IEC 60571 applies to all electronic equipment intended for use on railway rolling stock, including: Checks resistance to moisture and corrosion
Modern rolling stock—ranging from high-speed trains to urban metros—relies heavily on complex electronic systems [1]. These systems control everything from safety-critical braking systems and traction control to passenger infotainment and Wi-Fi [1].
