BS EN 16116-2:2013EN 16116-2:2013 (E) 4 Introduction To achieve an undisturbed, reliable and safe operation of freight trains it is essential to define common requirements for safe access and egress for rolling stock of interoperable trains with respect to e.g. structural requirement
22、s, operating characteristics, way of operation, maintenance as well as their handling. Coupling of freight wagons by means of screw couplings is usually done by personnel. The design of freight wagons needs to be suitable to meet these functions without exposing staff to undue risk. Freight wagons r
23、equire sufficient space for their coupling and uncoupling by staff without any rigid features impeding accessibility to the screw coupler. Also there is a need for provision of suitable footsteps and handrails for personnel, to allow temporary travel outside the vehicle during shunting as well as to
24、 access the vehicle. If wagons according to TSI-FW are equipped with steps and handholds, these needs apply to all designs of vehicle. To achieve an undisturbed, reliable and safe operation it is therefore essential to harmonise the functional requirements and characteristic dimensions and assess an
25、d permanently ensure their suitability for interoperable traffic. BS EN 16116-2:2013EN 16116-2:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for ergonomic and structural integrity of steps and handrails used together to give staff access to freight wagons. It does not
26、cover ladders, top platforms and top gangways. It defines in particular the required spaces necessary for handling of screw couplings with side buffers, for shunter handrails, for shunters stand, for steps and handrails. This European Standard also defines their dimensions, positions, limits for dur
27、ability and functionality. It also defines the general requirements for the access to tail lights for freight wagons. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

33、s standard, steps and handrails used by staff shall be secured as follows: with bolts of adequate length and self-locking nuts, or with bolts of adequate length and cottered hexagon castlenuts, or with high-strength lock ring-bolts. The mechanical strength of the material used for all kind of handra
34、ils and steps, where the properties according to 4.2.2 are not required, shall be as a minimum that of EN 10025-2, grade S235JR. 4.2 Steps 4.2.1 General Steps shall be made with non-slip surface. This should be a metal grating, see Figure 1, Pos. 1 or Pos. 2. For all other solutions the following ch
35、aracteristics shall be fulfilled: Resistance to friction The average value of the friction coefficient measured in three directions (lengthwise, breadthwise and diagonally) shall reach the following minimum values: a) in dry condition = 0,65 b) in wet condition (water) = 0,65 c) in oiled condition =
36、 0,30 Friction coefficient values shall be ascertained by means of a 100 mm 100 mm movable plate, on which a rubber pad with 80 shore hardness shall be glued; this plate shall be loaded with a weight of 75 kg. For the measurements carried out with water and oil, the grating shall be fully immersed.
37、BS EN 16116-2:2013EN 16116-2:2013 (E) 7 Mechanical strength Metal gratings shall withstand, without residual deformation, a horizontal compression force of at least 4 kN, exerted parallel and at right angles to the edge of the step board, and of at least 8 kN exerted diagonally in relation to the ed
38、ge of the step board. Elastic deformations shall not exceed 10 mm. Grating structure To ensure that the gratings are sufficiently well-adapted to winter conditions, a ratio of at least 50 % of “void“ area to total area shall be observed. Only apertures with a minimum area of 400 mm2shall be taken in
39、to account to determine this ratio. NOTE The “void“ area is the free space afforded by the grating apertures in the vertical direction. 4.2.2 Shunters step The material for the steps support shall be S355J2C + N in accordance with EN 10025-2. Cold forming for steps support is not allowed. The shunte
40、rs step is shown in Figure 1. The grating according to Figure 1 is mandatory. For specific operation the size of the step of the shunters stand can be reduced to 270 mm x 225 mm. The surface protection (e.g. hot-galvanised) should provide an adequate service life. BS EN 16116-2:2013EN 16116-2:2013 (

44、 stirrup shaped steps and steps with a width 160 mm, the friction resistance has to be in accordance with 4.2.1 and the clearance behind the steps including the width of the step shall be in accordance with EN 12561-7. The minimum distance in vertical direction at steps for platforms and gangways (e
45、xample in B.1) shall be: If there are more than one step, the vertical distance between the steps and platform shall not be less than 360 mm and not more than 400 mm. An equal distance of 365 mm should be preferred. The lateral recess between the second and the lowest step shall be 80 mm. 4.3 Handra
46、ils 4.3.1 General If there are no deviating indications in the drawings, the handrails shall be made from round-bar steel with minimum diameter of 20 mm or pipe steel. The maximum diameter shall be 35 mm. The handrails shall withstand the loads applied by the shunters accessing the steps or the spac
47、e between the buffers. When using round-bar steel and material specifications, fixing requirements and dimensions given in this standard it is proven that these loads are sustained. Otherwise it shall be demonstrated by analyses or tests that the handrail is capable of withstanding a force of 1,5 kN
48、 applied at any point over its length at any direction without causing permanent deformation in it. When demonstrated by tests, permanent deformations on first loading shall not be considered. All measurements related to the positions of the handrails are referring to the centrelines of the handrail
49、s. Clearances are measured from the surfaces of the handrails. The clearance between the handrails and any part of the wagon shall be at least 120 mm. In order to comply with the kinematic gauge the position of the handrails can be adjusted in exceptional cases. 4.3.2 Shunter handrail Wagons shall be equipped with two shunter handrails at each headstock under the buffers. The clearance between the handrails and any part of the wagon can be reduced to 100 mm. The minimum dimensions and the positions for
