Overview

The European Standard series EN 13481 "Railway applications - Track - Performance requirements for fastening systems" consists of the following parts: - Part 1: Definitions - Part 2: Fastening systems for concrete sleepers - Part 3: Fastening systems for wood sleepers - Part 4: Fastening systems for steel sleepers - Part 5: Fastening systems for slab track with rail on the surface or rail embedded in a channel - Part 7: Special fastening systems for switches and crossings and check rails. Part 6 does not exist in this series. This European Standard (EN 13481-2:2012+A1:2017) is applicable to fastening systems in Catego ries A-E as specified in EN 13481-1:2012, 3.1, for use on concrete sleepers in ballasted track with maximum axle loads, and minimum curve radii as shown in Table 1 and described in the following: A 130 kN 40 m, B 180 kN 80 m, C 260 kN 150 m, D 260 kN 400 m, E 350 kN 150 m. The requirements apply to: - fastening systems which act on the foot and/or web of the rail including direct fastening systems and indirect fastening systems; - fastening systems with dynamic stiffness, kLFA, not less than 50 MN/m; - fastening systems for rail sections included in EN 13674-1 (excluding 49E4) or EN 13674-4. This standard is not applicable to fastening systems for other rail sections, rigid fastening systems or special fastening systems used at bolted joints or glued joints. This standard should only be used for type approval of complete fastening systems. The standard differs from DIN EN 13481-2:2012-08 as follows: a) the scope of application; b) the inclusion of normative references to EN 13146-10; c) the revision of Table 3 in Subclause 5.5 "Effect of repeated loading"; d) the revision of Subclause 5.11 "Cast-in and glued-in fastening components"; e) the deletion of Annex A and renaming of Annex B to Annex A; f) Annex ZA, which describes the relationship between this European standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 2008/57/EC, has been completely revised and now refers to EU Regulation 1299/2014 (new TSI Infrastructure).
