Railway applications - Railway Rolling stock - Draw gear and screw coupling

This document specifies the requirements for the draw gear and screw coupling for the end of rolling stock that is bound to couple with other rolling stock (freight wagons, locomotives, passenger vehicles, etc.).
This document covers the functionality, construction, interfaces and testing including pass/fail criteria for draw gear and screw coupling.
The document describes three categories of classification of draw gear and screw coupling, (1 MN, 1,2 MN and 1,5 MN).
Coupling systems between permanently coupled vehicle units are not in the scope of this document.

Bahnanwendungen - Schienenfahrzeuge - Zugeinrichtung und Schraubenkupplung

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an Zugeinrichtungen und Schraubenkupplungen für Wagenenden fest, die für das Ankuppeln an andere Schienenfahrzeuge (Güterwagen, Lokomotiven, Reisezugwagen usw.)  notwendig sind.
Dieses Dokument umfasst die Funktionalität, Bauweise, Schnittstellen und Prüfungen einschließlich der Abnahmekriterien für Zugeinrichtungen und Schraubenkupplungen.
In diesem Dokument sind drei Kategorien von Zugeinrichtungen und Schraubenkupplungen beschrieben (1 MN, 1,2 MN und 1,5 MN).
Bestimmungen, die über den Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments hinausgehen, können in der Technischen Spezifikation vereinbart werden. Die Technische Spezifikation ist kein verbindliches Dokument.
Kupplungssysteme zwischen permanent gekuppelten (im Regelbetrieb untrennbare) Wageneinheiten sind vom Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments ausgeschlossen.

Applications ferroviaires - Matériel roulant ferroviaire - Organes de traction et tendeur d'attelage

Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives aux organes de traction et aux tendeurs d'attelage pour un matériel roulant d'extrémité qu'il faut pouvoir coupler à un autre matériel roulant (wagons de marchandises, locomotives, véhicules voyageurs, etc.).
Le présent document couvre la fonctionnalité, la construction, les interfaces et les essais, y compris les critères de réussite/d'échec relatifs aux essais des organes de traction et des tendeurs d'attelage.
Le présent document décrit trois catégories d'organes de traction et de tendeurs d'attelage (1 MN, 1,2 MN et 1,5 MN).
Les dispositions qui vont au-delà du domaine d'application du présent document peuvent être fixées par accord dans la spécification technique. La spécification technique n'est pas un document obligatoire.
Les systèmes d'attelage entre les unités des véhicules couplés de manière permanente ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application du présent document.

Železniške naprave - Železniška vozila - Vlečna naprava in vijačna spenjača

Ta dokument določa zahteve za vlečno napravo in vijačno spenjačo za konec železniškega vozila, ki se mora speti z drugimi vozili (tovorni vagoni, lokomotive, potniška vozila itd.).
Ta dokument zajema funkcionalnost, sestavo, vmesnike in preskušanje, vključno z merili za uspešno/neuspešno opravljen preskus, za vlečno napravo in vijačno spenjačo.
Dokument opisuje tri razvrstitvene kategorije vlečne naprave in vijačne spenjače (1 MN, 1,2 MN in 1,5 MN).
Ta dokument ne zajema spenjalnih sistemov med trajno povezanimi enotami vozil.
