(Main)Railway applications - Track - Road rail machines and associated equipment - Part 1: Technical requirements for travelling and working
Railway applications - Track - Road rail machines and associated equipment - Part 1: Technical requirements for travelling 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, operation and maintenance of the machines when carried out in accordance with the specification given by the manufacturer or his authorized representative.
These risks are normally common regardless of the track gauge however additional requirements can apply for travelling and working on infrastructures with narrow gauge or broad gauge lines, 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 while 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.
Vehicles which are not track guided themselves but have attachments that are track guided are not road rail machines.
The requirements within this European Standard are amended and added to by the requirements in Part 4 of this series of standards for machines designed and intended to use urban rail.
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;
- operation in severe working conditions requiring special measures, e.g. work in tunnels or in cuttings, extreme environmental conditions such as: freezing temperatures, high temperatures, corrosive environments, tropical environments, contaminating environments, strong magnetic fields;
- hazards due to errors in software;
- hazards occurring when used to handle suspended loads which may swing freely.
For a road-rail machine it is assumed that an EU road permissible host vehicle will offer an accepted safety level for its designed basic functions before conversion. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in a particular clause this specific aspect is not dealt with in this European Standard.
Other track construction and maintenance machines used on railway tracks are dealt with in other European Standards, see Annex G.
1.2 Validity of this European Standard
This European Standard applies to all machines which are ordered one year after the publication date by CEN of this European Standard.
Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Zwei-Wege Maschinen und zugehörige Ausstattung - Teil 1: Technische Anforderungen an das Fahren und den Arbeitseinsatz
1.1 20BAllgemeines
Diese Europäische Norm legt die technischen Anforderungen zur Minimierung eisenbahnspezifischer Gefährdungen von selbst angetriebenen Zwei Wege Maschinen - im Folgenden als Maschinen bezeichnet - und ihrer zugehörigen Ausstattung fest, die bei der Inbetriebnahme, im Betrieb und bei der Instandhaltung, wenn sie den Anweisungen des Herstellers oder seines autorisierten Vertreters entsprechend erfolgen, entstehen können.
Diese Risiken sind in der Regel unabhängig von der Spurweite verbreitet; für das Versetzen und den Arbeitseinsatz auf Infrastrukturen mit schmalen oder breiten Spurweiten, für Bahnen, die andere Kräfte als Adhäsion zwischen Rad und Schiene nutzen, sowie auf Infrastrukturen im Untergrund können zusätzliche Anforderungen gelten.
Diese Europäische Norm ist auch für Maschinen und deren zugehörige Ausstattung gültig, die bei ihrem Arbeitseinsatz zum Teil vom Schotter oder dem Planum gestützt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für:
- Anforderungen an die Qualität von Arbeiten oder an die Leistung der Maschine;
- spezielle Anforderungen für die Nutzung der Maschinen, festgelegt von dem Maschinenbetreiber, die der Absprache zwischen Hersteller und Infrastrukturunternehmer unterliegen;
- Fahren und Arbeiten auf anderen Untergründen als auf Schienen;
- gesonderte Maschinen, die vorübergehend an Maschinen angebaut sind und zugehörige Ausrüstungen;
- ausgleisbare Maschinen nach 3.2;
- Anhänger nach 3.3, einschließlich Zwei Wege Anhänger.
Fahrzeuge, die nicht selbst über eine Schienenführung, aber über schienengeführte Zusatzteile verfügen, sind keine Zwei Wege Maschinen.
Die Anforderungen in dieser Europäischen Norm wurden abgeändert und durch die Anforderungen an Maschinen, die für den Einsatz auf Schienennahverkehrssystemen entworfen wurden, in Teil 4 dieser Normenreihe ergänzt.
Diese Europäische Norm legt nicht die zusätzlichen Anforderungen für Folgendes fest:
- Einsätze, die besonderen Regeln unterliegen, z. B. explosionsgefährdete Umgebungen;
- Gefährdungen aufgrund natürlicher Ursachen, z. B. Erdbeben, Blitzschlag, Überschwemmung;
- Arbeitsverfahren;
- Einsätze unter schwierigen Arbeitsbedingungen, die besondere Maßnahmen erfordern, z. B. bei Arbeiten in Tunneln oder in Streckenabschnitten mit außergewöhnlichen Bedingungen wie Einsatz bei Frost, hohen Temperaturen, korrosiver Umgebung, tropischer Umgebung, kontaminierter Umgebung, starkem Magnetfeld;
- Gefährdungen aufgrund von Fehlern in der Software;
- Gefährdungen durch frei schwingende Lasten.
Zum Umbau von Zwei Wege Maschinen wird davon ausgegangen, dass ein für EU Straßen zulässiges Basisfahrzeug für seine vorgesehenen Grundfunktionen genügend Sicherheit bietet. Sofern es nicht in einem bestimmten Abschnitt anders festgelegt ist, wird dieser spezielle Aspekt in dieser Europäischen Norm nicht behandelt.
Andere Bau und Instandhaltungsmaschinen für den Einsatz auf Eisenbahngleisen werden in anderen Europäischen Normen behandelt, siehe Anhang G.
1.2 21BGültigkeit dieser Europäischen Norm
Diese Europäische Norm bezieht sich auf alle Maschinen, die ein Jahr nach dem Veröffentlichungsdatum beim CEN dieser Europäischen Norm bestellt werden.
Applications ferroviaires - Voie - Machines rail-route et équipements associés - Partie 1 : Prescriptions techniques pour le déplacement et le travail
1.1 Généralités
La présente Norme européenne traite des exigences techniques pour minimiser les risques de danger spécifiques au domaine ferroviaire des machines rail-route automotrices (ci-après désignées par « machines ») et des équipements associés. Ces risques peuvent se manifester lors des opérations de mise en service, d’exploitation et de maintenance des machines, ces opérations étant réalisées conformément aux spécifications données par le fabricant ou son mandataire.
Ces risques sont normalement les mêmes quel que soit l’écartement de la voie ; toutefois des exigences particulières peuvent s’appliquer pour la circulation sur des infrastructures ferroviaires à voie large ou étroite, des chemins de fer autres que ceux à adhérence rail/route et 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 exigences relatives à la qualité du travail, aux performances du travail effectué par la machine ;
- aux exigences spécifiques fixées par l’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 provisoirement sur des machines ou équipements associés ;
- aux machines déraillables telles que définies au 3.2 ;
- aux remorques, telles que définies au 3.3, y compris les remorques rail-route.
Les véhicules qui ne sont pas eux-mêmes guidés par la voie mais qui ont des accessoires guidés par la voie ne sont pas considérés comme étant des machines rail-route.
Les exigences de la présente Norme européenne sont amendées et complétées par les exigences de la partie 4 de cette série de normes pour les machines conçues et prévues pour être utilisées sur des réseaux ferroviaires urbains.
La présente Norme européenne ne tient pas compte des exigences supplémentaires suivantes :
- mise en oeuvre de la machine dans des conditions faisant l’objet de règles spéciales, par exemple atmosphères potentiellement explosives ;
- risques dus à des causes naturelles, par exemple séisme, foudre, inondation ;
- méthodes de travail ;
- mise en oeuvre de la machine dans des conditions sévères nécessitant des mesures particulières, par exemple travaux en tunnels ou en tranchées, conditions d’environnement extrêmes telles que températures glaciales, hautes températures, environnements corrosifs, tropicaux, ou contaminants, champs magnétiques de grande intensité ;
- risques dus à des erreurs de logiciels ;
- risques dus aux mouvements de charges suspendues susceptibles de balancement.
Pour une machine rail-route, il est supposé qu’un véhicule-hôte autorisé sur les routes au sein de l’Union européenne offrira un niveau de sécurité acceptable pour ses fonctions de base avant conversion. Sauf spécification contraire explicite dans un article particulier, cet aspect spécifique n’est pas traité dans la présente Norme européenne.
D’autres machines de construction et de maintenance de la voie utilisées sur les voies ferrées sont traitées dans d’autres Normes européennes, voir Annexe G.
1.2 Validité de la présente Norme européenne
La présente Norme européenne s’applique à toutes les machines dont la commande a eu lieu un an après la date de publication de la présente Norme européenne par le CEN.

European foreword
This document (prEN 15746-1:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway
applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 15746-1:2010+A1:2011.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directives.
For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annexes ZA, ZB, or ZC, which are an integral part of
this document.
EN 15746, Railway applications — Track — Road-rail machines and associated equipment, is currently
composed with the following parts:
— Part 1: Technical requirements for running and working;
— Part 2: General safety requirements;
— Part 3: Technical requirements for running [currently at Enquiry stage];
— Part 4: Technical requirements for running, travelling and working on urban rail [currently at
Enquiry stage].
Introduction
This European Standard was prepared to meet the essential requirements of EU Directives to facilitate
an open market for goods and services.
This document is the first of a series of four parts of the European Standard: Railway applications –
Track – Road-rail machines and associated equipment, dealing with railway specific risks of the road-
rail machines when running, travelling and working on railway infrastructures:
— Part 1 covers the technical requirements for the machines in working and travelling modes, and is
applicable for all machines.
— Part 2 covers the safety requirements for the machines in working and travelling modes; this is a
harmonized standard with the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
— Part 3 covers the essential requirements for the machines that have a running mode and run on
tracks within the scope of the Railway Directive 2007/58/EC; this is a harmonized standard with
the Railway Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC and its associated Technical Specifications for
Interoperability (TSI).
— Part 4 covers the technical requirements for the machines that have a running mode on urban rail
and/or for machines intended to have working and travelling modes on urban rail.
Part 1 defines requirements for approval of the machine for use on the railway, depending on the
decision of the Infrastructure Manager or National rules the assessment of conformance could be by the
Infrastructure Manager concerned, by a third party assessor or declaration of conformity by the
manufacturer.
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.
Part 3 defines requirements for running on the European railway network, assessment of conformity is
by a notified body as prescribed in the Railway Interoperability Directive.
Part 4 defines requirements for approval of the machine for use on urban rail, depending on the
decision of the controller of the network or National rules the assessment of conformance could be by
the urban rail controller concerned, by a third party assessor or declaration of conformity by the
manufacturer.
The risks which exist in all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and other components of
machines and which are dealt with in the relevant European Standards are not within the scope of this
European Standard. Where necessary, references are made to appropriate standards of this type.
1 Scope
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, operation and maintenance of the machines
when carried out in accordance with the specification given by the manufacturer or his authorized
representative.
These risks are normally common regardless of the track gauge however additional requirements can
apply for travelling and working on infrastructures with narrow gauge or broad gauge lines, 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 while 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.
Vehicles which are not track guided themselves but have attachments that are track guided are not road
rail machines.
The requirements within this European Standard are amended and added to by the requirements in
Part 4 of this series of standards for machines designed and intended to use urban rail.
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;
— operation in severe working conditions requiring special measures, e.g. work in tunnels or in
cuttings, extreme environmental conditions such as: freezing temperatures, high temperatures,
corrosive environments, tropical environments, contaminating environments, strong magnetic
fields;
— hazards due to errors in software;
— hazards occurring when used to handle suspended loads which may swing freely.
For a road-rail machine it is assumed that an EU road permissible host vehicle will offer an accepted
safety level for its designed basic functions before conversion. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in a
particular clause this specific aspect is not dealt with in this European Standard.
Other track construction and maintenance machines used on railway tracks are dealt with in other
European Standards, see Annex G.
1.2 Validity of this European Standard
This European Standard applies to all machines which are ordered one year after the publication date
by CEN of this European Standard.

3.6
railway specific attachment
equipment that is mechanically fixed to and / or powered or controlled from the road rail machine
Note 1 to entry Mechanically fixed should be taken to indicate that the attaching point is semi-permanent (very
often a Quick Hitch type device). Equipment which requires skilled fitting staff to assemble / remove should not
normally be thought of as an attachment – such equipment is a part of the original machine, and its addition is a
modification to the machine.
3.7
demountable module
removable component which is capable of being attached with dedicated fastening system to a machine,
to perform a specific function
3.8
lifting accessory
loose lifting tackle, i.e. components or equipment not attached to the machine and placed between the
machinery and the load or on the load in order to attach it
3.9
host vehicle
basic road vehicle or machine which is converted to run additionally on rails this vehicle needs to be
either EU road permissible or CE marked
3.10
manufacturer
body that designs and constructs a road-rail machine, or converts the original machine/vehicle to a
road-rail machine
3.11
running mode
mode by which the suspension of the machine allows movement along the track, all parts stowed with
everything within the applicable gauge, the machine interrelates with the signalling and control
systems for normal railway traffic
Note 1 to entry: The mode only relates to the technical configuration of the machine independent of the
operational mode (e.g. movements during shunting and regular train running). The operational mode is defined
by the infrastructure manager.
3.12
travelling mode
mode by which the suspension of the machine allows movement along the track, all parts stowed with
everything within the applicable gauge, the machine does not require to interrelate with the signalling
and control systems (in this condition there is no need to ensure operation of signalling systems or for
cab based signalling equipment), this mode also includes shunting
Note 1 to entry A machine in travelling mode does not need to meet the operational requirements for the
movement of trains on the railway network.
Note 2 to entry The mode only relates to the technical configuration of the machine independent of the
operational mode (e.g. movements during shunting and regular train running). The operational mode is defined
by the infrastructure manager.
3.13
working mode
mode by which the machine is used to perform any of its permitted design tasks, as soon as a machine is
unpacked it is in working mode
3.14
shunting
movement along the track, controlled by operational signals, or radio, of self-propelled machines, either
on its own or towing or propelling one or more vehicles or machines
3.15
on and off tracking mode
mode of the machine when it is in a state that enables it to be on or off tracked
3.16
running
moving the machine in running mode along the track
3.17
operating track
track corresponding to the criteria of the infrastructure manager on which vehicles may run under
normal signalling arrangements (with or without a speed limit)
3.18
working track
track not open for normal traffic
3.19
degraded working track
track being maintained for which the geometrical parameters may reach the limiting values as specified
in EN 14033-2:2008+A1:2011, Annex F and for which special operational restrictions may apply
3.20
railway infrastructure
all installations required for the running of railway vehicles
EXAMPLE Tracks, crossings, catenaries, signals.
3.21
machine operator
private or public undertaking which operates machines for the construction and maintenance of the
infrastructure
3.22
operator
person who handles the controls of a machine in order to perform the functions of the machine
3.23
driver
person who handles the controls of a machine in order to control the machine in travelling and working
mode when moving along the track
Note 1 to entry: The driver and operator can be the same.
3.24
train
self-propelled machine or assembly of vehicles/machines attached by couplings conforming to the
relevant regulations of the authorized body and/or infrastructure manager
Note 1 to entry: This is only relevant to Category 8 machines.
Note 2 to entry: This does not exclude Category 9 machines from shunting conventional rail vehicles, where
permitted by the infrastructure manager.
3.25
special train
assembly of vehicles/machines attached by couplings to a Category 9 machine, and conforming to the
relevant requirements of the infrastructure manager
3.26
rated load
load that the lifting equipment has been designed for normal operation and the manufacturer states can
be lifted in any specified position
3.27
authorized body
body in a state that, in accordance with the laws and prescriptions in force in that state, is competent to
approve rail vehicles for the use in public rail traffic
3.28
type testing
examination of the first machine, of a new type, for build conformity to the requirements of this
standard
3.29
type conformance testing
procedure to verify that the machine conforms to the design of the first machine of the type that has
been approved
3.30
type approval certificate
document issued after the checking of documents and/or testing of vehicles in which the agreement of
the use of the machine on the infrastructure is confirmed
3.31
railway undertaking
private or public undertaking whose main business is to provide rail transport services for goods and/
or passengers
Note 1 to entry: Category 8 machines will require a railway undertaking to operate the machine on the
operating track.
3.32
infrastructure manager
public body or undertaking responsible for establishing and maintaining railway infrastructure, as well
as for operating the railway control and safety systems
3.33
access permit
document issued by the infrastructure manager for an approved machine to be used on the railway
infrastructure, if necessary with special access conditions
3.34
working authorization
authorization given by an infrastructure manager which permits a machine to work on that railway
infrastructure
3.35
visual test
