Aggregates for railway ballast - Part 1: Characteristics
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13450-1 standard is a European standard that outlines the characteristics of aggregates used in the construction of the upper layer of railway tracks. Specifically, it focuses on aggregates known as railway ballast, which are aggregates that are completely crushed and obtained from natural, manufactured, or recycled materials.
This standard primarily covers coarse aggregates, which are defined as aggregates with particles larger than a certain size.
It is important to note that this standard is part 1 of a two-part series, with part 2 providing additional information to complement part 1. Part 2 offers guidance on the practical application of the standard, including the reasons for testing and declaring various characteristics and recommendations for implementing factory production control measures.
