Overview

SIST EN 12663-1:2010/FprA1:2014 is a key amendment to the European standard for railway applications, specifically focusing on the structural requirements for railway vehicle bodies. Part 1 of this standard addresses locomotives and passenger rolling stock and provides an alternative assessment method for freight wagons. This amendment introduces updated requirements concerning the structural strength of these vehicles, particularly regarding the loads experienced during lifting and jacking operations. Compliance with this standard enhances the safety, reliability, and integrity of railway vehicles during maintenance and recovery procedures.

Key Topics

• Structural Strength Requirements: The amendment defines the necessary structural performance of railway vehicle bodies for enduring lifting and jacking loads without catastrophic failure.
• Design Load Cases: Updated tables and load case definitions clarify the masses and forces to consider for various vehicle categories, ensuring the robust design of their bodies.
• Recovery and Re-railing Scenarios: New requirements refer to EN 16404 for re-railing and recovery, mandating that lifting points and associated structures must endure the calculated loads for these operations.
• Safety Factors: Increased safety factors are introduced for lifting points mainly loaded in tension or where a single load path’s failure could have severe consequences.
• Alternative Validation Methods: The amendment allows validation either by calculation or direct testing, with corresponding safety factors, increasing flexibility in demonstrating compliance.

Applications

This railway standard is crucial for manufacturers, operators, and maintenance teams working with:

• Locomotives: Ensuring that locomotive bodies can safely withstand the stresses of routine lifting for inspection, maintenance, and accidental recovery.
• Passenger Rolling Stock: Applying robust design principles for passenger coaches to guarantee safe re-railing and jacking procedures, thereby improving passenger safety.
• Freight Wagons: Using an alternative assessment method to verify that freight wagons possess adequate structural strength for emergency recovery without risk of catastrophic failure.
• Maintenance and Recovery Operations: Providing guidelines for the design and assessment of lifting points and vehicle bodies, which support safe and efficient recovery processes after derailments or accidents.

By following the structural requirements and the specified safety factors, railway stakeholders can minimize operational risks during lifting and recovery procedures and comply with national and EU legal obligations.

Related Standards

• EN 12663-1:2010: The core standard specifying general structural requirements for railway vehicle bodies.
• EN 16404:2014: Specifies requirements for re-railing and recovery of railway vehicles, referenced for recovery scenarios and lifting point strength in the current amendment.
• EN 15663: Defines operational and design mass values utilized in structural calculations and load cases.
• Other CEN/TC 256 Standards: Cover additional aspects of railway rolling stock design, performance, and safety, ensuring harmonized safety and interoperability across Europe.

Practical Value

• Enhanced Safety and Reliability: By defining robust design criteria and safety factors for lifting, jacking, and recovery operations, the standard minimizes the risk of structural failure or accidents during maintenance and recovery.
• Harmonized Compliance Across the EU: Supports conformity with essential EU Directives for railway safety and structural integrity, simplifying regulatory approval.
• Guidance for Technical Assessment: Offers clear and flexible approaches for validating compliance, either analytically or by physical testing, helping manufacturers and operators select the most suitable verification process.
• Reduced Maintenance Risks: Establishes strong and clear requirements for lifting points and jacking pads, protecting both personnel and assets during vehicle handling.

SIST EN 12663-1:2010/FprA1:2014 is an essential reference for railway professionals aiming for high standards in safety and structural performance in the design, maintenance, and operation of rolling stock.

This draft amendment is submitted to CEN members for unique acceptance procedure. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 256.
This draft amendment A1, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN 12663-1:2010. If this draft becomes an amendment, CEN
members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for inclusion of this amendment
into the relevant national standard without any alteration.

This draft amendment was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made
by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has
the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United
Kingdom.
Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they are aware and to
provide supporting documentation.
