Railway applications - Track - Performance requirements for fastening systems - Part 5: Fastening systems for ballastless tracks
This document is applicable to fastening systems, in Categories A - D as specified in EN 13481-1:2012, 3.1 for attaching rails to the uppermost surface of concrete or steel elements in ballastless tracks, including tracks on open deck bridges, and for embedded rails in ballastless tracks, for maximum axle loads and minimum curve radii in accordance with Table 1.
[Table 1 - Fastening category criteria]
NOTE The maximum axle load for Categories A and B does not apply to maintenance vehicles.
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 for rail sections included in EN 13674-1 (excluding 49E4), or EN 13674-4.
This document is not applicable to fastening systems for wood or polymer composite sleepers used in ballastless track, which are included in EN 13481-3.
This document is not applicable to rigid fastening systems, special fastening systems used at bolted joints or glued joints or special low clamping force fastenings used to mitigate track-bridge interaction effects.
This document is for type approval of complete fastening systems. In track forms in which there are rail seat blocks or sleepers mounted in "boots" (under-sleeper pads) the concrete element and its resilient support are considered to be parts of the elastic fastening system. If the track form includes floating slabs, (i.e. resiliently supported concrete elements with more than one fastening per rail) those concrete elements and their resilient supports are considered to be parts of the ballastless track and not of the fastening system.

Applications ferroviaires - Voie - Exigences de performance pour les systèmes de fixation - Partie 5 : Systèmes de fixations pour voies sans ballast
Le présent document est applicable aux systèmes de fixation des catégories A à D spécifiées dans l'EN 13481-1:2012, 3.1, utilisés pour fixer les rails sur la surface supérieure d'éléments en béton ou en acier sur des voies sans ballast, y compris sur des ponts à tablier à l'air libre, et pour les rails enrobés dans des voies sans ballast, avec des charges à l'essieu maximales et des rayons de courbure minimaux respectifs selon le Tableau 1.
[Tableau 1 - Critères de classification des systèmes de fixation]
Les exigences s'appliquent :
- aux systèmes de fixation qui agissent sur le patin et/ou l'âme du rail, y compris les systèmes de fixation directs et les systèmes de fixation indirects ;
- aux systèmes de fixation pour les profils de rail décrits dans l'EN 13674-1 (à l'exclusion du profil 49E4) ou l'EN 13674-4.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux systèmes de fixation destinés à être utilisés sur des traverses en bois ou composite à matrice polymère employées en voie sans ballast, qui sont spécifiées dans l'EN 13481-3.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux systèmes de fixation rigides, aux systèmes de fixation spéciaux utilisés au droit des éclisses ou aux fixations par effort d'application au patin du rail utilisées pour limiter les effets liés à l'interaction voie-ouvrage d’art.
Le présent document est destiné à l'homologation de type de systèmes de fixation complets. Pour les formes de voie intégrant des tables d'appui ou des traverses montées en « chaussons » (semelles sous traverse), l'élément en béton et son support élastique sont assimilés à des parties du système de fixation. Si la forme de voie intègre des dalles flottantes (c'est-à-dire des éléments en béton soutenus de manière élastique avec plusieurs fixations par rail), ces éléments en béton et leurs supports élastiques sont assimilés à des parties de la voie sans ballast et non à des parties du système de fixation.

Introduction
A series of tests is used to assess the suitability of fastening systems for use in railway track, i.e. for type
approval of complete fastening systems. This document only sets requirements considered relevant to
ensure the safe, long-term operation of the track system. The test methods are described in other
associated standards.
The various Categories of rail fastenings used in this document are defined in EN 13481-1:2012.
1 Scope
This document is applicable to fastening systems, in Categories A – D as specified in EN 13481-1:2012,
3.1 for attaching rails to the uppermost surface of concrete or steel elements in ballastless tracks,
including tracks on open deck bridges, and for embedded rails in ballastless tracks, for maximum axle
loads and minimum curve radii in accordance with Table 1.
Table 1 — Fastening category criteria
Category Maximum design axle load Minimum curve radius
kN m
A 130 40
B 180 80
C 260 150
D 260 400
NOTE The maximum axle load for Categories A and B does not apply to maintenance vehicles.
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 for rail sections included in EN 13674-1 (excluding 49E4), or EN 13674-4.
This document is not applicable to fastening systems for wood or polymer composite sleepers used in
ballastless track, which are included in EN 13481-3.
This document is not applicable to rigid fastening systems, special fastening systems used at bolted joints
or glued joints or special low clamping force fastenings used to mitigate track-bridge interaction effects.
This document is for type approval of complete fastening systems. In track forms in which there are rail
seat blocks or sleepers mounted in “boots” (under-sleeper pads) the concrete element and its resilient
support are considered to be parts of the elastic fastening system. If the track form includes floating slabs,
(i.e. resiliently supported concrete elements with more than one fastening per rail) those concrete
elements and their resilient supports are considered to be parts of the ballastless track and not of the
fastening system.
