EN 12081:2007+A1:2010 (E)

Introduction
This European Standard has been drawn up with the purpose to define the minimum requirements of greases
used for the lubrication of rolling bearings in railway axleboxes. The purpose is to ensure a certain
performance level in the interest of operating safety in international traffic. Performance implies a certain
quality level of the vehicle running gear, which every railway undertaking may require, notably by imposing
procedures in approval and quality assurance for the supply of axleboxes.

Lubricating greases intended for use in axlebox bearing application need to fulfil the requirements of this
European Standard, complying with Table A.1. Additional requirements for high speed or specific bearing
types, environment or operating conditions are detailed in Table B.1.

This specification has been written so that it reflects the typical performance of e.g. a NLGI grade 2 simple
2
lithium soap grease, based on a mineral oil with a base oil viscosity of 100 mm /s at 40 °C such as would be
found in current use. However, this specification needs to not restrict or limit grease evolution for more
demanding applications of today and in the future, hence several parameters are left open for agreement. For
example, the base oil viscosity can be reduced for high speed applications, and where sealed bearing units
are being used the grease grade may need to be lower.

requirements are given for two speed classes.

Approval procedures

C.1 General
The customer shall specify the type of approval applicable to the grease as a function of the application as
agreed and documented in accordance with Clause 5:

— complete approval type C; as specified in C.2;

— reduced approval type R; as specified in C.3.

C.2 Complete procedure, Type C

C.2.1 General

The type C grease approval procedure consists of four stages.

C.2.2 Stage 1

The supplier shall present the technical data sheet stating the main characteristics and applications of the
grease he judges to comply with this European Standard.

C.2.3 Stage 2

The customer shall verify that the grease complies with the requirements as listed in Table A.1 and, if required,
in Table B.1. If the grease passes these tests, the specification sheet reporting the values obtained during the
approval of all characteristics listed in Table A.1 and Table B.1, as required for approval, shall be drawn up.

C.2.4 Stage 3

If the above requirements are met by the grease, a rig performance test shall be carried out representing the
service conditions as laid down in EN 12082. The test shall be made with rolling bearings previously approved.
The criteria used to evaluate the results of the completed performance test are listed in prEN 12082.

C.2.5 Stage 4

The final approval of the grease depends upon the results of a service test with different types of axleboxes,
mounted on different types of vehicles representative of the future application of the grease in commercial
service. The procedure is described in EN 12082. The criteria used to evaluate the results of the completed
service test are listed in EN 12082.

12
 EN 12081:2007+A1:2010 (E)

C.2.6 Decision

The approval of the grease shall be granted when:

— technical documents have been approved;

— characteristics conform with those laid down in this European Standard and those indicated on the
various documents submitted;

— performance tests have been satisfactory;

— service tests reveal no abnormality, which can be directly attributed to the grease tested.

C.3 Reduced procedure, Type R

The Type R grease approval procedure shall be specified by the customer. It shall include at least Stage 1 of
the Type C procedure and may also include parts of the other stages.
