal Regulations, are the responsibility of ISO policy committee "Committee on conformity assessment" (ISO/CASCO) This document assigns conformity assessments activities to entities using the terms integrator, installer and assessor, it does not specify the degree of independence of these entities (i.e. first, second, or third party) as this aspect is outside the scope of this document.
