The REPID EPIs

Short descriptions of the REPID indicators can be seen here below. A report with more detailed definitions exists, but it is still internal in the REPID project.

Key Topics	Indicator name	Description	Life cycle phase
Noise Emissions	Pass by Noise	Monitor pass by noise emissions from interoperable vehicles (freight wagons, locomotives, multiple units and coaches) in compliance with TSI regulations.	Operation
	Stationary Noise	Monitor stationary noise emissions from interoperable vehicles (locomotives, multiple units and coaches) in compliance with TSI regulations.	Operation
	Starting Noise	Monitor starting noise emissions from interoperable vehicles (locomotives, multiple units and coaches) in compliance with TSI regulations.	Operation
Energy	Traction energy use	Monitor energy use for traction of a train	Operation
	Energy use for comfort functions	Monitor the energy used for all kinds of comfort functions of a passanger rolling stock: heating, cooling, ventilation, lightning, toilets, doors and catering.	Operation
	Exhaust emissions from diesel vehicles	Monitor emissions from diesel vehicles in compliance with regulations. Emissions of CO, HC, Nox and PM (particles) are regarded.	Operation
Materials and recycling	Amount of prohibited materials	Monitor the amount of prohibited materials in the vehicle. Prohibited material means that the material is on the REPID list of prohibited materials.	Production
	Amount of restricted materials	Monitor the amount of restricted materials in the vehicle. Restricted material means that the material is on the REPID list of restricted materials.	Production
	Total vehicle mass	Monitor the total weight of the vehicle	Production
	Materials inventory degree	Monitor the degree of declaration of materials in a vehicle. The material should be declared with name and weight.	Production
	Fraction renewable material	Monitor the weight fraction of renewable materials in the vehicle	Production
	Fraction recycled materials	Monitor the weight fraction of recycled materials in the vehicle. The term �Recycled� means that the material has been recycled through material recycling. Material recycling is defined as the reprocessing in a production process of the waste material for the original purpose or for other purposes but excluding energy recovery.	Production
	Total number of material	Monitor the total number of materials, according to the REPID material list, in a product.	Production
Materials and recycling	Marking of polymers	Monitor the marking of polymers in the vehicle. This marking will help the material recycling. Marking should be performed according to ISO 11 469 or similar standard regulations.	End of life
	Material recycling rate	Monitor the fraction of materials that can be recycled through material recycling. Material recycling, often called recycling, means the reprocessing in a production process of the waste material for the original purpose or for other purposes but excluding energy recovery.	End of life
	Can be incinerated with energy recovery	Monitor the amount of material that can be incinerated with energy recovery. Energy recovery means the use of combustible waste as a means to generate energy through direct incineration with or without other waste but with recovery of the heat.	End of life
	Amount of potential hazardous waste	Monitor the amount of potential hazardous waste. The definition of hazardous waste is based on EU regulations.	End of life
Other environ-mental impacts	Emissions from wear	The aim of this indicator is to monitor the particulate emissions from brake pads. These particulate emissions can be harmful to the environment near the roadbed.	Operation
Other environ-mental impacts	Electromagnetic fields	Monitor compliance with regulations in different types of electromagnetic fields in the train.	Operation
Manufac-turing	Suppliers with EMS	The fraction of suppliers with Environmental Management Systems (EMS), is calculated.	Operation
Manufac-turing	Existence of product environmental management support	Monitor the availability of different manuals. The following manuals should be checked: Environmental maintenance manuals and Environmental disassemble/scrapping manuals.	End of life
