Railway applications - Ballastless track systems - Part 1: General requirements
This European Standard defines the general requirements concerning the design 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 to all railway applications up to 250 kN axle load.
The requirements of this standard apply to:
- plain line track, 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.
NOTE Requirements for characterization of the substructures listed above are included in this standard. Design of the substructures is covered by other European Standards, e.g. EN 1992–2, EN 1997–1, etc..
Bahnanwendungen - Feste Fahrbahn-Systeme - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen

- Übergänge zwischen verschiedenartigen Unterbauformen;
- Übergänge zwischen verschiedenen FF-Systemen;
- Übergänge zwischen Schotteroberbau und FF-Systemen.
ANMERKUNG Die Anforderungen an die Eigenschaften der oben aufgeführten Unterbauten sind in dieser Norm beschrieben. Die Konstruktion der Unterbauten wird in anderen Europäischen Normen behandelt, z.B. EN 1992 2, EN 1997 1 usw.
Applications ferroviaires - Systèmes de voie sans ballast - Partie 1 : Exigences générales
Cette Norme européenne définit les exigences générales liées à la conception des systèmes de voie sans ballast.
Elle n’inclut aucune exigence liée au contrôle, à la maintenance, à la réparation et au remplacement des systèmes de voie sans ballast en exploitation.
Cette Norme européenne est applicable à toutes les applications ferroviaires jusqu’à une charge par essieu de 250 kN.
Les exigences de cette norme s’appliquent aux :
- voies courantes, ainsi que les appareils de voie et les appareils de dilatation des rails ;
- diverses infrastructures telles que des remblais et des déblais, des tunnels, des ponts ou autres structures similaires, avec ou sans dalles flottantes ;
- transitions entre différentes structures de support ;
- transitions entre différents systèmes de voie sans ballast ;
- transitions entre des systèmes de voie ballastée et des systèmes de voie sans ballast.
NOTE Sont incluses dans cette norme européenne les exigences s’appliquant aux caractéristiques des sous-structures énumérées ci-dessus. La conception des structures de support est couverte par d’autres normes, par exemple l’EN 1992-2, l’EN 1997-1, etc..
Železniške naprave - Progovni sistemi z utrjenimi tirnicami - 1. del: Splošne zahteve
Ta evropski standard določa splošne zahteve za progovne sisteme z utrjenimi tirnicami.
Ne zajema nobenih zahtev za pregledovanje, vzdrževanje, popravljanje in zamenjavo progovnih sistemov z utrjenimi tirnicami med delovanjem.
Ta evropski standard se uporablja za vse železniške naprave z osno obremenitvijo do 250 kN.
Zahteve tega standarda veljajo za:
– vozne tire, kretnice in križišča ter diletacijske naprave;
– različne podstrukture, kot so nasipi in zajede, tuneli, mostovi in podobno, s plavajočimi ploščami ali brez njih;
– prehode med različnimi podstrukturami;
– prehode med različnimi sistemi z utrjenimi tirnicami;
– prehode med tiri na gramozni gredi in sistemi z utrjenimi tirnicami.
OPOMBA: Zahteve za karakterizacijo podstruktur, ki so navedene zgoraj, so zajete v tem standardu. Zasnova podstruktur je zajeta v drugih evropskih standardih, npr. EN 1992–2, EN 1997–1 itd.
