Overview

SIST EN 15437-1:2009/kFprA1:2022, titled Railway applications - Axlebox condition monitoring - Interface and design requirements - Part 1: Track side equipment and rolling stock axlebox, is a critical European standard developed by CEN Technical Committee CEN/TC 256. This standard specifies the interface and design requirements for axlebox condition monitoring systems, focusing on both track side equipment and the design of rolling stock axleboxes. The 2021 amendment (oprA1) updates normative references, electromagnetic interference requirements, and the relationship to EU interoperability directives.

This standard supports the essential requirements of EU Directive 2016/797 on rail system interoperability, offering a voluntary means for compliance. It is applicable to axlebox condition monitoring systems designed to enhance railway safety and reliability by timely detecting faulty axle bearings.

Key Topics

• Axlebox Condition Monitoring
  Guidance and requirements for monitoring the condition of wheelset axleboxes to detect faults like overheating or failure before they become critical.

• Track Side Equipment and Rolling Stock Interfaces
  Specifications on the interfaces between track side measurement devices and the axleboxes of railway vehicles, ensuring compatibility and reliable data communication.

• Design Requirements for Axleboxes
  Mechanical and electrical design requirements to optimize compatibility with monitoring systems and enhance durability under railway operational conditions.

• Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Control
  Updated limits on electromagnetic interference emissions from rolling stock to prevent false alarms or malfunction of the Hot Axle Box Detectors (HABD), ensuring system reliability and accuracy.

• Normative References
  Incorporates relevant standards such as EN 15273-3 (structure gauges), EN 50121 (EMC for rolling stock), and ISO 14837-1 (vibration guidance) to align axlebox monitoring with broader railway engineering frameworks.

• Compliance with EU Railway Interoperability Directive 2016/797
  Provides a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of this directive, as detailed in informative Annex ZA, relating to technical specifications for interoperability (TSI) for freight wagons, locomotives, and passenger rolling stock.

Applications

SIST EN 15437-1:2009/kFprA1:2022 applies to:

• Railway Operators and Infrastructure Managers
  Deploying and maintaining track side axlebox condition monitoring systems to improve safety and reduce derailment risks.

• Rolling Stock Manufacturers
  Designing axleboxes compatible with condition monitoring systems to meet interoperability and safety standards.

• Signal and Control System Integrators
  Ensuring that electromagnetic compatibility between rolling stock and track side detectors prevents operational disturbances.

• Maintenance Engineers
  Utilizing axlebox condition monitoring data for predictive maintenance scheduling, reducing costs and downtime.

• Regulatory Bodies and Certification Authorities
  Assessing and certifying railway equipment under EU interoperability frameworks by referencing the standard’s compliance pathways.

Related Standards

• EN 15273-3:2013+A1:2016 - Railway structure gauges ensuring mechanical compatibility of rolling stock with infrastructure.
• EN 50121-3-1:2017/A1:2019 and EN 50121-4:2015 - Electromagnetic compatibility requirements for rolling stock and signaling equipment.
• EN 50125-3:2003 - Environmental conditions specifying durability criteria for railway electronic equipment.
• ISO 14837-1:2005 - Guidance on mechanical vibrations and ground-borne noise from rail systems.
• EU Directive 2016/797 - Framework for rail system interoperability in the European Union.
