To ensure safety and interoperability, this document gives:
  • — the limits for in-service and off-vehicle wheelsets;
  • — the operations to be carried out for which the specific values (and/or criteria) remain to be defined in the maintenance plan.
This document applies to wheelsets and axleboxes complying with the following European standards:
  • — EN 13103‑1:2017+A1:2022 ;
  • — EN 13260:2020 , EN 13261:2020, EN 13262:2020;
  • — EN 13979‑1:2023 ;
  • — EN 13715:2020 ;
  • — EN 13749:2021+A1:2023 ;
that comprise:
  • — the axle fitted with wheels of diameters greater than or equal to 330 mm;
  • — axleboxes with bearings and grease.
This document is also applicable to wheelsets:
  • — fitted with brake discs, final drive, transmission or noise-damping systems, as appropriate;
  • — not complying with the above European standards, but complying with the international requirements in force, for example in UIC leaflets, before the approval of these standards;
  • — with tyred wheels;
  • — with resilient wheels.
For equipment not covered by Directive (EU) 2016/797, this European Standard can be applied, noting that different values can be used.
All dimensions in this document are in millimetres (mm).
It is necessary to describe in a specific document the tasks to be performed in order to maintain wheelsets within the limits defined therein.

NOTE The specific values and criteria are defined in an appropriate maintenance plan.
