<p>This document specifies a test procedure to confirm that the force necessary to pull the anchorage of a rail fastening assembly out of the sleeper or other supporting element is greater than a prescribed value (i.e. it is a "proof load" test).</p>
<p>This test is for components of the fastening system which are:</p>
<p>a) cast into concrete during the manufacture of sleepers or other supporting elements;</p>
<p>b) glued into the cast or drilled holes in concrete; or</p>
<p>c) screwed or otherwise attached to wood, polymeric composite or steel sleepers or other supporting elements.</p>
<p>This test is not applicable to embedded rails.</p>
