BS EN 15085 is a European standard that discusses the welding of railway vehicles and components. BS EN 15085-5 is the fifth part of a multi-part series that applies to the welding of metallic materials in the manufacture and maintenance of railway vehicles and their parts to ensure an acceptable level of standard is maintained.
BS EN 15085-5 outlines:
BS EN 15085-5 on the inspection, testing, and documentation for welding of railway vehicles is useful for:
Welding is a special process in the manufacture of railway vehicles and their parts. The purpose of welding is to join ends together by the application of heat and thus eliminate the evil effects of rail joints.
BS EN 15085-5 guideline assists you with inspection of welded joints, testing of welded joints, test planning, test criteria, documentation, non-conformance, corrective actions, sub-contractors, declaration of conformity, and traceability for inspection, testing, and documentation. This assists in improving and easing the process of testing and evaluating the welding of railway vehicles and their components for increasing their efficacy.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 15085-5, you can effectively conduct the inspection and testing of railway vehicles and their components. Additionally, ensure an acceptable level of standard is maintained.
