DESCRIPTION

BS EN 16235:2023


This standard BS EN 16235:2023 Railway applications. Testing for the acceptance of running characteristics of railway vehicles. Freight wagons. Conditions for dispensation of freight wagons with defined characteristics from on-track tests according to EN 14363 is classified in these ICS categories:
  • 45.060.20 Trailing stock
This document defines the process to determine the conditions under which dispensation from on-track testing according to EN 14363 can be given to freight wagons. In its application this document specifies the means by which dispensation from on-track tests is possible. This document is subordinate to EN 14363. The dispensation conditions described in this document apply to all freight wagons and non-powered special vehicles with operating conditions of freight trains, which are operated on the heavy rail network with standard gauge (1 435 mm). NOTE 1 The various rail-inclinations used in Europe (1:20, 1:40 and 1:30) are covered by the conditions for dispensation. This document is not limited to any type of freight vehicle; however, freight wagons with defined parameters and equipped with certain running gear types, which have been previously accepted, are considered to have a continuing dispensation from on-track testing. The parameters of these freight wagons and running gear are detailed within this document. NOTE 2 The test procedures described in this document (and in EN 14363) can be applied also to applications with other track gauges e.g. 1 524 mm or 1 668 mm. The limit values could be different. If established running gear are existing in such restricted networks the related ranges of running gear and vehicle parameters for dispensation from on-track tests might be specified together with the operational parameters (speed, can’t deficiency, maximum axle load) based on previous tests and operating experiences. These limit values and parameters will be specified on national level. This document only contains requirements for characteristics related to requirements for on-track tests specified in EN 14363.
