What is BS EN 15807 about?
BS EN 15807 applies to pneumatic half couplings designed to couple either the brake pipes or main reservoir pipes of railway vehicles, without taking the type of vehicles and track-gauge into consideration.
BS EN 15807 provides requirements for the design, dimensions, testing and quality assurance of pneumatic half couplings.
Who is BS EN 15807 for?
BS EN 15807 on pneumatic half couplings is relevant to:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of pneumatic half couplings
- Railway authorities
- Product design engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- Installers
Why should you use BS EN 15807?
A coupling is a mechanism used to connect  rolling stock together in a train. BS EN 15807 gives you information regarding the coupling used in railway vehicles i.e., pneumatic half couplings used to connect railway vehicles' brake pipes or main reservoir pipes.
BS EN 15807 talks about varies parameters involved in the manufacturing of pneumatic half couplings, which are used to connect either the brake pipes or main reservoir pipes of railway vehicles, without regard to vehicle type or track gauge.
BS EN 15807 informs you about the requirements for the design, dimensions, testing, and quality assurance of pneumatic half couplings, as well as the understanding of coupling hoses for both pipes, using various test techniques to ensure the couplings.
Overall, BS EN 15805 lets you deliver high-quality and reliable products in line with best industry practices. Furthermore, the use of BS EN 15805 enables you to maintain a good braking system that minimizes product failure and the disruption caused by it.
