Railway Applications - Track - Safety Protection on the Track During Work - Part 2-2: Common Solutions and Technology - Requirements for Barriers
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16704-2-2 standard focuses on providing requirements for barriers to prevent workers from entering dangerous areas accidentally. The standard establishes minimum requirements and test procedures for barriers, including dimensions, stability, and electrical properties. Additionally, it offers recommendations for marking (visual demarcation line) to indicate where a person may enter the danger zone.
It is important to note that this standard does not cover urban rail systems, which may have different track gauges. The purpose of using barriers as a safety measure remains the same across all railway systems. However, this standard does not address risk assessment, hierarchy of safety measures, safety measures for safe working and train operation in work site areas, national safety regulations for planning and operating barriers, specific safety regulations, or additional requirements that may arise from national or operational rules or negotiations with manufacturers. It also does not discuss electrical hazards associated with different electrified circuits.
