scope:

This Japanese Industrial Standard specifies the methods of static load tests (hereafter referred to as test) for confirming the strength of bogie frames, beams or the combination of bogie frames and beams (hereafter referred to as bogie frames, etc.) of bogies used for a rolling stock.

This Standard does not apply to the bogie frames and beams used for special railway cars (such as a trolleybus, a monorail car, a modified-personal-rapid-transit car and a magnetically supported vehicle) which use e.g. a rubber tire; however, this Standard may apply to the use of strain gauges on the bogie frames of these cars.
