Railway applications - Track - Railbound construction and maintenance machines - Part 3: General safety requirements
1.1 General
This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, common to rail bound machines and arising due to the adaptation for their use on railways. These machines are intended for construction, maintenance and inspection of track, structures, infrastructure and fixed electric traction equipment, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, see Clause 4.
This European Standard applies to railbound machines and other vehicles - referred to as machines - working exclusively on the railway (utilising friction adhesion between the rail and rail wheels) but including machines that in working position are partly supported on the ballast or the formation and used for construction, maintenance and inspection of track, structures, infrastructure and fixed electric traction equipment. This European Standard applies to machines that are intended to operate signalling and control systems. Other similar machines are dealt with in other European Standards, see Annex D.
This European Standard deals with the common hazards, in normal circumstances, during transport, assembly and installation, commissioning, use (including setting, programming, and process changeover), operation, cleaning, fault finding, maintenance and de-commissioning of the machines. Additional safety measures can be required by exceptional circumstances, such as extreme ambient temperatures (less than - 20 °C or greater than + 40 °C), highly corrosive or contaminating environment; e.g. due to the presence of chemicals, and potentially explosive atmospheres. Air pressure caused by the passing of high-speed trains at more than 190 km/h is also not dealt with.
NOTE 1 Specific measures for exceptional circumstances are not dealt with in this European Standard. The specific measures for exceptional circumstances introduced by a railway infrastructure manager and requirements introduced by the manuf

Overview
EN 14033-3:2009/FprA1 - "Railway applications - Track - Railbound construction and maintenance machines - Part 3: General safety requirements" (CEN) defines the common safety principles for railbound construction and maintenance machines used on track infrastructure. The standard addresses significant hazards, hazardous situations and events that arise when machines are adapted for use on railways and covers the full machine lifecycle when used as intended and under reasonably foreseeable misuse. It supports essential requirements of EU Directives and was prepared by CEN/TC 256.
Key topics
- Scope of machines covered: Railbound machines working exclusively on the railway (friction adhesion between rail and wheels), including machines partly supported on ballast or formation; machines intended to operate signalling and control systems are included.
- Lifecycle coverage: Common hazards during transport, assembly, installation, commissioning, use (setting, programming, process changeover), operation, cleaning, fault finding, maintenance and de‑commissioning.
- Hazard identification: Significant hazards, hazardous situations and events common to track construction and maintenance machines when adapted for railway use.
- Limitations / exclusions: Exceptional circumstances are not addressed (e.g., ambient temperatures < −20 °C or > +40 °C, highly corrosive or contaminating environments, potentially explosive atmospheres). Air pressure effects from passing high‑speed trains (>190 km/h) are also excluded.
- Normative links and structure: Relates to Part 1 (running) and Part 2 (working) of EN 14033; FprA1 updates include normative reference to EN 14033‑1:2011 and a revised Annex D showing the standards structure for track machines.
- Regulatory context: Informative Annexes ZA and ZB link the standard to EU Directive requirements; CEN members must adopt approved amendments.
Applications
- Manufacturers and designers: Use the standard to identify and mitigate common hazards during design and adaptation of railbound machines.
- Safety engineers and risk assessors: Apply the guidance to carry out machine risk assessments across the machine lifecycle.
- Infrastructure managers and operators: Specify safety requirements in procurement and acceptance of construction and maintenance plant.
- Maintenance teams and trainers: Develop safe work procedures for operation, cleaning, fault finding and de‑commissioning consistent with the standard.
- Certification and compliance: Helps demonstrate conformity with European safety requirements and supports harmonised national adoption by CEN members.
Related standards
- EN 14033 series: Part 1 (Technical requirements for running), Part 2 (Technical requirements for working)
- Other standards referenced in Annex D (structure of European standards for track construction and maintenance machines)
