Standard EN Sample
Railway Applications Infrastructure: Non-Destructive Testing on Rails in Track - Eddy Current Testing of Rails in Track
Also Known As:
BS EN 16729-2:2020 standard focuses on the testing of rails installed on railway tracks to detect surface cracks. The standard is applicable to various testing equipment, including inspection-trains, reprofiling machines, and manual systems. Its main objective is to establish requirements for testing principles and systems that can produce comparable results in terms of the location and characteristics of surface cracks on the rails.
It is important to note that this standard does not provide guidelines for managing the results of eddy current rail testing. Additionally, it does not address the requirements for vehicle acceptance or the production testing of rails in a manufacturing plant. The standard specifically applies to rail profiles that comply with the requirements specified in EN 13674-1. This standard serves as a benchmark for conducting eddy current testing on rails in track and ensures the quality and reliability of the testing process.
