5 Requirements
5.1 Longitudinal rail restraint
The longitudinal rail restraint shall be not less than 7 kN when measured by the procedure in
prEN 13146-1:2009. For use in category D fastening systems (> 250 km/h) the longitudinal rail restraint shall
be not less than 9 kN.
On structures such as long bridges, the longitudinal force transmitted between the track and the structure may
be calculated by the method in EN 1991-2. The value of F measured in accordance with
max
prEN 13146-1:2009 may be used in the calculation. In such cases, and subject to agreement between the
purchaser and manufacturer, the minimum requirement for longitudinal restraint may be reduced.
5.2 Torsional resistance
When required by the purchaser the torsional resistance shall be measured by the procedure in
prEN 13146-2:2009 and the result reported.
5.3 Attenuation of impact loads
For fastening systems described as having medium or high attenuation of dynamic loads this shall be
measured by the procedure in prEN 13146-3:2009 using the type of sleeper (monoblock or two block) on
which the fastening is to be used. The result shall comply with the following limits:
medium attenuation ≥ 15 % ≤ 30 %;
high attenuation > 30 %.
5.4 Pad and assembly stiffness
As required by prEN 13146-4:2009 the assembly static stiffness and assembly low frequency dynamic
stiffness shall be measured in accordance with EN 13146-9. Measurement of the rail pad static stiffness is
required at the purchaser’s discretion in accordance with pEN 13146-8:2009. If the purchaser requires any of
the following it shall be measured in accordance with EN 13146-9:
pad low frequency dynamic stiffness;
assembly high frequency dynamic stiffness.
Test loads are given in Table 2.
NOTE Guidance on the measurement of pad high frequency dynamic stiffness is given in EN 13146-9, Annex A. For
the measurement of assembly properties at acoustic frequency see EN 15461.
