M/591 - Rail system II

This document specifies the characteristics of wheelsets for all heavy rail track gauges.
This document is applicable to heavy rail vehicles and is applicable, in principle, to other vehicles such as urban rail vehicles.
This document is applicable to wheelsets made from elements defined by the following standards:
- EN 13262: for wheels;
- EN 13261:2024 for axles.
The requirements defined in this document are applicable to cylindrical wheel seats. Most of the requirements are also applicable to wheelsets with conical wheel seats. If needed, specific requirements for conical wheel seats (e.g. press-fitting curves, geometric dimensions...) are defined in the technical specification. Most of the requirements are also applicable to wheelsets with inboard bearings. If needed, specific requirements for inboard bearings wheelsets are defined in the technical specification.
Some characteristics are given according to category 1 or category 2.

This document is a part of a package of standards: EN 12080, EN 12081, EN 12082-1 and EN 12082-2.
This document specifies the principles and methods for deployment of the system of axlebox rolling bearing(s), housing, seal(s) and grease, required for reliable operation of trains on European networks.
It covers the conformity assessment with respect to design requirements on the rolling bearing(s) according EN 12080 and grease according EN 12081 as well as the performance of (rig) tests according to EN 12082-1. This document is historically developed for outboard applications with rotating inner rings, but can be used for vehicles with inboard bearing arrangements with rotation inner rings.
The present document describes the complete deployment procedure for new axleboxes and it specifies the necessary type and extent of testing. For certain cases and based on a documented risk assessment, a reduced deployment procedure is described.
This document only applies to axleboxes equipped with rolling bearings and greases according to EN 12080 and EN 12081.
It is not within the scope of EN 12082-2 to specify the technical details of the testing procedures, these are covered by EN 12082-1.
It is not within the scope of EN 12082-2 to define the validation procedure of box housings, sleeves or coves from a structural point of view. The relevance of these parts in the scope of this document is limited to the interaction with the axle box rolling bearing with respect to the required service.

This document is a part of a package of standards: EN 12080, EN 12081, EN 12082-1 and EN 12082-2.
This document specifies the principles and methods for a rig performance test of the system of axlebox rolling bearing(s), housing, seal(s) and grease, required for reliable operation of trains on European networks. The necessary type and extent of testing are specified by the deployment procedure specified in EN 12082 2, with respect to design requirements on the axlebox and its components.
This document covers a rig performance test, principles for a field test and a possible example for a water tightness test. Test parameters and minimum performance requirements for vehicles in operation on main lines are specified. Different test parameters and performance requirements may be selected for vehicles in operation on other networks (e.g. urban rail).
This document is historically developed for outboard applications with rotating inner rings, but can be used for vehicles with inboard bearing arrangements with rotating inner rings.
It gives some possible examples where a sequenced rig performance test addresses the broad range of different service conditions within a specific application or vehicle platform into account.

It provides measurement procedures for vehicle exterior noise (in general, a vehicle type test is carried out using only a selected subset of these tests):
—     when the vehicle is moving at constant speed;
—     when the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating;
—     when the vehicle is stationary in different operating conditions.
It does not include all the instructions to characterize the noise emission of the infrastructure related sources (bridges, crossings, switching, impact noise, curving noise, etc.).
This document does not apply to
—     the noise emission of track maintenance units while working,
—     environmental impact assessment (collection of data to be used in a prediction method for environmental assessment),

This document applies to passenger body side entrance systems of all newly designed railway vehicles such as tram, metro, suburban, main-line and high-speed trains that carry passengers. The requirements of this document also apply to existing vehicles undergoing refurbishment of the door equipment, as far as it is reasonably practicable.
This document also specifies the requirements for testing of entrance systems.
This document makes reference to manual and power operated entrance systems. For manual doors, clauses referring to power operation are not applicable.
This document does not apply to the following:
-   Entrance systems for equipment access, inspection or maintenance purposes and for crew only use;
-   Doors on freight wagons; and
-   Doors or hatches specifically provided for escape under emergency conditions.
Where passenger bodyside entrance doors are to be used for staff access, EN 16116-1:2022, EN 16186-4:2019 and EN 16186-8:2022+A1:2024 provide the details for the staff access requirements.

This document establishes requirements, test procedures, assessment methods and acceptance criteria for operating rolling stock in open track. For pressure variations and slipstream effects beside the track, requirements and assessment methods are provided. For running resistance, assessment methods are addressed in this document. Load cases on infrastructure components due to train-induced pressure variations and slipstream effects are addressed in this document. For ballasted track test set-ups for ballast projection assessment are proposed.
The requirements only apply to rolling stock of the heavy rail system with maximum train speeds above 160 km/h and not to other rail systems. The document is applicable to all rolling stock and infrastructure in open air with nominal track gauges of 1 435 mm to 1 668 mm inclusive.

This European Standard defines a set of reference masses for specifying the requirements for the design, testing, acceptance, marking, delivery and operation of rail vehicles.
The reference masses defined in this document are as follows:
-   dead mass;
-   design mass in working order;
-   design mass under normal payload;
-   design mass under exceptional payload;
-   operational mass in working order;
-   operational mass under normal payload.
These reference masses are defined with respect to the whole vehicle, but they can also apply to a specific system or component.
The specification of values for tolerances applicable to reference masses is not in the scope of this standard. Tolerances can be required by an application standard.
Additional loadings due to environmental factors, for example snow and retained or absorbed rainwater, are not in the scope of this European Standard.

This document specifies the functional, performance, and quality requirements for the interior glazing of rail vehicles including type testing, routine testing, and inspection methods for high speed rail, heavy rail, urban rail vehicles including metro and tram applications.
This document is also applicable for tram vehicles.
Determination of the size, shape, orientation and position of interior glazing is outside the scope of this document.
This document does not specify requirements for the interfaces between the interior glazing and the vehicle. Accordingly, this document does not address issues relating to installation and structural integrity.
This document does not apply to interior glazing with a surface less than 0,02 m2 and also emergency device casings (e.g. cover sheets for emergency hammers, passenger alarm systems, etc).
This document does not apply to materials other than glazing materials.
For safety reasons, where the use of a specific type of glazing is specified that is not covered by this document (e.g. bullet proof glazing, fire proof glazing, etc.), this document does not apply.
