Description / Abstract:
This standard specifies baseline environmental conditions under
which transit rail car electronic equipment shall both operate
and/or survive. Special requirements anticipated for applications
that have environmental conditions outside these baseline
conditions are neither covered nor intended herein. Environmental
conditions include: temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure,
water, corrosive elements, and vibration/shock. These conditions
depend upon equipment location such as under car, interior, truck
mounted, and carbody mounted
Purpose
The purpose of the standard is to provide a baseline for
contract specifications, design and manufacture of electronic
equipment to be supplied for transit rail cars to eliminate
unnecessary variability in specifications, allowing manufacturers
to provide consistent product lines that can meet the needs of the
industry, save costs and improve reliability.
