EN 14033-2:2008 (FAULTY STANDARD)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 requirements with regard to the quality of work, including the related measuring methods, and
the performance of the machine;1)
the specific requirements established by each railway infrastructure manager for the use of
machines which will be the subject of negotiation between the manufacturer and the
infrastructure manager.
This European Standard does not deal with the following additional requirements:
working methods;
operation in severe working conditions requiring special measures (e.g. work in tunnels or in
cuttings, extreme environmental conditions such as freezer applications, high temperatures,
corrosive environment, tropical environment, contaminating environments, strong magnetic
fields);
operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres);
hazards due to errors in software;
hazards occurring when used to handle suspended loads which may swing freely;
hazards due to wind pressure greater than normal e.g. pressures caused by the passing of trains
at speed in excess of 190 km/h.
1.2 Validity of this European Standard
This European Standard applies to all machines, which are ordered after one year from the
publication date of this European Standard.
