Abstract
Overview
EN 16431:2026 is a European standard developed by CEN, dedicated to the specification of hollow sleepers and bearers used in railway infrastructure. This standard provides comprehensive technical criteria and systematic control procedures for hollow sleepers and bearers installed in ballasted tracks with Vignole rails. Additionally, it covers their use in ballastless tracks, where customer-specific requirements may apply. The objective of EN 16431:2026 is to ensure that these infrastructure components meet robust safety, mechanical, and functional performance requirements necessary for modern rail networks.
