This document specifies laboratory test procedures to determine the static and dynamic stiffness of rail pads, baseplate pads and complete rail fastening assemblies.

This document is applicable to under ballast mats used in ballasted track and defines the test procedures and their evaluation criteria. This document provides particular information in the following areas: - test methods, test arrangements and evaluation criteria of under ballast mat; - data supplied by the purchaser and by the supplier; - definition of general process of design approval tests; - definition of routine tests. This document defines the specific test procedures for under ballast mat: - stiffness tests; - fatigue tests; - number of tests for severe environmental condition. This document also sets out procedures for testing fitness for purpose and provides information on quality monitoring as part of quality assurance procedures. This document does not, however, contain requirements pertaining to the functions of under ballast mats. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to define these requirements and to choose the optional tests.

This document specifies a laboratory test procedure for applying repeated displacement cycles representative of the displacements caused by traffic on railway track. It is used for assessing the long term performance of direct fastening systems. The procedure is applicable to surface mounted rail on sleepers, bearers and slab track, and embedded rail. This test procedure applies to a complete fastening assembly.

This document establishes requirements, test procedures, assessment methods and acceptance criteria for aerodynamics in tunnels and rolling stock in tunnels. Topics of aerodynamic pressures and loadings, aerodynamic resistance and micro-pressure waves are addressed. Requirements for rolling stock with operating speeds equal to or above 200 km/h are provided for pressures generated in tunnel operation. Requirements for infrastructure with design speeds above 160 km/h or high blockage ratio or tunnels longer than 12 km are provided for pressures generated in tunnel operation. These requirements are not applicable to light rail and urban rail. This document is applicable to all railway vehicles and infrastructure with track gauges from 1 435 mm to 1 668 mm inclusive.
