BS EN 13146-1:2019

This standard BS EN 13146-1:2019 Railway applications. Track. Test methods for fastening systems is classified in these ICS categories:

• 93.100 Construction of railways
• 45.080 Rails and railway components

This document specifies the laboratory test procedure to determine: a) the maximum longitudinal force that can be applied to a rail, secured to a sleeper, bearer or element of slab track by a rail fastening assembly, without non-elastic displacement of the rail occurring, or the longitudinal stiffness at a specified longitudinal displacement of a specimen of embedded rail with an adhesive fastening system, and, for any type of fastening, b) the shear displacement and slip data required for track-bridge interaction calculations.
