RIS-2702-RST Iss 3

This document sets out the criteria for addressing defects in freight wagons arising during operation, and the restrictions on their use that apply.

This revision removes the requirements to conduct inspections that existed in the previous issue and focuses on, and develops, the definition of defects.

The defect tables in Appendix A have been rearranged in more logical groupings and the defects have been developed to reflect the components and features on current wagon fleets by removing obsolete features and adding features seen on newer wagons.
