Introduction
Welding is a special process in the manufacture of railway vehicles and their parts. The required
provisions for this process are laid down in the standards series EN ISO 3834. The basis of these
provisions is the basic technical welding standards with respect to the special requirements for the
construction of railway vehicles.
This series of standards applies to welding of metallic materials in the manufacture and maintenance of
railway vehicles and their parts.
It describes the control for the welding process for railway vehicles and their components for new
manufacture and maintenance.
With respect to the railway environment, this series of standards defines the quality requirements for
the welding manufacturer to undertake new building and repair work.
Components, parts and subassemblies are assigned a classification level, based on their safety relevance.
According to these levels, qualifications for welding personnel of the manufacturer are specified.
This series provides an essential link between the weld performance class defined during design, the
quality of the weld, and the demonstration of the required quality by inspection.
This series of standards does not deal with product qualification.
NOTE This series of standard can also be used by internal and external parties, including certification bodies,

4 Design requirements
4.1 General
All welded joints produced under the scope of the EN 15085 series shall be designed according to the
requirements of this document unless more stringent product / project specific requirements are
defined.
A stress assessment shall be done for new designs. For existing designs not according to EN 15085, the
requirements of EN 15085-6:-4 shall apply.
Results of the stress assessment shall be used in combination with the safety category to define the weld
performance class (CP) according to Table 2. The weld performance class for each weld shall be identified
on the manufacturing drawing or associated technical documentation.
If the strength assessment procedure already considers the weld performance class (i.e. the quality levels
for imperfections and the weld inspection class), and the safety category according to the definition given
in this document, then Table 1 and 2 do not need to be applied.
9
SIST EN 15085-3:2023
EN 15085-3:2022 (E)
Irrespective of the method of assessment, for welded joints with high safety category the weld
performance classes according to this document (CP A, CP B1, CP C1) shall be chosen.
CP D is only allowed for low safety category.
4.2 Dimensioning of welded joints
For dimensioning and preparation of different types of welded joints see Annexes B and C.
4.3 Stress categories and stress factors
The stress category is determined by the stress factor according to Table 1, (see 3.1).
The fatigue strength value can be obtained by calculation according to the appropriate standard /
guideline or fatigue tests on representative joint samples.
The statistical evaluation of the fatigue tests shall be done according to an appropriate standard. The
verification of strength should be carried out using only one coherent system for calculation.
European standards for structural requirements of railway vehicles, e.g. EN 12663-1:2010+A1:2014,
EN 12663-2:2010, EN 13749:2021, EN 15827:2011, shall be applied.
The safety category defines the consequences of failure of a single welded joint with respect to its effect
on persons, facilities and the environment.
The safety categories are differentiated as follows:
Low: Failure of the welded joint does not lead to any direct impairment of the overall
function. Consequential events with personal injuries are unlikely.
Medium: Failure of the welded joint leads to an impairment of the overall function or can
lead to consequential events with personal injuries.
High: Failure of the welded joint leads to consequential events with personal injuries and
breakdown of the overall function.
For a more detailed explanation of the safety category, Annex G should also be considered.
4.5 Weld performance classes
Weld performance classes shall be defined in the design phase depending on the safety category and the
stress category. A welding coordinator should be consulted with respect to practicability and testing of
the welded joints.
Welded joints of railway vehicles are divided into seven weld performance classes (see Table 2).

SIST EN 15085-3:2023
EN 15085-3:2022 (E)
Medium CP B1
a CP C2 CP C3
Low CP C1
b CP C3 CP D
a Weld performance classes CP A and CP B1: CP A and CP B1 are only applicable for welds with full penetration
and full accessibility for inspection in production and maintenance.
b Weld performance classes CP B2 and CP C1: CP B2 and CP C1 are also applicable for welds where volumetric
NDT is not possible. Where this is the case, see EN 15085-5:-3, Table 1, footnote b. This should be noted on the
related weld inspection documentation with a note “increase of surface test is required”.
For new manufacturing, the combination of high safety category and high stress category, which leads to
weld performance class CP A, shall be avoided. For application in maintenance see EN 15085-6:-4.
The inspection of all welded joints shall be performed according to EN 15085-5:-3, Table 1 as a minimum.
When the weld performance class assessment leads to CP B1, CP B2 or CP C1, and the weld is inaccessible
for inspection or repair during maintenance, one of the following actions shall be performed:
The weld inspection class is determined based on the weld performance class.
The correlation between the weld performance class, weld inspection class and inspection requirements
is defined in Table 3. Details of weld inspection are further defined in EN 15085-5:- 3, Table 1.
