Abstract

This item is a corrigendum (Berichtigung 1, dated September 2010) to DIN EN 50159-2:2001 that supplies corrections and an informative Annex ZZ to the German edition of EN 50159-2:2001. It is a short technical correction rather than a full new edition; the corrigendum was later superseded when EN 50159 was consolidated and reissued as a single standard in 2011.

Scope

The corrigendum applies specifically to Part 2 (safety-related communication in open transmission systems) of EN 50159: it provides corrections to the German version of EN 50159-2:2001 and adds an informative Annex ZZ. It does not itself introduce a new safety framework but corrects and clarifies wording and annex material in the existing 2001 Part 2 text. The consolidated EN 50159:2010/2011 later replaced the two-part structure.

Key topics and requirements

• Corrigendum items and editorial corrections to DIN EN 50159-2:2001 (Part 2: open transmission systems).
• Addition of an informative Annex ZZ to the German edition (as noted in the corrigendum).
• No full technical restructuring—intended to correct, clarify and align the national text with the CENELEC corrigendum.
• Subsequently superseded by the consolidated standard DIN EN 50159 (2011), which harmonised Parts 1 and 2 and introduced a unified structure for safety-related communication requirements.

Typical use and users

Used by railway signalling engineers, safety assessors, standards librarians, compliance officers and technical authors who need to track corrections to the German edition of EN 50159-2:2001. As a corrigendum it is mainly of interest when referencing or auditing the exact text of the 2001 Part 2 German version or historical compliance records; for current design and certification work the consolidated EN 50159:2010/2011 (and its amendments) is the primary reference.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Railway signalling engineers, safety assessors, documentation specialists and standards/quality managers who need the exact corrected national wording of EN 50159-2:2001 for historical records or audits. For current design work, the consolidated EN 50159 standard is normally used.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: It has been superseded. The corrigendum and the underlying 2001 two-part standards were replaced by the consolidated DIN EN 50159 (published 2011), which is the current consolidated reference (with later amendments). The corrigendum itself is withdrawn.
