Part B
I. Purpose This standard prescribes strength requirements for milway vehicle bodies
and bogies to ensure safe performance under normal operation and to
minimise risks to passengers, personnel, train crew and members of the
general public in the event of collisions or demiiments.
2. Scope T+e requirements of this standard apply to traction and rolling stock and
to On-track Machines that opemte on Railttack lines. The requirements
apply to all new vehicles. They apply also to existing vehicles undergoing
Engineering Change insofar as it is reasonably practicable to incorporate
the requirements.
The requirements of this standard do not apply to vehicles which are
registered under international standards bodies, such as RIC and RIV, and
which opetate in international tmfftc. The requirements do not apply w
on-ttack vehicles worldng within possessions.
The requirements of Section 9 do not apply to On-track Machines.
3. Definitions Engineering Change
Any altemcion or modification to the design of a vehicle that affects its
technical performance, particularly where it influences structural behaviour
and strength chamcteristics.
Fixed Consist Train
Any set of vehicles which opemtes permanently as a fwed formation.
Freight Vehicles
Vehicles designed and used for carrying payloads which do not include
people. Also, On-track Machines which do not carry people.
Non-Passenger Vehicles
Vehicles such as locomotives, power cars, driving van trailers and On-track
Machines that do not carry people, other than opemtional staff in the ‘
course of their duties.
On-track Machine
A nil-mounted machine permitted by the Rule Book(BR87109) to be
moved, either self-propelled or in train formation, outside a possession.
Passenger Vehicles
Vehicles designed and used for carrying passengers who are fare-paying
customers.

4. General 4.I
Requirements The structures of the bodies and running gear of vehicles shall be designed
and maintained so that the safety of occupants is ensured as far as is
pmcticable under both normal opemting conditions and abnormal
conditions such as heavy shunts and minor to medium collisions. Should
structural failure occur as a result of a collision or derailment the
possibility of injury to people, both inside and outside the vehicle, shall be
minimised.
4.2
Vehicles shall meet the requiremen~ of this standard over the full mnge of
variations in vehicle condition chat are likely to be experienced. Account
shall be taken of tolemnces in vehicle dimensions and masses, variations
and asymmetries in payload, normal variations in vehicle maintenance
condition and other relevant variables.
4.3
Vehicles shall be maintained so that the structural design integrity of the
body and running gear structures, as well as that of the connections
between the body and running gear, is sustained over the lives of the.
vehicles.
4.4
Any scructuml damage shall be repaired in such a way that the structuml
design integrity is fully restored.
4.5
The fatigue strength of bolted, riveted or welded structures shall be
assessed on the basis of reference [l] for steel structures and reference
[2] for aluminium alloy structures, or to equivalent international or
national standards.

4.6
All items mounted on the vehicles shall remain attached under normal
opefating conditions and shall also remain attached, as f%- as is practicable,
during collisions or derailments.
Equipment and mountings shall be designed to take into account the risks
and consequences of failure. Where appropriate, risks shall be reduced by
measures such as the overdesign of mountings and attachments, the use of
fasteners incorporating high strain energy, and the provision of emergency
restraints.
4.7
Deviations from the specific requirements of this standard are permissible
providing that an equivalent level of safety is achieved. In such cases any
deviations shall be supported by appropriate technical justification.
In cases where it is proposed to introduce existing vehicles which would be
new to operations on the Railtrack network, and which do not conform
with the technical provisions of this standard, a quantitative risk assessment
shall be carried ouc For acceptance of such vehicles, it shall be
demonstmted that the imported risk is reconcilable with the strategic
safety performance objectives as set down in the current Railway Group
Safety Plan, reference [3].
4.8
Passengers and catering staff shall not be carried in the leading vehicle of a
train which has a maximum opemting speed greater than 160 krdh without
the sanction of HM Railway Inspectomte. A quantified risk assessment
shall be submitted in suppon of any proposal to deviate from this
requirement,
5. Load Factors 5.I General
For calculation purposes, in order to allow for uncenainties associated
with methods of calculation and also for the consequences of failure, the
proof loads defined in this document shall be multiplied by load factors as
indicated below.
5.2 Proof Load Factor L,
(a) If there is to be no experimental verification, LI shall not be less
than 1.15.
(b) If there is to be experimental verification, L, may be reduced to 1.0.
The use of this factor is intended to ensure tha~ as far as is practicable,
there is no permanent deformation.

As far as is practicable, a body structure shall not collapse in an
uncontrolled manner as a result of high longitudinal loads encountered
during rough shunts, and minor to medium collisions.

For vehicles carrying passengers, personnel or tmin crew, the ends shall

for example, another rail vehicle, a road vehicle or a fwed Iineside
structure.

pillars extending from floor level to cantmil height and situated at
intermediate positions across the width of the body. For cab ends it is
acceptable to terminate such pillars at the window sill and to provide,
above the window sill, a single cenual pillar extending from the window sill
to cantfail heighL
6.1.4
The body structure shall withstand without permanent deformation the
load cases defined below. The magnitudes of the forces are given in
Table 1.
In applying the following load cases, note that cases (a) to (i) shall be
considered in combination with the body shell structure’s own weight Also
note that in cases (e) to (i) it is permissible to react the load at the
opposite end of the vehicle either at the same height and in the same
manner as it is applied, or at the coupler position.

(a) A longitudinal compressive force applied to each end of the body at the
buffer positions, if buffers are fitted.
For vehicles fitted with buffers at one end only, the force shall be reacted
at the coupler position at the other end.
(b) A longitudinal compressive force applied to each end of the body at
the coupler positions, if the vehicle is intended to be fitted with couplers
which are capable of being loaded in compression.
(c) A Iongiwdinal compressive force applied equally at the faces of the
anti-climbers (where fitted) and reacted at the coupler position at the
other end.
(d) A longitudinal tensile force applied to each end of the body at the
coupler positions.
(e) A longitudinal compressive force applied to the body at a level of
350 mm above the coupler centreline (or 150 mm above the level of the
structuml floor if ths is higher).
(9 A longitudinal compressive force applied to the body at any height from
350 mm above the coupler centreline to waist rail height (For cab
structure, read “window sill” for “waist roil”).
For a cab end, a structural window sill (or sills) shall be provided which can
withstand the above load distributed uniformly over the window sill length.
(g) A longitudinal compressive force applied to the body at cantrail heigim
(h) A longitudinal compressive force applied to the body end at any point
on each of the side-wall edges between the solebar and cantmil heights.
This force may be applied simultaneously to both edges. Where the body is
tapered the force shall be applied, if at all pmcticable, to the side-wall edge
where the body is of full width. This case applies also to the end walls of
mid-positioned cabs.
(i) A longitudinal compressive force applied at any point between the
solebar and canttail heights to the two vertical collision pillars, where
present, (half the force per pillar). In the case of an end cab where there is
just one central pillar above the window sill, the force shall be applied at
any point on that pillar between the window sill and canttail height
(see 6.1.3).
(z) A compresswe force applied to each end of the body at diagonally
opposite buffer positions.
