European foreword
This document (prEN 13260:2023) was prepared by the CEN/TC 256 “Railway Applications”
Technical Committee, the secretariat of which is held by the DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13260:2020.
In comparison with the previous edition EN 13260:2020, the following technical modifications
have been made:
— correction of several editing mistakes leading to technical misunderstandings;
— a clearer definition of the requirements for dynamic imbalance (4.2.4) and fatigue tests
(4.2.2);
— a clarification of the product qualification conditions (Annex D);
— a clearer definition of the allowable rectifications of the wheelset after assembly (E.5).
This document has been prepared under a standardization request given to CEN/CENELEC by the
European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports essential
requirements of Directive (EU) 2016/797.
For the relationship with Directive (EU) 2016/797, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral
part of this document.
Introduction
After several years of use of the first editions of this document, this new edition includes
improvements and additional data.
The product requirements have been harmonized across all three standards for wheelsets, wheels
and axles.
In addition, the annexes concerning product qualification and the conditions of product supply,
which were previously informative, were modified taking into account feedback and have become
normative.
Due to significant in-service feedback on wheelsets in accordance with European Product Design
and Qualification Standards, the fatigue test for the assembly is now limited in this revision to
specific assembly designs and processes.
Annex A, with the press-fitting curves, contains much more detail than the previous version.
Annex C contains information for identifying wheelset components on the basis of standard
EN 15313:2016. In addition, the “Freight Wagons” and “Locomotive and Passenger Vehicles”
Rolling Stock TSIs require that a production verification process exists.
