This document specifies the requirements for demountable machines and trailers, including road-rail trailers - henceforward referred to as ‘machines’. 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 are not designed nor intended to operate signalling and control systems and are only designed and intended to work and travel under special operating conditions in accordance with those permitted by the infrastructure managers. These machines are not permitted to 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 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.

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.

This document is applicable to the system engineering of all bogies and running gear. It specifies the requirements to achieve: — a satisfactory design of bogie or running gear — validation of the design within its operating envelope — a maintenance plan to ensure the relevant performance and safety criteria are maintained. No requirements are set for other systems components that are attached to the bogies or running gear, except to establish that a satisfactory interface has been provided. NOTE Specifications that relate to bogies and running gear can only be considered in the context of a specific vehicle application. Therefore, the performance, including safety, can relate only to the bogies and running gear as part of a vehicle configuration and not to the individual elements of the bogies or running gear.

The document is applicable to the brake pad holders with which the rail vehicles of main-line railways, regional and suburban railways are fitted. Brake pad holders pursuant to this document are to be made from ferrous materials e.g. cast iron, cast steel or forged steel. Brake pad holders made of non-ferrous materials are not subject of this document.

This document describes a procedure for static strength assessment of rail vehicle structures that are manufactured, operated and maintained according to standards valid for rail system applications. The assessment procedure is restricted to ferrous materials and aluminium. This document does not define design load cases. This document is not applicable for corrosive conditions or elevated temperature operation in the creep range. This document is applicable to all kinds of rail vehicles.

This document identifies the information required to be marked on heavy rail freight wagons, or parts of heavy rail freight wagons, relating to their technical, operational and maintenance characteristics This document defines the characteristics of these markings, the requirements pertaining to their presentation, their shape and position on a vehicle and their meaning. Some markings are accompanied with a note(s) where appropriate. Tank barrel manufacturers’ design criteria, test and product specification plates have not been considered in this document as they are specified in EN 12561-1:2011, Railway applications — Tank wagons — Part 1: Identification plates for tank wagons for the carriage of dangerous goods. Where fully specified in RID (Regulations concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods) Dangerous Goods markings have not been considered in this document (dimensions, colour, location and form). Where markings are not fully specified in RID they are included in this document.
