prEN 13232-5:2014 (E)
Foreword
This document (prEN 13232-5:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway
applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13232-5:2005+A1:2011.
This series of standards “Railway applications – Track – Switches and crossings for Vignole rails” covers the
design and quality of switches and crossings in flat bottomed rail. The list of Parts is as follows:
 Part 1: Definitions
 Part 2: Requirements for geometric design
 Part 3: Requirements for wheel/rail interaction
 Part 4: Actuation, locking and detection
 Part 5: Switches
 Part 6: Fixed common and obtuse crossings
 Part 7: Crossings with moveable parts
 Part 8: Expansion devices
 Part 9 : Layouts
Part 1 contains terminology used throughout all parts of this series. Parts 2 to 4 contain basic design guides
and are applicable to all switch and crossing assemblies. Parts 5 to 8 deal with particular types of equipment
including their tolerances. These use Parts 1 to 4 as a basis. Part 9 defines the functional and geometric
dimensions and tolerances for layout assembly.
The following terms are used within to define the parties involved in using the EN as the technical basis for a
transaction:
Customer the Operator or User of the equipment, or the Purchaser of the equipment on the User's behalf.
Supplier the Body responsible for the use of the EN in response to the Customer's requirements.
prEN 13232-5:2014 (E)
Introduction
The requirements of switches are that they are capable of performing their intended purpose, which is to
cause a vehicle to transfer from one track to the other track of a turnout, either in the facing or trailing
direction. The switches are designed to withstand all external forces from rolling stock, thermal influences etc.
Switches are manufactured to give safe (and acceptable) motion of the vehicle based on conditions in the
specification.
prEN 13232-5:2014 (E)
1 Scope
The scope of this European Standard is:
 establish a working definition for switches and their constituent parts and identify the main types;
 specify the minimum requirements for the manufacture of the switches and/or constituent parts;
 specify codes of practice for inspection and tolerances of both full and half sets of switches and their
constituent parts;
 establish the limits and scope of supply;
 list the methods by which switches and their parts should be identified and traced;
 list the different and varying ways by which switches can be described using the following parameters:
 geometry of the switches;
 types of construction;
 performance requirements;
 design criteria;
 tolerances and inspection.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in prEN 13232-1:2013, and the
following apply.
3.1 Construction
3.1.1
flexible switch
switch rail, the toe of which is moved by flexing about a fixed heel
Note 1 to entry: The switch rail in the movable area of the switch is made of one profile only. This can be either
standard rail profile or special profile. If a transition from special profile to standard rail profile is required, this takes place
in the fixed part of the switch rail. In case of a weld, the weld is also located in the fixed part of the switch rail (see Figure
1).
3.1.2
spring rail switches
the switch rail in the movable area of the switch is made of two different profiles. The transition and the weld
between one to the other profile take place in the movable part of the switch rail. This weld is secured by
fishplating (see Figure 2)
3.1.3
loose-heel switch (pivot-articulated switches)
rigid switch rail which pivots about its heel (see Figure 3).
Variations from these basic forms may be used:

Key
1 Stock rail 4 Moveable
2 Switch rail 5 Fixed
3 Weld
