This European Standard specifies the characteristics of axles for use on European networks. It describes characteristics of forged or rolled axles, made from vacuum-degassed steel grade EA1N that is the most commonly used grade on European networks. For hollow axles, this standard applies only to those that are manufactured by machining of a hole in a forged or rolled solid axle. The main purpose of normative documents used until now for the delivery of wheelsets (UIC leaflets, national standards) was a complete definition of the acceptance procedures and of the wheelset characteristics which were to be verified. Product qualification was sometimes taken into account but the procedures used for product qualification and the product characteristics to be verified during qualification were not given.
