Overview
This standard has been prepared by Subcommittee NA 087-00-15-01 UA "Grundlagen und Fertigungstechnologien" ("Terms and definitions for the reliable state of railway vehicles") of Working Committee NA 087-00-15 AA "Zustand der Eisenbahnfahrzeuge" ("State of railway vehicles") at the DIN Standards Committee Railway (FSF) in coordination with other Working Committees of FSF and of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) and provides for safety-related specifications. The standards of the complete works "State of railway vehicles" represent a uniform and system-compatible normative document which specifies the limit state for the safe operation and processes to maintain the target state of standard gauge railway vehicles. All documents of the complete works are listed in DIN 27200, Supplement 1. DIN 27201 "State of railway vehicles - Basic principles and production technology" consists of: - Part 1: Procedures for preparation and modification of maintenance programmes - Part 2: Proof of maintenance - Part 3: Test run - Part 4: Treatment of railway vehicles following hazardous incidents - Part 5: Assessment parameters and requirements of the distribution of wheel forces and vertical wheelset forces of railway vehicles - Procedure for checking and settings (title modified) - Part 6: Welding - Part 7: Non-destructive testing - Part 8: Adhesive bonding (the draft E DIN 27201-8 shall be integrated into the project DIN 6701-4.) - Part 9: Measuring - Part 10: Thermal spraying - Part 11: Procedure for preparation of fault tolerance concept - Part 12: Mandatory supervision equipment permanently installed in railway vehicles - Part 13: Maintenance of fibre composite components (in preparation). The owner and the railway transport company (EVU) are obliged to run their business safely and to operate vehicles and accessories so that persons and objects are protected from damage. Following hazardous incidents with railway vehicles, immediate elimination of the results of the incident shall arranged to be able to quickly resume execution of railway operations. The general field of application of this standard is specified in DIN 27200:2011-11, Clause 1 and 3.1. This standard applies for the treatment of railway vehicles at the location of the incident after the following hazardous incidents: - impact; - derailment; - collision; - crash. Compared with DIN 27201-4:2004-10, the following modifications have been made: a) foreword adjusted; b) revision of the introduction: owner and railway transport company added; c) revision of the scope; d) 4.6 "Dangerous goods" revised; e) revision of 5.4 "Proof of operability"; f) revision of Table A.1 - among others, modifications regarding the components wheelset axle, wheelset drives and breaking systems; g) revision of A.2 - AR IST as measured wheel distance incorporated and Table A.2 newly incorporated; h) editorially revised.
