General Information
Overview
EN 14200:2004 - Railway applications – Suspension components – Parabolic springs, steel - is a European Standard published by CEN that defines the framework for using steel parabolic springs as spring elements in rail vehicles. The standard provides guidance on design principles, technical and qualitative requirements, approval procedures, quality assurance of production, required tests and inspections, and delivery conditions. EN 14200:2004 is also published and adopted by national bodies (for example as SIST EN 14200:2004).
Key Topics
This standard serves as a practical reference for the life-cycle of parabolic spring components and covers:
- Design guidance for parabolic spring elements intended for rail vehicles.
- Specification of technical and qualitative requirements, including material considerations and performance expectations.
- Approval procedures used to validate designs and accept components for use in rolling stock.
- Quality assurance of production methods to ensure consistent manufacturing and traceability.
- Tests and inspections to be performed during production and at delivery to confirm conformity.
- Delivery conditions including documentation and packaging expectations.
Keywords: EN 14200:2004, parabolic springs, railway suspension, suspension components, steel parabolic springs, rail vehicles, CEN standard.
Applications
EN 14200:2004 is directly applicable to any organization involved in the selection, design, manufacture, testing or procurement of parabolic spring elements for railway suspension systems. Typical users include:
- Rolling stock designers and vehicle dynamics engineers specifying suspension elements.
- Manufacturers and suppliers of steel parabolic springs and spring assemblies.
- Quality assurance and production control teams implementing manufacturing standards.
- Test laboratories performing mechanical and acceptance testing.
- Maintenance and asset management teams assessing replacement parts and delivery compliance.
- Procurement and certification bodies requiring documented approval and conformity evidence.
Parabolic springs standardized under EN 14200:2004 are commonly used in suspension assemblies on passenger coaches, trams, metros and freight wagons where compact, tunable spring characteristics are required.
Related Standards
- This EN standard complements other European and international standards addressing railway components, materials, testing methods and vehicle safety. Users should consult relevant EN/CEN standards and national regulations for interoperability, material specifications, fatigue testing methods and vehicle system requirements.
- National adoptions (e.g., SIST EN 14200:2004) reflect this standard’s implementation across member states.
For procurement or design work, reference EN 14200:2004 to ensure consistent technical requirements, approval procedures and quality assurance when specifying or producing steel parabolic springs for railway suspension systems.
