Overview

SIST EN 13146-1:2012/FprA1:2014 is a European standard developed by CEN Technical Committee 256, focused on railway applications and track systems. Specifically, it defines standardized test methods for railway fastening systems, with Part 1 addressing the determination of longitudinal rail restraint. This amendment to the 2012 version refines the testing procedures and specifications related to the rail and rail support used during testing.

This standard ensures consistent evaluation of fastening systems that secure rails to sleepers or track structures-an essential aspect affecting rail stability, safety, and longevity. It applies to various types of fastening systems, including mechanically and adhesively fastened embedded rails and surface-mounted rails.

Key Topics

  • Longitudinal Rail Restraint Testing: The standard specifies methods to measure the resistance of fastening systems to longitudinal movement of rails under applied forces, crucial for maintaining track geometry and preventing rail displacement.

  • Rail Sample Requirements: Detailed requirements for the test rail sample include:

    • Use of a short length of rail corresponding to the fastening system design.
    • Surface conditions stipulating no laminated layers, loose rust, or polished surfaces.
    • Length specifications:
      • Approximately 0.5 meters for surface-mounted rails.
      • For embedded rails, length depends on fastening type-typically the spacing between mechanical fastenings or 0.5 to 0.85 meters for adhesive fastenings.

  • Rail Support Specifications: Adjustments in the standard clarify rail support conditions during testing, essential to simulate real operational environments accurately.

  • Amendment Details: This document introduces minor textual modifications enhancing clarity in sections 5.1 (Rail) and 6.1 (Rail support).

Applications

SIST EN 13146-1:2012/FprA1:2014 serves as a vital reference for:

  • Railway Manufacturers and Suppliers: Ensuring fastening systems meet minimum performance requirements related to longitudinal restraint.

  • Track Engineers and Maintenance Teams: Assessing and selecting appropriate fastening systems to mitigate rail movement, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance track safety.

  • Testing Laboratories: Standardizing test procedures for rail fastening components, facilitating reliable product certification and compliance with European regulations.

  • Rail Infrastructure Projects: Incorporating standardized fastening system evaluation during design and validation phases to optimize track performance under dynamic loads.

Related Standards

To complement SIST EN 13146-1:2012/FprA1:2014, the following standards can be referenced for comprehensive railway track system assessment:

  • EN 13146-2: Test methods for fastening systems - part 2, addressing vertical holding force measurement.
  • EN 13481: Performance requirements for track components including fastenings.
  • EN 13232: Rail fastening systems product standards covering performance and design.
  • National standards aligned with CEN standards for regional railway infrastructure compatibility.

By ensuring accurate determination of longitudinal rail restraint, SIST EN 13146-1:2012/FprA1:2014 supports safer and more durable railway track systems. It is an indispensable tool in the ongoing enhancement of railway track fastening technology, contributing to optimal rail stability and operational reliability.

SIST EN 17936:2024(Main)
Railway applications - Acoustics - Measurement of source terms for environmental noise calculations
EN 17936:2024

This document addresses the measurement of source terms for environmental noise calculation for rail traffic (including light rail, such as trams, metros, etc.). It is applicable to the measurement of in-service trains on operational tracks.
It is not applicable to type acceptance testing of rolling-stock or tracks, or to derive source terms for time domain models.
The following rail traffic noise source types are in the scope:
-   rolling noise;
-   traction and equipment noise;
-   aerodynamic noise;
-   impact noise (e.g. rail joints, switch and crossings, wheel flats);
-   braking noise;
-   bridge noise;
-   squeal noise.
Noise from rail vehicles at standstill, such as stationary engine idling and auxiliary equipment at yards and stations, is covered by EN ISO 3095:2013 for measurement procedures and operating conditions, and by EN ISO 3740:2019 and EN ISO 3744 for the determination of sound power. It is therefore not in the scope of this document.
The calculation of the propagation of sound is part of generally standardized propagation models which are not addressed in this document.
Noise from fixed installations (e.g. stations, depots, electricity sub-stations) is not in the scope of this document.
Source terms are specific to a vehicle and track type. The scope includes measurement procedures and conditions and sampling requirements.

EN 16272-6:2023

This document describes a test method for measuring a quantity representative of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation for rail noise barriers and related devices: the sound insulation index.
The test method is intended for the following applications:
-   determination of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation of noise barriers and related devices to be installed along railways, to be measured either on typical installations alongside railways or in laboratory conditions;
-   determination of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation of noise barriers and related devices in actual use;
-   comparison of design specifications with actual performance data after the completion of the construction work;
-   verification of the long-term performance of noise barriers and related devices (with a repeated application of the method);
-   interactive design process of new products, including the formulation of installation manuals.
The test method is not intended for the determination of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation of noise barriers and related devices to be installed in reverberant conditions, e.g. inside tunnels or deep trenches or under covers.
Results are expressed as a function of frequency in one-third octave bands, where possible, between 100 Hz and 5 kHz. If it is not possible to get valid measurement results over the whole frequency range indicated, the results need to be given in a restricted frequency range and the reasons for the restriction(s) need to be clearly reported.
