Where an infringement to Indian Railways Standard BG Schedule of Dimensions (metric)-
2004 incorporating all correction slips up to date is considered necessary by the
manufacturer as intrinsic to the design of the machine for meeting the work performance
requirements laid down in this specification while meeting the safety and operational
requirements of IR, the same shall be done with the prior approval of the Purchaser and
decision of the Purchaser in permitting any such infringement shall be final and binding on

such dimensions as Rigid wheel Base, Length of stocks, Distance apart of bogie centres and
maximum height of floor above Rail level in certain track machines after due consideration
of their design features vis-a-vis safety and operational requirements of IR. However,
condonation of an infringement in another track machine in the past does not by itself entitle
the manufacturer to assume acceptance of the same in other track machines by IR.
Adequate clearance shall be allowed so that no component infringes the Minimum clearance
of 102 mm from rail level while travelling,
Wherever applicable, axle load shall be less than 20.32 T with minimum axle spacing of
1.83m. Load per meter shall not exceed 7.67 tones. Axle loads up to 22.82t and lower axle
spacing may be permitted, provided the load combinations do not cause excessive stresses in
the track and bridges of IR. A preliminary check in this regard will be conducted at the stage
of technical acceptance of offers. Further at the stage of consideration on machine design for
issuing speed certificate, stresses in the track and bridges shall be calculated by IR/RDSO
based on design data submitted by the firm as per Annexure-VIII A.B&C and decision of
IR/RDSO shall be final in this regards.- Ref: QO-D-7.1-2Ver.7.0 | Page4of50 | Date oflssue: 51-August 2018 | Specification No.

SPEED CERTIFICATE:
Provisional Speed certificate:
Whenever a new rolling stock is introduced in Indian Railways, a provisional speed
certificate is issued by RDSO, based on certain design parameters of the vehicle. Final
speed clearance of the vehicle is given after conducting detailed oscillation trial of the
vehicle, which is a time taking process. Therefore, issue of provisional speed certificate for
the vehicle becomes a necessity and based on the same, the approval of running of the
vehicle on Indian Railway track is taken from Commissioner of Railway Safety. For issue
of provisional speed certificate, the following actions are required to be taken by the
suppliers.
A- Current suppliers, whose models are approved:
‘The supplier shall give details of the model, year of introduction in Indian Railway,
details of speed certificate issued ete. The supplier shall certify that no change has taken
place in the model being offered with respect to design of under carriage i.e. suspension
system /arrangement, wheel & axle assembly, bogie, braking arrangement loading
pattem of the vehicle etc. and the distribution of axle loads, lateral forces, unsprung
mass and braking force coming on rail is the same. If, there is any ‘change in above
respect, the action shall be taken as detailed in para (B) below.
B- Current suppliers, whose models are not approved / or new:
As soon as the supplier completes the design of the machine as per specifications, the
technical details as per Annexure (VIIA, B & C) shall be supplied for processing of

CCEPTANCE CRITERIA DURING OSCILLATION TRIALS
The spted potential of the machine offered by the firm should be established based
upon oscillation trials conducted in India The tests will be conducted at speed
usually 10% higher than the maximum speed potential indicated by the firm for the
machine under consideration and the following criteria satisfy for the same. For
conducting the tests, a section of mainline track will be selected over which there is
no temporary speed restrictions and which is considered by the Railway as being in a
generally run down condition for mainline standards, but without speed restrictions.
The vehicle will be tested generally for new and worn clearance conditions and
where relevant for operation in the forward and backward directions, ‘The vehicle
selected for tests will be one in average condition for normal maintenance.
‘The criteria applicable for establishing speed potential will be as follows:
A lateral force lasting more than 2 meters should not exceed the Prud Homme"s
Timit of 0.85 (1+P/3) where P is the axle load.
Isolated peak values exceeding the above limit are permissible provided the record
shows establishing characteristics of the vehicle subsequent to the disturbance.
A derailment coefficient should be worked out in the form of ratio between the
lateral force (Hy) and the wheel load (Q) continuously over a period of 1/20"
second; the value Hy/Q shall not exceed 1
‘The values of acceleration recorded in the cab at location as near as possible to the
bogie pivot (as near as possible to axle in case of four wheelers) shall be limited to
0.55g both in vertical and lateral directions. The peak values upto 0.6 g may be
permitted if the records do not indicate a resonant tendency in the region of peak
value.
In the case of such vehicles where measurement of forces is not possible, the
evaluation shall be in terms of ride index based on the accelerations measured as
detailed in Para 2 (iv) above which shall not be greater than 4.5 but a limit of 4.25 is
preferred.
‘A general indication of stable running characteristics of the vehicle as evidenced by
the movement of the bogie in straight and curved track and lateral force and
derailment coefficient of accelerations as the case may be.yO
