CEN/TC 256
| Project No. | prEN 15955-1 |

| Title | This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimize the specific railway hazards of self propelled demountable machines - henceforward referred to as machines - and associated equipment, which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of these machines when carried out in accordance with the specification given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. This European Standard applies to machines that are not intended to operate signalling and control systems. Other similar machines are dealt with in other European Standards, see Annex F. NOTE Machines not intended for operating signalling and control systems are only permitted to run under special conditions and within areas specifically designated by the infrastructure manager. Part 1 of this standard deals with the requirements for approval of machines by an authorised body; part 2 deals with the requirements for the machine to be declared conformant by the manufacturer, except in the case of machines classified in Machinery Directive, Annex 4 which requires 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: - requirements for quality of the work or performance of the machine; - specific requirements established by the railway infrastructure operator for the use of machines, which will be the subject of negotiation between the manufacturer and the purchaser; - separate machines temporarily mounted on demountable machines and associated equipment. |
