DIN 27201-6:2017-05

The standards of the entire 'State of the railway vehicle' contained technical specifications for safety-relevant systems and components of railway vehicles (control vehicles according to DIN 25003) which are in need of supervision. This standard specifies the principles and terms for the application of the standards of the 'State of the railways' as a whole. This standard applies to the special features of the welding technology of railway vehicles. The standards of the 'State of the railway vehicle' as a whole define the limit state for the safe operation of railway vehicles of the normal track width and their components. They shall be applied where the vehicles are operated on a public railway infrastructure. The minimum requirements laid down in the standards for the processes for observing the desired condition of the railway vehicles are also to be applied. In addition, the standards must also be observed in the new design if constructive precautions are to be taken to comply with the operating limit criteria. NOTE 1 The structural design for a maintenance-friendly check of the operating limits must be considered. NOTE 2 The applicability of the standards of the complete vehicle to railway vehicles of other track widths and their components shall be examined in each case.
