Railway applications - Track - Road-rail machines and associated equipment - Part 2: General safety requirements
This European Standard applies to discs designed to be fitted to rail vehicles used on the main national networks, urban networks, underground railways, trams, private networks (regional railways, company railways, etc.).
This European Standard comprises a basic test of disc performance. The disc is tested for energy dissipation, power conversion and ventilation characteristics as well as mechanical integrity. The disc and pad interaction couple, which is used as a reference, are defined. The classification qualifies a brake disc with the defined brake pads by dynamometer tests for type validation by in-service experience for up to one year without additional tests in the defined application class. It does not give rules for the application and the brake performance in specific trains. For this purpose additional tests may be necessary.
The classes may give a recommendation for a preliminary selection of the required brake equipment to the vehicle designer.
Except for the frictional performances, the tests defined in this standard are type test according EN 14535 1 and EN 14535-2.

This European Standard deals with the common hazards during running, assembly and installation, commissioning, travelling on and off track, use including setting, programming, and process changeover, operation, cleaning, fault finding, maintenance and de-commissioning of the machines. NOTE 1 Specific measures for exceptional circumstances are not dealt with in this European Standard. They can be subject to negotiation between manufacturer and the machine operator. The common hazards dealt with include the general hazards presented by the machines, and also the hazards presented by the following specific machine functions: a) excavation; b) ballast tamping, ballast cleaning, ballast regulating, ballast consolidating; c) track renewal; d) rail grinding; e) craning; f) catenary renewal / maintenance; g) maintenance of the components of the infrastructure; h) inspection and measurement of the components of the infrastructure; i) tunnel inspection / ventilation; j) shunting; k) emergency rescue and recovery
during commissioning, use, maintenance and servicing. It is assumed that a finished standard automotive chassis used as a host for a road-rail machine will offer an acceptable safety level for its designed functions before conversion. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in a particular clause this specific aspect is not dealt with in this European Standard. NOTE 2 A manufacturer should carry out an appropriate risk assessment for the complete machine. Irrespective of whether a harmonised standard exists for the machine in road configuration, this should identify any additional hazards arising from the particular application of the chassis and the protective measures required to adequately deal with them. This European Standard does not deal with: l) requirements with regard to the quality of work and the performance of the machine; m) machines that utilise the catenary for traction purposes; n) specific requirements established by a railway infrastructure manager; SIST EN 15746-2:2010
1) extreme ambient temperatures (tropical or polar); 2) highly corrosive or contaminating environment, e.g. due to the presence of chemicals; 3) potentially explosive atmospheres. Other special vehicles used on railway tracks are dealt with in other European Standards, see Annex D. This European Standard applies to all machines that are ordered one year after the publication date by CEN of this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.

EN 15746-1:2010 and the following apply. 3.1 rail configuration state of the machine when it is in place on the track ready to work or travel along the track
NOTE Rail configuration does not include the transient state during getting on and off the track. 3.2 road configuration state of the machine when it is on the ground, i.e. not on the track NOTE It does not imply that the machine is suitable for use on the public highway. 3.3 working place driving cabs, working cabs, combined working and driving cabs, operators places situated outside cabs and places situated at control or maintenance locations 3.4 operating brake braking system to bring machine (and any permitted towed load) to stand in specified distance during normal operation and running of the machine 3.5 rated capacity indicator
RCI device which gives, within specified tolerance limits, at least a continuous indication that the rated capacity is exceeded, as shown in EN 12077-2 NOTE For rated capacity, see EN 12077-2. 4 List of significant hazards Table A.1 contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as far as they are dealt with in this European Standard, identified by risk assessment as significant for this type of machinery and which require action to eliminate or reduce the risk. 5 General safety requirements and/or measures 5.1 General Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 (all parts) for relevant but not significant hazards, which are not dealt with by this European Standard. This standard formulates general / common requirements for the machines and associated equipment in the scope of this standard, and arising due to the adaptation for their use on rail.
NOTE 1 As this standard is essentially restricted to specifying requirements related to adaptation for rail use and as a consequence relies on other standards, a manufacturer carries out a complete risk assessment to identify the specific hazards for the particular machine and the corresponding measures (including the measures additional to those of Clauses 5 and 6 that may be required). NOTE 2 Relevant standards road-rail machine functions are for example: for road earth moving machinery: series EN 474; for cranes: EN 13001-1; for cranes on trucks: EN 12999; for mobile cranes EN 13000; for mobile elevating work platforms: EN 280. Where there is a conflict between the requirements of this European Standard and the other above-mentioned European Standard(s), then this standard shall prevail.
When a choice is necessary for the application of type B standards referred to in this European Standard, e.g. EN 60204-1, EN 982, EN 983 the manufacturer shall carry out a risk assessment for making this choice. If the machine is constructed on the basis of a host vehicle this host vehicle shall comply with one of the following: the European Standard for machinery safety relevant for that host vehicle (as far as not explicitly required otherwise in specific clauses of this European Standard);
or this European Standard. It is assumed that a finished automotive chassis or a chassis complying with the same rules, used as a host for a road-rail machine will offer an acceptable safety level for its designed functions before conversion. Unless otherwise specified this specific aspect is not dealt with in this European Standard. NOTE 3 Where modifications are made to the original standard automotive chassis the manufacturer should carry out an appropriate risk assessment and consult the chassis manufacturer to establish any detrimental effects resulting from the proposed modifications on the whole machine. 5.2 Access and egress to and from working places 5.2.1 Cabs Except as shown below access and egress from all driving cabs, working cabs and combined working and driving cabs shall be from both sides of the machine or directly into the area between the rails of the working track. If it is not possible to comply with the above, and access is only available from one side of the machine then the instruction handbook shall detail the restriction of use, see 8.2.1, z). Signs, complying with the requirements of 8.3, shall be fixed at each egress point to warn personnel of the dangers from passing traffic. SIST EN 15746-2:2010
