DB (German Standards)

DB (Deutsche Bahn) standards refer to a set of technical and safety guidelines established by the German railway company, Deutsche Bahn, to ensure consistent quality, safety, and interoperability across railway operations and infrastructure. These standards cover areas such as track design, train operation, signaling systems, and maintenance procedures. Adhering to DB standards helps maintain efficient, reliable, and safe rail services in Germany, supporting seamless integration of infrastructure and vehicles within the national rail network. Think of them as the "rules of good practice" that keep the railway system functioning smoothly.
