This document is a translation of technology-specific safety requirements developed for the German Transrapid Maglev technology. These requirements were developed by a working group composed of representatives of German Federal Railways (DB), Testing and Planning Company for Maglev Systems (MVP), industry, Institute Railway Technology (IFB), and safety experts of TUV Rheinland and TUV Hannover headed by TUV Rheinland and sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Research and Technology. Topic areas covered include: levitation, propulsion, energy and control systems, load assumptions and vehicle and guideway stability, design, production and quality assurance of mechanical structures, switches, lighting protection, electromagnetic compatibility, electrostatic discharge, fire protection and rescue plan.
