Standard EN Sample
Railway Applications: Infrastructure - Aluminothermic Welding of Grooved Rails
Also Known As:
BS EN 16771:2016 is a standard that specifies the laboratory tests and requirements for the approval of an aluminothermic welding process for grooved rails in railway infrastructure. This standard specifically applies to the joining of new grooved rails, with the specified profile and steel grade as defined in EN 14811. It does not cover the welding of construction profiles, machined profiles, worn rails, or rails of different grades.
Compliance with this standard does not guarantee the suitability of a welding process for specific track and traffic conditions. Therefore, it is important to consider other factors when determining the appropriateness of a welding process. Furthermore, the standard includes definitive requirements that must be followed, as well as additional items outlined in Clause 4 that must be documented to ensure compliance. It is necessary for both the definitive requirements and the documented items to be satisfied in order to comply with this standard.
