Railway applications - Track - Road-rail machines and associated equipment - Part 1: Technical requirements for running and working

1.1   General
This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimize the specific railway hazards of self propelled road-rail machines - henceforward referred to as machines - and associated equipment, which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of machines when carried out in accordance with the specification given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative.
Part 1 of EN 15746 defines requirements for approval of the machine by an authorised body; Part 2 defines requirements for the machine to be declared conformant by the manufacturer, except in the case of machines classified under Annex 4 of the Machinery Directive, which require a conformity check in conjunction with a notified body.
Additional requirements can apply for running on infrastructures with narrow gauge or broad gauge lines, lines of tramways, railways utilizing other than adhesion between the rail and rail wheels and underground infrastructures.
This European Standard is also applicable for machines and associated equipment that in working configuration are partly supported on the ballast or the formation.
This European Standard does not apply to the following:
-   the requirements for quality of the work or performance of the machine;
-   the specific requirements established by the machine operator for the use of machines, which will be the subject of negotiation between the manufacturer and the infrastructure manager;
-   running and working whilst not on rails;
-   separate machines temporarily mounted on machines and associated equipment;
-   demountable machines as defined in 3.2;
-   trailers as defined in 3.3, including road-rail trailers.
This European Standard does not establish the additional requirements for the following:
-   operation subject to special rules, e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres;
-   hazards due to natural causes, e.g. earthquake, lightning, flooding;
-   working methods;

Applications ferroviaires - Voie - Machines rail-route et équipements associés - Partie 1: Prescriptions techniques pour la circulation et le travail

1.1 Généralités
La présente Norme européenne traite des prescriptions techniques pour minimiser les risques de danger
spécifiques au domaine ferroviaire des machines rail-route automotrices (nommées dorénavant comme
«machines») et des équipements associés. Ces risques peuvent se produire lors des opérations de mise en
service, d'exploitation et de maintenance des machines; ces opérations sont réalisées conformément aux
spécifications données par le fabricant ou son mandataire.
La partie 1 de l’EN 15746 définit les prescriptions pour l’agrément d’une machine par un organisme autorisé.
La partie 2 de l’EN 15746 définit les prescriptions relatives à la «déclaration de conformité» d’une machine par
le fabricant, à l’exception des machines classées selon l'Annexe 4 de la Directive Machine qui exige une
vérification de la conformité par un organisme notifié.
Des prescriptions particulières peuvent s’appliquer pour la circulation :
⎯ sur les infrastructures ferroviaires à voies large ou étroite ;
⎯ sur des lignes de tramway ;
⎯ sur des chemins de fer autres que ceux à adhérence rail/roue ;
⎯ sur des infrastructures ferroviaires en souterrain.
La présente norme européenne s'applique aussi aux machines et aux équipements associés qui, en
configuration de travail, prennent partiellement appui sur le ballast ou sur la plate-forme.
La présente norme européenne ne s’applique pas :
⎯ aux conditions relatives à la qualité du travail, aux performances du travail effectué par la machine ;
⎯ aux exigences spécifiques fixées par chaque exploitant de la machine pour l’emploi des machines et qui
font l’objet de négociations entre le fabricant et le gestionnaire de l’infrastructure ;
⎯ à la circulation et au travail hors voies ferrées ;
⎯ aux machines séparées montées pour une durée temporaire sur des machines ou équipements

Železniške naprave - Zgornji ustroj - Dvopotna železniška vozila in oprema - 1. del: Tehnične zahteve za vožnjo in delovanje

Ta evropski standard obravnava tehnične zahteve za zmanjšanje nevarnosti, značilnih za železnice, samognanih dvopotnih železniških vozil – v nadaljevanju vozila – in povezane opreme, ki lahko nastanejo med zagonom, obratovanjem in vzdrževanjem vozil, kadar se izvaja v skladu s specifikacijami, ki jih je podal proizvajalec ali njegov pooblaščeni zastopnik. 1. del EN 15746 opredeljuje zahteve, ki jih za vozilo odobri pooblaščeni organ; 2. del opredeljuje zahteve, ki jih mora izpolnjevati vozilo, da ga proizvajalec lahko označi za skladno, razen vozil, ki so razvrščena v skladu z dodatkom 4 Direktive o strojih, ki zahteva preverjanje skladnosti v povezavi s priglašenim organom. Za vožnjo po ozkotirni ali širokotirni infrastrukturi, tramvajske linije, železnice, ki ne uporabljajo oprijema med tiri in kolesi, ter podzemno infrastrukturo lahko veljajo dodatne zahteve. Ta evropski standard velja tudi za vozila in povezano opremo, ki jih v delovnem položaju delno podpira balast ali formacija. Druga vozila za gradnjo in vzdrževanje zgornjega ustroja, ki se uporabljajo na železniških tirnicah, obravnavajo drugi evropski standardi, glej dodatek G.

All such moveable parts and assemblies forming part of the machine that are unpacked in order to allow the machine to work in rail and non-rail configuration shall, in their stowed state, be secured by devices capable of resisting the foreseeable forces encountered during running, which shall not rely upon a power source to retain the locking function. Moveable parts shall be held by either:  efficient locks The visible positive locking components in running configuration shall be painted in red. If the locking mechanism is powered, the control of locking should preferably be possible from inside the machine gauge; or  check valves on hydraulic systems, which shall prevent movement and be fail safe. It shall be obvious to anyone checking the machine that these parts of the machine are locked in their stowed position. Furthermore, for locking devices operable from the cab, either a red warning light shall illuminate on the driver's desk to indicate if any moveable part of the machine is not locked, or a green light shall indicate on the driver's desk that all moveable parts of the machine are locked.
