This European Standard does not apply to the additional hazards that may exist due to:
- the coupling together of trolleys;
- the towing or pushing of trolleys by other vehicles;
- the use of trolleys for the transportation of persons;
- self propelled rail wheeled machines, trolleys coupled to another towing vehicle;
- hazards due to laser systems.
Other special vehicles used on railway tracks are dealt with in other European Standards, see Annex H.
This European Standard 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 European Standard establishes the additional requirements for electromagnetic compatibility due to e.g. electronic components as well as for hazards due to vibration.
This European Standard does not establish the additional requirements for the following:

Ta evropski standard obravnava tehnične zahteve za zmanjševanje velikih nevarnosti, značilnih za železnice, pri prenosnih strojih in lahki tirni mehanizaciji, ki se uporablja na zgornjem ustroju, kot je navedeno v točki 4, do katerih lahko pride med zagonom, obratovanjem in vzdrževanjem prenosnih strojev in lahke tirne mehanizacije, kadar se uporabljajo v skladu z namembnostjo in pod pogoji, kot jih je predvidel proizvajalec. Ne obravnava delovanja strojev, npr. rezanja, vrtanja, brušenja. Ta evropski standard velja za prenosne stroje in lahko tirno mehanizacijo z železniškimi kolesi ali valji, ki delujejo, medtem ko so na tirih z nazivnimi tirnimi širinami 1435 mm in 1668 mm ter obtirnim profilom, kot je opredeljen v dodatku B1, vključno s stroji za npr. rezanje in vrtanje. Druga posebna vozila, ki se uporabljajo na železniških tirnicah, obravnavajo drugi evropski standardi, glej dodatek H.

For the application of type B standards EN 60204-1, EN 982, EN 983 and EN ISO 7731, the manufacturer shall carry out a risk assessment where choice is necessary. This specific risk assessment is part of the general risk assessment relating to the hazards not covered by the present document.
5.2 Handling devices 5.2.1 Handles used for handling and/or control Portable machines and trolleys shall be ergonomically designed according to the requirements of EN 614-1 and EN 614-2 so that they are able to be lifted. Where practicable this shall be by manual handling. Where fitted handles used for handling and/or control shall be sufficient for the weight of the portable machine or trolley and allow removal of the portable machine or trolley from the track. Handles for lifting are to be positioned to ensure reasonable sharing of the weight. The weight permitted per person shall not exceed 20 kg when the load is shared by more than one person or 25 kg for a single person lift. Handles for control shall be ergonomically designed and located at a reasonable height for the operating position. SIST EN 13977:2011

They shall be designed not to cause: reduction of the stability of the track; damage to the infrastructure. 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 less than 750 V DC. In order to avoid inadvertent operation or damage to 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 inadvertent operation or damage to track circuits, flexible pipes shall not be covered by metallic protection. 5.7 Electromagnetic compatibility 5.7.1 Emissions from portable machines and trolleys Portable machines and trolleys shall meet the requirements of EN 13309 or EN 50121-3-1:2006, Clause 6. Any electrical component that is added to a machine that has already been tested and a certificate of emissions provided shall either be assessed as an additional component for its potential to affect railway signals, or the whole machine shall be reassessed. 5.7.2 Immunity of portable machines and trolleys from railway environment Manufacturers shall assess the component parts of portable machines and trolleys for their susceptibility and immunity to electro-magnetic induced currents. Each electrical or electronic circuit box shall be assessed for the effect they would have if the currents were induced. Any electrical or electronic circuit which the manufacturer considers vulnerable to electro-magnetic compatibility shall comply with the requirements according to EN 50121-3-2:2006, Clause 8, Tables 7, 8 and 9, or equivalent. SIST EN 13977:2011
When a portable machine or trolley is not permitted for use with an adjacent line open to traffic, this shall be stated in the instruction handbook, see 7.2. 5.11 Warning devices Warning equipment if fitted to portable machines or trolleys shall be designed and manufactured according to EN ISO 7731 and be clearly distinguishable from other railway specific signals and audible above the peak sound pressure level as measured in Annex G. 5.12 Isolation from external electrical voltages 5.12.1 Operating track circuits Portable machines and trolleys having contact with both rails (rollers, clamps, etc.), or on the same line of rail shall always have an electrical resistance between the points of contact of ≥ 1 MΩ. The resistance measurement shall be taken under a 500 V DC tension. 5.12.2 Catenaries Portable machines and trolleys in working configuration for use under live catenary shall not have parts above rail level greater than that shown in EN 15746-1:2010, Table A.1, line 9. 5.13 Lighting The portable machine or trolley lighting shall be sufficient to permit the intended task to be carried out correctly and safely and shall ensure a luminance level of at least 50 lx and meet the requirements of EN 1837. Dazzling of, e.g. train drivers or workers on the site, shall be prevented by appropriate measures. The position of the lights shall not cause confusion with railway signalling. 5.14 Prevention of emission of pollutants Effective measures shall be taken to prevent or reduce leakage or development of dust, smoke, steam gas and other particles. Wherever practicable, portable machines or trolleys shall use biodegradable lubricants. SIST EN 13977:2011
NOTE EN ISO 11688-2:2000 gives further information on noise generation mechanisms in machinery. The major sound sources of portable machines and trolleys for construction and maintenance are: the power generation and transmission equipment; the tools working on the rails, fastening systems, sleepers or ballast; the cooling system (if fitted). Established measures for noise reduction are: capsulated power generation and transmission equipment, capsulated cooling system; exhaust mufflers; silencers for tools. 5.20 Vibration 5.20.1 Whole body vibration (WBV) 5.20.1.1 Measurement and degree of uncertainty of WBV Manufacturers shall either state the highest rms value of weighted acceleration to which the whole body is subjected to by the machine, if it exceeds 0,5 m/s2 or state that it is less than 0,5 m/s2 when this is correct. The manufacturer shall also state the degree of uncertainty of each vibration measurement. The degree of uncertainty can either be determined by compliance with the recommendation given in EN 12096:1997, Annex D or through an analysis of test methods and measurements where the production run is sufficiently large to give measurements from at least 10 machines. 5.20.1.2 WBV measurement Measurements shall be taken at locations where personnel can either stand or sit. For standing locations the measurement shall be taken on the floor and for seated locations the measurement shall be taken on the seat cushion, there is no requirement for measurements on the seat back support. Measurements shall be made using tri-axial accelerometers, in accordance with the requirements of EN 1032. Only the largest of the three readings needs to be used in the assessment process.
