Railway applications - Braking - Automatic variable load sensing devices

This document applies to automatic variable load sensing devices designed to continuously sense the load of a railway vehicle and provide a pneumatic output signal that can be used by a relay valve for the automatic variation of the air pressure used for brake applications, thereby adjusting the brake force accordingly to achieve the required brake performance.
This document specifies the requirements for the design, testing and quality assurance of automatic variable load sensing devices.
The requirements of this document are not fully applicable for tests on vehicle level (vehicle homologation tests).

Bahnanwendungen - Bremse - Automatisch kontinuierlich wirkende Lasterfassungseinrichtungen

Dieses Dokument ist für automatisch kontinuierlich wirkende Lasterfassungseinrichtungen anzuwenden, die so beschaffen sind, dass sie die Last eines Eisenbahnfahrzeugs kontinuierlich erfassen und ein pneumatisches Ausgangssignal erzeugen, das von einem Relaisventil für die automatische Anpassung des für eine Bremsbetätigung verwendeten pneumatischen Drucks benutzt werden kann, wodurch die Bremskraft zur Erzielung der geforderten Bremsleistung entsprechend angepasst wird.
Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an die Konstruktion, Prüfung und Qualitätssicherung von automatisch kontinuierlich wirkenden Lasterfassungseinrichtungen fest.
Die Anforderungen dieses Dokuments sind für Prüfungen auf der Fahrzeugebene (Fahrzeugzulassungsprüfungen) nicht vollständig anwendbar.

Applications ferroviaires - Freinage - Dispositifs de pesée variable automatiques

Le présent document s’applique aux dispositifs de pesée variable automatiques conçus pour détecter en continu la charge d’un véhicule ferroviaire et fournir un signal de sortie pneumatique utilisable par un relais pneumatique pour adapter de façon automatique la pression d’air utilisée pour le freinage, ajustant ainsi l’effort de freinage en conséquence pour obtenir les performances de freinage requises.
Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives à la conception, aux essais et à l’assurance qualité des dispositifs de pesée variable automatiques.
Les exigences du présent document ne sont pas entièrement applicables aux essais au niveau du véhicule (essais d’homologation du véhicule).

European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references
concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CEN
member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by
translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management
Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
