 EN 50125-1 Standard for Railways

🔴 With so many short forms used in our work all around, it gets confusing and it is also not possible to remember/know all of them. So here's something new.


🔴 I will take up one short form/standard name and describe in a couple of lines what it is. Some of you may be familiar with some of the common ones.

Today it is 📌 EN 50125-1 📌


🔴 EN stands for European standards.

🔴 EN 50125-1 is the standard used in railways to determine if the equipment (material, design) is compatible with the environmental conditions in Europe.

🔴Simply put, if you are in charge of design and manufacturing of a railway part, you have to look at this standard to see the environmental condition in the area of operation of the train.

🔴 The selection of the material, design, surface treatments, have to be then decided depending on how severe the environment is (sunny/cold/wind/snow etc.)

Corrosion risk planning - 1 - Lead acid battery

By
Corrosion is a quality, environment, and safety issue. Hence, it has to come under the cope of integrated management system audits However at the moment, it is more or less considered a quality issue. As such, the general tendency is to solve corrosion issues as they come. Especially in new inventions, the foresight to look for potential corrosion risk gets lost in the attempt to focus and highlight the amazing qualities of the said inventions. Hence, I have initiated this series, where I will take a component and point out the potential corrosion and damage risk areas.  Here goes the first one - lead acid battery cell.
