This European Standard characterizes the quality of track geometry based on parameters defined in EN 13848 1 and specifies the different track geometry classes which should be considered.This European Standard covers the following topics:- description of track geometry quality;- classification of track quality according to track geometry parameters;- considerations on how this classification can be used;- this European Standard applies to high-speed and conventional lines of 1 435 mm and wider gauge;- this European Standard forms an integral part of EN 13848 series.
