4 Principle
The complete fastening assembly is exposed to a salt spray and the effect on ease of dismantling, andreassembly, and condition of individual components is recorded.
5Apparatus
5.1Salt spray equipment, which shall conform with IS0 9227 for the NSS(neutral salt spray) test.
5.2Tools, manually operated, normally used for installing and removing the clamping device from thefastening assembly.
6 Test specimens
Each specimen shall consist of a complete fastening assembly with a section of sleeper, bearer orelement of ballastless track.This shall include a short length of rail of the section for which the fasteningis designed.
7Procedure
Visually examine and record the condition of each component. Then fit the rail to the section of sleeperor baseplate using the fastening components as they are to be assembled in track.
Subject to the neutral salt spray in accordance with IS0 9227 for 300 h.Remove the clamping deviceusing the tools provided; visually examine all the components and record their condition. Thenreassemble the fastening system using the tools provided.
Record any failure to dismantle or reassemble the fastening with the tools provided.
8 Test report
The test report shall include at least the following information:
a) a reference to this document (i.e. ISO 22074-6:2021);
