prEN 14730 (series), Railway applications – Track – Aluminothermic welding of rails 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 absolute track position position of the track in reference to an external coordinated system 3.2 acceptance acceptance is the declaration of the customer to the contractor that the work has been achieved in accordance with the contract 3.3 design track gauge single value which is obtained when all the components of the track conform precisely to their design dimensions or their median design dimension when there is range. It may differ from nominal track gauge. The design track gauge is specified by the customer taking into account the materials, the method of measurement and whether the application is on plain line or in switches and crossings 3.4 design track geometry calculated values of track geometric parameters

3.6 nominal track gauge single value which identifies the track gauge but may differ from the design track gauge 3.7 relative track geometry track parameters measured on the track by a moving system 3.8 tolerance permissible deviation from reference or designed value
3.9 track geometry group of parameters defining the position of the rails, usually the following: gauge, alignment, longitudinal level, twist and cant
3.10 works on switches and crossings works on switches and crossings cover:  initial construction;  simultaneous or separated replacement of parts of turnouts (switch rail/stock rail, crossing, etc.), bearers and ballast;  tamping / levelling / lining / dynamic track stabiliser (DTS) work to correct track geometry;  other works on switches and crossings, excluding works covered by EN 13231-3;  welding.
4 Acceptance of works on switches and crossings 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 switch and crossing 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.
