Overview

EN 13981-1:2003 is a CEN European Standard that defines technical conditions for inspection and delivery of extruded aluminium products used in structural railway applications. It covers extruded rod/bar, tube and profile products that contribute to the structural properties of the railcar bodyshell and other major structural components. The standard sets requirements on qualification, quality control, material properties and dimensional tolerances, and includes guidelines for application and use.

Important note: requirements on welded joints in this standard are intended for material qualification purposes and are not applicable to welded assemblies and sub‑assemblies.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and ordering information: designation of alloy and temper, drawing references, quantities, lengths and special requirements for conformity and testing.
  • Production & manufacturing processes: manufacturer discretion unless specified; rules on billet changes and extrusion lengths.
  • Quality assurance: manufacturers must maintain a quality management system (at least equivalent to EN ISO 9001) and inspection plans.
  • Alloys, chemical composition & tempers: references to EN 573-3 and EN 515 for alloy and temper designations.
  • Mechanical properties: static and cyclic (fatigue) performance requirements for parent material and welded joints (qualification only).
  • Welds & seams: mechanical testing, weld quality levels and verification of extrusion seams and internal walls.
  • Surface condition & dimensional tolerances: freedom from surface defects, tolerances on dimensions and form (linked to EN 755 series).
  • Qualification procedures: first-off article approval and additional qualification steps.
  • Sampling & test methods: chemical analysis, tensile testing, fatigue testing, metallography, visual inspection and dimensional measurement.
  • Traceability, marking & documentation: requirements for traceability, declaration of conformity, record keeping and packaging.
  • Annexes: normative test procedures (bend test, fatigue test pieces), material property tables (e.g., EN AW‑6008) and informative guidelines for alloy selection, fatigue design and welding.

Applications

  • Specification and acceptance of extruded aluminium profiles for railcar body shells, frames, floors and other structural components.
  • Basis for material qualification, supplier contracts, incoming inspection and production quality control for railway OEMs and suppliers.
  • Reference for design engineers assessing material selection, dimensional tolerancing and fatigue behaviour of extruded aluminium used in rail vehicles.

Who uses this standard

  • Rail vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) and sub‑suppliers
  • Aluminium extrusion manufacturers and mills
  • Procurement and quality assurance managers in rail industry
  • Materials and weld testing laboratories
  • Design and structural engineers specifying aluminium components for railcars

Related standards

  • EN 515, EN 573-3, EN 755 (parts 1–9), EN 1011-4, EN 895, EN ISO 4287 and EN 30042.
  • EN 13981 is a multi‑part set - Parts 2–4 cover plates/sheets, castings and forgings for railway structural use.

The article is about a European Standard, EN 13981-1:2003, which specifies requirements for extruded products made from aluminum and aluminum alloys for use in structural railway applications. The standard covers products such as rods/bars, tubes, and profiles that contribute to the structural properties of railcar bodyshell and other major structural components. However, the standard's requirements for welded joints do not apply to welded assemblies and sub-assemblies, as they are only used for material qualification purposes. The standard also includes guidelines for qualification, quality control, material properties, and dimensional tolerances. It is noted that some of the listed products may be subject to patents, but their inclusion in the standard does not grant a license for those patents. The CEN/TC 132, which is responsible for the standard, asserts that if a patent holder refuses to grant licenses under reasonable and non-discriminatory conditions, the product in question will be removed from the standard.
