What is BS EN 13981-4 - Technical conditions for inspection and delivery - Forgings about?
BS EN 13981-4 is a European standard that discusses forgings. BS EN 13981-4 specifies requirements for forgings (hand forgings, die forgings) which contribute to the structural properties of the railcar bodyshell and other major structural components.
BS EN 13981-4 specifies particular requirements regarding qualification, quality control, material properties and dimensional tolerances. Furthermore, guidelines for application and use are given.
Note: The requirements on welded joints specified in BS EN 13981-4 are not applicable to welded assemblies and sub-assemblies as they are specified for material qualification purposes only.
