Railway applications - Gauges - Part 2: Rolling Stock
This document is applicable to new vehicle designs, to modifications to existing vehicles and for checking existing vehicles to be used on another route or network.
This document contains:
- the rules for rolling stock for all defined gauges,
- the swept envelope calculation process used for defined dynamic gauges, absolute and comparative methods; process;
- the list of documents required to assess vehicle conformity to this standard.
This European standard is applicable to heavy rail vehicles using various track gauges. Other vehicles are outside the scope of this document, but the rules may be applied to them.
This European standard is not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” for track gauge 1 520 mm.
