Overview
The standard includes a prerequisite for all manufacturers to prove conformity against a set of qualifying test criteria at the time of tendering. The Qualifying tests include all "normal" acceptance test results plus new "type-casting" features such as fracture toughness, fatigue and residual stress. To provide users with the necessary confidence, acceptance limits have been based on results from rail known to have performed well in demanding track installations. The aim of this amendment document is to update technical contents of the current version of EN 13674-1:2011. The following is mentioned: rail production, qualification tests, acceptance tests and testing of rail steels. Within the scope of this Amendment, drawings of rail sections are also replaced or newly included. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee FES AA-12 "Railway components" at DIN Standards Committee Iron and Steel (FES).
