D
Title: Revision of GMRT2100 Requirements for Rail Vehicle Structures issue 5
Submitted by: RSSB
(Lead Committee: Rolling Stock)
This proposal sought to revise GMRT2100 issue 5 which was published in
June 2012. The document needs to be aligned with the latest version of the
LOC&PAS TSI published on 01 January 2015 as many of the notified National
Technical Rules identified for GB operation are no longer mandatory. In addition
development of new EuroNorms means that some sections of GMRT2100 are
effectively superseded for example bogie frame requirements in Part 4 and lifting
and jacking requirements in Part 9.
