本欧洲标准规定了轴箱滚动轴承、壳体、密封件和润滑脂系统钻机性能测试的原则和方法。规定了在干线上运行的车辆的试验参数和最低性能要求。对于在其他网络（如城市轨道）上运行的车辆，可以选择不同的测试参数和性能要求。本标准历史上是为舷外应用而制定的，但可用于具有其他轴承布置的车辆（例如:内侧应用或单轮）。 它给出了一些可能的例子，其中“顺序性能测试”考虑了特定应用或车辆平台内的各种不同使用条件。 它详细描述了水密性试验以及现场试验的基本原理和最低要求。 根据EN 12080和EN 12081，本欧洲标准仅适用于装有滚动轴承和润滑脂的轴箱。 包含以下内容:BS EN 12082:2017

This European Standard specifies the principles and methods for a rig performance test of the system of axlebox rolling bearing(s), housing, seal(s) and grease. Test parameters and minimum performance requirements for vehicles in operation on main lines are specified. Different test parameters and performance requirements may be selected for vehicles in operation on other networks (e.g. urban rail). This standard is historically developed for outboard applications but can be used for vehicles with other bearing arrangements (e.g.: inboard application or single wheels). It gives some possible examples where a "sequenced performance test" addresses the broad range of different service conditions within a specific application or vehicle platform into account. It describes in detail the water tightness test and basic principles and minimum requirements for a field test. This European Standard only applies to axleboxes equipped with rolling bearings and greases according to EN 12080 and EN 12081.Incorporates the following:BS EN 12082:2017
