Railway applications - Vehicle reference masses

This European Standard defines a set of reference masses for specifying the requirements for the design, testing, acceptance, marking, delivery and operation of rail vehicles.
The reference masses defined in this document are as follows:
-   dead mass;
-   design mass in working order;
-   design mass under normal payload;
-   design mass under exceptional payload;
-   operational mass in working order;
-   operational mass under normal payload.
These reference masses are defined with respect to the whole vehicle, but they can also apply to a specific system or component.
The specification of values for tolerances applicable to reference masses is not in the scope of this standard. Tolerances can be required by an application standard.
Additional loadings due to environmental factors, for example snow and retained or absorbed rainwater, are not in the scope of this European Standard.

Replace “There are no normative references in this document” with the following:
“The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements 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.

Replace “For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.” with the following:
“For the purposes of this document, the terms and definition defined in EN 17343:2020 and the following
terms and definitions apply.”
Add the following new terms and definitions”:

dead mass
mass of the vehicle in the 'as built' condition without consumables and without staff
Note 1 to entry: 4.3 gives a detailed definition.
3.1.12
working order
typical payload seen on a regular basis

condition) as given in Table 6.
Note 2 to entry: This state is also described as unladen or tare,
3.1.13
normal payload
quantity of mass that is assumed to be lost in service due to abrasion and mechanical wear
Note 1 to entry: The normal payload depends on the vehicle condition (design or operational condition) as given
in Table 4.
Note 2 to entry: 4.4 gives a detailed definition.
Note 3 to entry: For freight vehicles, the payload is always taken as the maximum payload as specified in the
loading table of the vehicle.
3.1.14
exceptional payload
maximum possible payload that can be carried and that will be experienced only under exceptional
conditions
Note 1 to entry: The exceptional payload is only defined for the design condition.
Note 2 to entry: 4.4 gives a detailed definition.,

operational condition
assumed average state when in service
3.1.17
special purpose mass
mass, specified in an application standard based on the reference mass definitions in accordance with
this standard
Note 1 to entry: In accordance with this definition, a reference mass used directly by an application standard is
not considered as a special purpose mass.
Note 2 to entry: 4.6 gives detailed information about the application mass definitions,

3 Modifications to 3.2, “Abbreviations”
Replace “The unused letters of the alphabet are available to denote a mass or payload condition that is
defined by an application standard (see 4.6).”
with the following:
“The unused letters of the alphabet are available to denote a special purpose mass or payload condition
that is defined by an application standard (see 4.6).”
Replace “If the default values for standing areas in passenger and catering areas set out in 7.2 and 7.3 are
2
not used, the abbreviations shall be extended to indicate the values used in kg/m (e.g. MXD160).”
with the following:
“If the default values for standing areas in passenger and catering areas set out in 7.2 and 7.3 are not used,
2
the abbreviations shall be extended to indicate the particular values used in kg/m (e.g. MXD160).”
4 Modifications to 4.1, “General”
Delete “The design condition is a theoretical state for analysis and calculation; the operational condition
is an assumed average state when in service.”
Replace
“Methods are given in this document together with standard values and assumptions to be used. It is
permissible to deviate from the standard values within the ranges given in 7.2 and 7.3. The vehicle
specification together with an application standard gives these deviations.”
with the following:
“Methods are given in this document together with values and assumptions to be used. It is permissible
to deviate from the standard default values and specify particular values within the ranges given in 7.2
and 7.3. The vehicle specification together with an application standard gives these deviations.
In specifying particular values for determining reference masses, consideration should be given to:
— consistency between payload states. For example, if the mass per square metre is modified for an
exceptional payload, the value to be used for normal payload might also require modification;
— ensuring that any reference mass is applied consistently to applicable system components (for
example body loads and bogie loads).”

staff (see Clause 5)”
6 Modifications to 4.6, “Additional or alternative mass definitions and payload
states”
Replace title of 4.6 “Additional or alternative mass definitions and payload states” with the following:
“Special purpose mass definitions and payload states”
Replace
“Non-standard reference masses, specified as additional or alternative mass or payload states shall be
defined and justified in the application standard. In such cases the mass and payload definitions set out
in 4.4 and 4.5 should be used as a basis wherever possible. This can be achieved for example by applying
factors or by including a specific mass or payload increment. In such cases, a suitable notation should be
defined following the principles of the system set out in 3.2. For this notation, the unused letters of the
alphabet are available. In specifying particular values for determining reference masses, consideration
should be given to:
— consistency between payload states. For example, if the mass per square metre is modified for an
exceptional payload, the value to be used for normal payload might also require modification;
— ensuring that any reference mass is applied consistently to applicable system components (for
example body loads and bogie loads).”
with the following:
“If technically necessary, special purpose masses or payload states shall be defined and justified in the
application standard.
EXAMPLE “Maximum braking load” as defined and used in EN 16185-1:2014+A1:2020 is an example of a
special purpose mass specified by this application standard.
In such cases the mass and payload definitions set out in 4.4 and 4.5 should be used as a basis wherever
possible. This can be achieved for example by applying factors or by including a specific mass or payload
increment. In such cases, a suitable notation should be defined following the principles of the system set
out in 3.2. For this notation, the unused letters of the alphabet are available.”
