TC256 SC3 WG49 Glazing
Scope: DRAFT SCOPE: This working group deals with all kind of
glass intended for use in railway rolling stock. This includes glass
for windscreen and side windows as well as glass for partitions in
compartments. The working group will distinguish between
application for High Speed and Conventional Rail and all kind of
applications for Urban Rail. The intended approach is to use as
much as possible standards existing in other industries (e.g.
automotive), but identify relevant requirements and pass fail
criterias applicable for Railway applications. Emergency windows
are also in the scope of this Working Group
