Railway applications - Track - Railbound construction and maintenance machines - Part 2: Technical requirements for working
1.1 General
This European Standard defines the specific technical railway requirements for working with machines and other vehicles used for construction, maintenance and inspection of track, structures, track formation and fixed electric traction equipment as specified in EN 14033-1.
This European Standard applies to all railbound machines and other vehicles - referred to as machines - working exclusively on the railway (utilising adhesion between the rail and rail wheels) and used for construction, maintenance and inspection of track, structures, infrastructure and fixed electric traction equipment.
This European Standard applies to machines that are intended to operate signalling and control systems. Other similar machines are dealt with in other European Standards, see Annex M.
Additional requirements can apply for working on infrastructures with narrow gauge or broad gauge lines, lines of tramways, railways utilising other than adhesion between the rail and rail wheels and underground infrastructures.
This European Standard is applicable to 1 435 mm nominal track gauge. Some requirements may be applicable for working on infrastructures with nominal narrow track gauge or nominal broad track gauge lines, lines of tramways, railways utilising other than adhesion between the rail and rail wheels and underground infrastructures.
This European Standard covers the safety requirements for the railway specific problems for working on different infrastructures. The application of these requirements is the object of a verification procedure, which does not form part of this European Standard, but an Annex J is included for information. In all cases an authorisation to work is required to access the infrastructure.
This European Standard is also applicable for machines that in working position are partly supported on the ballast or the formation.
This European Standard does not apply to

The values above allow for safety in particular conditions, e.g. heavy rail use, joints with big gaps, non standard sleeper spacing, residual stresses in the rails. 5.1.3 Auxiliary wheels, auxiliary guides and working parts The wheels and guides referred to in this clause are for the support and guidance of assemblies associated with the operation of the machine and not for running. The construction and positioning of any auxiliary wheels and/or guides shall provide satisfactory guidance on rails and shall not cause damage to the rail or any associated part of the railway infrastructure. The devices for the vertical and lateral positioning of the rails not placed on sleepers, e.g. guiding rollers, rail hooks, shall be designed in order to prevent dangerous movements of rail in case of fracture of the rails or fishplates. Any additional supporting elements necessary to ensure stability or assist the work process shall also comply with the above requirements. 5.1.4 Maximum wheel loads 5.1.4.1 General The wheels referred to in this clause are the wheels used for the running of the machine as specified in EN 14033-1.
