scope:

This document defines the process to determine the conditions under which dispensation from on-track testing according to EN 14363, Clause 5 can be given. In its application this document specifies the means by which dispensation from on-track tests is possible. This standard is subordinate to EN 14363. This document is not limited to any type of freight vehicle, however certain types, which have been previously accepted under the auspices of UIC are considered have a continuing dispensation from on-track testing. These freight vehicles are detailed within this document. The dispensation conditions described in this document apply to all freight vehicles used in international, multilateral or national rail freight transportation, which operate without restriction on standard gauge tracks (1 435 mm). The various rail-inclinations used in Europe (1:20, 1:40 and 1:30) are covered by the conditions for dispensation. This standard only contains requirements for characteristics related to the requirements in EN 14363, Clause 5.
