This series of European Standards “Railway Applications – Track – Switches and Crossings” covers the design and quality of switches and crossings in flat bottomed rail. The list of parts is as follows:

— Part 1 : Definitions
— Part 2 : Requirements for geometric design
— Part 3 : Requirements for wheel/rail interaction
— Part 4 : Actuation, locking and detection
— Part 5 : Switches
— Part 6 : Fixed common and obtuse crossings
— Part 7 : Crossings with movable parts
— Part 8 : Expansion devices
— Part 9 : Layouts

Part 1 contains terminology used throughout all parts of this series. Parts 2 to 4 contain basic design guides and are applicable to all switch and crossing assemblies. Parts 5 to 8 deal with particular types of equipment, including their tolerances. Part 9 defines the functional and geometric dimensions and tolerances for layout assemblies. These use Parts 1 to 4 as a basis.

The following terms are used within to define the parties involved in using the European Standard as the technical basis for a transaction:

Customer	The Operator or User of the equipment, or the Purchaser of the equipment on the User's behalf.
