(Main)Railway applications - Infrastructure - Demountable machines, trailers and associated equipment - Part 2: General safety requirements
Railway applications - Infrastructure - Demountable machines, trailers and associated equipment - Part 2: General safety requirements
This document specifies the general safety requirements for demountable machines and trailers, including road-rail trailers - henceforward referred to as ‘machines, for use when travelling and working on railway track.
NOTE Trailers, including road-rail trailers, are considered as machines because they are moved along the track by powered machines.
This document specifies the requirements to deal with the common hazards presented by their use on the railway during transport, assembly and installation, commissioning, travelling and working on track, use including setting, programming, and process changeover, operation, cleaning, fault finding, maintenance and de-commissioning of the machines and associated equipment when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable.
These machines will not run on railway lines open to normal traffic.
NOTE Other rail mounted railway maintenance and infrastructure inspection machines are dealt with in other European standards, see Technical Report CEN/TR 17498:2020.
This document is also applicable to machines and associated equipment that in working mode are partly supported on the ballast or the formation.
The requirements in this document are based on the assumption that the machines are used, operated and maintained by skilled person(s).
This document does not apply to the following:
- requirements for quality of the work or performance of the machine;
- use of separate equipment temporarily mounted on machines;
- machines that utilize external power supplies such as the overhead contact line system for traction purposes or as a power source;
- hazards due to air pressure caused by the passing of high-speed trains at more than 200 km/h;
- 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. corrosive environments, contaminating environments, strong magnetic fields;
- hazards occurring when used to handle suspended loads which may swing freely.
Bahnanwendungen - Infrastruktur - Ausgleisbare Maschinen, Anhänger und zugehörige Ausstattung -Teil 2: Allgemeine Sicherheitsanforderungen
Dieses Dokument legt die allgemeinen Sicherheitsanforderungen für ausgleisbare Maschinen und Anhänger, einschließlich Zweiwege-Anhänger, die nachfolgend als "Maschinen" bezeichnet werden, für die Anwendung bei Versetzfahrten und Arbeiten auf Gleisen fest.
ANMERKUNG Anhänger, einschließlich Zweiwege-Anhänger, werden als Maschinen angesehen, da sie von angetriebenen Maschinen auf dem Gleis bewegt werden.
Dieses Dokument beschreibt die Anforderungen, wie mit den üblichen Gefahren durch ihre Verwendung auf Bahngleisen während des Transports, der Montage und Installation, der Inbetriebnahme, der Versetzfahrt und Arbeiten im/am Gleis, der Nutzung einschließlich der Einstellung, Programmierung und Verfahrensumstellung, des Betriebs, der Reinigung, der Fehlersuche, der Wartung und der Außerbetriebnahme der Maschinen und der zugehörigen Ausrüstung bei bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung und unter vernünftigerweise vorhersehbaren Fehlanwendung umzugehen ist.
Diese Maschinen werden nicht auf Eisenbahnstrecken betrieben, die für den normalen Verkehr freigegeben sind.
ANMERKUNG Andere schienengebundene Eisenbahninstandhaltungsmaschinen und Maschinen zur Inspektion der Infrastruktur werden in anderen Europäischen Normen behandelt, siehe CEN/TR 17498:2020.
Dieses Dokument gilt auch für Maschinen und zugehörige Ausrüstungen, die sich in Arbeitsmodus teilweise auf dem Schotter oder dem Untergrund (Planum) abstützen.
Die Anforderungen in diesem Dokument basieren auf der Annahme, dass die Maschinen von geschultem Personal benutzt, bedient und gewartet werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für:
- Anforderungen an die Arbeitsqualität oder die Leistung der Maschine;
- Verwendung von separater Ausrüstung, die vorübergehend an Maschinen montiert ist;
- Maschinen, die eine externe Energieversorgung wie die Oberleitungsanlage für Antriebszwecke oder als Energiequelle verwenden;
- Gefahren verursacht durch Luftdruckstöße von vorbeifahrenden Hochgeschwindigkeitszügen mit mehr als 200 km/h;
- Einsätze, die besonderen Regeln unterliegen, z. B. explosionsgefährdete Umgebungen;
- Gefahren aufgrund natürlicher Ursachen, z. B. Erdbeben, Blitzschlag, Überschwemmung;
- Arbeitsverfahren;
- Betrieb unter schwierigen Arbeitsbedingungen, die besondere Maßnahmen erfordern, z. B. korrosive Umgebung, kontaminierte Umgebungen, starke Magnetfelder;
- Gefahren durch freischwebende Lasten, die schwingen können.
Applications ferroviaires - Infrastructure - Machines déraillables, remorques et éléments associés - Partie 2 : Prescriptions générales pour la sécurité
Le présent document spécifie les prescriptions générales de sécurité applicables aux machines déraillables et aux remorques, notamment les remorques rail-route - désignées ci-après les « machines », durant le déplacement et le travail sur voie ferrée.
NOTE Les remorques, y compris les remorques rail-route, sont considérées comme des machines, car elles sont déplacées le long de la voie par des machines motorisées.
Le présent document spécifie les prescriptions pour traiter les phénomènes dangereux courants induits par l'utilisation de ces machines sur l'infrastructure ferroviaire durant le transport, l'assemblage et l'installation, la réception, la circulation et le travail sur voie, l'utilisation (y compris montage, programmation et changement des procédés), l'exploitation, le nettoyage, la localisation des défauts, la maintenance et la radiation des machines et des équipements associés lorsqu'ils sont utilisés dans les conditions prévues et dans les mauvaises conditions d'emploi qui peuvent être raisonnablement anticipées.
Ces machines ne circuleront pas sur les lignes ferroviaires ouvertes au trafic normal.
NOTE Les autres machines d'inspection de l'infrastructure et de maintenance ferroviaire montées sur rail sont traitées dans d'autres Normes européennes, voir Rapport technique CEN/TR 17498:2020.
Le présent document s'applique aussi aux machines et aux équipements associés qui, en mode travail, prennent partiellement appui sur le ballast ou sur la plate-forme.
Les prescriptions du présent document reposent sur l'hypothèse que les machines sont utilisées, exploitées et entretenues par des personnes qualifiées.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas :
- aux prescriptions relatives à la qualité du travail ou aux performances de la machine ;
- à l'utilisation d'équipements distincts montés pour une durée temporaire sur des machines ;
- aux machines utilisant une alimentation électrique externe telle que le système caténaire pour la traction ou comme source d'alimentation ;
- aux phénomènes dangereux dus à la pression de l'air causée par le passage des trains à grande vitesse à plus de 200 km/h ;
- à la mise en œuvre de la machine dans des conditions faisant l'objet de règles spéciales, par exemple atmosphère potentiellement explosive ;
- aux phénomènes dangereux dus à des causes naturelles, par exemple tremblement de terre, foudre, inondation ;
- aux méthodes de travail ;
- à l'exploitation dans des conditions de travail sévères exigeant des mesures particulières, par exemple environnements corrosifs ou contaminants, champs magnétiques de forte intensité ;
- aux phénomènes dangereux dus aux mouvements de charges librement suspendues susceptibles de se balancer.
