Railway Applications - Track - Road-Rail Machines and Associated Equipment - Part 4: Technical Requirements for Running, Travelling and Working on Urban Rail
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15746-4 standard specifies the technical requirements for self-propelled road-rail machines and associated equipment used on urban rail. It aims to minimize the specific hazards related to operating these machines on urban railways. This standard is an amendment to EN 15746-1, providing additional requirements specific to urban rail use.
However, it's important to note that this standard does not cover the quality of work or performance of the machine. The specific requirements for machine use, such as negotiated terms between the manufacturer and the Urban Rail Manager, are also outside the scope of this document. Additionally, this standard does not apply to situations where the machine is moving and working off rails, or to separate machines temporarily mounted on road-rail machines and associated equipment.
Furthermore, the DIN EN 15746-4 standard does not establish additional requirements for operations subject to special rules, such as potentially explosive atmospheres, or hazards due to natural causes like earthquakes or flooding. It also does not cover working methods, operations in severe working conditions that require special measures (e.g., extreme temperatures, corrosive or contaminating environments), or hazards when handling suspended loads that may swing freely.
