NOTE! Indirect lashings (top-over lashings) alone are not accepted <strong>for</strong> preventing tipping. If
this is the case also in cargo transport units intended <strong>for</strong> combined transports is unclear.
3.4.4 Acceptable methods preventing rolling
Rolling may be prevented by any <strong>of</strong> the following methods:
1. According to chapter 5.6 rolling can be prevented by fixed walls, sides, stanchions,
scotches, trestles or cradles.
2. Requirements on securing <strong>of</strong> rolling units with the axis in transverse direction are
found in chapter 5.6.1.
3. Requirements on securing <strong>of</strong> rolling units with the axis in longitudinal direction are
found in chapter 5.6.2.
4. Wheel and track based vehicles and machinery are to be secured against longitudinal
and transverse movement using scotches or by direct lasing according to chapter 5.6.3.
3.5 Test <strong>of</strong> new loading methods
3.5.1 Impact tests according to UIC
New loading methods may be tested in longitudinal direction by impact tests. The tests are
described in Table 4 <strong>of</strong> the UIC guideline section 1. A test is carried out by shunting the
wagon loaded according to the method to be tested (test wagon) against another wagon
(impact wagon). The impact wagon shall have a total weight <strong>of</strong> 80 tons and be un-braked. The
same result will be achieved if the impact wagon is shunted against the test wagon.
The test program <strong>for</strong> wagons subject to fly and gravity shunting conditions is as follows:
Two impacts in the same direction,
- 1 st impact at 5-7 km/h
- 2 nd impact at 8-9 km/h
