Within this length, deviations from straightness of not more than 1 mm are allowed in the vertical and horizontal directions. The deviation in the vertical direction is only allowed if the end of the rail has a continuous upsweep. Other measurement techniques can be used. 8.2.2.2 Straightness of the rails In the vertical direction, the end of the rail shall have an upsweep or downsweep of not more than 10 mm when the rail is free-standing on its foot on a suitable support. The horizontal straightness between the ends of the rails shall be checked with the naked eye. If one rail appears to bend too much in this assessment, it shall be examined. The minimum tolerable radius is R = 800 m. 8.2.2.3 Straightness requirements for construction rails The requirements given in 8.2.2.1 and 8.2.2.2 also apply to construction rails except for block rails 310C1 and 338C1. The following requirements apply to them: The horizontal and vertical curvature between the ends of the rails shall be checked with the naked eye. If one rail appears to bend too much in this assessment, it shall be examined. The horizontal and vertical bend of the rail between the ends of the rails shall not exceed 1 mm/m length of the rail. The end straightness and the straightness between the ends of the rails shall be checked with a 1,5 m long steel straight edge. Within this length, deviations from straightness of not more than 2 mm are allowed in the vertical and horizontal directions. 8.2.2.4 Twist measurement The requirements of Tables 6 and 7 apply. The rail shall be tested standing on its foot on a suitable low-friction inspection bed. The twist shall be measured by inserting feeler gauges or other suitable measuring instruments between the base of the rail and the rail skid nearest the rail end (Figure 5). Other appropriate measurement methods can be used. 8.2.3 Cutting and drilling The size and location of the drilled holes, the squareness of the rail ends and the rail lengths shall be within the tolerances given in Table 8 (see also Annex C). The specified rail lengths are at + 15 °C. If measurements are taken at other temperatures, they shall be corrected to take into account expansion or contraction of the rail. SIST EN 14811:2019

Other measurement techniques than those given in Annex B can be used; however, in cases of dispute, only those in Annex B shall be used. 8.3 Surface imperfections 8.3.1 General The requirements of 8.3.2 to 8.3.4 apply, except for the construction rail profiles 310C1 and 338C1. For these, an imperfection depth of 2 mm is allowed on the head surface and 4 mm for the rest of the surface. The frequency of the imperfections in the foot shall not impair the function of the bearing surface. Surface imperfections (for definitions, see EN 10163-1) can be checked by a representative of the purchaser using an appropriate device; this shall not be considered as damage of the rail. Dressing can be agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser (see also 8.5). 8.3.2 Protrusions Protrusions on the running surface and the underside of the foot shall be dressed. The areas affected by bending rollers, tie rods and fastening elements shall be dressed smooth. Over the rest of the surface, protrusions up to a maximum height of 1,5 mm are allowed or shall be dressed to a height of not more than 1,5 mm. Rolling marks are not regarded as protrusions within the meaning of a surface imperfection. SIST EN 14811:2019
