However, attention is drawn to the fact that during the development of this European Standard, the UK committee voted against its approval as a European Standard.Owing to the
3、inconsistent translation of this standard it can be read asambiguous or vague in its meaning. It is the view of the UK committeethat this lack of clarity undermines the purpose of setting a consistentsafety benchmark across member states. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Tech

This European Standard shall be given the status of a n
35、ational standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
36、rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. The purpose of this standard is to define a common approach to the
37、safety of workers regarding the railway risks in relation to work on or in proximity of the track in the European Community. National safety rules (for example national standards or company rules) should gradually be harmonized in line with this standard or be replaced by rules contained in this sta
38、ndard but according to directive 89/391/EEC it is not allowed to reduce the existing level of safety measures given by national safety rules. The current situation, in which, national safety rules continue to play a role, should be regarded as a transitional stage, leading ultimately to a situation
39、in which, European rules described here after, will apply. This European Standard is one of the series EN 16704 “Railway applications Track Safety protection on the track during work” as listed below: Part 1: Railway risks and common principles for protection of fixed and mobile work sites Part 2-1:
40、 Common solutions and technology Technical requirements for Track Warning Systems (TWS) Part 2-2: Common solutions and technology Technical requirements for barriers Part 3: Competences of personnel related to work on or near the railway track According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the n
41、ational standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
42、Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. BS EN 16704-1:2016EN 16704-1:2016 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard provides requirements and measures to deal with the significant and spec
43、ific railway risks during works on or in proximity of the track and with common principles for the protection of fixed and mobile work sites with trains and/or machines circulating on the working track and trains circulating on the adjacent track(s). Railway risks and protection measures for access
44、and egress to/from the work site are considered in the same way as railway risks and protection measures for work itself. This European Standard is applicable to all operations related to work activities on rail guided systems. Infrastructure of metro, tram and other light rail systems is excluded f
45、rom the scope1). The following specific railway risks are taken into consideration: Risk 1: Personnel being struck by a train or injured due to wind drag from a train on open working track (safety of the worker); NOTE 1 Risk 1 includes injuring of a worker by machines, material or equipment being st
46、ruck by a train on the working track. Risk 2: Personnel being struck by a train or injured due to wind drag from train on adjacent track (safety of the worker); Risk 3: Personnel being struck by machine or train on blocked track (safety of the worker); Risk 4: Machines, material or equipment being s
47、truck by a train on the adjacent track (safety of the operation/safety of the worker); Risk 5: Personnel being electrified or electrocuted by fixed electrical equipment (safety of the worker). NOTE 2 Risk 5 includes hazards caused by pantographs of passing trains. This European Standard also provide
48、s requirements to the process of installing basic preventive measures when planning new infrastructure or installing corrective measures when adapting existing infrastructure. This European Standard may be extended to third parties when it is considered appropriate and reasonable by the infrastructu
49、re manager, if one or more of the five significant risks described inside this standard, arise as a result of their activities in proximity of the track. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
