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.
Particular application cases may contain requirements regarding additional properties and – preferably standardized – test methods, if they are technically relevant.
This European Standard may be used to derive design values by taking into account factors within the context of the definitions given in EN 1997 1 (Eurocode 7), e.g. factors of safety. The design life of the product should be determined, since its function may be temporary, as a construction expediency, or permanent, for the lifetime of the structure.

La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux superstructures avec ballast ou aux couches de forme, en présence d'un arase-terrassement.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux géomembranes et géosynthétiques bentonitiques tels que définis dans l'EN ISO 10318 1.
La présente Norme européenne permet d'évaluer et de vérifier la constance des performances du produit à la présente Norme européenne et les procédures de contrôle de la production en usine.
Des cas d'application particuliers peuvent contenir des exigences sur des propriétés supplémentaires et méthodes d'essai – si possible normalisées – si elles sont techniquement pertinentes.
La présente Norme européenne peut être utilisée pour déduire les valeurs de calcul en prenant en compte les facteurs définis dans l'EN 1997 1 (Eurocode 7), par exemple les facteurs de sécurité. Il convient de déterminer la durée de vie prévue du produit, puisque sa fonction peut être provisoire, pour des besoins de construction, ou permanente, pour la durée de vie de la structure.
Geotekstilije in geotekstilijam sorodni izdelki - Značilnosti, ki se zahtevajo pri gradnji železnice
Ta evropski standard določa pomembne značilnosti geotekstilij in geotekstilijam sorodnih izdelkov, ki se uporabljajo pri gradnji železnice, ter ustrezne preskusne metode za določitev teh značilnosti.
Te geotekstilije in geotekstilijam sorodni izdelki naj bi imeli eno ali več naslednjih funkcij: filtriranje, ločevanje in ojačitev. Funkcija ločevanja se bo vedno pojavljala skupaj s filtriranjem ali ojačitvijo, zato ne bo ločeno opredeljena. Ta evropski standard se uporablja za plast gramoza nadkonstrukcije ali zgornje plasti podkonstrukcije znotraj temeljne plasti.
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za geosintetične zapore, kakor so opredeljene v standardu EN ISO 10318.
Ta evropski standard omogoča ocenjevanje in preverjanje stalnosti funkcionalnosti izdelka v skladu s tem evropskim standardom ter postopke kontrole proizvodnje v obratu.

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.
