Overview
SIST EN 15273-4:2025 - Railway applications - Gauges - Part 4: Catalogue of defined gauges is a CEN European Standard that provides a comprehensive catalogue of reference profiles (gauges) and the associated rules for the defined gauging process on mainline railway networks using various track gauges. This document is intended to be used together with EN 15273‑1:2025, EN 15273‑2:2025 and EN 15273‑3:2025. It is not applicable to the gauges “S” and “T” for track gauge 1 520 mm. The standard supports consistent specification of clearance envelopes for rolling stock and infrastructure to ensure safety and interoperability.
Key topics and requirements
- Catalogue of reference profiles: Presents a wide range of named gauges and reference profiles used across Europe (examples in the document include static gauges GI1, G1, GA, etc., kinematic gauges G1, DE1, BE1, many others, dynamic gauges SEa/SEc/NO1/NO2, and pantograph reference profiles).
- Static, kinematic and dynamic gauges: Defines static gauges (lower and upper parts), kinematic gauges (accounting for vehicle motion), and dynamic gauges (including lateral and vertical projections and calculation cases).
- Pantograph gauges: Includes a pantograph reference profile and basic data for pantograph clearance checks.
- Rules and projections: Describes rules for lateral and vertical projections, basic data and calculation cases used to derive clearance envelopes.
- Compatibility notes: Gauges based on Russian state standards and nationally specific profiles are included where relevant. The standard clarifies scope limitations and requirements for applying the rules to other vehicles or networks with agreed adjustments between rolling stock and infrastructure stakeholders.
Practical applications
- Designing and verifying vehicle profiles and body shapes to meet clearance requirements.
- Infrastructure planning and design: tunnels, bridges, platforms and overhead line equipment defined against reference gauges to ensure safe passage.
- Interoperability assessments for cross-border fleet operations and certification.
- Clearance analysis during refurbishment, track realignment, or electrification projects.
- Safety and maintenance checks: ensuring rolling stock and infrastructure remain within allowed envelopes over time.

Die Standardisierungsspezifikation SIST EN 15273-4:2025 bietet einen umfassenden Katalog der definierten Gauges, die speziell für den Einsatz auf Hauptstrecken des Schienenverkehrs mit verschiedenen Gleisbreiten entwickelt wurden. Der Anwendungsbereich dieses Standards ist klar und fokussiert, da er die relevanten Voraussetzungen und Normen für die Interoperabilität von Schienenfahrzeugen und Infrastruktur festlegt. Ein hervorzuhebender Aspekt der SIST EN 15273-4:2025 ist ihre sorgfältige Strukturierung in Bezug auf die definierten Gauges. Durch die Bereitstellung von Referenzprofilen und den dazugehörigen Regeln für den definierten Gaugierungsprozess schafft der Standard einheitliche Maßstäbe, die die Planung und den Betrieb von Schienenfahrzeugen erleichtern. Dies unterstützt insbesondere die engere Zusammenarbeit zwischen unterschiedlichen Akteuren im Schienenverkehr, indem klare Vorgaben zur Verantwortung zwischen Fahrzeug und Infrastruktur etabliert werden. Die Stärken dieses Standards liegen nicht nur in seiner Detailgenauigkeit, sondern auch in seiner Anpassungsfähigkeit. Während das Dokument spezifisch für Hauptstrecken entwickelt wurde, steht es anderen Fahrzeugen und Netzwerken offen, die Regeln mit gewissen Anpassungen zu übernehmen. Dies zeigt die Relevanz der SIST EN 15273-4:2025 für ein breiteres Spektrum von Anwendungen im Schienenverkehr, als es der Anwendungsbereich zunächst vermuten lässt. Darüber hinaus wird das Dokument in Kombination mit den Normen EN 15273-1:2025, EN 15273-2:2025 und EN 15273-3:2025 verwendet, was die Kohärenz der Normenlandschaft im Bereich der Eisenbahnanwendungen stärkt. Es fördert die Standardisierung und sorgt für eine einheitliche Vorgehensweise bei der Gaugierung, was sowohl die Sicherheit als auch die Effizienz im Schienenverkehr verbessert. Es ist jedoch wichtig zu beachten, dass die SIST EN 15273-4:2025 nicht für die Gauges „S“ und „T“ mit einer Gleisbreite von 1 520 mm anwendbar ist, was eine gezielte Ausrichtung auf bestimmte Gleisszenarien unterstreicht. Insgesamt leistet dieser Standard einen wertvollen Beitrag zu den bestehenden Normen, indem er klare, brauchbare und anpassungsfähige Guidelines für die Schienenverkehrsindustrie bereitstellt.
SIST EN 15273-4:2025 표준은 철도 응용 분야에서의 게이지에 관한 중요한 문서로, 특히 다양한 레일 게이지를 사용하는 본선 철도 네트워크에 적용될 수 있도록 개발된 게이지 목록을 포함하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 범위는 명확히 본선 철도 네트워크로 제한되며, 다른 차량이나 네트워크는 본 문서의 범위를 벗어나지만 약간의 조정 후 책임 분담에 대한 합의가 이루어진다면 적용 가능합니다. 표준의 주요 강점은 철도 게이지 정의를 위한 참조 프로필 및 그에 따른 규칙이 체계적으로 정리되어 있다는 점입니다. 이러한 정리된 자료는 EN 15273-1:2025, EN 15273-2:2025, 그리고 EN 15273-3:2025와 함께 사용될 목적을 가지고 있어, 철도 시스템의 조화로운 운영을 돕는 역할을 합니다. 또한, 이 문서는 특정 상황을 고려한 게이지 분류의 정립이 이루어졌다는 점에서 관련성이 높습니다. 예를 들어, “S” 및 “T” 게이지(트랙 게이지 1 520 mm)에 대한 규정은 이 표준에 포함되지 않기 때문에, 필요에 따라 별도의 지침이 요구됩니다. 이는 사용자가 특정 요구 사항에 맞춰 유연하게 접근할 수 있게 하여 실질적인 적용 가능성을 높입니다. 결론적으로, SIST EN 15273-4:2025 표준은 본선 철도 네트워크의 효율적 운영을 위한 필수적인 기준을 제공하며, 철도 산업 분야에서의 규정 준수 및 안전성을 높이는 데 기여할 것입니다.
La norme SIST EN 15273-4:2025 offre un cadre essentiel pour l'application des gabarits dans les réseaux ferroviaires à écartements ferroviaires variés. Son champ d'application est clairement défini, se concentrant exclusivement sur les réseaux ferroviaires principaux, ce qui en fait un outil pertinent pour les professionnels du secteur ferroviaire. En intégrant des profils de référence et des règles associées pour le processus de gabarit défini, ce document s'impose comme un catalogue incontournable pour garantir la conformité et la sécurité des opérations ferroviaires. Parmi les forces de la norme, on peut souligner sa capacité à s'adapter aux différents types de véhicules et de réseaux, bien que ceux-ci ne soient pas explicitement couverts. Cette flexibilité permet aux utilisateurs d'appliquer les règles établies par la norme tout en tenant compte des spécificités des infrastructures et du matériel roulant, sous réserve d'accords clairs sur les responsabilités partagées. En outre, la norme sert de complément utile aux autres parties du système EN 15273, telles que EN 15273-1:2025, EN 15273-2:2025 et EN 15273-3:2025, renforçant ainsi son importance dans l'ensemble du cadre normatif relatif aux applications ferroviaires. Il convient également de noter que la norme ne s'applique pas aux gabarits “S” et “T” pour les écartements de 1 520 mm, ce qui circonscrit son utilisation et évite des ambiguïtés dans son application, garantissant ainsi une clarté dans le domaine des gabarits ferroviaires. En somme, la norme SIST EN 15273-4:2025 se démarque par sa précision, sa pertinence et sa capacité à répondre aux besoins spécifiques des réseaux ferroviaires majeurs, tout en facilitant les interactions entre le matériel roulant et l'infrastructure.
