4.2.2 Maintenance plan For wheelset maintenance, it is necessary to have a maintenance plan for the wheelsets when in-service and off-vehicle. The maintenance plan shall specify:  the actions to be performed to meet the requirements and mandatory operations listed in this standard;  the maintenance intervals;  any specific measures to be implemented. The maintenance plan shall be written by a competent technical department in the railway field and approved by the technical expert for the owner undertaking.

4.2.4 Traceability – storage – transportation 4.2.4.1 Wheelset identification In order to ensure traceability, in-service boxed wheelsets shall have marks complying with the requirements of EN 13260, EN 13261 and EN 13262. It is recommended to have:  the keeper’s mark on the wheel (e.g. on the hub, with the same requirement as for the other marks, as specified in EN 13262; painted on the web, etc.);  external identification on boxed wheelset with axle boxes mounted (e.g. tag or metal plate on the axle box, collar on the axle, radiofrequency identification (RFID) etc.). None of the external identification marks shall adversely affect the axle or its components. SIST EN 15313:2016

The contents of the database and process for capturing information shall be described in a specific procedure. The consistency of the records shall be checked on a regular basis. 4.2.4.3.2 Freight wagons For freight wagon boxed wheelsets, the minimum content of the database, the time period to store the data and the measures resulting from lack of traceability are given in Annex A. The data shall be recorded in an electronic database. For new freight wagon boxed wheelsets, the data in Tables A.1 to A.6 shall be collected before the boxed wheelset is placed in service. For in service freight wagon boxed wheelsets, the data shall be collected at the earliest opportunity according to the maintenance plan (see clause 7.1). Collected maintenance data is identified in categories I, II and III in Annex A, according to the minimum time for retaining the information. In the event of a change of owner and/or ECM, all available wheelset data shall be transferred to the new owner and/or ECM.
4.2.4.3.3 Non-freight vehicles For non-freight vehicles, the content of Annex B may be taken into consideration in ensuring adequate traceability. 4.2.4.4 Storage Component parts, equipment, consumables etc. are to be protected against damage, as well as against environmental degradation according to manufacturer’s recommendations, if applicable. For in-vehicle boxed wheelsets stored for at least 24 months, the need for rotation of boxed wheelsets shall be based on service experience SIST EN 15313:2016

This file shall indicate that the equipment or railway-specific system has the appropriate levels of sensitivity and repeatability in line with the desired objective. Performance sustainability shall be demonstrated by means of calibrated reference equipment. In addition, when new methods are used, it shall be ensured that the results achieved with the new equipment or system are at least equivalent to those obtained with the former (e.g. differentiation between parts with or without defects, etc.). 4.4 Staff certification and competence Certification is necessary for staff carrying out: a) non-destructive testing: the staff shall be qualified according to EN ISO 9712 (Industrial Sector: Railway Maintenance) or equivalent and authorized to work on specific processes; b) welding operations: the staff shall be qualified according to EN 15085-2 or equivalent for components where welding is authorized. NOTE An EN standard relating to the use of NDT in wheelset maintenance is currently being prepared and may be used as a reference for the training of operators following its publication. 4.5 Qualification of an undertaking for the maintenance of in-service or off-vehicle wheelsets
