Key Aspects of IEC 60571

What is IEC 60571?

Officially titled "Electronic equipment used on rail vehicles," IEC 60571 is the global benchmark for the design, testing, and performance of electronic devices installed on trains. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), it provides the "rules of the road" for manufacturers. Iec 60571.pdf

• Longitudinal, lateral, and vertical axes.
• Simulated long-life vibration (typically 5 hours per axis).
• Shock pulses: 50 m/s² for 30 ms.
