DIN EN 16704-3:2017-03 EN 16704-3:2016 (E) 6 Introduction Work on or near railway tracks can, if not executed with the proper package of measures related to

35、safety, endanger the health and safety of personnel on work sites. It is therefore essential that personnel involved in the work on or near the track are competent to carry out the activity or activities listed in this standard. As job descriptions can vary from country to country and from company t

36、o company this standard specifies the activities to be carried out. Job descriptions should specify the activities within the work. The safety relevant requirements for operation determined in national regulations are mandatory. From the requirements in this EN no presumptions of conformity can be r

37、elated to national regulations for safety at work. DIN EN 16704-3:2017-03 EN 16704-3:2016 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard defines activities related to work on or near the railway track and the associated competence profiles of persons who carry out these activities if one or more of the 5 sign

38、ificant risks described inside EN 16704-1:2016 arise as a result of their activities. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For

39、undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

44、be issued after a positive evaluation by a competent body. NOTE 1 A body complying with the requirements specified in EN ISO/IEC 17024 is deemed to be competent. It is permissible that the competent body is part of a larger organization e.g. infrastructure company or trackwork company. DIN EN 16704-

45、3:2017-03 EN 16704-3:2016 (E) 8 For determining the competence a checking of the medical aptitude is necessary. In case of absence of legal regulations of a country, the medical requirements in this standard are applicable on the initiative of the company doctor. 4.2.2 Maintenance of competence Comp
