EN 13775-5:2004

• Abstract:

  This European Standard specifies principles and requirements for measuring bogies with 3 wheelsets. This ensures that the measuring processes are applied in accordance with uniform criteria. It applies to new and modified bogies with 3 wheelsets.; Provisions going beyond the scope of these requirements are generally agreed between the contracting parties involved. ; The measuring processes relate to the bogies with or without add-ons in their entirety or just part of them if the geometrical structure does not permit anything else. Where appropriate, other measuring processes not specified here are necessary and are specified in each individual case.

Overview

EN 13775-5:2004 - Railway applications: Measuring of new and modified freight wagons - Part 5: Bogies with 3 wheelsets (CEN) specifies the principles and requirements for measuring three‑axle bogies used under freight wagons. The standard defines uniform criteria for measurement processes so that dimensional verification of new-build and modified bogies is consistent, repeatable and acceptable between contracting parties.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and applicability: Applies to new and modified bogies with 3 wheelsets used on freight wagons. It covers measurements applied to the bogie as a whole or to individual parts when the geometry prevents measuring the entire assembly.
• Uniform measurement principles: Establishes baseline requirements and measurement principles to ensure consistent procedures across manufacturers, maintenance organizations and acceptance tests.
• Whole‑assembly vs partial measurement: Specifies that measurements may be performed on the complete bogie (with or without attached items) or on constituent parts where the bogie geometry does not permit full‑assembly checks.
• Add‑ons and attachments: Measurement processes relate to bogies with or without add‑ons; the standard allows flexibility to include attached components when relevant to geometry or functionality.
• Contracting‑party agreements: Any provisions that go beyond the scope of EN 13775-5:2004 should be agreed between the contracting parties. Where additional measurement methods are required, these are specified case‑by‑case by the parties involved.
• Practical measurement considerations: While this part sets principles and criteria, specific measurement tools, tolerances and supplementary procedures are determined in accordance with agreed test plans or other applicable standards.

Applications

• Factory acceptance testing of new three‑axle bogies for freight wagons
• Verification after modification or overhaul to confirm dimensional conformity
• Quality control during manufacture and assembly of bogies
• Interoperability checks where consistent geometric data are required between suppliers and operators
• Basis for contractual measurement procedures between manufacturers, operators and infrastructure managers

Who uses this standard

• Freight wagon manufacturers and OEMs
• Rolling‑stock design and engineering teams
• Maintenance depots and overhaul workshops
• Test laboratories and inspection bodies
• Railway operators and contracting authorities involved in wagon acceptance

Related standards

• EN 13775 series (other parts) and other CEN railway measurement and testing standards. Contracting parties often reference EN 13775-5:2004 together with complementary national or international measurement specifications.
