Foreword
This Norm incorporates results from the original work (“Eurobalise FFFS”) carried out by the EUROSIG Consortium
1 under the financial support of the European Commission (Eurobalise/Euroloop Project -’92/94’,
ERTMS/Eurosig Project -‘95/98’, and EMSET Project -‘96/00’), and in close co-operation with technical bodies
of the UIC 2 and of the EEIG ERTMS User Group 3 . The EUROSIG specifications were subsequently updated
by the UNISIG Consortium 4 in consideration of further technical work in development and test areas.
The main body of Part 2 of this Norm, and the relevant Annexes designated as “normative”, constitute the mandatory
requirements for test methods and tools for verification of compliance with the mandatory requirements
of Part 1. Annexes designated as “informative”, either provide background information, or outline nonmandatory
requirements and optional features.
