This European Standard specifies minimum structural requirements for railway vehicle bodies.
This European Standard specifies the loads vehicle bodies should be capable of sustaining, identifies
how material data should be used and presents the principles to be used for design validation by
analysis and testing. This European Standard applies to locomotives and passenger rolling stock.
EN 12663-2 provides the verification procedure for freight wagons and also refers to the methods in
this standard as an alternative for freight wagons.
The railway vehicles are divided into categories which are defined only with respect to the structural
requirements of the vehicle bodies. Some vehicles may not fit into any of the defined categories; the
structural requirements for such railway vehicles should be part of the specification and be based on
the principles presented in this European Standard.
The standard applies to all railway vehicles within the EU and EFTA territories. The specified
requirements assume operating conditions and circumstances such as are prevalent in these countries.
In addition to the requirements of this European Standard the structure of all vehicles associated with
passenger conveyance may generally be required to have features that will protect occupants in the
case of collision accidents. These requirements are given in EN 15227.

This European Standard specifies minimum structural requirements for freight wagon bodies and
associated specific equipment such as: roof, side and end walls, door, stanchion, fasteners and
attachments. It defines also special requirements for the freight wagon bodies when the wagon is
equipped with crashworthy buffers.
It defines the loads sustained by vehicle bodies and specific equipment, gives material data, identifies its
use and presents principles and methods to be used for design validation by analysis and testing.
For this design validation, two methods are given:
— one based on loadings, tests and criteria based upon methods used previously by the UIC rules and
applicable only for vehicle bodies made of steel;
— one based on the method of design and assessment of vehicles bodies given in !EN 12663-
1:2010+A2:2023". For this method, the load conditions to be applied to freight wagons are given
in this European Standard. They are copied in the !EN 12663-1:2010+A2:2023" in order to
facilitate its use when applied to freight wagons.
The freight wagons are divided into categories which are defined only with respect to the structural
requirements of the vehicle bodies.
Some freight wagons do not fit into any of the defined categories; the structural requirements for such
freight wagons should be part of the specification and be based on the principles presented in this
European Standard.
The standard applies to all freight wagons within the EU and EFTA territories. The specified
requirements assume operating conditions and circumstances such as are prevalent in these countries.
