Railway Applications - Track - Test Methods for Fastening Systems - Part 8: In Service Testing
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13146-8 standard provides guidelines for testing the performance of fastening systems used in railway tracks. This standard focuses specifically on in-service testing, which involves evaluating the performance of fastening systems after they have been installed and are in regular use.
The standard specifies a procedure for comparative testing, meaning that it allows for the comparison of different fastening systems. The testing procedure outlined in the standard is applicable to fastening systems that comply with other relevant standards, specifically EN 13481, parts 2 to 7. These parts likely contain requirements and specifications for fastening systems used in railway tracks.
It is important to note that the standard's testing procedure is intended for complete fastening assemblies. This means that all components of the fastening system, such as clips, baseplates, and bolts, are tested together as a complete unit. Additionally, the standard emphasizes that the comparative testing should be conducted on fastening systems installed at the same time and on the specific type of support for which they are intended.
