Railway Applications - Track - Switches and Crossings for Vignole Rails - Part 5: Switches
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13232-5 standard aims to provide a comprehensive framework for switches and their constituent parts in the railway industry. The standard defines switches and categorizes them into main types, establishing a common understanding within the industry.
Furthermore, the standard sets minimum requirements for the manufacture of switches and their parts. It also specifies codes of practice for the inspection and tolerances of both full and half sets of switches, ensuring quality control during production. The standard also outlines the limits and scope of supply, allowing for proper procurement and logistics planning.
In addition, the standard addresses the identification and traceability of switches and their parts, ensuring proper documentation and record-keeping throughout their lifecycle. It also provides a list of parameters that can be used to describe switches, including geometry, construction types, performance requirements, design criteria, tolerances, and inspection.
