Railway applications - Track - Road-rail machines and associated equipment - Part 2: General safety requirements
This document specifies the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, common to self-propelled road-rail machines - henceforward referred to as machines - and associated equipment, arising due to the adaptation for their use on railway networks and urban rail networks. These machines are intended for construction, maintenance and inspection of the railway infrastructure, shunting and emergency rescue vehicles, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer; see Clause 4.
This document deals with the common hazards during 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 Specific measures for exceptional circumstances are not dealt with in this document. 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, also the hazards presented by the following specific machine functions:
a) excavation;
b) ballast tamping, ballast cleaning, ballast regulating, ballast consolidating;
c) track construction, renewal, maintenance and repair;
d) lifting;
e) overhead contact line system renewal / maintenance;
f) maintenance of the components of the infrastructure;
g) inspection and measurement of the components of the infrastructure;
h) working in tunnels;
i) shunting;
j) vegetation control;
k) emergency rescue and recovery;
during commissioning, use, maintenance and servicing.
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 document.
This document does not deal with:
1) requirements with regard to the quality of work and the performance of the machine;
2) machines that utilize the contact line system for traction purposes;
3) specific requirements established by a railway Infrastructure Manager or Urban Rail Manager;
4) negotiations between the manufacturer and the machine operator for additional or alternative requirements;
5) requirements for use and travel of the machine on public highway;
6) hazards due to air pressure caused by the passing of high-speed trains at more than 190 km/h;
7) requirements which could be necessary in case of use in extreme conditions, such as extreme ambient temperatures (tropical or polar); see 5.30;
8) highly corrosive or contaminating environment, e.g. due to the presence of chemicals;
9) potentially explosive atmospheres.

Introduction
This document is the second 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 travelling and working modes 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 requires 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 Urban Rail Manager 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.
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010. This document is of relevance, in
particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market players with regard to
machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.)
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate in the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
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
machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
As far as possible this document sets out only the requirements that materials and equipment need to
meet in the interest of safety, and it is assumed that persons operating machines are adequately trained.
1 Scope
This document specifies the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, common to self-
propelled road-rail machines – henceforward referred to as machines – and associated equipment,
arising due to the adaptation for their use on railway networks and urban rail networks. These
machines are intended for construction, maintenance and inspection of the railway infrastructure,
shunting and emergency rescue vehicles, when they are used as intended and under conditions of
misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer; see Clause 4.
This document deals with the common hazards during 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 Specific measures for exceptional circumstances are not dealt with in this document. 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, also the
hazards presented by the following specific machine functions:
a) excavation;
b) ballast tamping, ballast cleaning, ballast regulating, ballast consolidating;
c) track construction, renewal, maintenance and repair;
d) lifting;
e) overhead contact line system renewal / maintenance;
f) maintenance of the components of the infrastructure;
g) inspection and measurement of the components of the infrastructure;
h) working in tunnels;
i) shunting;
j) vegetation control;
k) emergency rescue and recovery;
during commissioning, use, maintenance and servicing.
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 document.
This document does not deal with:
1) requirements with regard to the quality of work and the performance of the machine;
2) machines that utilize the contact line system for traction purposes;
3) specific requirements established by a railway Infrastructure Manager or Urban Rail Manager;
4) negotiations between the manufacturer and the machine operator for additional or alternative
requirements;
5) requirements for use and travel of the machine on public highway;
6) hazards due to air pressure caused by the passing of high-speed trains at more than 190 km/h;
7) requirements which could be necessary in case of use in extreme conditions, such as extreme
ambient temperatures (tropical or polar); see 5.30;
8) highly corrosive or contaminating environment, e.g. due to the presence of chemicals;
9) potentially explosive atmospheres.
Other special machines used on railway tracks are dealt with in other European Standards, see Annex E.
