scope:

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.
