European foreword
This document (EN 12080:2017/prA1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256
“Railway Applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 2016/797/EC.
For relationship with EU Directive 2016/797/EC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of
EN 12080:2017.

1 Modification to the European foreword
Add the following item in the list of changes:
— The use of conditioning for polymer cages is no longer mandatory and is specified in 4.2
— A clarification of deviations in marking of cylindrical roller bearings is new in 11.2 and 11.3
— The inspection plan for inclusion content in 12.1 (footnote h in Table 3) has been made clearer and
now also includes specifications for sample preparations
— The sensor definition in C.3 is now more relevant
— Conditioning can now be performed also at the bearing manufacturer (see D.2.4)
— The sample frequency for polymeric cages in D.3.1.1 is now more relevant and the terms “Approval”
and “Series” are better defined
— Table D.1 has been renamed for clarity and the requirements for “Viscosity index” and “Length of
glass fibres” have been relaxed to be more relevant
— The requirement for “Mechanical test for material approval” in Table D.1 have been changed so that
it is clear that the Charpy impact test is on “un-notched” samples and made according to the relevant
norm, the requirement for the “Bending strength on the test specimen” is changed and a clarification
on how “Thermal ageing in grease or oil bath” is performed has been added
— Footnote d in Table D.1 now allows for use of inspection certificate 3.1 and a new footnote “h” is
added to specify sampling frequency
— ISO 15512 can be used for moisture content determination in D.3.2 and a clarification on the use of
desiccator is added
— In D.3.4.3 some additions are made on how to address burrs on the edge and outside of functional
areas
— D.3.5 is rewritten to address “void clusters” and Figure D.1 is replaced
— The Annex ZA has been revised to take into account EU Directive 2016/797/EC

10 Modification to Annex D, D.3.1.1, General
Replace “Samples from the polymeric cages shall be taken from suitable points that are deemed critical
from an injection moulding perspective, such as the area connecting to the cage bar, areas with maximum
wall thickness or material agglomerations. At least one sample shall be taken from one cage. ” with:
“Samples from the polymeric cages shall be taken from suitable points that are deemed critical from an
injection moulding perspective, such as the area connecting to the cage bar, areas with maximum wall
thickness or material agglomerations. At least one sample shall be taken from one cage. Sample frequency
shall be once per batch of cages produced. Samples for test of chemical composition, viscosity index and
density can be taken once per batch of cages produced or per material batch.
