State of railway vehicles - Superstructure and special equipment of vehicles - Part 7: Rancher
Abstract
Wear, failures, and other damage affect the operational safety of railway vehicles. Depending on wear behavior, operating parameters, the current condition of the railway vehicles, and economic efficiency, a maintenance system must be established to ensure that the required technical target condition is maintained. The documents in the complete work “State of railway vehicles (de: Zustand der Eisenbahnfahrzeuge)” contain technical specifications for safety-relevant systems and components of railway vehicles that require monitoring. These documents define the limit state for the safe operation of railway vehicles and their components. They are to be applied if the vehicles are operated on public railway infrastructure. The minimum requirements for processes to maintain the target condition of railway vehicles set out in this document must also be applied. In addition, these documents must also be taken into account in new designs if design measures are required to ensure compliance with the operating limit criteria. DIN 27202-7, "State of railway vehicles - Superstructure and special equipment of vehicles - Part 7: Rancher", specifies the designs and requirements for Ranchers for railway vehicles for safe operation. In the case of deviating designs, this document applies mutatis mutandis. The following changes have been made compared to DIN 27202-7:2015-08: a) Adjustment of the scope of application; b) Update of normative references; c) Update of the bibliography; d) Editorial revision. This document was developed by subcommittee NA 087-00-15-02 UA “Superstructure and special equipment of vehicles (de:Fahrzeugaufbau und Sondereinrichtungen)” of working committee NA 087-00-15 AA “State of railway vehicles (Zustand der Eisenbahnfahrzeuge)” in the DIN standards committee “Track and rail vehicles (de: DIN-Normenausschuss Fahrweg und Scjienenfahrzeuge)” (FSF) in coordination with other working committees of the FSF and the “German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies (de: Deutschen Kommission Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik” (DKE).
