Railway applications - Track - Trailers and associated equipment - Part 1: Technical requirements for running and working

This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimize the specific railway hazards of trailers and associated equipment, which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of trailers when carried out in accordance with the specification given by the manufacturer or his authorized representative. This European Standards applies to trailers that are not intended to operate signalling and control systems. Other similar machines are dealt with in other European Standards,
see Annex G.
Note   Machines not intended for operating signalling and control systems are only permitted to run under special conditions and within areas specifically designated by the infrastructure manager.
Part 1 of this European Standard deals with requirements for approval of the trailer by an authorized body, part 2 deals with requirements for the trailer to be declared conformant by the manufacturer, except in the case of trailers classified in Annex 4 of the Machinery Directive which require 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 trailers and associated equipment that in working configuration are partly supported on the ballast or the formation.
Where two or more trailers are used together to transport loads in a fixed formation, e.g. where a metal container is fixed to two small trailers, the whole system shall be treated as a trailer and comply with the requirements of this European Standard.

Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Anhänger und zugehörige Ausstattung - Teil 1: Technische Anforderungen an das Fahren und den Arbeitseinsatz

Diese Europäische Norm legt die technischen Anforderungen zur Minimierung eisenbahnspezifischer
Gefahren von Anhängern und zugehöriger Ausstattung fest, die bei der Inbetriebnahme, dem Betrieb und der
Instandhaltung von Anhängern, den Anweisungen des Herstellers oder seinem berechtigten Vertreter folgend,
entstehen können. Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Anhänger, die nicht für den Betrieb von Signal- und
Steuerungssysteme vorgesehen sind. Ähnliche Maschinen werden in anderen Europäischen Normen
behandelt, siehe Anhang G.
ANMERKUNG Maschinen, die nicht für den Betrieb von Signal- und Steuerungssystemen vorgesehen sind, dürfen
nur unter speziellen Bedingungen fahren und nur in Streckenabschnitten, die gesondert vom Infrastrukturunternehmer
bestimmt sind.
Teil 1 dieser Europäischen Norm behandelt die Anforderungen für die Prüfung der Anhänger durch eine
autorisierte Stelle, Teil 2 behandelt die Anforderungen an die Anhänger für die Konformität, die der Hersteller
bestätigt, mit Ausnahme von Anhängern, die nach der Maschinenrichtlinie, Anhang 4 klassifiziert sind und
eine Konformitätsprüfung in Verbindung mit einer notifizierten Stelle benötigen.
Für das Fahren auf Infrastrukturen mit schmalen Spurweiten oder auf Breitspurstrecken, Straßenbahnlinien,
von Eisenbahnen, die eine andere Haftreibung zwischen Schiene und Rad nutzen, und Infrastrukturen im
Untergrund können zusätzliche Anforderungen bestehen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt auch für Anhänger und zugehörige Ausrüstungen, die sich in Arbeitstellung
teilweise auf dem Schotter oder dem Untergrund (Planum) abstützen.
Wenn zwei oder mehrere Anhänger für das Fahren von Lasten in einer bestimmten Anordnung eingesetzt
werden, z. B. wenn ein Eisencontainer an zwei schmalen Anhängern befestigt ist, muss das ganze System als
ein Anhänger betrachtet werden und den Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm entsprechen.

Applications ferroviaires - Voie - Remorques et éléments associés - Partie 1: Prescriptions techniques pour la circulation et le travail

1 Scope
1.1 General
This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimize the specific railway hazards of
trailers and associated equipment, which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the
maintenance of trailers when carried out in accordance with the specification given by the manufacturer or his
authorized representative. This European Standards applies to trailers that are not intended to operate
signalling and control systems. Other similar machines are dealt with in other European Standards,
see Annex G.
Note Machines not intended for operating signalling and control systems are only permitted to run under special
conditions and within areas specifically designated by the infrastructure manager.
Part 1 of this European Standard deals with requirements for approval of the trailer by an authorized body,
part 2 deals with requirements for the trailer to be declared conformant by the manufacturer, except in the
case of trailers classified in Annex 4 of the Machinery Directive which require 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 trailers and associated equipment that in working configuration
are partly supported on the ballast or the formation.
Where two or more trailers are used together to transport loads in a fixed formation, e.g. where a metal
container is fixed to two small trailers, the whole system shall be treated as a trailer and comply with the
requirements of this European Standard.
This European Standard does not apply to the following:
 requirements for quality of the work or performance of the trailer;
 specific requirements established by the railway infrastructure operator for the use of trailers,
which will be the subject of negotiation between the manufacturer and the operator;
 separate machines temporarily mounted on the trailer.
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 etc.;
 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 environment, tropical environment, contaminating environments, strong magnetic
fields;
 hazards due to errors in software;
 hazards occurring when used to handle suspended loads which may swing freely.

NOTE The intended use of these trailers may have operational parameters specified by each infrastructure manager,
for example the maximum speed allowed for these trailers is likely to be limited by the infrastructure manager
– compliance with the clauses of this standard does not confer permission for trailers to travel at this speed.
These trailers will not be allowed on a track open to normal railway traffic.
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 trailers, which are ordered one year after the publication date by CEN of
this standard.
