TecRec
|
|
UNIFE and UIC have agreed to work together in the field of voluntary rail standardisation and have decided to jointly publish Technical Recommendations (TecRecs).
A TecRec is a UIC/UNIFE standard of which, the primary field of application will be the European rolling stock domain and its interfaces with other subsystems, and is the preferred solution by both partners for, in particular:
• Product and interface standards such as standardisation of component interfaces
• Publication of results of common research programs
• Acceleration and better influence over the European Standardisation works
Pending the publication of a European standard a TecRec will serve as a common comprehensive standard, approved by UIC and UNIFE and therefore recognised as a voluntary sector standard aimed to improve the competitiveness of the European railway system.
The general hierarchy within which a TecRec sits is in order of prevalence:
1. EN elaborated by CEN/CLC
2. TecRec elaborated by UIC and UNIFE
3. UIC leaflets elaborated by UIC
TecRecs are managed by a joint UIC/UNIFE co-ordination group. Priorities and resolution of conflicts are provided by a joint high-level TecRec Steering Board.
