Wear, failures and other damage influence the operational safety of railway vehicles. Depending on the wear characteristics, application parameters and the current state of the railway vehicles and the cost effectiveness, a maintenance system shall be specified by which it is ensured that the necessary technical target state is maintained. The general field of application of the standard DIN 27203-8 is specified in DIN 27200:2011-11, clause 1 and subclause 3.1.
