scope:

This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimize the specific railway hazards of self-propelled road-rail machines as defined in prEN 15746-1:2015, 3.5, henceforward referred to as machines - when designed and intended for running on European railways within the scope of European Directive 2007/58/EC. The running mode is an option designed by the manufacturer which permits the use of the machine on a specified railway infrastructure without the need for special operational rules. This European Standard does not apply to the following: - 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; - travelling and working both on and off rails; - running on urban rail. For a road-rail machine it is assumed that an EU road permissible host vehicle will offer an accepted safety level for its designed basic functions before conversion. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in a particular clause this specific aspect is not dealt with in this European Standard.
