Railway Applications - Track - Switches and Crossings - Part 1: Definitions
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13232-1 standard aims to establish a commonly accepted terminology for switch and crossing work. The standard provides definitions for various components involved in switches and crossings, which are depicted through diagrams for better understanding. These definitions are considered obligatory within the scope of the standard.
The definitions provided in the document encompass different aspects of switch and crossing work, including the constituent parts, design geometry, and the movement of switches. This ensures a consistent understanding and communication within the railway industry. It is important to note that more specific terminology related to switch and crossing work may be defined in other parts of the EN (European Norm) framework.
