Overview

EN 13802:2013 - "Railway applications - Suspension components - Hydraulic dampers" (CEN) is the European standard that specifies requirements, test methods and specification procedures for hydraulic dampers and their end mountings used on rail vehicles. The standard covers dampers that control vehicle dynamics (primary/secondary suspension, yaw, roll, inter-vehicle) and dampers for mechanical systems (pantograph and motor dampers). All subject‑specific terminology, interfaces and lifecycle considerations are defined to ensure interoperability, safety and performance.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and terminology: Definitions of damper types, orientation, axes and key symbols used throughout the standard.
  • Method of specifying: Guidance for documenting operational environment, technical requirements and product data to unambiguously specify a damper.
  • Operational environment: Service conditions, climatic exposure, special environmental conditions and vibrational exposure requirements.
  • Physical characteristics: Strength, surface protection, fire resistance, noise, leakage, dimensions, stroke and mass requirements for dampers and end mountings.
  • Functional requirements: Orientation, nominal and maximum forces/velocities, force–displacement and force–velocity characteristics, dynamic behaviour and priming.
  • Test methods: Detailed test procedures for operational, physical and functional verifications including test temperatures, test machines and sample requirements.
  • Production control and quality: Product verification, serial testing, conformity assessment, traceability and monitoring of production quality.
  • Marking, packaging and maintainability: Requirements for permanent marking (including orientation-specific marking), packaging and maintenance considerations.
  • Informative annexes: Specification templates, recommended damper dimensions, nominal velocities, characteristic examples, test velocity guidance and conformity procedures.

Applications

EN 13802:2013 is used to:

  • Specify and procure hydraulic dampers for new rolling stock and retrofit programs.
  • Design suspension systems (primary/secondary dampers, yaw/roll dampers) and mechanical subsystem dampers (pantograph, motor).
  • Develop acceptance tests and type/serial testing programs to verify damper performance.
  • Define interfaces and end‑mounting dimensions to ensure interchangeability across suppliers.
  • Assess lifecycle and environmental performance (durability, leakage, noise and surface protection).

Who should use this standard

  • Rolling stock manufacturers and design engineers
  • Damper and suspension component suppliers/OEMs
  • Railway system integrators and procurement teams
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies
  • Maintenance planners and fleet engineers
  • Regulatory authorities overseeing vehicle acceptance
