EN 16860:2019 (E) 5 3.4 removable fastenings fastenings or a combination of several fastenings utilized to restrain or secure payload, which are not a fixed part of the wagon 3.5 positive-fit fit by which the payload is secured by ensuring there is no intermediate space or by filling the remaining space with packing or by preventing movement 3.6 force-fit fit by which the payload is secured by increasing the friction between payload and the loading surface 3.7 controlled sliding payload that they may slide on the wagon loading surface lengthways in a restricted manner 3.8 Alphacode combination of capitals and small types to define typical standard wagons according to UIC 438-2 4 Requirements for securing of payload 4.1 General The payload shall be distributed as uniformly as possible and secured against uncontrolled movement to avoid negative interferences to axle/wheel loads, loading gauge and brake performance. The following requirements shall be observed at all times: a) The following ratios for axle or wheel load shall not be exceeded: — 2: 1
axle load ratio in longitudinal direction for two-axle wagons; — 3: 1
bogie load ratio in longitudinal direction for bogie wagons; — 1: 1,25 load ratio in lateral direction also for a wheelset; NOTE Examples for calculations can be found in UIC Loading rules. In all above mentioned cases the single permissible wheel load shall not be exceeded. b) Criteria for stability, whereby heavy and lighter goods are to be arranged so that the payload centre of gravity should be as low as possible to reduce the likelihood of tipping and loss of payload. c) Payload shall not prevent opening, closing and locking of sliding doors, sliding walls and opening roofs. d) Doors, closure devices and hatches which are used for loading and unloading of payload shall be securely closed during transport, see EN 15723. e) All other equipment for securing payload shall be stowed in a safe manner. SIST EN 16860:2019



EN 16860:2019 (E) 6 f) Goods that are able to be lifted upwards by aerodynamic or vibration effects shall be covered by appropriate equipment (e.g. tarpaulin, net). The aim of this device is to avoid pollution and the loss of payload. In any case they cannot be used to increase the capacity of the wagon. 4.2 Requirements that arise from the following influencing factors 4.2.1 Type of wagon and operation The characteristics of the wagon and its operation shall be considered when applying this standard. 4.2.2 Infrastructure Wagons and payloads shall be in accordance with the infrastructure requirements such as: — Permissible Line Category according to EN 15528; — For vehicles the permissible infrastructure gauges (reference profiles) according to EN 15273-3; — For payload (on flat wagons) the published loading gauge profile of the Infrastructure Manager. Infrastructure is considered as classification of lines, track quality, switches, crossings, curves and gauges defined by the location of the obstacles. NOTE Deviations can be agreed by the responsible parties (e.g. infrastructure manager, railway undertaking). 4.2.3 Payload The properties of the wagon shall correspond with the features of the payload. These features are: — geometrical conditions (e.g. centre of gravity); — unit loads or bulk; — weight or density; — dimension; — temperature. Changes in volume and weight caused by the influence of weather or loads caused during transport are also to be taken into consideration. 4.2.4 Loads 4.2.4.1 General Loads arising during transport shall be taken into account. These loads shall be taken as acting independently and arise in the: — longitudinal direction (x-axis) to the wagon; — lateral direction (y-axis) to the wagon; — vertical direction (z-axis) to the wagon. The directions of these loads are in accordance with the EN 12663 series. SIST EN 16860:2019



EN 16860:2019 (E) 7 The time for which the above forces are exerted is approximately 1/10 s (acceleration measurements filtered at 15-20 Hz). Where securing devices are dimensioned by calculation, these forces should be considered quasi-static for the purposes of securing payloads. Applied values for acceleration are: g = 9,81 m/s2. 4.2.4.2 In longitudinal direction The resulting applicable loads are the payload mass multiplied with the following applicable acceleration values: — Acceleration values for payload which is rigidly secured: — 4g≤×: single wagon an≤ g±o×ps of wagons in no±mal sh×nting con≤itions; This loa≤ applies to the fixings fo± the sec×±ing of the loa≤ to the s×ppo±ting st±×ct×±e of the vehicle b×t not the vehicle en≤s. — 1g≤×: wagons not s×bject to h×mp an≤ fly sh×nting an≤ wagons with long-st±oke shock abso±be±s o± ×sing app±ove≤ p±oce≤×±es to ±e≤×ce the applie≤ loa≤s ≤×±ing t±ansit. — Val×es fo± payloa≤ which can sli≤e lengthways in the wagon: — 1g≤×: single wagon an≤ g±o×ps of wagons in no±mal sh×nting con≤itions. 4.2.4.3 In lateral direction 05,g≤× 4.2.4.4 in vertical direction ()103,g≤±× Vertical forces in an upwards direction reduce friction, and thus encourage the displacement of the payload. The lateral and vertical forces exerted on the payload during transport are caused by vibrations at 2 Hz – 8 Hz. NOTE Applicable friction coefficients and safety factors are defined in the technical specification. Examples of these can be found in the EN 12195 series. 5 Methods/Principles for loading and securing of payload 5.1 General NOTE 1 Examples for typical freight wagons and payload and their combinations are given in code of practice UIC (UIC Loading rules). The method/principle selected for loading and securing of payload shall be validated according to Annex B. Methods/principle already used and validated by their use in previous operations can be considerate as validated. NOTE 2 Wagon and payload combination covered by UIC Loading rules are considered to be validated by their use. SIST EN 16860:2019



EN 16860:2019 (E) 8 In order to ensure safe transport, it may be necessary to pack goods, to assemble them to form load units or take other appropriate measures. The following clauses show different examples of principles for securing of payload. 5.2 Positive–fit payload securing Positive–fit can be realized by rigid loading or compact loading. Rigid loading can be achieved by fixing the payload in the wagon with brackets (for example wooden wedges). For example see Figure 1. Dimensions in millimetres
