Applies to main line railway vehicles that carry passengers, but excludes suburban, metro, tramway vehicles and driving cabs.

This document is applicable to main line railway vehicles that carry passengers, but excludes suburban, metro, tramway vehicles and driving cabs. This document specifies the comfort parameter measurement methods for compartments or saloons (double-decker or not). The comfort parameters and their tolerances referred to in this document are defined in EN 13129-1.
