BS EN 13231-2:2020 is a standard that specifies the technical specifications and measurements for the acceptance of works related to the reprofiling of railway rail heads. The reprofiling can be done longitudinally and/or transversely in various rail components such as plain line, switches, crossings, and expansion devices. This standard is applicable for Vignole rails that have a weight of 46 kg/m and above, as per the specifications mentioned in EN 13674-1.

The purpose of this standard is to provide guidelines and requirements for the acceptance of reprofiling works, ensuring that the rails meet the necessary standards and criteria for safe and efficient railway operation. The document establishes the technical parameters and measurements that need to be considered during the reprofiling process, including specific tolerances and criteria for different rail components.
