(Main)Railway applications - Gauges - Part 1: General - Common rules for Rolling Stock and Infrastructure
Railway applications - Gauges - Part 1: General - Common rules for Rolling Stock and Infrastructure
This document contains:
- the definitions and symbols for all EN 15273 documents;
- the general explanation of various elements and phenomena affecting heavy rail gauging;
- the general explanation of various calculation methods and processes applicable to the heavy rail gauging that allow the dimensioning of the rolling stock and the infrastructure.
This document is applicable to heavy rail vehicles and networks using various track gauges. Other vehicles and networks are outside the scope of this document, but the rules may be applied to them with some adjustments and agreement of the share of responsibility between rolling stock and infrastructure.
This document is not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” for track gauge 1 520 mm.

This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 256.
If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations
which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and
United Kingdom.
Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they are
aware and to provide supporting documentation.
