Introduction
This document gives the requirements to be met for the design, dimensioning, testing and quality
assessment of brake pad holders. These requirements cannot be written in sufficient detail to ensure
good workmanship or proper construction. Each manufacturer is therefore responsible for taking every
necessary step to make sure, that the quality of workmanship and construction is such as to ensure
accordance with good engineering practice.
1 Scope
This document defines requirements for the brake pad holders with which the heavy rail vehicles and
urban rail vehicles are fitted.
This document is applicable to the brake pad holders made from ferrous materials e.g. cast iron, cast steel
or forged steel.
This document is not applicable for brake pad holders made of non-ferrous materials.
