Railway applications - Gauges - Part 1: Generic explanations and methods of gauging

The gauges and processes included in this standard have been developed for application on mainline railway networks using various track gauges. Other networks such as urban and suburban may apply the gauge rules defined in this standard but are outside of its scope.
This document prEN 15273-1 contains:
— the definitions and symbols for all prEN 15273 documents;
— the general explanation of various elements and phenomena affecting railway gauging;
— the general explanation of various calculation methods and processes applicable to railway;
— gauging that allow the dimensioning of the rolling stock and the infrastructure.
NOTE The rules given in this standard are not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” referred to in clause 4.2.3.1. (7) & (8) for track gauge 1520 mm of the merged TSI Loc and Pass (Commission Regulation N° 1302/2014 of 18 November 2014).
