EN 17319:2020

Railway applications - Infrastructure - Performance requirements of rail fastening systems for tramways

This document is applicable to fastening systems used with grooved rails for tram, urban rail and industrial tracks, with maximum design axle loads and minimum curve radii in accordance with Table 1.
This document is for type approval of a complete fastening assembly only.
Table 1
The requirements apply to fastening systems for the grooved rail profiles in EN 14811 which act on the foot and/or web of the rail.
This document is not applicable to fastening systems for other rail sections or special fastening systems used at bolted joints or glued joints or in switches and crossings for grooved rails.
NOTE   Requirements for fastenings for use with Vignole rails are included in the EN 13481 series of standards.
