3.10 works on track works on track cover:  initial construction;  simultaneous or separated renewal of rails, sleepers, other components and ballast;  tamping/levelling/lining/dynamic track stabiliser (DTS) work to correct track geometry;  other works on the track, excluding works covered by EN 13231-3;  welding. 4 Acceptance of works on plain line 4.1 General The requirements under this clause apply to works as defined in 3.10. Related works, e.g. platform reconstruction, formation, drainage, level crossings are not covered by this standard. The acceptance of welding work in conjunction with track works is covered by prEN 14730 (series) when available. An acceptance form shall be prepared for each item of work outlining the results achieved (see an example of this type of form in Annex B). Acceptance is not given until the work is completed in accordance with the requirements of the contract. 4.2 Acceptance deadlines Acceptance shall not be carried out until the track has been subjected to an appropriate passing tonnage, including the mechanically simulated loading (e.g. by a DTS), which shall be defined by the customer that permits clearance of the track for the maximum permitted speed. It is permitted for acceptance to occur within a period after the completion of the works as defined by the customer (i.e. after receipt of the application from the contractor), even if the appropriate passing tonnage has not been achieved. 4.3 Acceptance measurements and checks Before acceptance, the following measurements or checks shall be carried out when applicable (manually or by automatic means):  relative track geometry;
