Measures to avoid overriding
(a) Device to protect against the overriding of buffers
The device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall ensure that the subframes of the wagons remain an the same horizontal level. The following requirements shall be fulfilled:
- The device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall not interfere with the normal operation of the wagons (for example negotiating curves, Berne rectangle, shunter’s handle). The device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall permit the free taking of curves by another wagon fitted with a device to protect against the overriding of buffers in a curve of 75 m radius).
- The device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall not interfere with the normal functioning of the buffers (elastic or plastic deformation) [see also special provision TE22 in 6.8.4 (b)].
- The device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall function independently of the condition of the load and the wear and tear of the wagons concerned.
- The device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall withstand a vertical force (upwards or dawnwards) of 150 kN.
- The device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall be effective irrespective af whether the other wagon concerned is fitted with a device to protect against the overriding of buffers. It shall not be possible for devices to protect against the overriding of buffers to obstruct each other.
- The increase in the overhang for fixing the device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall be less than 20 mm.
- The width of the device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall be at least as big as the width of the buffer head (with the exception of the device to protect against the overriding of buffers located above the left-hand footboard, which shall be tangent to the free space for the shunter, although the maximum width of the buffer must be covered).
- A device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall be located above every buffer.
- The device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall permit the attachment of buffers prescribed in UIC leaflet 573 and shall not present an obstacle to maintenance work.
- The device to protect against the overriding of buffers shall be built in such a way that the risk of penetration of the tank end is not increased in the event of a shock.
Measures to limit damage when buffers override
(b) Increasing the wall thickness of the tank ends or using other materials with a greater energy absorption capacity
In this case, the wall thickness of the tank ends shall be at least 12 mm.
However, the wall thickness of the ends of tanks for the carriage of gases UN 1017 chlorine, UN 1749 chlorine trilfluoride, UN 2189 dichlorosilane, UN 2901 bromine chloride and UN 3057 trifluoroacetyl chloride shall in this case be at least 18 mm.
(c) Sandwich cover for tank ends
If protection is provided by a sandwich cover, it shall cover the entire area of the tank ends and shall have a specific energy absorption capacity of at least 22 kJ (corresponding to a wail thickness of 6 mm), which shall be measured in accordance with the method described in Annex B to EN standard 13094 „Tanks for the transport of dangerous goods - Metallic tanks with a working pressure not exceeding 0.5 bar - Design and construction”. If the risk of corrosion cannot be eliminated by structural measures, it shall be made possible to undertake an inspection of the external wall of the tank end, e.g. by providing a removable cover.
(d) Protective shield at each end of the wagon
If a protective shield is used at each end of the wagon, the following requiremants shall apply:
- the protective shield shall cover the width of the tank in each case, up to the respective height. In addition, the width of the protective shield shall, over the entire height of the shield, be at least as wide as the distance defined by the outside edge of the buffer heads;
- the height of the protective shield, measured from the top edge of the headstock, shall cover
= either two thirds of the tank diameter
= or at least 900 mm and shall in addition be equipped at the top edge with an ariesting device for climbing buffers;
- the protective shield shall have a minimum vall thickness of 6 mm;
- the protective shield and its attachment points shall be such that the possibility of the tank ends being penetrated by the protective shield itself is minimized.
The vall thicknesses specified in (b), (c) and (d) above relate to reference steel. If other materials are used, except if mild steel is used, the equivalent thickness shall be calculated in accordance with the formula in 6.8.2.1.18. The values of Rm and A to be used shall be specified minimum values according to material standards.”

Movement of packages may also be prevented by filling any voids by the use of dunnage or by blocking and bracing. Where restraints such as banding or straps are used, these shall not be over-tightened to cause damage or deformation of the package.”
