JIS E 1306:2010 PDF Download

JIS E 1306:2010 is a standard that specifically focuses on the shape and dimensions of railway crossings. The standard applies to railway crossings that are used for ordinary railways with gauge widths of 1067 mm and 1 435 mm. It does not, however, apply to crossings used for Shinkansen railways, which are governed by a separate act.

The purpose of this standard is to provide guidelines for the construction and design of railway crossings to ensure their safety and compatibility with the respective railway systems. By specifying the shapes and dimensions of these crossings, the standard aims to establish a consistent and uniform approach to their construction, maintenance, and operation.

Compliance with this standard is crucial in order to achieve consistency in railway crossings and to ensure the safety of users. Railways that fall under the scope of the Railway Business Act must adhere to the guidelines outlined in this standard. By doing so, they can ensure that the crossings meet the necessary requirements for safe operation, minimize risks, and provide a seamless experience for trains and other users.
