EVS-EN 15313:2016

To ensure safety and interoperability, this Standard 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 European Standard applies to wheelsets and axle boxes complying with the following European Standards:
-  EN 13103, EN 13104;
-  EN 13260, EN 13261, EN 13262;
-  EN 13979-1;
-  EN 13715;
-  EN 13749.
that comprise:
-  the axle mounted with wheel diameters greater than or equal to 330 mm;
-  axle boxes with bearings and grease.
This European Standard 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 2008/57/EC, this European Standard may be applied, noting that different values may be used.
All dimensions in this Standard 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.
