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.
Annex A of this document lists the different locations in S&C and plain line which are addressed, together
with cross-references to the relevant clauses and annexes for each case.
1 Scope

check rails, expansion devices and insulated rail joints whether in switches and crossings or in plain line.
The document applies to five categories of fastenings used in tracks with respective maximum axle loads
and minimum curve radii as shown in Table 1.
