Railway applications - Track - Trailers and associated equipment - Part 1: Technical requirements for running and working
This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimise the specific railway hazards of
trailers and associated equipment, which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the
maintenance of trailers when carried out in accordance with the specification given by the manufacturer or his
authorised representative. This European Standard applies to trailers that are not intended to interact with
operating signalling and control systems. Other machines are dealt with in other European Standards; see
Annex E.
These trailers are not designed or intended for operating signalling and control systems and are only intended
to work and run under special operating conditions specifically designated by the infrastructure manager.
These trailers are not intended to be vehicles as defined in the Interoperability Directive and are not permitted
to run on the railway lines open to normal traffic. If this is required, they will need to be authorised or placed
into service as set out in the Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC.
Part 1 of this European Standard deals with the technical railway requirements; Part 2 deals with requirements
for the trailer to be declared conformant by the manufacturer, except in the case of trailers classified in
Annex 4 of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC which require 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 utilising other than adhesion between the rail and rail wheels, and underground
infrastructures.
This European Standard is also applicable to trailers and associated equipment that in working configuration
are partly supported on the ballast or the formation
