About Standard

DVS 1608 (June 2010) Covers design and fatigue strength assessment of welded aluminum structures, specifically in railway applications. Focuses on fatigue-critical joints under real service load conditions.

DVS 1612 (August 2014) Applies to steel arc-welded joints used in rail vehicle construction. Includes rules for fatigue and static stress checks. Valid for welded structures with plate thickness >2 mm (or >1.5 mm in specific cases).
