Many thanks! The customer (locomotive manufacturer) specifies US English as a general rule, although you are quite right, it doesn't make a lot of sense in this context.

this could help you a lot http://www.uic.org/com/IMG/pdf/UIC_LEAFLET.pdf
I'm actually surprised it is freely available - copy now while you can !

If it's ETCS, why on earth..
do you want US English?

This site is OK despite its Swedish origin.... http://www.transportstyrelsen.se/Global/Jarnvag/Nationella k...
David Williams (asker) Sep 19, 2011:
Further context This is a claim explaining and justifying additional engineering costs for a project. This particular sentence:
"Klärung welche Anforderungen die Ventile für die Zwangsbremseingriffe erfüllen müssen."
relates to the ETCS system.
So, are the "Ventile für die Zwangsbremseingriffe" simply "emergency brake valves"?
polyglot45 Sep 19, 2011:
in the UK these would be emergency brake handles.... for example you have driver's brake valves - but not sure about US (though driver = engineer)

This is indeed AUTOMATIC BRAKING - brain went on a slight walkabout earlier!

David Please could you give some proper context. What is this document about? What comes before and after this - is it even a full sentence?
David Williams (asker) Sep 19, 2011:
I'm thinking along the lines of the requirements that have to be met by the valves for automatic brake application/automatic application of the brakes
