This document defines the assessment of endurable longitudinal compressive force (LCF) of a vehicle. The endurable longitudinal compressive force is a parameter depending on the vehicle design. It is used to estimate the risk of derailment of a vehicle as a result of being subjected to longitudinal compressive force, under operating conditions. NOTE 1 As operating conditions can vary in several aspects (infrastructure, train configurations etc.), this document defines uniform assessments of endurable longitudinal compressive force per vehicle in specific operating conditions. The main assessment of endurable longitudinal compressive force for conventional trains is derived from UIC 530-2:2011, which is based on practical tests performed in ERRI-B12. Assessments of endurable longitudinal compressive force for high-capacity trains in this document are required by the methodology of IRS 40421. IRS 40421 assesses operational train parameters. This document applies to the following types of vehicles: - single wagons; - permanently coupled units with standard ends between the vehicles; - permanently coupled units with diagonal buffers and screw couplers between the vehicles; - permanently coupled units with a bar coupler between the vehicles; - articulated units with 2-axle bogies; - wagons with 3-axle bogies; - low-floor wagons with eight or more axles (e.g. rolling road wagon); - vehicles with centre couplers; - railbound construction and maintenance machines as defined in EN 14033-1:2017. NOTE 2 This document defines the acceptance process to be followed by vehicles that are operated in a way that high longitudinal compressive force occur in the trains due to their operational environment (e.g. train composition, brake mode, track layout). The following vehicles are not in the scope of this document: - locomotives and passenger rolling stocks; - vehicles that are only operated in passenger trains. NOTE 3 Locomotives, passenger rolling stocks and vehicles operated in passenger trains only are not in the scope of this document as they either are subject to low longitudinal compressive force in operation or have sufficient endurable longitudinal compressive force due to their axle load. Acceptance criteria and test conditions as well as conditions for simulation are defined in this document. Conditions for dispensation of the assessment of the endurable longitudinal compressive force are also defined in this document. This document applies principally to vehicles which operate without restrictions on tracks with a gauge of 1 435 mm in Europe. NOTE 4 The influence on railway systems using other gauges is not sufficiently understood to extend the scope of this document to gauges other than 1 435 mm. NOTE 5 For wagons with centre couplers, a need for assessment of derailment risk due to Longitudinal Forces on other gauges (1 524 mm, 1 600 mm, 1 668 mm) has been expressed. The influence on railway systems using other gauges is not sufficiently understood. This document only introduces some notions to assess it independently from the gauge.

In general terms, Miner’s rule is a common approach to calculate how the accumulation of a specific load that varies over time effects the time until failure. This international standard specifies the application of Miner’s rule for calculating the design time until failure of plastics pipes and piping systems of plastics materials under varying, but known, load conditions. Miner’s rule can also be applied reciprocally to calculate the tolerable load levels along a desired design time. This international standard specifies particularly the application of Miner’s rule to calculate stress or pressure regimes, respectively, that are tolerable during a targeted design time for plastics or composite pipes. Further, the application of Miner’s rule on the effect of accumulated damage on polyolefins caused by oxidative attack under varying temperatures and times on the design life is specified. It is necessary to apply Miner's rule to each failure mechanism separately. Thus, for mechanical failure due to internal pressure, other failure mechanisms, such as oxidative or dehydrochlorinative degradative failure mechanisms, are to be neglected (assuming, of course, no interaction). A material may be used only when it is proven to conform to all failure mechanism criteria. NOTE Miner's rule is an empirically based procedure and is only a first approximation to reality.

This document specifies test methods and values for single-use sealable pouches and reels constructed of a porous material as specified in EN 868 part 2, 3, 6, 7, 9 or 10 and a plastic film. These sealable pouches and reels are intended to be used as sterile barrier systems and/or packaging systems for terminally sterilized medical devices. Other than the general requirements as specified in EN ISO 11607-1 and EN ISO 11607-2, this part of EN 868 series specifies materials, test methods and values that are specific to the products covered by this document.

This document specifies test methods and values for uncoated nonwoven materials of polyolefins used for single-use sterile barrier systems and/or packaging systems for terminally sterilized medical devices. Other than the general requirements as specified in EN ISO 11607-1 and EN ISO 11607-2, this part of EN 868 series specifies materials, test methods and values that are specific to the products covered by this document.

This document specifies test methods and values for sealable adhesive coated nonwoven materials of polyolefins, manufactured from nonwovens specified in EN 868-9 used for single-use sterile barrier systems and/or packaging systems for terminally sterilized medical devices. Other than the general requirements as specified in EN ISO 11607-1 and EN ISO 11607-2, this part of EN 868 series specifies materials, test methods and values that are specific to the products covered by this document.

This document specifies test methods and values for re-usable containers used as sterile barrier systems for terminally sterilized medical devices. These containers are intended to be used in large steam sterilizers as specified in EN 285. Other than the general requirements as specified in EN ISO 11607-1 and EN ISO 11607-2, this part of EN 868 series specifies materials, test methods and values that are specific to the products covered by this document. This document does not cover additional materials and/or accessories inside the sterile barrier system in order to ease the organization, drying or aseptic presentation (e.g. inner wrap, indicators, packing lists, mats, instrument organizer sets, tray liners or an additional envelope around the medical device).

This document specifies a method for the qualitative detection of DNA of the general wheat and rye in cooked sausages using real-time PCR based on the glutenin gene, in the context of allergen analyses. This document does not apply to differentiating between wheat (Triticum L.) and rye (Secale cereale). The method was previously validated in an interlaboratory study (ring trial).

The limit of detection of the wheat and rye real-time PCR has been determined experimentally to be around 80 mg wheat or rye per kg for the matrix ‘cooked sausage’. For autoclaved material the detection limit can increase significantly.

This document specifies a method for the qualitative detection of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) DNA in food using real-time PCR and targeting a multicopy mitochondrial sequence, in the context of allergen analyses. The method was previously validated in an interlaboratory study (ring trial) and applied to DNA extracted from samples that consist of defined proportions of peanut in rice biscuits, wheat biscuits, cooked sausage and milk powder.

The limit of detection of the peanut real-time PCR has been determined experimentally to be at least 0,5 mg peanut/kg.

The method was previously validated in an interlaboratory study (ring trial) and applied to DNA extracted from samples that consist of defined proportions of peanut, hazelnut, walnut and cashew in rice biscuits, cooked sausage, sauce powder, vegan cookie and veggie burger (powder). The limit of detection of each real-time PCR has been determined experimentally to be about 5 mg/kg (10 mg/kg for roasted peanuts).

The method was previously validated in an interlaboratory study (ring trial). The limit of detection of the fish real-time PCR has been determined experimentally to be at least 50 mg fish fresh weight/kg.
