This test evaluates the construction, design, and performance specifications of disc brake equipment installed on railway vehicles. The standard establishes requirements for disc brake components including friction surfaces, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and operational reliability under normal and emergency braking conditions. Testing ensures compatibility across European rail networks and verifies component durability over extended service life. Accreditation for this test is essential for brake component manufacturers, railway operators, and maintenance facilities to demonstrate compliance with international rail safety standards and facilitate cross-border rail operations.
What it measures
Disc friction surface specifications and material composition
