This European Standard specifies a laboratory test procedure to determine:
a) the maximum longitudinal force that can be applied to a rail, secured to a sleeper, bearer or element of slab track by a rail fastening assembly, without non-elastic displacement of the rail occurring, or
b) the longitudinal stiffness at a specified longitudinal displacement of a specimen of embedded rail with an adhesive fastening system.
