This European Standard specifies the requirements for the homologation of track geometry quality parameters
as measured by various measuring devices fitted on track recording vehicles. These measuring devices are
described in A1 Part 2 of the standard. This European Standard applies to all track geometry parameters
including track gauge, longitudinal level, alignment, cross level (cant/superelevation) and twist. It defines each
parameter and specifies the requirements for measurement, the analysis methods and the presentation of results.
!Parts 3 and 4 give a description of measuring devices complying partially with this Part 1 according to the
specificities of respectively track construction and maintenance machines, and manual and lightweight devices.
