Overview

This European Standard gives requirements for the design, dimensions, performance, and testing of a brake block (otherwise known as brake shoe insert) that acts on the wheel tread as part of a tread brake system including requirements for reducing noise emission. This European Standard specifies the height, tolerances and the mean and instantaneous friction coefficients. It gives guidance for production monitoring including product and material testing. This European Standard applies to composite brake blocks used on the rolling stock of public and private railway companies.
