The gauges and processes included in this standard have been developed for application on mainline railway networks using various track gauges. Other networks such as urban and suburban may apply the gauging rules defined in this standard but are outside of its scope. For a given defined gauge, the application of the rules contained in EN 15273-2, combined with corresponding parameters and reference profiles given in EN 15273-4, makes it possible to determine the maximum exterior dimensions of a vehicle (maximum vehicle construction gauge) compatible with infrastructure gauges obtained according to rules defined in EN 15273-3. For absolute and comparative gauging, the application of the rules contained within EN 15273-2, combined with infrastructure data defined in EN 15273-3 in accordance with EN 15273-1 makes it possible to determine the dimensions of a vehicle. EN 15273-2 is applicable to new vehicle designs, to modifications to existing vehicles and for checking existing vehicles to be used on another route or network. This European standard contains: — the rules for rolling stock for all defined gauges; — the swept envelope calculation process used for defined dynamic gauges, absolute and comparative methods; — the list of documents required to assess vehicle conformity to this standard. NOTE The rules given in this standard are not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” referred to in clause 4.2.3.1. (7) & (8) for track gauge 1520 mm of the merged TSI Loc and Pass ( Commission Regulation N° 1302/2014 of 18 November 2014).

The gauges and processes included in this standard have been developed for application on mainline railway networks using various track gauges. Other networks such as urban and suburban may apply the gauge rules defined in this standard but are outside of its scope. This document prEN 15273-1 contains: — the definitions and symbols for all prEN 15273 documents; — the general explanation of various elements and phenomena affecting railway gauging; — the general explanation of various calculation methods and processes applicable to railway; — gauging that allow the dimensioning of the rolling stock and the infrastructure. NOTE The rules given in this standard are not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” referred to in clause 4.2.3.1. (7) & (8) for track gauge 1520 mm of the merged TSI Loc and Pass (Commission Regulation N° 1302/2014 of 18 November 2014).

This document is a catalogue of existing gauges and provides data for static, kinematic and dynamic gauges. This document is intended to be used with prEN 15273-1, prEN 15273-2 and prEN 15273-3. Other networks, such as urban and suburban, can apply the gauging rules defined in this standard but are outside of its scope. This document provides for each gauge the associated basic data (such as track gauge, limits for cant and cant deficiency, range of lateral and vertical curvatures), formulae for the lateral and vertical projections and other reference parameters. NOTE The rules given in this standard are not applicable to the gauges "S" and "T" referred to in 4.2.3.1. (7)& (8) for track gauge 1 520 mm of the merged TSI Loc and Pass (Commission Regulation N° 1302/2014 of 18 November 2014).

This standard: — defines the various profiles needed to install, verify and maintain the various infrastructures near the infrastructure gauge; — lists the various phenomena to be taken into account to determine the infrastructure gauge; — defines a methodology that may be used to calculate the various profiles from these phenomena; — lists the rules to determine the distance between the track centres; — lists the rules to be complied with when building the platforms; — lists the rules to determine the pantograph gauge; — lists the Formulae needed to calculate the infrastructure gauge. and is applicable for various track gauges. This standard defines the gauge as an agreement between infrastructure and rolling stock, and defines the responsibilities of the following parties: a) for the infrastructure: 1) gauge clearance; 2) maintenance; 3) infrastructure monitoring. b) for the rolling stock: 1) compliance of the operating rolling stock with the gauge concerned; 2) maintenance of this compliance over time. For a given defined gauge, the application of the rules contain in this part 3, associated with useful elements contained in EN 15273-4, makes it possible to determine the minimum dimensions of an infrastructure. Therefore, this infrastructure is compatible with vehicle gauge having the same designation, and obtained according to rules defined in EN 15273-2. Other networks such as urban and suburban may apply the gauging rules defined in this standard but are outside of its scope. For absolute and comparative gauging, the application of the rules contained within EN 15273-3, combined with vehicle data defined in EN 15273-2 in accordance with EN 15273-1 make it possible to determine the dimensions of infrastructure. NOTE The rules given in this standard are not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” referred to in clause 4.2.3.1. (7) & (8) for track gauge 1520 mm of the merged TSI Loc and Pass ( Commission Regulation N° 1302/2014 of 18 November 2014).

This document is applicable to empty-loaded changeover devices designed to automatically sense when the load of a railway vehicle reaches a defined value (changeover mass), which represents the point at which the vehicle is classed as “loaded” and thereby requires the brake force to be adjusted accordingly to achieve the required brake performance. This document also covers manually operated empty-loaded changeover devices and the associated changeover plates. This document specifies the requirements for the design, dimensions, manufacture and testing of empty-loaded changeover devices.

This document applies variable load sensing devices designated to continuously sense the load of a railway vehicle and provide a signal that can be used by a relay valve for the automatic variation of the air pressure used for brake applications, thereby adjusting the brake force accordingly to achieve the required brake performance. This document specifies the requirements for the design, dimensions, manufacture and testing of automatic variable load sensing devices.

This series of standards applies to welding of metallic materials in the manufacture and maintenance of railway vehicles and their components. This part of the series defines the classification levels as well as the requirements for manufacturers of welded railway vehicles and components.

This document specifies requirements for pads for disc brakes of railway rolling stock. This document is applicable to pads designed to be fitted to disc braked rail vehicles. The brake pad may be manufactured from any material. The document defines requirements and generic test programs for brake pads. In order to qualify the brake pad performance in accordance with the classification the standard provides fixed parameter figures as categories defined in paragraph classification scheme.
