Investigation of Steel Bridge Coatings Used by Deutsche Bahn - Corrosion Protection - DBS 918084
Receive a quote tailored to your needs
The protection of steel ballast troughs requires coating systems that can withstand very high mechanical stresses while ensuring corrosion protection for more than 25 years.
The test criteria for the approval of such coating systems in accordance with Sheet 84, Annex, were previously described in the technical delivery conditions and test specifications of TL/TP-KOR Steel Structures. DB Netz AG has revised the technical delivery and testing conditions for Sheet 84 and incorporated them into a Deutsche Bahn Standard (DBS), which has been in effect since August 1, 2015: DBS 918084 “Technical Delivery Conditions and Technical Testing Regulations for Coating Materials for Ballast Trough Coatings (Sheet 84).”
At Kiwa, we conduct tests for you in accordance with DBS 918084. As a result, you receive a performance certificate from a notified testing body as well as a certificate of conformity based on initial and repeat tests.
During bridge inspection, all system-relevant tests are performed, including corrosion protection testing, ballast trough testing, climate testing, and weathering testing.

Bridge inspection in accordance with DIN 1076
Bridge structures must be inspected at regular intervals in accordance with the requirements of DIN 1076 and the Federal Guidelines for the Monitoring of Structural Safety (RÜV) to detect damage at an early stage. In addition to structural durability, the stability and traffic safety of the structure must also be assessed.
