This document specifies requirements for the approval of a welding process in a fixed plant, together with the requirements for subsequent welding production. This document applies to new Vignole rails manufactured in accordance to EN 13674-1 and welded by flash butt welding to crossing components in a fixed plant, and intended for use on railway infrastructures. This document applies to cast Manganese crossings manufactured to EN 15689, fabricated crossings manufactured from rail and crossings manufactured from forged/rolled premium steels. NOTE EN 14587-1 is also used for the flashed butt welding of switches. Sometimes special profiles exist in crossing construction, which are not rail profiles as defined in EN 13674 series (example: profile with machined off rail foot). In these cases, tests are defined by the railway authority in participation with the manufacturer.

This part of EN 16432 series specifies how to integrate the particular aspects of ballastless track systems for attenuation of vibration into the system and subsystem design and component configuration according to EN 16432-2:2017. The general system and subsystem design requirements are assigned from EN 16432-1:2017. Additional noise and vibration requirements can be project specific and are not provided by this document. Acoustic requirements are considered as input for the track design from the acoustic design. The acoustic design and the track design affect each other and may require an iterative overall design process. The range of applicability covers all kind of rail systems including Urban Rail systems.

1.1 General This document specifies the requirements for machines and associated equipment, without rail-wheels, designed and intended for work on railway infrastructure, henceforward referred to as ‘MWR’. This document also covers MWR intended for use on urban rail infrastructure. The types of MWR covered by this document also include: - MWR with power driven mechanisms; - MWR with manually driven mechanisms; - hand held machines (with ability to attach to track). NOTE 1 Railway maintenance and infrastructure inspection machines fitted with rail-wheels are dealt with in other European standards, see CEN/TR 17498:2020. This document specifies the requirements to deal with the common hazards during transport, assembly and installation, commissioning, working, including setting up, programming, and process changeover, operation, cleaning, fault finding, maintenance and decommissioning of MWR and associated equipment when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable. The requirements set out in this document are intended to control the hazards associated with the engineering aspects of MWR. NOTE 2 It is anticipated that a safe system of work (see EN 16704-1:2017) will additionally be required. NOTE 3 It is anticipated that the manufacturer of the MWR will comply with the Machinery Directive/Machinery Regulations. 1.2 Validity of this document This document applies to all machines, which are ordered one year after the publication date by CEN of this document. 1.3 Additional application of this document Infrastructure managers could use this document for certain aspects of a machine that has not been designed specifically for use in a railway environment where the design of these aspects assumes an additional safety relevance when used in a railway environment.

This document describes three test methods for characterizing the compactability of a bituminous mix, by the relation between its density or void content and the compaction energy applied to it, using an impact (Marshall) compactor, gyratory compactor, or a vibratory compactor. This document applies to bituminous mixtures, both those prepared in laboratory and those resulting sampled from plant produced mixtures. The results of the test method serve to supplement the results of mixture design.

This document describes a test method for measuring the temperature of asphalt mixtures after mixing and during storage, transportation and laying. This document includes the contact temperature-measuring device and the non-contact temperature-measuring device (infrared-thermometer). In cases of dispute, the refence method shall be using the contact temperature measuring device.

This document applies to a) manholes, when made from glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) based on polyester resin (UP); b) inspection chambers, when made from glass-reinforced thermosetting plastics (GRP) based on polyester resin (UP) which are intended to be used with inverts which are at a depth not exceeding 2 m. These products are intended to be used within a drain or sewer system operating without pressure or occasionally at a head of pressure up to 1 bar. It applies to products, and their joints, intended for use in buried installations and to be installed by open-trench techniques. The units have a circular shape with nominal sizes as specified in EN ISO 23856. The intended use of these products is to provide access to, buried drain or sewer systems for the conveyance of waste water at temperatures up to 50 °C, without pressure or occasionally at a head of pressure up to 1 bar, outside buildings and installed in areas subjected to vehicle and/or pedestrian traffic. It specifies definitions including symbols, requirements and characteristics of manholes, inspection chambers, joints, materials, test methods and marking. NOTE It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.
