Can wooden sleepers still be used for dedicated lines nowadays? Are there any mandatory requirements?

Previously, the railway siding needed repairs, so a batch of wooden sleepers was purchased. However, some people said that wooden sleepers can no longer be used; they have all been replaced with concrete sleepers. I wonder if there is such a regulation on the part of the railway authorities?
It seems so; look at the railway sleepers these days – they’re all concrete ones.
Sleepers should no longer be seen in railway construction these days. From what has been observed over the past few years in the construction of infrastructure and housing projects, the cement grade used these days is indeed very high; with strict supervision, the quality will truly be excellent.
