Railway applications - Track - Trailers and associated equipment - Part 2: General safety requirements

This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, common to trailers, as defined in the scope of prEN xxxyy-1:2009, intended for construction, maintenance and/or inspection of the railway infrastructure, emergency rescue and recovery, when they are used as intended by the manufacturer, see clause 4. The manufacturer shall give warning of the risks concerning the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable.
This European Standard deals with the common hazards during transport, assembly and installation, commissioning, running on track, use (including setting, programming, and process changeover), operation, cleaning, fault finding, maintenance and de-commissioning of the trailers.
NOTE   Specific measures for exceptional circumstances are not dealt with in this European Standard. They can be subject of negotiation between manufacturer and the operator.
The common hazards dealt with include the general hazards presented by the trailers, and also the hazards presented by the following specific trailer functions:
-   track renewal;
-   rail maintenance;
-   craning;
-   catenary renewal / maintenance;
-   maintenance of the components of the infrastructure;
-   inspection and measurement of the components of the infrastructure;
-   tunnel inspection / ventilation;
   emergency rescue and recovery
during commissioning, use, maintenance and servicing.
This European Standard 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 D.
It is assumed that a finished standard automotive chassis used as a host for a road-rail trailer will offer an acceptable safety level for its designed functions before conversion. This specific aspect is not dealt with in this European Standard.

Introduction
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The trailers concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this European Standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for trailers that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.

1 Scope
This European Standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, common to
trailers, as defined in the scope of prEN xxxyy-1:2009, intended for construction, maintenance and/or
inspection of the railway infrastructure, emergency rescue and recovery, when they are used as intended by
the manufacturer, see clause 4. The manufacturer shall give warning of the risks concerning the conditions of
misuse which are reasonably foreseeable.
This European Standard deals with the common hazards during transport, assembly and installation,
commissioning, running on track, use (including setting, programming, and process changeover), operation,
cleaning, fault finding, maintenance and de-commissioning of the trailers.
NOTE Specific measures for exceptional circumstances are not dealt with in this European Standard. They can be
subject of negotiation between manufacturer and the operator.
The common hazards dealt with include the general hazards presented by the trailers, and also the hazards
presented by the following specific trailer functions:
 track renewal;
 rail maintenance;
 craning;
 catenary renewal / maintenance;
 maintenance of the components of the infrastructure;
 inspection and measurement of the components of the infrastructure;
 tunnel inspection / ventilation;
 emergency rescue and recovery
during commissioning, use, maintenance and servicing.

This European Standard 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 D.

It is assumed that a finished standard automotive chassis used as a host for a road-rail trailer will offer an
acceptable safety level for its designed functions before conversion. This specific aspect is not dealt with in
this European Standard.
This European Standard does not deal with:
 requirements with regard to the quality of work and the performance of trailers;
 specific requirements established by a railway infrastructure manager;
 negotiations between the manufacturer and the trailer operator for additional or alternative requirements;

 requirements for use and running of the trailer on public highway;
 hazards due to air pressure caused by the passing of high-speed trains at more than 190 km/h;
 requirements which could be necessary in case of use in extreme conditions, such as:
 extreme ambient temperatures (tropical or polar);
 highly corrosive or contaminating environment, e.g. due to the presence of chemicals;
 potentially explosive atmospheres.
This European Standard applies to all trailers that are ordered one year after the publication date by CEN of
this standard.
