This European Standard applies to hydraulic dampers and their end mountings used on rail vehicles. The dampers covered in this standard include:
- Dampers that control the dynamic behaviour of a vehicle:
- Suspensions dampers, (e.g. primary vertical dampers, secondary vertical dampers and secondary lateral dampers);
- Yaw dampers;
- Roll dampers;
- Inter-vehicles dampers.
- Dampers that control the dynamic behaviour of mechanical systems:
- Pantograph dampers;
- Motor dampers, etc.
All relevant terminology which is specific to the subject is defined in this European Standard.
