Railway applications - Track - Safety requirements for portable machines and trolleys for construction and maintenance

This document deals with the technical requirements to minimise the railway specific significant hazards of portable machines and trolleys used for work on tracks as listed in clause 4 and annex A which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of portable machines and trolleys when used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. It does not deal with the general function of the machines (e.g. cutting, drilling, grinding).
This document applies to portable machines and portable trolleys designed for work on the track with nominal track gauges of 1 435 mm and 1 668 mm and clearance gauge as defined in annex B including cutting machines and those designed for working on wooden sleepers.
This document does not apply to portable trolleys coupled together, whether or not self propelled, and trolleys used for transporting personnel.
For portable machines and trolleys used on railway lines with a different clearance gauge to that defined in
annex B specific requirements concerning the clearance gauge may apply ).
This document does not apply to the following:
-   requirements for quality of the work or performance of the machine;
-   regulations defined by each infrastructure controller for portable machine and trolley operation which shall be the subject of negotiation between the user and the manufacturer;
-   portable machines used from railway vehicles.
This document does not establish the additional requirements for the following:
-   operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as: freezing applications, high temperatures, corrosive environment, tropical environment, contaminating environments, strong magnetic fields);
-   operation subject to special rules as potentially explosive atmospheres;
-   electromagnetic compatibility, due to e.g. electronic components;
-   hazards occurring during decommissioning and/or recycling;
-   hazards due to vibration;
-   hazards due to wind speed grea

Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Sicherheitsanforderungen an tragbare Maschinen und Rollwagen für Bau und Instandhaltung

Dieses Dokument behandelt die technischen Anforderungen, um die in Abschnitt 4 und Anhang A aufgeführten spezifischen, signifikanten Gefährdungen für tragbare Maschinen und Rollwagen beim Arbeiten auf Gleisen zu begrenzen, die bei der Inbetriebnahme, dem Gebrauch und dem Instandhalten der tragbaren Maschinen und Rollwagen auftreten können, wenn sie wie vorgesehen eingesetzt und unter den vom Hersteller festgelegten Bedingungen betrieben werden. Sie behandelt nicht die generellen Funktionen der Maschinen, z. B. Schneiden, Bohren, Schleifen.
Dieses Dokument gilt für tragbare Maschinen und Rollwagen, die für Arbeiten auf Eisenbahnanlagen mit Nennspurweiten von 1435 mm und 1668 mm und der Begrenzungslinie nach Anhang B konstruiert wurden, einschließlich der Trennschleifmaschinen und der Maschinen, die speziell für das Bearbeiten der Holzschwellen im Gleis konzipiert wurden.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für gekuppelte tragbare Rollwagen mit oder ohne Eigenantrieb und auch nicht für den Personentransport.
Für tragbare Maschinen und Rollwagen für den Einsatz auf Eisenbahngleisen mit anderen Begrenzungslinien als sie in Anhang B definiert sind, können spezifische Anforderungen an die Begrenzungslinie ) gelten.

Applications ferroviaires - Voie - Prescriptions de sécurité pour machines et lorries portables pour la construction et la maintenance

La présente Norme européenne traite des prescriptions techniques pour minimiser les risques spécifiques au ferroviaire et significatifs des machines et lorries portables utilisés pour les travaux sur les voies ferrées comme mentionné à l'Article 4 et en Annexe A, qui peuvent se présenter lors de la mise en service, l'utilisation et l'entretien des machines et lorries portables quand ils sont utilisés comme prévu et dans les conditions fixées par le fabricant.
La présente Norme européenne ne traite pas des fonctions générales des machines (par exemple sciage, perçage, meulage).
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux machines et lorries portables conçus pour les travaux sur les voies ferrées à écartement nominal de 1 435 mm et de 1 668 mm, avec gabarit autorisé tel que défini en Annexe B, comprenant les tronçonneuses à rail et les machines conçues spécifiquement pour le travail des traverses en bois.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux lorries portables accouplés ensembles, automoteurs ou non, et aux lorries destinés au transport du personnel.
Des règles spécifiques  ) de gabarit peuvent s'appliquer aux machines et lorries portables utilisés sur des lignes à gabarit autres que celui défini en Annexe B.
