European foreword
This document (prEN 14363-3:2025) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway
Applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document together with prEN 14363-1:2025, prEN 14363-3:2025, prEN 14363-4:2025 and
prEN 14363 5:2025, will supersede EN 14363:2016+A2:2022.
The EN 14363 Series “Railway applications — Testing and Simulation for the assessment of running
characteristics of rail vehicles operated on the heavy rail network” consists of the following parts:
— prEN 14363-1:2025, General;
— prEN 14363-2:2025, Safety against derailment on twisted track;
— prEN 14363-3:2025, Stationary tests that are not obligatory on European level;
— prEN 14363-4:2025, On-track testing;
— prEN 14363-5:2025, Simulations/calculations;
— prCEN/TR 14363-6:2025, Technical Report providing background information to the EN 14363 series
of standards (under development).
Introduction
General information for the application of this document is given in prEN 14363-1:2025.
1 Scope
This document applies to all railway vehicles including OTM’s and Road-rail machines, which are
operated on the heavy rail network with standard track gauge 1 435°mm and nominal static vertical
wheelset forces up to 350 kN.
This document may also be applicable (partly or in full) to:
— rail systems with different track layout, e.g. urban rail systems and/or;
— rail systems with other than 1 435 mm nominal track gauge and/or;
— non-public rail networks and vehicles, e.g. mine rail systems.
NOTE For rail systems other than 1 435 mm track gauge or urban rail systems, the related post analysis, limit
values and test conditions could be different. They are specified nationally taking into account track design and
operating conditions.
This document contains the assessment of railway vehicles according to stationary test methods that are
not obligatory on European level:
— determination of displacement characteristics;
— loading of the diverging branch of a switch;
— running safety in curved crossings for vehicles with small wheels;
— safety against derailment under longitudinal compressive forces in S-shaped curves.
It includes information about the field of possible applications.
