Brake
Accreditation
The brake tests are carried out according to:
- UIC 540, UIC 541-04, UIC 541-05, UIC 543, UIC 544-1, UIC 546, UIC 547
- prEN 15806, prEN 15734-2
- V-BKS (Baurichtlinie V-BKS)
- EBO (Prüfmodul – Bremstechnische Prüfung von Güterwagen, Reisezugwagen und Triebfahrzeugen im Rahmen der Abnahme nach § 32 EBO)
- TSI
In terms of brake tests can be carried out:

- stand-by brake tests
- measuring and recording of all brake parameters according to UIC 540
- hand brake and parking brake tests including determination of maximum gradient on which the full loaded wagon can be kept
- running brake tests on-track (on the test circle):
- run-out tests under all loading conditions of the given vehicle type,
- energetic limits tests (Gotthardtest)
The VÚKV a.s. testing laboratory carries out the measurements with the possibility of on-line monitoring of the following parameters during the run-out tests:
- brake cylinder pression
- pressions in the main and feeding pipes
- distributor pressures (Cv) and auxiliary air reservoirs pressures
- pressures of the load sensors (T-pressures)
- speed of the vehicle under test

- covered brake way
- longitudinal acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle
- pressure forces of the brake shoes
- temperatures of wheel running surfaces or brake discs friction surfaces
- brake cylinder strokes
