Railway applications - Track - Road-rail machines and associated equipment - Part 1: Technical requirements for running and working
1.1 General
This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimize the specific railway hazards of self propelled road-rail machines - henceforward referred to as machines - and associated equipment, which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of machines when carried out in accordance with the specification given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative.
Part 1 of EN 15746 defines requirements for approval of the machine by an authorised body; 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 require a conformity check in conjunction with a notified body.
Additional requirements can apply for running on infrastructures with narrow gauge or broad gauge lines, lines of tramways, railways utilizing other than adhesion between the rail and rail wheels and underground infrastructures.
This European Standard is also applicable for machines and associated equipment that in working configuration are partly supported on the ballast or the formation.
This European Standard does not apply to the following:
- the requirements for quality of the work or performance of the machine;
- the specific requirements established by the machine operator for the use of machines, which will be the subject of negotiation between the manufacturer and the infrastructure manager;
- running and working whilst not on rails;
- separate machines temporarily mounted on machines and associated equipment;
- demountable machines as defined in 3.2;
- trailers as defined in 3.3, including road-rail trailers.
This European Standard does not establish the additional requirements for the following:
- operation subject to special rules, e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres;
- hazards due to natural causes, e.g. earthquake, lightning, flooding;
- working methods;
- operation in severe working conditions requiring special measures, e.g. work in tunnels or in cuttings, extreme environmental conditions such as: freezing temperatures, high temperatures, corrosive environments, tropical environments, contaminating environments, strong magnetic fields;
- hazards due to errors in software;
- hazards occurring when used to handle suspended loads which may swing freely.
Other track construction and maintenance machines used on railway tracks are dealt with in other European Standards, see Annex G.
1.2 Validity of this European Standard
This European Standard applies to all machines which are ordered one year after the publication date by CEN of this European Standard.

3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100-1:2003 and the following apply. 3.1 road-rail machine self propelled machine that can run on rails and ground NOTE 1 It is normally a road vehicle adapted for running on rail also, but can be a specially designed rail vehicle for running on the ground also.
NOTE 2 It does not imply that the machine is suitable for use on the public road. 3.2 demountable machine machine that can run and work on rail and which is not intended to operate track signalling and control systems NOTE 1 Such a machine is designed to get on and off track by its own means or with other lifting equipment. In the case of demounting by its own means these are not intended for running on the ground. NOTE 2 Such a machine is permitted to work on the railway only under special operating conditions granted by the infrastructure manager and run under special conditions granted by the authorised body and/or the infrastructure manager. 3.3 trailer non-self propelled machine that can be hauled on rail wheels

NOTE The driver and operator can be the same. 3.20 train self-propelled machine or assembly of vehicles/machines attached by couplings conforming to the relevant regulations of the authorised body and/or infrastructure manager NOTE 1 This is only relevant to Category 8 machines. NOTE 2 This does not exclude Category 9 machines from shunting conventional rail vehicles, where permitted by the infrastructure manager. 3.21 special train assembly of vehicles/machines attached by couplings to a Category 9 machine, and conforming to the relevant requirements of the infrastructure manager 3.22 rated load load that the lifting equipment has been designed for normal operation and the manufacturer states can be lifted in any specified position 3.23 authorised body body in a state that, in accordance with the laws and prescriptions in force in that state, is competent to approve rail vehicles for the use in public rail traffic 3.24 type testing examination of the first machine, of a new type, for build conformity to the requirements of this standard SIST EN 15746-1:2011+A1:2012
Category 9 B See 4.1.4 Braking and traction on road wheels, load shared between road and rail wheels.
Category 9 C See 4.1.5 Category 8 machines are designed to operate track signalling and control systems. Category 9 machines in general are not required to operate track signalling and control systems and are only permitted to run and work on the railway under special restrictions defined by the infrastructure manager. Category 9 machines designed to operate track signalling and control systems are permitted to be approved by the authorised body for being used on the national network.
4.1.2 Example of Category 8 machine Capable of incorporation into train. It is permitted to restrict the position of the machine in the train to the front or rear only if required. SIST EN 15746-1:2011+A1:2012

All such moveable parts and assemblies forming part of the machine that are unpacked in order to allow the machine to work in rail and non-rail configuration shall, in their stowed state, be secured by devices capable of resisting the foreseeable forces encountered during running, which shall not rely upon a power source to retain the locking function. Moveable parts shall be held by either: efficient locks The visible positive locking components in running configuration shall be painted in red. If the locking mechanism is powered, the control of locking should preferably be possible from inside the machine gauge; or check valves on hydraulic systems, which sha
