DIN EN 16404:2012-04

This standard is applicable to all railway vehicles (with the exception of On-Track Machines) that will operate under the Interoperability Directive or designated Trans-European Network (TEN) routes. However, the requirements may be appropriate for other applications that have similar operational conditions. It specifies the principles and processes to be followed to achieve satisfactory arrangements for re-railing or recovery of railway vehicles and to validate the design against the relevant performance and safety requirements.
