Railway Applications - Track - Track Geometry Quality - Part 6: Characterisation of Track Geometry Quality
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13848-6 standard is a set of guidelines that establish the minimum requirements for track geometry measuring systems. The standard ensures that these measuring systems produce comparable and consistent results when assessing the same track.
This standard is applicable to all types of measuring systems, whether attended or unattended, that are fitted on any vehicle, excluding track construction and maintenance machines. It is important to note that the standard only applies to systems that are put into service after the standard is enforced.
It should be noted that this standard does not define the requirements for vehicle acceptance, nor does it apply to measuring systems specifically designed for urban rail networks such as tramways, light rail, or similar networks. These systems are subject to separate standards.
