BS EN 16432-4:2026

This standard BS EN 16432-4:2026 Railway applications. Ballastless track systems is classified in these ICS categories:

• 45.080 Rails and railway components
• 93.100 Construction of railways

This part of EN 16432 series specifies how to integrate the particular aspects of ballastless track systems for attenuation of vibration into the system and subsystem design and component configuration according to EN 16432-2:2017. The general system and subsystem design requirements are assigned from EN 16432-1:2017. Additional noise and vibration requirements can be project specific and are not provided by this document. Acoustic requirements are considered as input for the track design from the acoustic design. The acoustic design and the track design affect each other and may require an iterative overall design process. The range of applicability covers all kind of rail systems including Urban Rail systems.
