EN 13232-5:2005 (E) 3 Foreword This European Standard (EN 13232-5:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2006. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this European Standard. This series of standards “Railway applications – Track – Switches and crossings” covers the design and quality of switches and crossings in flat bottom rails. The list of parts is as follows:  Part 1: Definitions  Part 2: Requirements for geometric design  Part 3: Requirements for wheel/rail interaction  Part 4: Actuation, locking and detection  Part 5: Switches  Part 6: Fixed common and obtuse crossings  Part 7: Crossings with moveable parts  Part 8: Expansion devices  Part 9: Layouts Part 1 contains terminology used throughout all parts of this European Standard. Parts 2 to 4 contain basic design guides and are applicable to all switch and crossing assemblies. Parts 5 to 8 deal with particular types of equipment, including their tolerances. These use parts 1 to 4 as a basis. Part 9 defines the functional and geometrical dimensions and tolerances for layout assembly. The following terms are used within to define the parties involved in using the EN as the technical basis for a transaction: CUSTOMER The operator or user of the equipment, or the purchaser of the equipment on the user's behalf. SUPPLIER The body responsible for the use of the EN in response to the customer's requirements. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,

EN 13232-5:2005 (E) 5 Introduction The requirements of switches are that they are capable of performing their intended purpose, which is to cause a vehicle to transfer from one track to the other track of a turnout, either in the facing or trailing direction. The switches are designed to withstand all external forces from rolling stock, thermal influences etc. Switches are manufactured to give safe (and acceptable) motion of the vehicle based on conditions in the specification.



EN 13232-5:2005 (E) 6 1 Scope The scope of this European Standard is:  establish a working definition for switches and their constituent parts and identify the main types;  specify the minimum requirements for the manufacture of the switches and/or constituent parts;  specify codes of practice for inspection and tolerances of both full and half sets of switches and their constituent parts;  establish the limits and scope of supply;  list the methods by which switches and their parts should be identified and traced;  list the different and varying ways by which switches can be described using the following parameters:  geometry of the switches;  types of construction;  performance requirements;  design criteria;  tolerances and inspection. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.
