La présente Norme européenne spécifie les rails de chemin de fer Vignole de masse comprise entre 27 kg/m et 46 kg/m, 46 kg/m non compris.
Cinq nuances d'acier perlitique sont spécifiées représentant une fourchette de dureté comprise entre 200 HBW et 390 HBW. Ces nuances d’acier comprennent :
- les aciers non alliés et non traités thermiquement ;
- les aciers alliés, et non traités thermiquement ;
- les aciers non alliés et traités thermiquement.
13 profils de rail sont spécifiés dans la présente Norme européenne mais ils peuvent ne pas être disponibles dans toutes les nuances d’acier.

The tolerances of certain dimensions shall be as given in Table 6. All other quantities are informative only. NOTE Linear masses have been calculated based on the density of steel of 7,85 g/cm3. 7 Manufacture 7.1 Product integrity 7.1.1 Factory production control Rails shall be produced under a comprehensive system of factory production control, which shall ensure confidence in the conformity of the finished product. The system shall address this European Standard to ensure that the finished products consistently comply with requirements to achieve the product integrity necessary to provide assurance of product safety in track. Manufacturers shall demonstrate continuing compliance, including documented evidence, with the factory production control system required. Manufacturers having a factory production control system, which complies with EN ISO 9001 are recognised as satisfying the minimum requirements specified by this clause. 7.1.2 Best practice manufacture The product shall be manufactured to the best practices as defined in 7.1.1. NOTE This is to ensure that the rail attributes, described in the Introduction, which are not known in an exact manner or are not practically measurable, achieve the required high level of product integrity in track.
