Railway applications - Track - Road-rail machines and associated equipment - Part 1: Technical requirements for travelling and working
1.1 General
This document 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 document is also applicable for machines and associated equipment that in working configuration are partly supported on the ballast or the formation. Such machines are capable of independent self-propelled movement on the ground.
This document 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;
- moving 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 document are amended and added to by the requirements in EN 15746 4 for machines designed and intended to use urban rail.
This document 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 F.
1.2 Validity of this document
This document applies to all machines which are ordered one year after the publication date by CEN of this document.
Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Zweiwege-Maschinen und zugehörige Ausrüstungen - Teil 1: Technische Anforderungen an die Versetzfahrt und den Arbeitseinsatz
1.1 Allgemeines
Dieses Dokument behandelt die technischen Anforderungen zur Minimierung eisenbahnspezifischer Gefährdungen von selbstangetriebenen Zweiwege Maschinen – im Folgenden als Maschinen bezeichnet – und ihrer zugehörigen Ausrüstungen, die bei der Inbetriebnahme, im Betrieb und bei der Instandhaltung auftreten können, wenn sie den Anweisungen des Herstellers oder seines autorisierten Vertreters entsprechend erfolgen.
Diese Risiken sind in der Regel unabhängig von der Spurweite. Allerdings können zusätzliche Anforderungen für Versetzfahrten und den Arbeitseinsatz auf Schmalspur- oder Breitspurstrecken, auf Bahnen, die andere Kräfte als die Adhäsion zwischen Rad und Schiene nutzen und U-Bahn-Infrastrukturen verwenden, gelten.
Dieses Dokument ist auch anzuwenden für Maschinen und ihrer zugehörigen Ausrüstungen, die sich bei ihrem Arbeitseinsatz zum Teil auf dem Schotter oder dem Planum abstützen. Solche Maschinen sind in der Lage, selbständige selbstfahrende Bewegungen auf dem Planum/Erdreich durchzuführen.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anzuwenden 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 Infrastrukturbetreiber unterliegen;
- Fahren und Arbeiten auf anderen Untergründen als auf Schienen;
- gesonderte Maschinen/Geräte/Anlagen, die vorübergehend an Maschinen und zugehörige Ausrüstungen angebaut sind;
- ausgleisbare Maschinen nach 3.2;
- Anhänger nach 3.3, einschließlich Zweiwege Anhänger.
Fahrzeuge, die nicht selbst über eine Schienenführung, aber über schienengeführte Zusatzteile verfügen, sind keine Zweiwege Maschinen.
Die Anforderungen in diesem Dokument werden durch die Anforderungen an Maschinen, die für den Einsatz auf Schienennahverkehrssystemen bestimmt sind, in EN 15746 4 geändert und ergänzt.
Dieses Dokument 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.
Für die Umrüstung in eine Zweiwege Maschine wird davon ausgegangen, dass ein EU Straßen zugelassenes Basisfahrzeug ein akzeptiertes Sicherheitsniveau für seine vorgesehenen Grundfunktionen bietet. Sofern in einem bestimmten Abschnitt nicht ausdrücklich etwas anderes 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 F.
1.2 Gültigkeit dieses Dokuments
Dieses Dokument ist für alle Maschinen anzuwenden, die ein Jahr nach dem Veröffentlichungsdatum bei CEN dieses Dokuments bestellt werden.
Applications ferroviaires - Voie - Machines rail-route et équipements associés - Partie 1 : Exigences techniques pour le déplacement et le travail
1.1 Généralités
Le présent document traite des exigences techniques visant à réduire le plus possible les dangers ferroviaires spécifiques aux machines rail-route automotrices (désignées ci-après les « machines ») et aux 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 supplémentaires peuvent s'appliquer pour le déplacement et le travail sur les infrastructures ferroviaires à voies larges ou étroites, sur les chemins de fer autres que ceux à adhérence rail/roue et sur les infrastructures souterraines.
Le présent document 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. Ces machines sont capables d'accomplir des mouvements automoteurs indépendants sur la plate-forme.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas :
— aux exigences relatives à la qualité du travail et aux performances de la machine ;
— aux exigences spécifiques établies par l'opérateur de la machine en ce qui concerne l'emploi des machines et qui font l'objet de négociations entre le fabricant et le gestionnaire d'infrastructure ;
— aux modes travail et déplacement lorsque la machine n’est pas sur la voie ferrée ;
— aux machines distinctes montées provisoirement sur des machines ou équipements associés ;
— aux machines déraillables définies en 3.2 ;
— aux remorques définies en 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 des machines rail-route.
Les prescriptions du présent document sont amendées et complétées par les prescriptions de l’EN 15746 4 pour les machines conçues et destinées à emprunter les réseaux ferroviaires urbains.
Le présent document n'entend pas non plus définir les exigences supplémentaires suivantes :
— mise en œuvre de la machine dans des conditions soumises à des règles particulières (par exemple, atmosphères potentiellement explosives) ;
— dangers dus à des causes naturelles (tremblement de terre, foudre, inondation, etc.) ;
— méthodes de travail ;
— exploitation de la machine dans des conditions de travail rigoureuses nécessitant des mesures particulières (en tunnels ou en tranchées, par exemple) ou dans des conditions d'environnement extrêmes (températures très froides ou très élevées, environnements corrosifs, tropicaux ou contaminants, forts champs magnétiques) ;
— dangers dus aux erreurs de logiciels ;
— dangers dus aux mouvements de charges librement suspendues susceptibles de se balancer.
Pour une machine rail-route, il est supposé qu'un véhicule-hôte autorisé à circuler sur le réseau routier 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.
Les autres machines de construction et de maintenance de la voie empruntant également les voies ferrées sont couvertes par d'autres Normes européennes (voir Annexe F).
1.2 Validité du présent document
Le présent document s'applique à toutes les machines commandées un an ou plus après la date de publication CEN du présent document.

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 travelling and working modes, and is
applicable for all machines.
— Part 2 covers the safety requirements for the machines in travelling and working modes; this is a
document harmonized 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 document harmonized 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 running, travelling and/or working mode 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 manager of the network or National rules the assessment of conformance could be by
the Urban Rail Manager 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 document 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 document is also applicable for machines and associated equipment that in working configuration
are partly supported on the ballast or the formation. Such machines are capable of independent self-
propelled movement on the ground.
This document 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;
— moving 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 document are amended and added to by the requirements in EN 15746-4
for machines designed and intended to use urban rail.
This document 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 F.
1.2 Validity of this document
This document applies to all machines which are ordered one year after the publication date by CEN of

3.1
road-rail machine
self-propelled machine that can move on rails and ground
Note 1 to entry It is normally a road vehicle adapted for moving on rail also, but can be a specially designed rail
vehicle for moving on the ground also.
Note 2 to entry It does not imply that the machine is suitable for use on the public road.
3.2
demountable machine
machine that can travel and work only on rail and which is not intended to operate track signalling and
control systems, but is not able to travel on the ground
Note 1 to entry Such a machine is designed to get on and off track by its own means or with other lifting
equipment. In the case of demounting by its own means these are not intended for operating on the ground.
Note 2 to entry Such a machine is permitted to work on the railway only under special operating conditions
granted by the Infrastructure Manager and travel under special conditions granted by the authorized body and/or
the Infrastructure Manager.
3.3
trailer
non-self-propelled machine that can be hauled on rail wheels
Note 1 to entry: Trailers are not intended to operate track signalling and control systems and are not designed
to be transported between work areas on their rail wheels.
3.4
mobile elevating work platform
MEWP
mobile machine intended to move persons to working positions where they carry out work from the
work platform with the intention that persons get on and off the work platform at one defined access
position, and which consists as a minimum of a work platform with controls, an extending structure and
a chassis
3.5
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
3.6
host vehicle
basic road vehicle or machine which is converted to operate additionally on rails; this vehicle is either
EU road permissible or CE marked
3.7
manufacturer
body that designs and constructs a road-rail machine, or converts the original machine/vehicle to a
road-rail machine
3.8
running mode
machine configuration that allows movement along the track, all parts stowed and locked with
everything within the applicable gauge, whilst 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.
3.9
travelling mode
machine configuration that allows movement along the track, all parts stowed with everything within
the applicable gauge, whilst 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), and which as a 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.
3.10
working mode
mode by which the machine is used to perform any of its permitted design tasks, as soon as any part of
the machine is un-stowed it is in working mode
3.11
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
3.12
on and off tracking mode
mode of the machine when it is in a state that enables it to be on or off tracked
3.13
running
moving the machine in running mode along the track
3.14
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)
3.15
working track
track not open for normal traffic
3.16
degraded working track
track being maintained for which the geometrical parameters may reach the limiting values and for
which special operational restrictions may apply
Note 1 to entry: The limiting values as specified in EN 14033-2:2017, Annex F.
3.17
railway infrastructure
all installations required for the running of railway vehicles
EXAMPLE Tracks, level crossings, overhead contact line systems, signals.
3.18
machine operator
private or public undertaking which operates machines for the construction and maintenance of the
infrastructure
3.19
operator
person who handles the controls of a machine in order to perform the functions of the machine
3.20
driver
person who handles the controls of a machine in order to control the machine when moving along the
track
Note 1 to entry: The driver and operator can be the same.
3.21
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 and category 9 machines with a running mode.
Note 2 to entry: This does not exclude Category 9 machines from shunting conventional rail vehicles, where
permitted by the Infrastructure Manager
3.22
special train
assembly of vehicles/machines attached by couplings to a Category 9 machine, and conforming to the
relevant requirements of the Infrastructure Manager
3.23
rail level
datum point corresponding to the top of the rail
Note 1 to entry: Further guidance shown in Figure 5.
3.24
rated load
load that the lifting equipment has been designed for normal operation and the manufacturer states can
be lifted in any specified position
3.25
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
3.26
type testing
examination of the first machine, of a new type, for build conformity to the requirements of this
standard
3.27
