Railway applications - Wheelsets and bogies - Wheels - Product requirements
This European Standard specifies the characteristics of railway wheels for use on European networks.
Four steel grades, ER6, ER7, ER8 and ER9 are defined in this standard; for European freight wagon interoperability purposes only grades ER6, ER7 and ER8 are applicable.
NOTE 1 Grade ER6 is not normally fit for the duty of application to freight wagons; it is normally applied in low axleload situations.
Certain characteristics are defined according to a category 1 or a category 2. Category 1 is generally chosen when the train speed is higher than 200 km/h. Freight vehicles running at speeds lower than 200 km/h generally use wheels of Category 2.
These categories can sometimes be subdivided, depending upon the characteristics.
This standard is applicable to solid forged and rolled wheels which are made from vacuum degassed steel and have a chilled rim. They are to have already been used in commercial conditions on a European network in a significant quantity, or to have satisfied a technical approval procedure according to EN 13979-1 for their design.
NOTE 2 The definition of other wheels may be found in other documents, such as UIC leaflets or ISO standards.
NOTE 3 The technical approval procedure is not within the scope of this standard.
NOTE 4 Rim-chilled describes heat treatment of the rim, the aim of which is to harden the rim and to create compressive residual stresses in the rim.

Overview
EN 13262:2004/FprA2 is a CEN European Standard that specifies product requirements for railway wheels used on European networks. It defines the material, manufacturing and performance characteristics for solid forged and rolled wheels made from vacuum-degassed steel with a rim‑chilled heat treatment. The standard supports interoperability and safety requirements under EU Directive 2008/57/EC and is referenced in Rolling Stock TSIs for high‑speed, passenger and freight rolling stock.
Key topics and requirements
- Steel grades: Four wheel steel grades are defined - ER6, ER7, ER8 and ER9. For European freight-wagon interoperability purposes, ER6, ER7 and ER8 are applicable. (ER6 is typically for low axleload/low-duty situations and not normally used for standard freight wagons.)
- Service categories: Characteristics are classified into Category 1 and Category 2 (with possible subdivisions). Category 1 is generally selected for trains running above 200 km/h; Category 2 is typical for freight vehicles operating below that speed.
- Material and treatment: Applicable wheels must be vacuum-degassed and have a chilled rim (rim hardening to create compressive residual stresses).
- Proven design / approval: Wheels must have been used commercially in significant quantities on a European network or obtained technical approval for design according to EN 13979-1. Note: the technical approval procedure itself is outside the scope of EN 13262.
- Functional and dimensional characteristics: The standard covers mechanical, geometrical and wheel/rail interface characteristics that affect vehicle dynamic behaviour, braking and compatibility with track and infrastructure.
Applications
- Ensures interoperability of wheels across European networks (high‑speed, passenger, locomotives and freight wagons).
- Used to specify wheel materials and construction in procurement, design and maintenance documents.
- Supports conformity assessment and type approval for rolling stock components when cited by TSIs and national implementations of EU directives.
Who should use this standard
- Wheel manufacturers and foundries
- Rolling‑stock designers and integrators
- Railway operators and fleet managers
- Maintenance and workshop engineers responsible for wheelset replacements
- Certification, approval and testing laboratories
- Procurement and technical specifications teams
Related standards
- EN 13979-1 (technical approval procedure for wheel design)
- UIC leaflets and relevant ISO standards (for other wheel definitions and complementary requirements)

This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN/CENELEC/ETSI by the European
Commission to provide a means of conforming to Essential Requirements of the New Approach Directive
2008/57/EC .
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive and has been
implemented as a national standard in at least one Member State, compliance with the clauses of this
standard given in Table ZA.1 for High Speed Rolling Stock, Table ZA.2 for Freight Wagons and Table ZA.3 for
Locomotives and Passenger Rolling Stock, confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a
presumption of conformity with the corresponding Essential Requirements of that Directive and associated
EFTA regulations.
The Directive 2008/57/EC adopted on 17 June 2008 is a recast of the previous Directives 96/48/EC ‘Interoperability of
the trans-European high-speed rail system’ and 2001/16/EC ‘Interoperability of the trans-European c
