1   Scope For the purpose of demonstrating compatibility between rolling stock and axle counter detectors , this Technical Specification defines the interference limits and evaluation methods to verify rolling stock emissions. Wheel sensors and crossing loops are not covered by this Technical Specification. This Technical Specification gives recommended individual limits to be applied to establish compatibility between RST and all selected types of axle counter detectors , including any covered by national standards. The list of selected types of axle counters and their limits for compatibility are drawn on the basis of established performance criteria. It is expected that the trend for newly signalled interoperable lines will be fitted with types that meet the compatibility limits published in the TSI CCS Interfaces Document (ERA/ERTMS/033281). To ensure adequate operational availability, it is essential that the rolling stock complies with the defined limits; otherwise, the established availability of the valid output function of axle counter detectors may be compromised.

NOTE The influences from metal parts or inductively coupled resonant circuits on the vehicle, eddy current brakes or magnetic brakes, are not covered by this Technical Specification but are considered on the basis of national technical specifications.
