Stricter limits on wireless emission and immunity due to onboard Wi-Fi and cellular routing systems.
: Testing procedures for shock, vibration, and mechanical impact resistance.
Whether it's a locomotive control unit or a passenger Wi-Fi router, if it has a circuit board and goes on a train, it likely needs to meet the rigorous demands of this standard. Iec 60571.pdf
The global railway industry demands high reliability and safety. Electronic equipment used on rolling stock operates under harsh environmental and operational conditions. is the international standard that governs the design, manufacturing, and testing of these electronic systems.
The two standards are considered in many applications, but they are not identical. A key differentiator lies in their scope: EN 50155 explicitly references IEC 60571 for testing , while IEC 60571 references EN 50155 for mechanical shock and vibration requirements. They are designed to work together, not in competition. However, when they overlap, differences exist: Stricter limits on wireless emission and immunity due

In conclusion, is more than just a technical document—it is the key that unlocks the global railway market. Adhering to it is not optional; it is an engineering necessity for survival. For designers, it provides the definitive rulebook for creating electronics that won't fail. For operators, it ensures their trains will start in the harsh winter and brake safely in the summer heat. The global railway industry demands high reliability and
Given that the current third edition was published in 2012, the IEC's TC 9 (Electrical equipment and systems for railways) is actively working on a revision. A major driver for the update is the evolution of Ethernet-based train networks (like IEC 61375), cybersecurity threats, and the demand for higher-frequency EMC testing above 1 GHz. Professionals should consider the following when preparing for the next edition:
IEC 60571 applies to all electronic equipment that is . This includes:
