Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for two grades of insulated joint assemblies. It covers insulated joints that are assembled in a factory (referred to in this Standard as ‘factory-assembled bonded insulated joints’) and joint components supplied as a kit for site assembly in track (‘field-assembled insulated joints’).
NOTES:
1 Insulated joints are not expansion joints.
2 Means of demonstrating compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix A.
3 Guidance on information to be provided by the purchaser and supplier is given in Appendix B.
