This European Standard is part of the series "Railway applications - Gauges" which consists of the following parts: Part 1: General - Common rules for infrastructure and rolling stock Part 2: Rolling stock gauge Part 3: Structure gauges This document is the generic specification on gauges for rolling stock and infrastructure in the railway sector and particularly deals with aspects of interfaces between rolling stock and infrastructure. There are normative connections to: the EN 14067 standard series, EN 14363, to other parts of the EN 15273 standard series, EN 15313, EN 50367 and EN 50119; there are other essential normative connections to UIC Leaflets, especially of the UIC 505 series. This document shall replace existing sets of rules in this field, especially UIC Leaflets of the UIC 505 and UIC 506 series and specify a common standard. The document is the first one of a series which consists of three standards and forms the European Standard on rolling stock construction gauges and gauges: This first part deals with general issues, approaches which affect the infrastructure and the rolling stock, reference lines and the associated rules. On the one hand, the standard aims at defining a gauge which shall be cleared und kept clear for the passage of the rolling stock, and on the other hand, at defining the rules for the calculation or recalculation of the loading gauge of the rolling stock regarding unrestricted use of these vehicles in one or several networks. The second part of this standard series contains rules for the calculation of the loading gauge of the rolling stock depending on the rolling stock characteristics, the chosen profile and the associated calculation methods, whereas the third part contains calculation rules for the infrastructure dimensions which are necessary for operating railway vehicles with certain profiles, including the consideration of constraint points. This standard also regulates the distribution of responsibilities between the operators of infrastructure and rolling stock. This standard contains a list of the various European gauges for railway traffic. Some are necessary to ensure interoperability, whereas others are intended for more specific applications. It is applicable to all authorities involved in railway operation and to other track railway systems (for instance, trams, metros, and so on), but not to rail-guided buses and similar systems. It allows vehicles and infrastructures to be dimensioned and their compliance to be checked relative to the gauging rules. This European Standard applies to new and convertible vehicles and inspection of vehicles and railway systems which are already in service. The national foreword contains warnings on the application of the standard and corrections regarding the contents of the standard.
