Scope
GB/T 28791-2024 is the English-translated version of 机车车辆标志 车辆及动车组.
China's national standard for the signs applied to railway vehicles and multiple units. It specifies the terms and definitions, the classification, the general requirements, the material and construction requirements and the placement of the signs and markings carried on rolling stock. A railway vehicle is covered in writing, and almost none of it is decoration. There are the identification markings - the vehicle number, the owner, the type, the tare and load, the wheelbase and the dates of the last examinations - which are how a vehicle is identified in a yard, in a train list and in a maintenance record. There are the operating markings that tell a shunter or a driver what the vehicle can do: the brake type, the coupling, the maximum speed, the route availability. There are the safety signs that warn of electric shock, of moving parts, of the pantograph clearance, and that mark the emergency exits, the emergency brake and the equipment a rescuer needs to find in the dark. And there are the passenger-facing signs inside a multiple unit. Every one of them has to be legible after fifteen years outdoors on a vehicle washed with detergent at speed, and none may fall off. The 2024 revision reflects that. It adds terms and definitions for the signs themselves, revises the classification, and adds three sets of requirements the 2012 edition did not carry: general requirements for marking, appearance and surface requirements, and requirements for safety signs specifically. It adds material requirements for markings applied in places where there is an electric shock hazard, and a whole chapter on where signs are to be placed. Issued on 15 March 2024 and in force since 1 July 2024, it replaces GB/T 28791-2012.
