The scope of this part is:
to establish a working terminology for crossings with moveable parts, which means crossings with
moveable parts to close the gap of the running edge, and their constituent parts, and identify the main
types;
to list the minimum informative requirements for the manufacture of crossings with moveable parts and/or
their constituent parts;
to formulate codes of practice for inspection and tolerances for crossings with moveable parts and/or their
constituent parts;
to establish the limits and extent of supply;
to list the method by which crossings with moveable parts and their constructional parts should be
identified and traced;
to list the different and varying ways by which crossings with moveable parts can be described, using the
following parameters:
geometry of crossings;
types of construction;
performance requirements;
design criteria;
tolerances and inspection.
