This document is applicable to all rail vehicles including OTMs and Road-rail machines, which are operated on the heavy rail network with nominal track gauge 1 435 mm and nominal static vertical wheelset forces up to 350 kN.
This document may also be applicable (partly or in full) to:
— rail systems with different track layout, e.g. urban rail systems and/or;
— rail systems with other than 1 435 mm nominal track gauge and/or;
— non-public rail networks and vehicles, e.g. mine rail systems.
NOTE For rail systems other than 1 435 mm track gauge or urban rail systems, the related post processing, limit values and test conditions could be different. They are specified nationally or individually taking into account track design and operating conditions.
This document contains methods to replace tests specified in EN 14363-2:2025, EN 14363-3:2025 and EN 14363-4:2025 by simulations and/or calculations, completely or partly or to support the assessment of rail vehicles according to this document.
