What is BS EN 15827 - Requirements for bogies and running gears about?

BS EN 15827 is a European standard for railway applications. BS EN 15827 outlines all the separate requirements specified in rolling stock TSIs and European Standards relating to bogies and running gear together into an overall requirement and process to ensure a functional and safe design is achieved for a defined operating envelope. The objective of BS EN 15827 is to bring all these separate design criteria together. This is accomplished by specifying the design and validation processes to be used for bogies and running gear with a particular focus on the two key disciplines of dynamic behaviour and structural integrity. To ensure that safe operation can be continued throughout the product’s life the definition of a maintenance plan is also required. BS EN 15827 applies to bogies and running gear intended for vehicles that l operate under the Interoperability Directives on designated TEN routes. The requirements, however, can be used in other applications at the discretion of the interested parties. BS EN 15827 also outlines the requirements to achieve a satisfactory design of bogie or running gear and to validate the design against the relevant performance and safety criteria. Technical requirements are specified directly or by referring to the relevant European standards and ...
