16、tariat 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2013. Attention is dr
17、awn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13231-1:2006, EN 13231-2:2006. This European Standard is one of the serie
18、s EN 13231 “Railway applications Track Acceptance of works“ as listed below: Part 1: Works on ballasted track Plain line, switches and crossings (the present document) Part 3: Acceptance of reprofiling rails in track Part 4: Acceptance of reprofiling rails in switches and crossings Part 5: Procedure
19、s for rail reprofiling in plain line, switches, crossings and expansion devices NOTE Part 2 does not exist in this series. The following technical modifications have been introduced during the revision: merging of EN 13231-1:2006 and EN 13231-2:2006, taking into account the similarities between them
20、; definition of the absent tolerances for some existing parameters; revision of the tolerances already set up on the former version; definition of new parameters and the respective tolerances. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following co
21、untries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
22、Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. BS EN 13231-1:2013EN 13231-1:2013 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the minimum technical requirements and the tolerances for the acceptance of works on ballasted track situated on
23、plain line and on switches and crossings and rail expansion devices, as part of the track, for 1 435 mm and wider track gauge railways, concerning construction of new track, track renewal and track maintenance. More particularly, this standard gives the requirements for the documentation of work par
24、ameters, for the tolerances for relative track geometry and absolute track position and for the acceptance procedures. This standard does not deal with contractual and legal aspects and it does not cover either works related to reprofiling the railhead nor the associated measurements, except for som
25、e measurements related to safety, since these works are covered by other parts of EN 13231 series. Related works, e.g. platform reconstruction, formation, drainage, level crossings are not covered by this standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively

31、 maintenance of switches and crossings (switch rail/stock rail, crossing, etc.), bearers and ballast; works to correct track geometry, e.g. track tamping/levelling/lining; dynamic stabilising; ballast cleaning; stressing work; welding 3.2 plain line any section of ballasted track excluding switches
32、and crossings 3.3 acceptance declaration of the customer to the contractor that the work has been achieved in accordance with the contract 3.4 tolerance permissible deviation from reference or designed value 3.5 relative track geometry group of parameters defining the position of the rails, usually
33、comprising the following: track gauge, alignment, longitudinal level, twist and cross level Note 1 to entry: These parameters are described in EN 13848 series. 3.6 design track position position of the track defined in the track design process Note 1 to entry: The design position is defined in the g
34、eodetic reference system. Note 2 to entry: The control of the design studies and layouts for new or upgraded tracks according to EN 13803-1 and EN 13803-2 or other regulations is not part of this standard. 3.7 actual track position position of the track when measured from external absolute reference

40、evices 4.1 General The requirements of this European Standard apply to works as defined in 3.1, to the extent that they are within the scope of the work. An acceptance form shall be prepared for each item of work outlining the results achieved. Acceptance is not given until the work is completed in
41、accordance with the requirements of the contract. 4.2 Acceptance deadlines Acceptance shall not be carried out until the track has been subjected to an appropriate passing tonnage described and defined by the customer. However, acceptance should occur within a period not exceeding six weeks or after
42、 the passage of a maximum of 1,500 000 tonnes after the completion of the works, although the customer may extend this timescale to permit any follow-up tamping to be carried out. BS EN 13231-1:2013EN 13231-1:2013 (E) 7 4.3 Acceptance measurements, checks and related documentation Before acceptance,
43、 the following measurements or checks shall be carried out when applicable (manually or by automatic means), and shall be documented: relative track geometry of plain line, switches and crossings as specified in 4.4; absolute track position of plain line, switches and crossings as specified in 4.5;
44、sleeper or bearer position, voiding of sleepers or bearers as specified in 4.6.2, 4.6.3, 4.6.4 and 4.6.5; correct assembly and integrity of the rail fastenings, pads and insulators as specified in 4.6.6; welds as specified in 4.6.7 (running surface and running edge); joint gaps, dips and staggers as

The customer may request additional documented measurements or checks if co
48、ntractually agreed. The customer may also restrict the choice of measuring devices if contractually agreed. Relative track geometry shall be measured by a track recording vehicle or by a track construction and maintenance machine fitted with measuring equipment, both in accordance with series EN 138
49、48. If the measuring equipment fails, or is not available, corresponding light weight or manual devices measurements shall be taken and documented. Other use of light weight or manual devices measurements shall be in accordance with series EN 13848. If track works affect track geometry, measurement of relative track geometry according to series EN 13848 shall be performed before allowing commercial trains to run.
