EN 15723:2010 (E) 4 Introduction To achieve an undisturbed, reliable and safe operation of freight trains it is essential to define common requirements for closing and locking devices of protecting devices of interoperable trains with respect to e.g. structural requirements, operating characteristics, way of operation, maintenance as well as their handling. SIST EN 15723:2011



EN 15723:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard applies to new and upgraded freight wagons where an approval is required. These protecting devices are classified into two types of load and this standard defines the requirements for the durability of the closing and locking devices, their status indication, maintenance and recycling. This standard also defines pass-fail criteria for the dimensioning tests.
NOTE Provisions going beyond the scope of these requirements should be agreed by the contracting parties involved.
This standard is not applicable to closing and locking devices which are used to ensure a pressure difference or to retain liquids /liquid payloads. It is not applicable to vehicles which are emptied by pressure, nor is it applicable to loose tarpaulins. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EXAMPLES Sliding walls, flaps, rigid sliding hoods and covers, hinged doors, bottom doors. SIST EN 15723:2011



EN 15723:2010 (E) 6 3.5 closing and locking device device for fixing a movable protecting device in a defined position 3.6 operating module freight wagon load securing or locking unit activated by operating elements NOTE An operating module can also be an operating element. 3.7 operating element element which is operated during loading/unloading EXAMPLES Removable stanchions, hand wheels, sliding walls, levers or movable tie-downs. 3.8 applied force or moment body force or moment which acts outwardly from the body NOTE 1 Applied forces or moments are operating forces. NOTE 2 In order to activate an operating element, both static and dynamic forces are applied. 3.9 percentile statement on how many participants of the test group (in percent) are able to summon up the applied force or applied moment NOTE 1 The applied forces or moments stated in the standards always refer to certain percentiles of the test group. NOTE 2 Typical values of percentiles are 1, 5, 15, 50 or 95. Here the difference between 100 and the percentile value describes the percentage of the test group, which is able to summon up more than the respective applied force or moment. When stating the 85th percentile this means for instance that 85 % of the test persons are able to carry out the described activity – and 15 % will be able to carry out more than the described activity. When stating the 15th percentile this means for instance that 15 % of the test persons are not able to carry out the described activity – and 85 % will be able to carry out the described activity. 3.10 types of load classification in two types of loads which are considered for the design of closing and locking devices
NOTE 1 These loads are either internal forces from the load itself or external forces during travelling. NOTE 2 Examples for when these loads are considered for different door types are shown in Table 1. 3.11 automatic safety device automatic device that prevents danger from wrong operation to and by the user 3.12 safeguard device device that safely locks the movable items in their defined (open, close intermediate) position preventing unintentional movements SIST EN 15723:2011

4 Requirements 4.1 General Doors and hatches of freight vehicles shall be designed to be closed and locked. This remains valid while the vehicles are in a moving train (unless this is part of the procedure for discharging the payload). Wagons fitted with special equipment (automatic discharging, opening roof, etc.) shall have instructions concerning operation of this equipment and the safety precautions to be taken, placed in a prominent position and if possible in several languages; these instructions may be accompanied by appropriate pictograms. The closing and locking devices shall be designed to withstand the loads which are caused by the payload under normal, regular conditions and when the payload has been displaced in a foreseeable manner (see Table 1, Category 1). The closing and locking devices shall be designed to withstand the loads which could effect to vehicles during operation. The side doors and the shutters of the ventilation apertures of covered wagons shall be designed to prevent wear and in service stresses causing deformation and resulting in these elements being ripped or falling off during the shunting process or while the train is moving (particularly during passing of two trains). For all types of covered wagon with sliding side doors, they shall be equipped with suitably dimensioned devices to prevent any unintended disengagement. The devices shall limit the vertical play and shall take effect in any operating condition. The forces, which are needed to actuate the closing and locking devices, shall be of a magnitude that can be applied by an operator without additional tools. Exceptions are allowable when additional tools are specifically made available or when motor driven systems are used. SIST EN 15723:2011



EN 15723:2010 (E) 8 For this, locking devices shall be used which indicate their status (open/closed) and they shall be visible by an operator outside the train. 4.2 Strength of side doors and their locking devices, sliding doors and single and multi-leafed doors under transverse loading The doors and their locking devices, when closed and locked, shall withstand a horizontal normal force from the inside of the wagon outwards, representing the forces produced by a shift in the load as well as by aerodynamic forces during operation. No permanent deformation or loss of functionality should occur, either on the door itself (wall and framework) or on the locking, sliding or guiding components as a result of these loads except where other pass-fail-criteria are defined. The load cases are shown in Annex A. 4.3 Strength of sliding walls and their locking devices The sliding walls and their locking devices, when closed and locked, should resist a horizontal cross force applied from the inside of the wagon outwards. This force represents the forces produced by a shift of the load as well as by pressure differences resulting from aerodynamic forces during operation. The load cases and pass-fail criteria are shown in A.2. 4.4 Forces resulting from the passing of trains 4.4.1 General Locking devices shall maintain their functionality. The load cases and pass-fail criteria are shown in A.3. 4.4.2 Movable roofs Movable roofs and their closing and locking devices at least shall meet the requirements as shown in Table 1, Category 2. The load cases and pass-fail criteria are shown in A.4. 4.4.3 Side doors of high-sided open wagons and their closing and locking devices
The side doors and their closing and locking devices shall maintain their functionality. The load cases and pass-fail criteria are shown in A.5. 4.4.4 Unloading doors of gravity discharge wagons and their closing and locking devices Strength of walls The walls should sustain the maximum permissible loads due to the goods they are intended to carry. The closing and locking devices shall maintain their functionality when they withstand the maximum permissible load, according to the requirements of 4.2. According to 4.2. SIST EN 15723:2011



EN 15723:2010 (E) 9 The manual forces, which are needed to actuate the closing and locking devices, shall be of a magnitude that can be applied by an operator without additional tools. Exceptions are allowable when additional tools are specifically made available or when motor driven systems are used. The requirements of EN 349 apply. Guidance concerning the determination of the maximum permissible manual forces is defined in Annex B and Annex C. 4.5 Safeguards of movable protecting devices (i.e. doors, sliding walls, sliding roofs, flaps, hoods) Movable items shall be provided with automatic safety devices to avoid any wrong movement in the course of opening and closing operations. Movable items, (i.e. doors, walls, roofs) shall be designed to be secured against unintentional movement when placed in their defined position (open, close intermediate) by safeguard devices which shall work automatically. The final positions are to be fitted with fixed stops. Movable items shall be secured positively in their final closing position against unintentional opening by forces from inside the loading space or exterior forces. Locking devices shall be used whose status (open/closed) is recognisable. Locking devices shall indicate their status in a way that can be checked from outside of the wagon. The locking devices shall be designed to be secured against unintentional opening during running. 4.6 Verification of durability and functioning Verification of durability for the locking and closing devices of movable protecting devices of Category 1 (see Table 1) is made according to the respective loads to be determined in as far as the load cases set out in Annex A do not apply. Verification of durability and functioning for locking and closing devices of movable protecting devices of Category 2 (see Table 1) is made by means of suitable measures. These can be, for example, analogy considerations concerning service-proven design solutions, computational demonstration of durability or tests. 4.7 Instructions for use
Suitable and clear instructions for use shall be applied near each locking device and shall be visible by the operator. The wagon shall bear inscriptions in one or more languages or pictograms showing the relevant information for safe operation. Specifications regarding the information and pictograms are defined in prEN 15877-1. 4.8 Environmental conditions The closing and locking devices shall fulfil as a minimum the environmental conditions applicable to the complete wagon. 4.9 Recycling The closing and locking devices shall be designed to maximise the use of recyclable materials. SIST EN 15723:2011



EN 15723:2010 (E) 10 5 Maintenance/repair Wear, failures and other damage may influence the operational safety of railway vehicles. Depending on the wear behaviour, the utilization parameters and the current condition of the railway vehicles, a maintenance system shall be set up to ensure that the safe functional performance is always achieved. This shall be included in the vehicle maintenance documentation. The closing and locking systems shall be inspected at defined maintenance periods and remedial action taken if signs of damage or malfunction are found. Areas subject to wear shall be accessible for inspection and repair. Documentation shall be provided on the areas to be inspected and the intervals of inspection. SIST EN 15723:2011



EN 15723:2010 (E) 11 Annex A (normative)
Strength requirements for wagon components and systems for payload protection A.1 General Annex A provides the requirements for the design of wagon components and systems for payload protection against environmental influences and exterior forces. The requirements shall be adopted only where they are appropriate to the intended application. The closing, rolling, guiding and locking devices shall withstand the forces transferred to them during the tests, detailed below. At the centre of the door a force of 8 kN applies over a 1 m × 1 m area. At each attachment point a force of 5 kN applies over 300 mm × 300 mm area. No permanent visible deformation or deterioration of the elements for closing, rolling, securing, guiding and locking should result from the application of these test loads. A.2 Strength of sliding walls a) Sliding walls which are less than 2,5 m long should meet the same load cases as sliding doors. b) Sliding walls from 2,5 m to 5 m long should have a 20 kN load applied at mid-wall over a 1 m × 1 m area.
Figure A.1 — Sliding walls from 2,5 m to 5 m long c) Sliding walls over 5 m < 7 m long should have a 15 kN load applied in each case at a distance of 1/4 of the sliding wall length from the end of the sliding wall and at a height of 1 m over a 1 m × 1 m area. SIST EN 15723:2011



EN 15723:2010 (E) 12
Figure A.2 — Sliding walls over 5 m < 7 m long d) Sliding walls over 7 m long should have a 20 kN load applied in each case at a distance of 1/4 of the length of the sliding wall from the end of the sliding wall and at a height of 1 m over a 1 m × 1 m area.
Figure A.3 — Sliding walls over 7 m long Plus the application of a 10 kN load on the lower flange of a sliding wall between two attachment points immediately above floor level, over an area 200 mm high by 300 mm wide.
Figure A.4 — Additional test load for sliding walls No permanent visible deformation or deterioration of the elements for closing, rolling, securing, guiding and locking should result from the application of these test loads. A.3 Forces resulting from the passing of trains A.3.1 Individual strength requirements for sliding walls and their locking devices No permanent visible deformation or deterioration of the elements for closing, rolling and guiding the wall should result from the application of the loads. A permanent deformation, equal at most to half the distance between the inner face of an opened wall and the maximum projecting point of a closed wall, is permissible. SIST EN 15723:2011



EN 15723:2010 (E) 13 Individual strength requirements for the outside attachment points of the sliding wall (front surface over an area 200 mm high and 300 mm wide): a) with two-axle wagons and with bogie wagons with more than two sliding walls per side; force = 11,5 kN; b) with bogie wagons with two sliding walls per side; force = 14 kN.
Figure A.5 — Test loads of elements for sliding walls and their locking devices The point of application should be immediately above the floor and, in the roof area, as close as possible to the upper attachment point. It is permissible for the upper load to be applied to the vertical section of the sliding wall. No permanent visible deformation or deterioration of the elements for closing, rolling, securing, guiding and locking should result from the application of these test loads. A.4 Moveable roofs Sliding roofs shall withstand a vertical force from the inside outwards of 4,5 kN per attachment point applied over a 300 mm × 300 mm square area. No deterioration or permanent deformation of the elements for closing, rolling and guiding the sliding roofs should result from this load.
The test conditions as defined in prEN 12663-2 for moveable roofs shall be applied. Following the test the locking device shall retain its function.
A.5 Strength of the side doors of high sided open wagons A horizontal force of 20 kN should be applied at a the height of the door locking bar or 1 m above the floor and on the centre-line of the opening. No permanent visible deformation or deterioration of the elements for closing, rolling, securing, guiding and locking should result from the application of these test loads. SIST EN 15723:2011
