- Festlegung des Lieferumfangs;
- Festlegung der Mindestanforderungen an die Rückverfolgbarkeit.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nur für Weichenanlagen, die im Herstellwerk oder auf der Baustelle zum ersten Mal montiert werden.
Andere Gesichtspunkte, wie Einbau und Instandhaltung, die ebenfalls die Leistungsfähigkeit beeinflussen, werden nicht als Gegenstand dieser Norm betrachtet.

Overview
prEN 13232-9 rev - "Railway applications - Track - Switches and crossings for Vignole rails - Part 9: Layouts" (CEN) defines acceptance, verification and marking requirements for assembled switch & crossing (S&C) layouts for Vignole (flat‑bottom) rails. It supersedes EN 13232-9:2006+A1:2011 and applies to layouts assembled in the manufacturing plant or assembled for the first time at trackside. The standard focuses on layout acceptance criteria, limits of supply, and minimum traceability required for safe, verifiable S&C delivery.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope of acceptance: Geometrical and non‑geometrical acceptance criteria for complete layouts or kits; inspection both in factory and at track site.
- Inputs for acceptance testing: Assembly documents per prEN 13232-2 and detailed component plans within the limits of supply.
- Component acceptance: Components must meet their relevant specifications and certificates. General manufacturing tolerances (examples):
- Rail lengths (≤24 m): ±3 mm; (>24 m): ±4 mm
- Fishbolt hole diameter: +1 / -0.5 mm
- Hole positions: ±1 mm (to fishing surface), ±1.5 mm (to rail end)
- Assembly conditions: Assembly on a horizontal, plane surface with a defined reference basis; handle components to avoid permanent deformation.
- Temperature correction: Length corrections if assembly temperature differs from reference: L = L_nom × [1 + α·(T - T_R)] with α = 1.15×10^-5 /K.
- Geometry acceptance tolerances (examples):
- Alignment of reference rail: ±3 mm
- Offsets to reference rail: ±1 mm
- Track gauge: ±2 mm
- Lead: ±10 mm (≤36 m), ±15 mm (>36 m)
- Functional and Safety Dimensions (FSDs): Safety‑critical parameters must be checked; nominal FSDs influence maintenance policy and are informed by prEN 13232-3.
- Gaps and clearances: Limits for squareness, bearer spacing and vertical gaps (examples: bearer squareness ±5 mm; vertical gap at sliding chairs ≤1 mm).
- Documentation and traceability: Acceptance forms (example in Annex A), records of checked items and measured values, permanent unique marking of switches/stock rails and crossings; bearer and rail‑foot markings to aid final assembly.
Applications and users
This part is intended for:
- Railway infrastructure operators and asset owners
- S&C manufacturers and fabricators
- Track design engineers and consultants
- Procurement teams and contractors
- Quality, test and commissioning engineers
Use cases include factory inspection, site acceptance of prefabricated layouts or kits, contractual verification of limits of supply, and recording traceability for maintenance and safety audits.

This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13232-9:2006+A1:2011.
This series of standards “Railway applications – Track – Switches and crossings for Vignole rails” covers the
design and quality of switches and crossings in flat bottomed rail. The list of Parts is as follows:
Part 1: Definitions
Part 2: Requirements for geometric design
Part 3: Requirements for wheel/rail interaction
Part 4: Actuation, locking and detection
Part 5: Switches
Part 6: Fixed common and obtuse crossings
Part 7: Crossings with moveable parts
Part 8: Expansion devices
Part 9 : Layouts
Part 1 contains terminology used throughout all parts of this series. Parts 2 to 4 contain basic design guides and
are applicable to all switch and crossing assemblies. Parts 5 to 8 deal with particular types of equipment including
their tolerances. These use Parts 1 to 4 as a basis. Part 9 defines the functional and geometric dimensions and
tolerances for layout assembly.
The following terms are used within to define the parties involved in using the EN as the technical basis for a
transaction:
Customer the Operator or User of the equipment, or the Purchaser of the equipment on the User's behalf.
Supplier the Body responsible for the use of the EN in response to the Customer's requirements.
prEN 13232-9:2003 (E)
1 Scope
This part of this EN is to:
define the geometrical and non-geometrical acceptance criteria for inspection of layouts assembled both in the
fabrication plant and at track site in case of layouts that are delivered non or partially assembled or in a “kit”
form;
determine the limits of supply;
define the minimum requirements for traceability.
This European Standard applies only to layouts that are assembled in the manufacturing plant or that are
assembled for the first time at trackside.
Other aspects such as installation and maintenance also influence performance; these are not considered as part
of this standard.
