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.

Determination of the size, shape, orientation and position of windscreens is outside the scope of this document. These data form part of the windscreen technical specification.
This document applies to windscreens made of laminated glass, which is the most commonly used material but also to other materials, subject to the performance requirements being satisfied.
This document does not specify requirements for the interfaces between the windscreen and the vehicle. Accordingly this document does not address issues relating to: installation, structural integrity and crashworthiness.

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.

The scope of this European Standard is restricted to the measurement of vertical wheel forces and calculation of derived quantities on vehicles in service. Measurements of a train in motion are used to estimate the static forces.
Derived quantities can be:
- axle loads;
- side to side load differences of a wheel set, bogie, vehicle;
- overall mass of vehicle or train set;
- mean axle load of a vehicle or train set.
This standard is not concerned with the evaluation of:
- dynamic wheel force or derived quantities;
- wheel condition (i.e. shape, profile, flats);
- lateral wheel force;
- combination of lateral and vertical wheel forces.
The standard defines accuracy classes for measurements to be made at any speed greater than 5 km/h within the calibrated range, which may be up to line speed.
The aim of this standard is to obtain measurement results that give representative values for the distribution of vertical wheel forces of a running vehicle, which under ideal conditions will be similar to those that can be obtained from a standing vehicle.
This standard does not impose any restrictions on the types of vehicles that can be monitored, or on which networks or lines the measuring system can be installed.
The standard lays down minimum technical requirements and the metrological characteristics of a system for measuring and evaluating a range of vehicle loading parameters. Also defined are accuracy classes for the parameters measured and the procedure for verifying the calibration.
The measuring system proposed in this standard should not be considered as safety critical. If the measuring system is connected to a train traffic command and control system then requirements that are not part of this standard may apply.
Measuring systems complying with this standard have the potential to enhance safety in the railway sector. However, the current operating and maintenance procedures rather than this standard are mandatory for ensuring safety levels in European rail networks.

It identifies additional terms, test methods and performance requirements for single-pole and multipole connectors with rated voltages up to 1 000 V, rated currents up to 125 A per contact and frequencies below 3 MHz used for indoor and outdoor applications in railway rolling stock.
This International Standard does not cover:
- connectors with breaking capacity (CBCs) as defined in IEC 61984:2008, 3.2, because on board rolling stock connectors are not intended to be operated (i.e. mated and unmated) under load or when live, either by means of procedures or by the presence of interlocks, as required by IEC 61991;
- non-rewirable connectors as defined in IEC 61984:2008, 3.5;
- automatic couplers, due to their additional mechanical complexity and the need for more specific requirements and testing;
- inter-vehicle jumpers, as they are connector and cable assemblies whose characteristics depend on those of both elements. Inter-vehicle connectors within the limits set in the scope of this International Standard are therefore covered by the agreed choice of suitable mechanical and environmental characteristics as defined by Annex B, and suggested by Annex C.
This International Standard identifies the application levels for electrical connectors based on
a) the severity of the service conditions in different rolling stock technologies,
b) the intended use of the rolling stock,
c) the location of the connector in the rolling stock system.
This International Standard is not applicable to internal connections of electronic devices such as connectors for printed boards and rack-and-panel connectors.

This document applies to distributor valves and distributor-isolating devices.
The distributor valves contained in this document are of graduable release type. Direct release types are not included.
Functionally they are regarded as not containing relay valves of any type, even if the relay valves are physically an integral part of the distributor valves.
This document applies to both distributor-isolating devices mounted separate from the distributor valve and distributor-isolating devices integral with the distributor valve.
This document specifies the requirements for the design, testing and quality assurance of distributor valves and distributor-isolating devices.
The distributor valve and distributor-isolating device are intended to be part of a brake system mounted in a vehicle with maximum length of 31 m and maximum brake pipe volume of 25 l taking into consideration brake pipe inner diameters between 25 mm and 32 mm.
