- EN 13749:2021+A1:2023;
that comprise:
- the axle fitted with wheels of diameters greater than or equal to 330 mm;
- axleboxes with bearings and grease.
This document is also applicable to wheelsets:
- fitted with brake discs, final drive, transmission or noise-damping systems, as appropriate;
- not complying with the above European standards, but complying with the international requirements in force, for example in UIC leaflets, before the approval of these standards;
- with tyred wheels;
- with resilient wheels.
For equipment not covered by Directive (EU) 2016/797, this European Standard can be applied, noting that different values can be used.
