Railway applications - Gauges - Part 1: General - Common rules for infrastructure and rolling stock
SIST EN 15273-1:2013+A1:2017

This European Standard is applicable to authorities involved in railway operation and may also be applied for light vehicles (e.g. trams, metros, etc. running on two rails) and their associated infrastructure, but not for systems such as rail-guided buses.
It allows rolling stock and infrastructures to be dimensioned and their compliance to be checked relative to applicable gauging rules.
For rolling stock and infrastructure, this standard is applicable to new designs, to modifications and to the checking of vehicles and infrastructures already in use.
This document EN 15273-1 covers:
   the general principles;
   the various elements and phenomena affecting the determination of gauges;
   the various calculation methods applicable to the elements shared by the infrastructure and by the rolling stock;
   the sharing rules for elements taken into account in calculations specific to the infrastructure and to the rolling stock;
   a catalogue of European gauges.
This document does not cover:
   conditions to be met to ensure safety of passengers on platforms and of persons required to walk along the tracks;
   conditions to be met by the fixed equipment maintenance machines in active position;
   the space to be cleared for the running track of rubber-tyred metros and other vehicles;
   rules applicable to extraordinary transportation, however some formulae may be used;
   rules applicable to the design of the overhead contact line system;
   rules applicable to the design of the current collection system on a third rail;
   simulation methods for the running of vehicles, however, it does not confirm the validity of existing simulations;
   verification rules of wagon loadings;
   coding methods for combined transportation;
   infrastructure gauges for very small curve radii (e.g. R < 150 m for gauge G1).

Railway applications - Gauges - Part 3: Structure gauges
SIST EN 15273-3:2013+A1:2017

This standard:
-   defines the various profiles needed to install, verify and maintain the various structures near the structure gauge;
-   lists the various phenomena to be taken into account to determine the structure gauge;
-   defines a methodology that may be used to calculate the various profiles from these phenomena;
-   lists the rules to determine the distance between the track centres;
-   lists the rules to be complied with when building the platforms;
-   lists the rules to determine the pantograph gauge;
-   lists the formulae needed to calculate the structure gauges in the catalogue.
The defined gauge includes the space to be gauged and maintained to allow the running of rolling stock, and the rules for calculation and verification intended for sizing the rolling stock to run on one or several infrastructures without interference risk.
This standard defines methodologies to demonstrate gauge compatibility between infrastructure and rolling stock.
This standard defines the responsibilities of the following parties:
a)   for the infrastructure:
1)   gauge clearance;
2)   maintenance;
3)   infrastructure monitoring.
b)   for the rolling stock:
1)   compliance of the operating rolling stock with the gauge concerned;
2)   maintenance of this compliance over time.
The gauges included in these standards have been developed as part of their application on European railways. Other networks such as regional, local, urban and suburban networks may apply the gauge regulations defined in this standard. They may be required to make use of specific methodologies, particularly where:
-   specific rolling stock is used (for example: underground trains, trams, etc. operating on two rails);
-   use occurs in other ranges of radii;
-   others, etc.
The catalogue included in this standard only includes a selection of gauges and is not exhaustive. Each network is free to define the gauges in accordance with their own needs.

ISO 3095:2013 specifies measurement methods and conditions to obtain reproducible and comparable exterior noise emission levels and spectra for all kinds of vehicles operating on rails or other types of fixed track, hereinafter conventionally called "unit".
ISO 3095:2013 is applicable to type testing of units. It does not include all the instructions to characterize the noise emission of the other infrastructure related sources (bridges, crossings, switching, impact noise, curving noise, etc.).
ISO 3095:2013 is not applicable to:
-      the noise emission of track maintenance units while working;
-      environmental impact assessment;
-      noise emmission assessment;
-      guided buses;
-      warning signal noise.
The results may be used, for example:
-      to characterize the exterior noise emitted by units;
-      to compare the noise emission of various units on a particular track section;
-      to collect basic source data for units.
