Railway applications - Track - Switches and crossings - Part 5: Switches
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13232-5 standard aims to provide a comprehensive framework for the definition, manufacture, inspection, and identification of switches used in railway tracks.
The standard serves to establish a common understanding of switches and their constituent parts, while also specifying the minimum requirements for their manufacture. It also provides codes of practice for the inspection and tolerances of both full and half sets of switches and their parts.
Moreover, the standard defines the limits and scope of supply for switches, and outlines the methods for identifying and tracing switches and their parts. It further categorizes switches based on various parameters such as geometry, construction types, performance requirements, design criteria, tolerances, and inspection.
