Railway applications - Re-railing and recovery requirements for railway vehicles

This draft European Standard is applicable to all railway vehicles that will operate under the Interoperability Directives taking into consideration the recommendations given in Annex F on the application of the standard (migration rule).
Rolling stock of the following types are excluded from the scope of this draft European Standard:
-   metros, tramways, and other light rail vehicles;
-   vehicles for the operation of local, urban or suburban passenger services on networks that are functionally separate from the rest of the railway system;
-   vehicles exclusively used on privately owned railway infrastructure that exist solely for use by the owner for its own freight operations;
-   vehicles reserved for a strictly local, historical or touristic use.
On track machines are in the scope of this draft European Standard only when in transport (running) configuration on their own rail wheels, either self-propelled or hauled.
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.
The interface between the re-railing and recovery equipment and the vehicle structure is considered as the interface between the jack contact faces or the lifting bracket contact areas. The structural requirements for the vehicle structure are set out in EN 12663-1 and EN 12663-2.
NOTE   Railway vehicles that will operate under the Interoperability Directives correspond to the categories L, P-I, P-II, F-I and F-II defined in EN 12663-1.

EN 16404:2016 (E) 5 Introduction Rail vehicles are designed so that re-railing and recovery operations after a derailment or accident can be safely undertaken without exposing persons to undue risk during lifting and jacking operations. For rolling stock of interoperable trains there is a need to define common requirements in terms of lifting and jacking operations, equipment space envelopes and lifting accessories. Foreseeable factors that can influence a re-railing or recovery operation include: — final vehicle position relative to the track; — weight transfer due to final vehicle orientation (inclination or roll); — vehicle load, possible overloading or uneven loading; — load movement or shifting; — embedding of parts of the vehicle in the ground; — sinking of jacks (soft ground); — structural distortion/damage; — jerking or snatching of lifting equipment. The majority of these factors cannot be quantified either in advance or during a recovery operation and therefore precise requirements cannot be set out in this European Standard and accordingly design scenarios are used. The resulting requirements together with competent persons undertaking the re-railing or recovery operation using the documentation specified are considered to be sufficient to ensure that the overall objectives are satisfied. SIST EN 16404:2016



EN 16404:2016 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable to all railway vehicles that will operate under the Interoperability Directives taking into consideration the recommendations given in Annex F on the application of the standard (migration rule). Rolling stock of the following types are excluded from the scope of this draft European Standard: — metros, tramways, and other light rail vehicles; — vehicles for the operation of local, urban or suburban passenger services on networks that are functionally separate from the rest of the railway system; — vehicles exclusively used on privately owned railway infrastructure that exist solely for use by the owner for its own freight operations; — vehicles reserved for a strictly local, historical or touristic use. On-track machines are in the scope of this European Standard only when in transport (running) configuration on their own rail wheels, either self-propelled or hauled. 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. The interface between the re-railing and recovery equipment and the vehicle structure is considered as the interface between the jack contact faces or the lifting bracket contact areas. The structural requirements for the vehicle structure are set out in EN 12663-1 and EN 12663-2. NOTE Railway vehicles that will operate under the Interoperability Directives correspond to the categories L, P-I, P-II, F-I and F-II defined in EN 12663–1. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Figure 1 — Conventional vehicles: example of single end and full vehicle lifting It shall be possible to lift a rail vehicle for re-railing or recovery purposes with the running gear secured to the car body (see 5.4). For re-railing or recovery, it shall be possible to raise or lower a vehicle end or a complete vehicle using only jacking equipment (and lifting brackets if these are required). NOTE For re-railing and recovery operations, lifting is undertaken by designated personnel who are trained and qualified by knowledge and practical experience to enable the re-railing and recovery operations to be carried out in accordance with the re-railing and recovery instructions for the vehicle (see Clause 8). 4.2.2 Lifting operations for articulated vehicles and/or fixed formations For articulated vehicles and/or fixed formations it shall be possible to simultaneously lift the end or ends of adjacent vehicles in order to achieve the objectives set out above for lifting vehicles (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). Any additional requirements shall be included in the recovery documentation (see Clause 8).
Figure 2 — Articulated vehicles with shared running gear: example of single end and full vehicle lifting For articulated vehicles with three point support it is permissible for lifting loads to be transferred to an adjacent vehicle through the articulation joint, for example as indicated in Figure 3.

EN 16404:2016 (E) 11 4.2.3 Provision of lifting points Lifting points for re-railing and recovery shall be provided by: — the provision of dedicated lifting points for re-railing and recovery, and/or — the use of lifting points which are also intended for maintenance purposes, and/or — removable lifting brackets with compatible attachment points or lifting pockets. In all cases conformity with the requirements of this European Standard shall be demonstrated. Permanent built-in lifting points for re-railing and recovery are recommended. In particular, it is recommended that freight wagons are designed to not require the use of lifting brackets for re-railing or recovery. For heavy vehicles, for example locomotives, fully loaded freight vehicles or On-track Machines, the vehicle should be lifted using the running gear supporting the car body instead of lifting the vehicle with the running gear suspended from the car body structure to avoid structural collapse or damage. If permanent built-in lifting points for re-railing or recovery are not provided for some or all vehicle lifting positions, attachment points or lifting pockets shall be provided to allow removable lifting brackets to be fitted in accordance with the requirements of 5.3 and 6.4. 4.2.4 Requirements for marking and documentation Each lifting point shall be marked in accordance with the requirements of Clause 7 to clearly identify the intended function or functions of the lifting point. 4.3 Vehicle masses for lifting The minimum vehicle mass, denoted MV, shall be the design mass in working order as defined by EN 15663, less the mass of any staff. The maximum vehicle mass, denoted MC, to be used to determine the loads used in the design of lifting points, shall be the design mass under normal payload for the vehicle as defined by EN 15663, less the mass of any passengers and staff. NOTE 1 For passenger vehicles, as defined in EN 15663, luggage mass is included. It is assumed that for a recovery operation while the passengers and train crew will have been evacuated, all other items remain on the vehicle. NOTE 2 For freight vehicles, as set out in EN 15663, the maximum vehicle mass is the vehicle mass in working order plus the maximum payload specified for the vehicle. For freight vehicles, staff and/or passenger masses are zero. SIST EN 16404:2016



EN 16404:2016 (E) 12 5 Vehicle interface and functional requirements for lifting, re-railing and support 5.1 Lifting, re-railing and support points 5.1.1 Minimum functional requirements for jacking In accordance with the requirements set out in 4.2, at each end of a vehicle it shall be demonstrated that the following sequence of re-railing operations can be undertaken safely: — raise the end of the vehicle; — support the raised vehicle; — install a re-railing beam, roller carriages and traversing equipment; — raise and support the vehicle on the re-railing beam and traverse as required; — lower the vehicle to place back on the rails; — remove all re-railing equipment. These operations may be accomplished using any combination of the available options for re-railing positions and lifting points. There shall be at least one pre-determined re-railing position at each vehicle end where running gear is attached. A re-railing position shall allow the end of a rail vehicle to be safely lifted and traversed (moved laterally) by the use of either: — a single pair of jacking points, a re-railing beam, roller carriages and jacks, or — a combination of vehicle jacking points and support points for use with a re-railing beam and roller carriages (except freight wagons constructed in accordance with Annex C of the Freight Wagons TSI). If a combination of jacking and support points is used, the jacking and support positions are individually subject to the design space envelope requirements set out in this document. It is recommended that in addition the relative location of the jacking and support positions is optimised by consideration of: — the intended use of the re-railing equipment, — access requirements for the re-railing equipment, — the position of the running gear, — the rigidity of the vehicle structure. Requirements for the combined use of re-railing beams and jacking equipment are set out in 5.1.6. Requirements for support points are set out in 5.1.8. SIST EN 16404:2016



EN 16404:2016 (E) 13 5.1.2 General design requirements for lifting point locations There shall be a minimum of four lifting points on the vehicle car body, arranged as two pairs, with at least one pair located at each vehicle end. NOTE Subject to the approach adopted, a greater number of lifting points might be required to ensure the requirements of 5.1.1 are fulfilled. It is recommended that in the vicinity of each set of running gear two pairs of lifting points are provided. Additional lifting points may be provided subject to conformity with the applicable requirements set out in this European Standard. The number, position and heights of additional lifting points shall be part of the vehicle specification. Lifting points provided for a full vehicle lift shall also be suitable for single end lifting. For articulated vehicles at positions where the running gear is shared, lifting points shall be arranged to allow adjacent vehicle ends to be lifted simultaneously. For lifting points at re-railing positions, requirements for maximum and minimum heights above rail are set out in 5.1.6. For lifting points at other positions, the heights of the lifting points shall be part of the vehicle specification. Single central jacking points may be provided positioned outboard of the running gear at the vehicle ends for jacking for a sin
