Overview
This European Standard specifies requirements for the design, dimensions, performance, and testing of brake discs secured at the axle or drive-shaft of railway rolling stock by a cylindrical or conic tapered interference fit. For each discrete unit so fitted, one or more disc brake rings, each having two axially separated friction faces, may be deployed. This European Standard applies to brake discs designed to be fitted to rail vehicles used on the main national networks, urban networks, underground railways, trams and private networks (regional railways, company railways, etcetera). Amendment A1 to this standard is intended for adaptation of the new Directive 2008/57/EC on the interoperability to the body of standards.
