Resumen:
This European Standard defines the general requirements concerning the design and acceptance of ballastless track systems. It does not include any requirements for inspecting, maintaining, repairing and replacing ballastless track systems during operation. This European Standard is applicable for high speed and conventional railway applications up to 250 kN axle load. This standard applies to ballastless track systems including: -booted systems; -embedded rail systems; - other fastening systems. The requirements of this standard apply to ballastless track systems including: -plain line track as well as switches and crossings and rail expansion joints; - various substructures like embankments and cuttings, tunnels, bridges or similar, with or without floating slabs; - transitions between different substructures; - transitions between different ballastless track systems; - transitions between ballasted and ballastless track systems.
