Braking systems test laboratory

Our test laboratory uses state-of-the-art, proven measuring equipment to carry out standard measurement tasks but can also offer individual, customised measurement services:

• Stationary in laboratory
• Static and dynamic tests (e.g. for accompanying measurements during railway operation field testing)

Accredited test procedures

• Our test laboratory in Minden is accredited by Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS) in the area of brake tests on rail vehicles in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
• The accreditation encompasses the relevant test procedures, e.g. in accordance with DIN EN 13979-1, DIN/EN 14535, UIC 541-3, UIC 541-4 and UIC 510-5. See the appendix for the accreditation certificate.
• DB Systemtechnik is QMS certified to the ISO 9001 standard.

Our tests and test quantities

• Pad/shoe tests (dry/wet) (coefficients of friction, temperatures, condition of pad/disc before and after, wear)
• Wheels (coefficients of friction, temperatures, residual stress, deformation (deformation during/after braking), fracture strength)
• Shaft/wheel brake discs (coefficients of friction, temperatures, wear, fracture strength, power loss due to passive air cooling)

The detailed and latest list of activities/test procedures in the flexible scope of accreditation in the testing laboratory "Braking systems" can be found in this PDF:

Our tests and test parameters

• Pad/sole tests dry/wet (coefficients of friction, temperatures, condition of pad/disc before/after, wear)
• Wheels (coefficients of friction, temperatures, internal stresses, distortions (deformation during/after braking), crack resistance).
• Shaft/wheel brake discs (coefficients of friction, temperatures, wear, tear resistance, fan power loss)
