Geotextiles and geotextile-related products - Characteristics required for use in the construction of railways
This European Standard specifies the relevant characteristics of geotextiles and geotextile-related products used in the construction of railways, and the appropriate test methods to determine these characteristics.
The intended use of these geotextiles or geotextile-related products is to fulfil one or more of the following functions: filtration, separation, and reinforcement.
The separation function will always occur in conjunction with filtration or reinforcement, and hence will not be specified alone.
This European Standard applies in superstructure-ballast or substructure-blanket layer, within a sub-grade.
This European Standard is not applicable to geosynthetic barriers, as defined in EN ISO 10318 1.
This European Standard provides for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance of the product to this European Standard and for factory production control procedures.

Overview
EN 13250:2016 (CEN) defines the characteristics and test methods for geotextiles and geotextile‑related products used in railway construction. It covers products intended to provide one or more of the functions: filtration, separation and reinforcement (separation is always specified together with filtration or reinforcement). The standard applies to use in the rail superstructure (ballast) and substructure (blanket layer within a sub‑grade). It is not applicable to geosynthetic barriers (see EN ISO 10318‑1).
EN 13250:2016 also sets out procedures for assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP), factory production control (FPC), declaration of performance (DoP) and CE marking where required by the EU Construction Products Regulation (see Annex ZA).
Key topics
- Intended functions: filtration, separation (in conjunction), reinforcement - select products by function and site conditions.
- Applicable locations: ballast layer, blanket layer within sub‑grade.
- Required characteristics and test methods: the standard references relevant normative tests such as:
- EN ISO 10319 (wide‑width tensile)
- EN ISO 11058 (water permeability normal to plane)
- EN ISO 12236 (static puncture / CBR)
- EN ISO 12956 (characteristic opening size / pore size)
- EN ISO 12957‑1/2 (friction characteristics - direct shear / inclined plane)
- EN ISO 10722 (mechanical damage under repeated loading)
- EN ISO 13431 (tensile creep and creep rupture)
- EN ISO 13427 (abrasion simulation)
- EN 12224 (resistance to weathering)
These tests help determine durability, mechanical performance and hydraulic behaviour relevant to track stability and longevity.
- Durability & design life: guidance on service life (temporary vs permanent) and how to derive design values (in line with EN 1997‑1 / Eurocode 7).
- Quality systems: AVCP, FPC, initial inspection and continuous surveillance; Annex A details FPC requirements and test frequencies.
- Safety & environment: release of dangerous substances and use of reworked/post‑consumer materials are addressed.
Applications
Who uses EN 13250:2016:
- Manufacturers - to declare product characteristics and implement factory production control.
- Railway designers and specifiers - to select geotextiles for ballast stabilisation, filtration, sub‑ballast separation and reinforcement.
- Contractors and installation supervisors - for acceptance criteria, test verification and installation quality control.
- Certification bodies / authorities - for AVCP, DoP and CE marking conformity assessment.
Practical benefits:
- Ensures consistent performance and compatibility with railway design requirements.
