This document (EN 13232-7:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway
applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2024, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by April 2024.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

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 geometric and
non-geometric acceptance criteria for inspection of layouts.
The changes introduced in this document bring further detail and clarity to the requirements and a
number of the figures, the structure of the document is largely unchanged from the previous revision.
This document has been prepared under a standardisation request addressed to [the relevant ESO] by
the European Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these
requests for its Member States.
For the relationship with EU Legislation, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this
document.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,

Introduction
Crossings with moveable parts allow a vehicle to pass the area where the two rails cross with a
continuous running edge, so that the wheels of the vehicle are fully supported and guided in the whole
crossing area, either in the facing or trailing direction.
The main criteria for the selection of crossings with moveable parts are:
— improvement of ride comfort;
— reduction of noise and vibration;
— reduction of maintenance;
— mixed traffic conditions (e.g. train/tram);
— security against derailment.
This last point is particularly important (critical) in diamond crossings. Effectively, as the wheel
diameter and the obtuse crossing angle decrease, the distance without guidance (EN 13232-3:2023,
4.2.5) increases. Therefore, to ensure the safety of running of the wheel set over the diamond crossing,
it is sometimes necessary to design the obtuse crossing as moveable. Rules and recommendations for
security against derailment in diamond crossings are set down in EN 13232-3:2023.
Crossings with moveable parts experience a combination of external forces from rolling stock, thermal
influences etc. Operating, signalling systems, heater systems, load bearing supports, maintainability and
safety are all major factors that affect the design.
The performance will be influenced by axle loads, frequency of traffic and speed.
