scope:
This part of this European Standard covers the following subjects: - describe the design process of switches and crossings, and the use of the other parts of this standard; - geometric design principles for wheel guidance; - definition of basic limits of supply; - applied forces and their adequate support; - tolerance levels. These are illustrated herein by application to a turnout. The main switch and crossing components are represented in turnouts and the principles used in turnouts apply equally to more complex layouts.
