Bahnanwendungen - Vermessung von Güterwagen beim Neubau und bei Umbauten - Teil 3: Güterwagen mit 2 Radsätzen
In dieser Europäischen Norm sind die Anforderungen für das Vermessen von Güterwagen mit zwei Radsätzen festgelegt. Durch diese wird sichergestellt, daß Meßvorgänge nach einheitlichen Kriterien ausgeführt werden. Sie gilt für neue und umgebaute Güterwagen mit 2 Radsätzen. Über diese Anforderungen dieser Norm hinausgehende Forderungen sind zwischen den Vertragspartnern zu vereinbaren. Durch das Vermessen ist festzustellen, ob die Abweichungen von den Nennmaßen innerhalb der in den Teilen 2 bis 6 dieser Normenreihe festgelegten Toleranzen liegen.
Applications ferroviaires - Mesure des wagons lors de leur construction et lors de modifications - Partie 3 : Wagons à deux essieux
La présente Norme européenne précise les exigences concernant les mesures sur les wagons à deux essieux, qui assurent que les opérations de mesure sont effectuées en fonction de critères unifiés. Elle est applicable aux wagons à deux essieux neufs ou modifiés. Les prescriptions allant au-delà de la dite Norme doivent faire l'objet d'un contrat entre les parties concernées.
Les opérations de mesure se rapportent aux châssis dans leur totalité, avec ou sans superstructure, ou à certaines parties de ceux-ci lorsque leur conception géométrique ne permet pas de faire autrement. Il y a lieu, le cas échéant, de procéder à des opérations de mesure supplémentaires, non prévues ici, qui doivent être déterminées au cas par cas.

Overview
EN 13775-3:2003 (CEN) - "Railway applications - Measuring of new and modified freight wagons - Part 3: Freight wagons with 2 wheelsets" sets out uniform measurement requirements for new and modified two‑axle freight wagons. The standard ensures consistent measuring processes for underframe geometry, coupler and buffer positions, suspension bracket locations and running‑gear interfaces. It applies to whole or part measurements of underframes (with or without add‑ons) and requires agreement between contracting parties when other methods or extended provisions are needed.
Key topics and requirements
- Main reference axis: Defines how to determine and mark the wagon main reference axis using intersecting arcs from suspension bracket centres (measuring process 1).
- Underframe geometry: Straightness and deviation checks in transverse (y) and vertical (z) directions, with example tolerances such as straightness y1 = 5 mm and longitudinal deviations z1 typically ±5 mm for end points (measuring processes 2–4).
- Headstocks and overall length: Squareness of headstocks to the main axis (x1 ≤ 5 mm) and length over headstocks (x2 tolerance +10/0 mm) (measuring processes 5–6).
- Coupler and buffer locations: Position and rectangularity of coupler housings, stroke/stop distances and coupler seat widths (various x, y, z dimensions with tight tolerances-e.g., coupler symmetry y3 ≤ 4 mm) (measuring processes 7–10).
- Suspension and running gear: Detailed requirements for suspension bracket bore positions, distortion measurements in a 3‑point support condition, diagonal distances and spacing between bracket pairs (measuring processes 12–17).
- Axleguard / hornblock liners: Longitudinal and transverse symmetry, squareness and relative distances (measuring processes 18–23).
- Documentation and annexes: Annex A (normative) provides a control sheet form for recording results; Annex B gives informative guidance for running‑gear measuring processes; Annex C lists terminology. Precondition: follow EN 13775-1 measuring principles.
Applications and users
This standard is used by:
- Freight wagon manufacturers (design verification and production control)
- Workshop and maintenance staff (inspection and requalification after modification)
- Notified inspection bodies and certification authorities (compliance checks)
- Railway operators and contracting parties (technical acceptance, international interoperability)
Practical benefits include consistent dimensional control, reduced risk of assembly or operational faults, and harmonised acceptance criteria across CEN member states.
