Standards Development
Current scope:
This document applies to all heavy rail vehicles including OTM’s and Road-rail machines which are operated on the heavy rail network with standard track gauge (1 435 mm) and nominal static vertical wheelset forces up to 350 kN.
This document contains the assessment of rail vehicles according to stationary test methods that are not obligatory on European level. It includes information about the field of possible applications. This series is not directly applicable to:
- rail systems with different track layout, e.g. urban rail systems;
- rail systems with non-standard track gauge (i.e. other than 1 435 mm nominal track gauge); but assessment can be conducted using the principles (partly or fully) of this series of standards.
Note 1: For example, test procedures described in this series of standards can be applied also to vehicles operated in networks with other nominal track gauges (for example 1 524 mm or 1 668 mm). The related limit values and test conditions could be different. They are specified nationally taking into account track design and operating conditions.
For example, running safety under longitudinal compressive forces in S-shaped curves is out of the scope of this document.
New scope:
This document applies to all rail vehicles including OTM’s and Road-rail machines, which are operated on the heavy rail network with standard track gauge 1 435°mm and nominal static vertical wheelset forces up to 350 kN.
This document may also be applicable (partly or in full) to:
— rail systems with different track layout, e.g. urban rail systems and/or,
— rail systems with other than 1 435 mm nominal track gauge.
Note: For such rail systems other than 1 435 mm track gauge or urban rail systems, the related post analysis, limit values and test conditions could be different. They are specified nationally taking into account track design and operating conditions.
This document contains the assessment of rail vehicles according to stationary test methods that are not obligatory on European level. It includes information about the field of possible applications.
The revision of the series requires the separation of this standard in essential parts (6 parts in total
