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.
