Bibliography

This part of this European Standard specifies the NDT methods used to detect internal and surface rail defects and the suitability of each method for the detection and evaluation of typical rail defects of rails installed in track.This part of this European Standard does not specify the assessment criteria of rail defects and the derived actions.This part of this European Standard applies only to rail profiles meeting the requirements of EN 13674-1.
