Overview
This European Standard specifies the minimum technical requirements and the tolerances for the acceptance of works on ballasted track situated on plain line and on switches and crossings and rail expansion devices, as part of the track, for 1 435 mm and wider track gauge railways, concerning construction of new track, track renewal and track maintenance. More particularly, this standard contains the requirements for the documentation of work parameters, for the tolerances for relative track geometry and absolute track position and for the acceptance procedures. This standard does not deal with contractual and legal aspects and it does not deal with either works related to reprofiling the railhead nor the associated measurements, since these works are dealt with by other parts of EN 13231 series. Related works, for example, platform reconstruction, formation, drainage, level crossings are not dealt with in this standard. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 087-00-01-06 UA "Abnahme von Oberbauteilen" ("Acceptance of trackwork") of the Railway Standardization Committee (FSF) at DIN.
