Foreword
This document (EN 13977:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 "Railway applications",
the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by September 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by September 2005.
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 Directive.
For relationship with EU Directive, see informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,

0 Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1 and EN ISO 12100-2.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document.
When the provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
Because the EU Directive “Machines” does not consider railway specific problems of construction and maintenance
machines, additional requirements and verifications are necessary and these are dealt with in this document (see
6.2). Portable machines and trolleys for track construction and maintenance, which comply with these
requirements, receive a special marking in accordance with 6.5.3, in addition to the CE mark.
Technical characteristics, deviations or special national conditions will be the subject of special requirements of the
infrastructure manager controller and/or negotiation between the user and the manufacturer, see annex G.

1 Scope
1.1 General
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
1)
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 greater than 35 m/s;
hazards due to natural causes e.g. earthquake, lightning, flooding etc.
noise.
NOTE Noise of machines which are dealt with by this document is regarded as a significant hazard. Noiseis not covered by
this document but will be dealt with in an Amendment to the first edition of this standard. This Amendment will give:
clauses dealing with noise emission according to EN 1746.
a noise test code using as a basis for preparation the designation of noise-emission according to the requirements of
the Machinery-Directive 98/37/EC, annex I, clause 1.7.4f.
1.2 Validity of this document
This document applies to portable machines and trolleys that are ordered after the date of publication of this
standard.

5.2 Handling devices
5.2.1 Handles used for handling and/or control
The handles used for handling and/or control shall be sufficient for the mass of the portable machine or the trolley
and to allow removal of the portable machine or the trolley from the track.
The handles are to be positioned to ensure the sharing of the weight equally. The weight on each handle shall not
exceed 25 kg.
The handles shall be positioned at least 400 mm above the standing level of the operator and shall be freely
reached in the vertical direction.
If one of the above requirements cannot be fulfilled the mass per handle shall not exceed 10 kg.
Handles shall be designed as encircling handles, the diameter of material of the grip shall be between
20 mm and 30 mm and the grip opening shall have a minimum length of 250 mm and a minimum width of 50 mm.
The handles shall be positioned so that they are inside the vertical limits of the gauge indicated in annex B with the
operator in the work position intended by the manufacturer (see 7.4.10).
When such handles are also used for control purposes they shall, when used for handling, be in the stop position.
If more than one person is recommended for putting the machine or trolley on or off the track the number of people
necessary shall be indicated on the portable machine or trolley as appropriate (see 7.6).
5.2.2 Additional handle, lifting points and securing points
If the portable machine or portable trolley weighs more than 25 kg, or it is not designed to be lifted by one person,
then an additional handle and a lifting point shall be provided suitable for the weight, for maintaining the equilibrium
of the machine and for preventing spillage of liquids (e.g. fuel, lubricants). For transport in vehicles points to secure
the machine shall be provided.
5.3 Wheels and rollers
The wheels and rollers used for moving and guidance of machines or trolleys on rail(s) shall:
be arranged and in sufficient numbers to ensure the stability of the machine on the track (see 5.15);
be shaped and of the correct width to ensure good guidance on the rails and to take account of gauges
between 1 430 mm and 1 470 mm with a 1 435 mm nominal gauge, and gauges 1 665 mm and 1 698 mm
with a 1 668 mm nominal gauge;
not damage the electrical connections to the rails (see annex G);
not damage signalling equipment (see annex G);
allow the free running on rail through switches and crossings, level crossings and other installations.
Where this is not achievable the handbook (see 7.2) shall make an indication of this limitation.

5.4 Immobilisation device
To avoid the risk of running away, each portable machine (considered as an assembly) and trolley fitted with rail
wheels or rollers shall be capable of being immobilised either by an automatic brake or automatic transmission
brake or by design effective on a gradient as steep as 40 ‰.
Trolleys shall also be equipped with a braking device and release control (dead-man type) that can assure, at full
load and at a reference speed of 6 km/h, that the braking distance will not exceed the values indicated in Table 1.
This applies also to portable machines that can roll away when working.

If portable machines and trolleys are fitted with clamping and/or supporting devices they shall:
be able to resist vibrations and forces generated by the work of the machine.
They shall not cause:
permanent deformation of these devices;
reduction of the stability of the track;
damage to the rails, sleepers, or track fastenings.
