Overview

EN 13232-6:2005/FprA1 - Railway applications: Track - Switches and crossings - Part 6: Fixed common and obtuse crossings is a CEN draft amendment that defines terminology, types and description parameters for fixed crossings used in railway turnout systems. The standard establishes a common framework for describing, designing, manufacturing and inspecting fixed common and obtuse crossings to support interoperability and safety across European rail infrastructure. The amendment (FprA1) also clarifies the standard’s relationship with EU Directive 2008/57/EC (see informative Annex ZA).

Key topics

The standard focuses on practical, technical topics including:

• Working terminology for fixed crossings and constituent parts - creating consistent definitions for designers, manufacturers and inspectors.
• Main crossing types - identification and classification of fixed common and obtuse crossings used in switches and crossings (turnouts).
• Parameters for description, such as:
  • Geometry of the crossing (geometric data necessary to describe crossing form and fit).
  • Types of construction (construction variants and material/assembly approaches).
  • Design criteria (design considerations to ensure performance, safety and compatibility).
  • Manufacturing processes (production methods and considerations for repeatable quality).
  • Tolerances and inspection (critical dimensions, permissible deviations and inspection requirements).
• Conformity and regulatory linkage - Annex ZA maps clauses of the standard to Essential Requirements of Directive 2008/57/EC for interoperability and conformity assessment.

Applications

EN 13232-6 is primarily used for:

• Railway infrastructure design - specifying fixed crossing geometry and design criteria for turnouts.
• Component manufacturing - defining manufacturing processes, tolerances and quality checkpoints for fixed common and obtuse crossings.
• Inspection and maintenance - establishing inspection dimensions and tolerance checks used by track inspectors and maintenance teams.
• Procurement and certification - providing prescriptive terminology and parameters to support specification, testing and conformity to EU interoperability requirements.

Typical users include railway engineers, turnout designers, switch & crossing manufacturers, quality inspectors, infrastructure owners, procurement teams and national standards bodies.

Related standards

• Part of the EN 13232 series covering Switches and crossings (other parts address movable crossings, design methods and performance).
• Linked to EU legal framework via Directive 2008/57/EC (informative Annex ZA explains the correspondence with Essential Requirements).

Keywords: EN 13232-6:2005, fixed common crossings, obtuse crossings, switches and crossings, railway track standard, CEN, tolerances, inspection, design criteria, manufacturing processes, interoperability.

This draft amendment is submitted to CEN members for unique acceptance procedure. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 256.
This draft amendment A1, if approved, will modify the European Standard EN 13232-6:2005. If this draft becomes an amendment, CEN
members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for inclusion of this amendment
into the relevant national standard without any alteration.

This draft amendment 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.
