Introduction
A series of tests is used to assess the suitability of fastening systems for use in railway track, i.e. for type
approval of complete fastening systems. This document only sets requirements considered relevant to
ensure the safe, long-term operation of the track systems. The test methods are described in other
associated standards.
The various categories of rail fastenings used in this document are defined in EN 13481-1:2012.
