EMC in railways

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) must be maintained between the railway infrastructure: OLE, power supply; signalling or train control system; rolling stock and other electrical/electronic systems situated adjacent to the railway, in order to ensure system functionality and safety. In addition all electrical/electronic systems in use on European railway networks must conform with the essential protection requirements of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC [8] and the national implementing regulations; SI 2006 no.3418 [9] in the UK and/or the interoperability Directives.
