! This document specifies the characteristics and the performance requirements of the Passenger Alarm System (PAS). The aim of the PAS is to:

• - allow passengers, in case of emergency situations, to inform the driver;
• - allow the driver to keep the train moving or to stop the train at a safe location;

- stop the train automatically:

• a) at a platform,
• b) if there is no acknowledgement by the driver.

This document covers the PAS fitted to passenger carrying rolling stock and specifies:

• - the functional requirements for an alarm triggered in the driving cab (Clause 6);
• - the communication channel between the driver and passengers or on-board staff (6.4)
• - the dynamic analysis of the PAS (Clause 7);
• - the requirements for the degraded modes management (Clause 8);
• - the safety related requirements (Clause 9);
• - requirements for the Passenger Alarm Device (PAD) and PAD area (Clause 10).

This document applies to heavy rail rolling stock, which is in the field of the EU Directive 2016/797/EU. This document does not apply to metros, trams and light rail, as defined by the CEN/CENELEC Guide 26.

Existing passenger alarm systems may require modification to work in conjunction with vehicles that comply with this document.

NOTE - Most of the requirements of UIC 541-6 are compliant with this document.

Other communication systems such as "communication device for passengers", "call for aid", "emergency call" or "call for assistance" are covered by the EN 16683 series.
