Passenger rolling stock - Trailer bogies - Running gear - General provisions applicable to the components of trailers bogies

Summary

This leaflet sets out the conditions to be met by the components of trailer bogies for passenger rolling stock, in addition to the conditions specified in UIC Leaflet 515-3 to 515-5 .

With a view to standardisation, this leaflet also presents technical solutions which have been tried and tested in service on bogies operating under the normal conditions of the principal UIC railways. This standardisation is highly desirable for economic reasons but should not inhibit innovation or progress.
