The main objective of EUREMCO is to harmonise and reduce the certification process of rail vehicles against Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). The main concept of the project is to specify the conditions for cross-accepted certification all around Europe, through sound scientific methodologies allowing for the identification of the “transfer functions” to be applied to results obtained on different test tracks in different countries, for the same power supply system.
By also addressing non-electrified lines, the project will cover the entire European railway network. By closing the corresponding “open points” in the TSIs, the project will lead to a time and cost reduction in the certification process of rail vehicles against Electromagnetic Compatibility issues, corresponding to an estimated saving of €60m for the next 15 years.
