What is BS EN 15085-4 -Production requirements for welding railway vehicles about?
BS EN 15085 is a European standard that discusses the welding of railway vehicles and components. BS EN 15085-4 is the fourth 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 15085-4 describes the production requirements (i.e., preparation and execution) of the welding work.
BS EN 15085-4 can also be used by internal and external parties, including certification bodies, to assess the organisation’s ability to meet customer, regulatory, and the organisation requirements.
Note: BS EN 15085-4 is aimed at defining the terms of enforcement applicable to European Standards, it should not be construed as a substitute to these standards.

- Manufacturers of railway vehicles and components
- Entity or personnel responsible for welding
- Test centres
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 15085-4 -Production requirements for welding railway vehicles?
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 15085-4 guideline assists you with guidelines regarding preparation before welding, welding planning documents, production weld tests, general requirements, welding consumables, parent metals, welding processes, and special requirements for maintenance welding of railway vehicles.
This assists in improving and easing the process of welding railway vehicles and their components.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 15085-4, you can enhance the efficacy of railway vehicles and their components. In addition, meet the production requirements.
