McMyAdmin was replaced by AMP in 2018, new users should use AMP instead of McMyAdmin.
This page remains here for legacy users.
AMP features the same ease of use and simple installation, but supports more games, has more features, and will continue to recieve support and updates. McMyAdmin 2 is no longer recieving any feature updates.
Please use CubeCoders AMP for any new installations where possible.
The micro-groove edge exposes the raw decorative layer at an angle. Under UV light, this edge can fade faster than the flat surface. EN 17168 requires Blue Wool Scale ≥ 6 (very good lightfastness) for the groove edge, which is one step higher than EN 13329's requirement of ≥ 5.
| Parameter | Requirement | |-----------|-------------| | Attachment method | Mechanical (e.g., rivets, screws) or bonding – must withstand max braking force without detachment | | Block pitch & pattern | Defined coordinate system for hole/block positions to ensure caliper clearance | | Backing plate thickness | Minimum 8 mm (typical steel) to resist bending under load | | Flatness | <0.3 mm over entire plate to avoid uneven wear | | Thermal stability | No deformation above 400°C (simulated emergency brake stop) | | Corrosion protection | Zinc plating or equivalent (salt spray test ≥72 h) |
EN 17168 is not just about strength; it is about predictable behavior under stress. The standard mandates rigorous testing for: en 17168
EN 17168 is a European Standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It provides a comprehensive framework for the care, management, and conservation of arms and armour within heritage institutions.
Released in 2019, this standard addresses a critical gap in heritage science. While general conservation standards exist (such as those for metals or textiles), arms and armour are unique hybrid objects that combine complex materials (metals, leather, wood, textile, bone) with mechanical functionality and historical significance. EN 17168 moves beyond simple "repair" and establishes a modern, preventive conservation approach tailored specifically to these objects. The micro-groove edge exposes the raw decorative layer
All materials must achieve at least Euroclass B-s3, d2 (limited contribution to fire) under EN 13501-1. No flaming droplets allowed.
EN 17168 applies to fixed or movable platform edge barriers installed at stations where the train speed does not exceed 200 km/h. These barriers are designed to: EN 17168 applies to fixed or movable platform
The standard explicitly excludes:
If you are a railway infrastructure manager, platform barrier manufacturer, or station design consultant, EN 17168 is your roadmap to legal compliance and passenger safety. Ignoring it exposes your organization to:
More importantly, adopting EN 17168 demonstrates a commitment to protecting the most vulnerable people in your station — the elderly, the distracted, the child, and the visually impaired.
The standard is available for purchase from national bodies like BSI (UK), DIN (Germany), or AFNOR (France). For existing platforms, a gap analysis against EN 17168 should be your first step. Retrofitting may be expensive; doing nothing is far more costly.
