1.1 General This European Standard defines the specific technical railway requirements for running of machines and other vehicles used for construction, maintenance and inspection of track, structures, track formation and fixed electric traction equipment. This European Standard applies to all railbound machines and other vehicles referred to as machines running exclusively on the railway (utilising adhesion between the rail and wheels) and used for construction, maintenance and inspection of track, structures, infrastructure and fixed electric traction equipment. This European Standard applies to machines that are intended to operate signalling and control systems. Other machines are dealt with in other European Standards, see Annex L. Special 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 wheels, road-rail machines and metro/light rail infrastructures which are not included in this standard. This European Standard covers the railway specific requirements for movements of the machine as a train and movements to reach work sites. 1.2 Validity of the European Standard This European Standard takes into consideration the recommendations given in Annex L on the application of the standard.
