This document does not apply to the following:  requirements for quality of the work or performance of the machine;  regulations defined by each infrastructure controller for portable machine and trolley operation which shall be the subject of negotiation between the user and the manufacturer;  portable machines used from railway vehicles. This document does not establish the additional requirements for the following:  operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme environmental conditions such as: freezing applications, high temperatures, corrosive environment, tropical environment, contaminating environments, strong magnetic fields);  operation subject to special rules as potentially explosive atmospheres;  electromagnetic compatibility, due to e.g. electronic components;  hazards occurring during decommissioning and/or recycling;  hazards due to vibration;  hazards due to wind speed greater than 35 m/s;  hazards due to natural causes e.g. earthquake, lightning, flooding etc.  noise. NOTE Noise of machines which are dealt with by this document is regarded as a significant hazard. Noiseis not covered by this document but will be dealt with in an Amendment to the first edition of this standard. This Amendment will give:  clauses dealing with noise emission according to EN 1746.  a noise test code using as a basis for preparation the designation of noise-emission according to the requirements of the Machinery-Directive

20 mm and 30 mm and the grip opening shall have a minimum length of 250 mm and a minimum width of 50 mm. The handles shall be positioned so that they are inside the vertical limits of the gauge indicated in annex B with the operator in the work position intended by the manufacturer (see 7.4.10). When such handles are also used for control purposes they shall, when used for handling, be in the stop position. If more than one person is recommended for putting the machine or trolley on or off the track the number of people necessary shall be indicated on the portable machine or trolley as appropriate (see 7.6). 5.2.2 Additional handle, lifting points and securing points If the portable machine or portable trolley weighs more than 25 kg, or it is not designed to be lifted by one person, then an additional handle and a lifting point shall be provided suitable for the weight, for maintaining the equilibrium of the machine and for preventing spillage of liquids (e.g. fuel, lubricants). For transport in vehicles points to secure the machine shall be provided. 5.3 Wheels and rollers The wheels and rollers used for moving and guidance of machines or trolleys on rail(s) shall:  be arranged and in sufficient numbers to ensure the stability of the machine on the track (see 5.15);  be shaped and of the correct width to ensure good guidance on the rails and to take account of gauges between 1 430 mm and 1 470 mm with a 1 435 mm nominal gauge, and gauges 1 665 mm and 1 698 mm with a 1 668 mm nominal gauge;  not damage the electrical connections to the rails (see annex G);  not damage signalling equipment (see annex G);  allow the free running on rail through switches and crossings, level crossings and other installations. Where this is not achievable the handbook (see 7.2) shall make an indication of this limitation.

5.5 Clamping and/or supporting devices If portable machines and trolleys are fitted with clamping and/or supporting devices they shall:  be able to resist vibrations and forces generated by the work of the machine. They shall not cause:  permanent deformation of these devices;  reduction of the stability of the track;  damage to the rails, sleepers, or track fastenings. 5.6 Power generation and transmission equipment 5.6.1 Electrical equipment Electrical equipment and the degree of electrical protection shall meet the requirements of EN 60204-1. Portable machines shall use voltages less than 500 V AC or 750 V DC. In order to avoid shorting track circuits, any flexible cables shall not have external metallic covering. 5.6.2 Hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical power transmission If a portable machine is fed by exterior hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical power transmission, risks according to EN 982 and EN 983 shall be taken into consideration. In order to avoid shorting of track circuits, the flexible pipes shall not be covered by metallic protection.

> 1,25. If portable machines are equipped with stands, these shall be adapted to the size, mass and use of the machine in order that its stability is assured. 5.16 Conformance to gauge The reference gauge given in annex B is the UIC gauge. For infrastructures with different gauges the corresponding applicable gauge shall be used. When moving or rotating about their vertical axis, portable machines equipped with running gear and trolleys the design shall ensure conformance to the envelope defined in annex B consisting of:  UIC 505-1 gauge (position 1);  the upper horizontal limit (position 2);  low gauge contour (position 3). Conformance to the above shall take into account all cumulative wear on all components of the machine or of the trolley. In all cases guards, either movable or fixed, shall not exceed the gauge as defined in annex B with the exception of the low contour (position 3). If there is a need to leave a machine on a line open to traffic, then the machine design shall be such that it is contained below the “low” contours of the running gauge of position 3. Where a machine or trolley design necessitates exceedance of the clearance gauge as defined in annex B there shall be an indication in the instruction handbook indicating the need to apply further railway specific operational measures. 5.17 Time for off-tracking Portable machines and trolleys, which are used on tracks open to traffic and which present an obstruction to the passage of trains shall be designed in such a way that the time necessary for off-tracking is the shortest possible but shall not exceed 15 s.

only authorised personnel shall start, operate or interfere with the normal working of the equipment;  specification of any personal protective equipment needed for the operation of the equipment and the hazards which it is designed to protect against;  stopping modes, in particular means of operation of normal and emergency-stopping devices shall be made known to all appropriate personnel. Areas giving access to them shall be kept clear of obstacles. Their proper working shall be periodically checked;  cleaning requirements;  if an emergency switch is fitted it shall not be used for normal stopping;  all restarting operations on equipment which has been inoperative because of an emergency or accidental stoppage shall be preceded by an inspection aiming at:  determining the cause of the emergency or accidental stoppage;  repairing the fault;  details of a restarting procedure to be followed after an emergency or accidental stoppage;  the user shall be careful to use the machine in the normal way avoiding over-loading;  the user shall not modify the design or configuration of the equipment without consulting the manufacturer. !The instruction handbook shall include the noise emission declaration according to Annex J." 7.4.2 Restriction of use The instruction handbook shall indicate the restrictions of use of the portable machine or trolley according to the requirements of this document e.g. • if the machine cannot negotiate switches, crossings, level crossings and other installations; • if special conditions apply when the machine is working in track circuited areas; • if special conditions apply in the presence of live conductor rails (see 7.4.3); • cannot be immobilised on gradient steeper than 40 ‰ and therefore special measurements shall be fixed by the infrastructure controller. 7.4.3 Use in the vicinity of conductor rails The instruction handbook shall clearly indicate that the portable machine or trolley can only be used on a live conductor rail system with the approval of the infrastructure controller. In this case the manual shall give the following information:  distances between the portable machine or trolley and the conductor rails;  where the machine is powered by an external supply (e.g. electric, hydraulic, pneumatic), information on the safety measures to be met;

inspection, adjustment, maintenance and cleaning of moving parts and safety devices shall be carried out regularly in a safe manner according to the manufacturer's instructions;  inspection and adjustment in motion shall only be carried out with guards in position;  maintenance of safeguards, safety signs, information signs and lighting. 7.4.13 Instructions for training Where the training of the machine operator has been deemed necessary a programme of this training shall be included in the instruction handbook.
