BS EN 13231-4:2013 PDF Download

BS EN 13231-4:2013 is a European Standard that focuses on the acceptance of works for reprofiling railway rails in switches and crossings. It specifies the technical requirements and measurements necessary for the acceptance of reprofiling work on the heads of railway rails. The standard categorizes the longitudinal and transverse profiles into different tolerance classes for acceptance purposes.

The standard applies specifically to reprofiled vignole railway rails and associated switch rails that have a weight of 46 kg/m and above. It ensures that the reprofiling work meets the necessary quality and safety standards required for railway applications. By providing clear guidelines and measurements, the standard helps to establish uniformity and consistency in the acceptance of reprofiling works in switches and crossings.
