  • suspensions dampers, (e.g. primary vertical dampers, secondary vertical dampers and secondary lateral dampers);

  • yaw dampers;

  • roll dampers;

  • inter-vehicles dampers.

• dampers that control the dynamic behaviour of mechanical systems:

  • pantograph dampers;

  • motor dampers, etc.

All relevant terminology which is specific to the subject is defined in this European Standard.
