Full title and description
GOST 33436.3-1-2015 — Electromagnetic compatibility of technical equipment. Railway systems and equipment. Part 3-1. Railway rolling stock. Requirements and test methods. This standard sets requirements and test methods for electromagnetic emissions and immunity of railway rolling stock (locomotives, passenger and freight cars, motorized and special rolling stock) and aligns with international EMC practice for rail applications.
Abstract
This document is the Part 3‑1 element of a series on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for railway systems. It defines limits, measurement and test procedures, and acceptance criteria for the electromagnetic environment caused by rolling stock and for rolling stock immunity to electromagnetic disturbances. The standard implements the technical content of IEC 62236‑3‑1:2008 for application in the GOST framework.

Scope
The standard applies to railway rolling stock and specifies: permissible levels of radiated and conducted electromagnetic emissions from rolling stock; immunity requirements for on‑board equipment to common railway electromagnetic disturbances; test arrangements, measurement techniques and pass/fail criteria for type and acceptance testing of vehicles and vehicle equipment. It is intended for use where EMC assessment is required for design, certification and acceptance of railway vehicles.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of emission limits (radiated and conducted) for rolling stock in specified frequency bands.
- Immunity levels and performance criteria for on‑board systems against radiated electromagnetic fields, conducted disturbances and transient phenomena.
- Measurement methods: test set‑ups, antenna placements, instrumentation and measurement uncertainty considerations for vehicle tests.
- Test procedures for type testing and on‑site/acceptance tests of complete vehicles and subsystems.
- Application of IEC 62236‑3‑1:2008 methods and adaptation to national/interstate GOST requirements.
- Reference normative documents and cross‑references to other GOST/IEC standards relevant to railway EMC.
Typical use and users
Used by railway vehicle designers, equipment manufacturers, EMC test laboratories, certification bodies, infrastructure owners and acceptance engineers. Typical applications include type approval of new rolling stock, EMC test campaigns during design validation, supplier qualification and in‑service investigations of electromagnetic interference incidents.
