Railway applications. Track. Switches and crossings - Switches

•

The scope of this European Standard is:

— establish a working definition for switches and their constituent parts and identify the main types;
— specify the minimum requirements for the manufacture of the switches and/or constituent parts;
— specify codes of practice for inspection and tolerances of both full and half sets of switches and their constituent parts;
— establish the limits and scope of supply;
— list the methods by which switches and their parts should be identified and traced;
— list the different and varying ways by which switches can be described using the following parameters:
- — geometry of the switches;
- — types of construction;
- — performance requirements;
- — design criteria;
- — tolerances and inspection.
