This part of this European Standard covers the following subjects:
- geometric design principles for wheel guidance;
- definition of basic limits of supply;
- applied forces and their adequate support;
- tolerance levels.
These are illustrated herein by application to a turnout. The main switch and crossing components are represented in turnouts and the principles used in turnouts apply equally to more complex layouts.

General Information

Overview
EN 13232-2:2003/FprA1 is a CEN European standard that sets requirements for the geometric design of switches and crossings (S&C) used in railway track. It concentrates on wheel guidance geometry and related limits, using turnouts as the principal illustration while stating that the same principles apply to more complex track layouts. The draft amendment (FprA1) updates the 2003 standard and links its provisions to EU Directive 2008/57/EC (interoperability), via an informative Annex ZA.
Key topics and requirements
The standard covers the following technical subjects:
- Geometric design principles for wheel guidance - rules and principles governing how track geometry controls wheel movement through switches and crossings.
- Definition of basic limits of supply - specification of dimensional and supply limits for S&C components to ensure compatibility and safe assembly.
- Applied forces and their adequate support - identification of the forces acting on switch and crossing components and expectations for structural support and track resistance.
- Tolerance levels - permissible geometric and dimensional tolerances for components and assembled track to maintain functional performance.
Additional notable content:
- Illustrative application of the above topics to a turnout layout.
- Representation of main switch and crossing components and their geometric relationships.
- Annex ZA describing the relationship between this standard and the Essential Requirements of EU Directive 2008/57/EC, and correspondence with HS and CR TSI infrastructure requirements (TSI INF).
Practical applications
EN 13232-2 is used to:
- Guide the design and verification of turnout geometry to ensure safe wheel guidance and minimize wear.
- Define acceptance criteria for supplied S&C components and assemblies.
- Assess track resistance and structural support requirements where S&C are installed.
- Support conformity assessment and interoperability claims when the standard is cited in the Official Journal of the EU (linked to the TSI INF requirements).
Who should use this standard
- Railway track and infrastructure designers and engineers
- Switch and crossing manufacturers and suppliers
- Infrastructure managers and maintenance planners
- Railway safety and standards compliance teams working on interoperability (TSI/Directive 2008/57/EC)
Related standards and references
- EN 13232 series (switches and crossings)
- EU Directive 2008/57/EC (interoperability)
- HS TSI INF and CR TSI INF (infrastructure TSI documents referenced in Annex ZA)
Keywords: EN 13232-2, switches and crossings, turnout geometric design, track geometry, railway standards, CEN, Directive 2008/57/EC, interoperability.
