Railway applications - Gauges - Part 4: Catalogue of defined gauges

The gauges included in this document have been developed for application on mainline railway networks using various track gauges.  Other networks are outside the scope of this document, but the rules may be applied to them.
This document is a catalogue of reference profiles and their associated rules for the defined gauging process. This document is intended to be used with EN 15273-1, EN 15273-2 and EN 15273-3.
This document is not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” for track gauge 1 520 mm.
