National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of

EN 15380-1:2006.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee
RAE/1, Railway applications, which has the responsibility to:
— aid enquirers to understand the text;
— present to the responsible international/European committee any
enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep UK
interests informed;
— monitor related international and European developments and
promulgate them in the UK.
A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on

request to its secretary.
This standard has been produced from Part 1 of the DIN 25002 series of
standards under the CEN fast-track procedure. The UK voted against the
document in both associated ballots stating that the translation of the
documents from German to prepare the English version had resulted in a lack
of clarity as to the intent and meaning of some of the terminology used. There
is a concern that some of the railway-related terminology used does not
correspond to UK usage. Therefore, this standard should be applied with care
and consideration in order to avoid misunderstanding.

4 General principles of the designation system
4.1 General
The basic principles for the designation of functions, products and locations shall be taken into account
according to EN 61346-1.
4.2 Structuring of the designation
These designations are structured according to the following criteria:
 function-oriented structure (=);
 product-oriented structure (-);
 location-oriented structure (+).
The structures have equal status and are independent of each other. The designation corresponds to the task
set. The designation can be used singly or in a combination. However, it is not necessary always to use all
possible designations.
8
EN 15380-1:2006 (E)
The prefix sign "&" according to EN 61355 is used for designating the document type. Prefix signs for other
designation tasks are given in EN 61346-2.
5 Rules for the structure of designation sets

The following rules apply based on EN 61346-1 and EN 61346-2
Rule 1: The designation sets are identified by prefix signs, with their own data positions.
Rule 2: The designation sets are subdivided into classes. These consist of one or more subclasses. Within
one designation set, the entities decreasing in interest are designated from left to right.
Rule 3: Each subclass consists of a maximum of three data positions not all of which, however, have to be
written, depending on the case. Within a subclass, only alphabetical (A) or numerical (N) characters are
permitted.
Rule 4: Only Latin upper cases letters from A to Z excluding "I" and "O" are permitted as alphabetical data
positions. For numerical data positions, Arabic numerals are used.
Rule 5: Subclasses at the beginning and/or end of a designation set can be omitted. The rules on this are
specified in this technical standard.
Rule 6: Certain designation sets are subdivided between classes by the classification character " . " with its
own data position. If the designation set is subdivided by the classification character " . " (ASCII Code 46
according to ISO/IEC 8859-1), rule 5 applies for the parts of the designation set to the left and right of the
classification character.
NOTE The combination of designation sets and the method of writing the characters are described in clause 7.
6 Structure and content of the designation sets
6.1 General
The structure and content of the designation sets are illustrated in the following subclauses. For the individual
designation sets, the structure specified for railway vehicles is illustrated in each case with the number of the
subclasses and data positions used.
NOTE See Annexes B and C.
6.2 Function aspect

EN 15380-1:2006 (E)
7.2 Format of the designations
Depending on the particular requirement, the designation sets are written down singly, in combinations, joined
up or separated with their prefix signs. Prefix signs can be omitted if the designations remain unambiguous,
e. g. in tables.
A separated format means splitting the designation in a document or on the technical devices or locations or
objects.
A separated format is only permitted if the designation remains unambiguous.
7.2.1 Format in the technical documents
Designations can be written:
 in the title block or at a defined point in the drawing;
 on frame lines, separating lines, break points;
 in tables;
 on graphical symbols.
With the separated format, the complete designation is made up of the part designations of the larger entities
in the title block or at a defined point in the drawing and part designations of the smaller entities at other
places in the document, e.g. on the frame line, the graphical symbol, the break point.
Designations that are not combined with the designation in the title block or at the defined point in the drawing
box shall always be written in full.
Rules for the format at break points, for notes and for abbreviations or separated format are specified in
EN 61082-1.
7.2.2 Format in the installation
In areas, on technical devices, locations and objects, complete designations shall only be written if it is
necessary to be able to give an unambiguous reference to the documentation for operating the installation. A
separated format is permitted. For this, the requirements of 7.2.1 apply as appropriate.
