Railway applications - Testing and simulation for the acceptance of running characteristics of railway vehicles operated on the heavy rail network - Part 3: Stationary tests not obligatory on a European level

This document applies to all rail 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. Note: For such 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 rail vehicles according to stationary test methods that are not obligatory on European level. It includes information about the field of possible applications.
