is to guarantee a mileage of 200,000 km without any failures. The conditions for proving a trouble free
mileage are to be coordinated with LHB. The design of all parts has to guarantee that under normal
operating conditions a mileage of 1,000,000 km will be reached without any replacements. The supplier
should specify the recommended maintenance schedules/practices clearly to achieve the desired life.

APPENDIX- G
Specification for Brake Indicators for Axle Mounted Disc Brake System AMDBS of for LHB type
coaches on Indian railways.
1. SCOPE
This specification covers the technical requirements related to performance, Inspection and testing of
Brake Indicators for Axle Mounted Disc Brake system for LHB type coaches and does not include other
necessary provisions of the contract.
2. EQUIPMENT DESIGN
2.1 The design of the brake indicators shall be of UIC Pattern.
3. PURCHASE INSPECTION
3.1 The purchase inspection shall be carried out at the premises of the manufactures who are cleared for
the regular manufacture of Brake Indicators and registered with RDSO. The following procedure shall
be followed: -
3.1.1 The Inspecting Authority shall make audit checks of the manufacturing procedure ‘Internal Quality
Assurance System’ to ensure to that the Brake Indicators offered for inspection is manufactured strictly
as per ‘Internal Quality Assurance System’ and the manufacturer has carried out all the tests inspection
during manufacturing stage to ensure that the Brake Indicators as well as their components are
manufactured strictly to the specification /drawing and quality standard of the collaborator.
3.1.2 After having satisfied about the quality standards, 10% of each lot of 100 Brake Indicators shall be
tested as per procedure given in clause 4.
4. TESTS
4.1 Leakage Test
4.1.1 Apply a pressure of 10 Kg/cm2. There should not be any leakage if checked with soap water.
4.2 Functional Test
4.2.1 Apply a pressure of 0.5 to 0.6 Kg/cm2. Red colours should appears in Window of indicator.
4.2.2 Now release the pressure to 0 kg/cm2. Green colours should appears in Window of indicator.

7.1.4 The supplier guarantees all internal interfaces of the brake system (car-body equipment/bogie
equipment/wheel slide protection equipment).
7.1.5 If the components included in the scope of delivery of the brake supplier are to be connected with the
brake pipes of the car-body and/or the bogie, they are to be suitable for ferrule connections. Ferrule
connections type B are used (Ferrule are made of stainless steel, screwed connections are made of
galvanized steel, the car-body pipes are made of stainless steel).
7.2 Electrical interfaces
7.2.1 In order to guarantee an easy exchangeability, the single electrical/electronic parts of the brake control
system are to be connected by means of plug in connectors, if possible. The plug in connections and
the mating connectors for connecting the electrical/electronic components are to be delivered by the
supplier of the brake system.
7.2.2 The supplier of the brake system defines the connection of the brake control system to the vehicle’s
energy supply system. The power consumption and the requirements on the energies to be supplies
are to be specified (e.g. voltage tolerances, ripple etc.).
7.3 Pneumatic interfaces
7.3.1 The hose coupling heads of the pneumatic system have to correspond to those of the existing vehicles.
7.3.2 The supplier defines the requirements of the pneumatic brake system on the components generating
the compressed air under the aspect of a steady readiness for braking or the corresponding safety.
7.4 Interfaces with the wheel slide protection unit
7.4.1 The interfaces with the wheel slide protection are technically to be coordinated according to the
integration of the wheel-slide protection into the brake system of the brake supplier. As far as known,
these interfaces are situated at the pressure switches 1.3/1.8 Kg/cm 2 in FP line (functional and electric
interface) and at the valves of the wheel slide protection (functional and pneumatic interface).
