Clear, standards-based guidance for steel fishplates used with railway rails. This edition lays out the British Standard requirements for bull head and flat bottom fishplates, including material classes, chemical limits, tensile tests, bend tests, and quality controls. It presents the tests, tolerances, and production steps that help ensure parts meet recognized railway specifications.

The document covers two main classes of steel, defines required chemical compositions, and prescribes testing at the manufacturer’s works and independent analyses. It also details how the fishplates should be finished, sawn to length, and prepared with correctly positioned bolt holes. Practical tables show the sizes, bolt-hole spacing, and bolt sizes for different rail sections.
