Railway applications - Testing for the acceptance of running characteristics of railway vehicles - Freight wagons - Testing of running safety under longitudinal compressive forces

This European Standard defines the acceptance process to be followed by vehicles that are operated in trains capable of generating high longitudinal forces and that are susceptible, as a result of their design, to derailment as a result of being subjected to these forces.
This European Standard applies to the following types of freight wagons equipped with standard ends as defined in this EN:
-   single wagons;
-   permanently coupled units with side buffers and screw couplers between the vehicles;
-   permanently coupled units with diagonal buffers with screw couplers between the vehicles;
-   articulated units with three 2-axle bogies;
-   low-floor wagons with eight or more axles (e.g. rolling road wagon  ).
The following vehicles are not currently in the scope of this European Standard:
-   wagons that are not subjected to extensive longitudinal compressive forces due to their operational environment (as train composition, braking regime, track layout);
-   wagons with automatic couplers  );
-   wagons with 3-axle bogies  );
-   permanently coupled units with a bar coupler between the vehicles  );
-   articulated wagons with more than three 2-axle bogies.
Acceptance criteria and test conditions as well as conditions for the dispensation from tests are defined in this European Standard.
This document applies principally to wagons which operate without restriction on standard gauge tracks in Europe (1 435 mm).
NOTE   The influence on railway systems using other gauges is not sufficiently understood to extend the scope of this document to gauges other than standard. Where applicable, the described criteria are part of the type testing of wagons which are newly developed or have had relevant design modifications. The testing and acceptance refers to the complete vehicle including the running gear.

La présente norme européenne définit le processus d'homologation à suivre pour les véhicules qui sont
exploités dans des trains capables de générés des forces longitudinales de compression élevées et
susceptibles, en raison de leur conception, de dérailler à cause de ses forces.
La présente norme européenne s’applique aux types de wagons de marchandises équipés d'extrémités
normalisées tels que définies dans la présente norme européenne :
- Wagons simples;
- unités couplées en permanence équipées de tampons latéraux et de tendeurs d’attelage à leurs
extrémités et entre les véhicules ;
- unités couplées en permanence équipées de tampons latéraux et de tendeurs d’attelage à leurs
extrémités et de tampons diagonaux associés à des tendeurs d’attelage entre les véhicules ;
- unités articulés avec trois bogies à deux essieux équipés de tampons latéraux et de tendeurs d’attelage à
leurs extrémités ;
- wagons à plancher surbaisssé comportant huit essieux ou plus (par ex. wagon de Route roulante1).
N’entrent actuellement pas dans le domaine d’application de la présente norme européenne :
- les wagons qui ne sont pas soumis à des forces longitudinales de compression en raison de leur
condition d’exploitation (tel que la composition du train, le régime de freinage et les paramètres
définissant la voie) ;
- les wagons avec attelages automatiques2 ;
- les wagons avec des bogies à trois essieux3 ;
- les unités couplées en permanence comportant une barre d’attelage entre les véhicules4 ;
- les wagons articulés avec plus de trois bogies à deux essieux.
Les critères d’homologation, les conditions d’essai ainsi que les conditions de dispense d’essais sont définis
dans la présente norme européenne.
Le présent document s’applique essentiellement à tous les wagons circulant sans restriction sur les voies à
écartement normal (1 435 mm) en Europe.
NOTE L’influence sur les systèmes ferroviaire utilisant d’autres écartements de voie n’est pas suffisamment
connue pour être couverte dans le domaine d’application de ce document. Lorsqu’ils sont applicables, les
critères décrits font partie des essais de types de wagons de conception récente ou ayant subi d’importantes

This document defines the acceptance process to be followed by vehicles that:  are equipped with standard ends consisting of side buffers and screw couplers; and  operated in a way that high longitudinal compressive forces may occur in the trains. The establishment of this document was based on currently existing rules, practices and procedures in order to define acceptance criteria ensuring a safe operation under the existing operating conditions. It provides a defined testing interface between vehicle design, track layout and braking operation. Investigations according to this standard are not necessary if operating practice shows that a safe operation is achieved without them. The following principles are applied: 1) the railway system requires comprehensive technical rules in order to ensure an acceptable interaction of vehicle and track; 2) due to the numerous national and international regulations new railway vehicles shall be tested and homologated before putting them into service. In addition, existing acceptance shall be checked when operating conditions are extended; 3) in view of the significance of international traffic, the harmonisation of existing regulations is required. In some cases, additional rules are required as well: an update of existing regulations is also needed due to the considerable progress achieved in the field of railway-specific methods for measuring, evaluation and data processing; 4) it is of particular importance that the existing level of safety and reliability is not compromised even when changes in design and operating practices are demanded. This document is derived in essential parts from UIC 530-2, which is based on practical tests performed in ERRI-B12.
The torsional coefficient of the car body ct* is a significant parameter for the endurable longitudinal compressive force as well as for the safety against derailment on twisted track as defined in EN 14363. For this reason, a description of a measuring procedure for this parameter is included in this standard. Furthermore, for defined standard freight wagons, the possibility of a dispensation from derailment tests on twisted track according to EN 14363:2005 is defined based on already published calculated results in the diagram collection of UIC 530-2.
Variations from the conditions specified in this document are allowed as specified by Article 7 of Directive 2004/50/EC.
For national or multilateral operations the infrastructure managers concerned may authorise variations to the defined conditions.
1) A description of such vehicles is given in UIC 571-4:2004, 3.4. 2) These wagons are handled in UIC 530-2. 3) Due to their high tare mass and their short length, these wagons need no special investigation according to this standard. 4) A working group of UIC is developing the acceptance conditions for this type of wagon. It is planned to include the
regulations into this European Standard.
