European foreword
This document (prEN 15273-4:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway
Applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This European Standard is one of the series prEN 15273, Railway applications — Gauges as listed below:
— prEN 15273-1, General common rules for Rolling Stock and Infrastructure gives the general
explanations of gauging and defines the sharing of the space between rolling stock and
infrastructure;
— prEN 15273-2, Rolling stock gives the rules for dimensioning vehicles;
— prEN 15273-3, Infrastructure gives the rules for positioning the infrastructure;
— prEN 15273-4, Catalogue of defined gauges includes a non-exhaustive list of reference profiles and
parameters to be used by infrastructure and rolling stock;
— prCEN/TR 15273-5, Background, explanation and worked examples.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of
EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral
part of this document.

Introduction
The aim of this standard is to define the rules for the calculation and verification of the dimensions of
rolling stock and infrastructure from a gauging perspective.
This standard describes gauging processes taking into account the relative movements between rolling
stock and infrastructure as well as the necessary margins or clearances
This part of the series EN 15273 covers a catalogue of gauges and associated rules and is used in
conjunction with the following parts:
— Part 1: General common rules for Rolling Stock and Infrastructure;
— Part 2: Rolling stock;
— Part 3: Infrastructure;
— Part 5: Background, explanation and worked examples.

1 Scope
The gauges included in this document have been developed for application on mainline railway
networks using various track gauges. Other networks are outside the scope of this document, but the
rules may be applied to them.
This document is a catalogue of reference profiles and their associated rules for the defined gauging
process. This document is intended to be used with prEN 15273-1:2023, prEN 15273-2:2023 and
prEN 15273-3:2023.
This document is not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” for track gauge 1 520 mm.
