Comparison TSI Loc & Pas with EN 14 033
Manufacturing industry (OTM Co-Chairman, Mr. Franz Messerli, CEO of Matisa) presented the first critical comparison of TSI Loc & Pas with EN 14 033, part 1 which identified the items where• EN 14033-1 is equal to TSI specifications• consistence can be found for EN 14 033-1 and TSI referring to the same standards• components covered by TSI and some other harmonized standards are missing in EN 14 033-1 •TSI and EN 14033-1 show partly weak or even strong discrepancies
For illustrations of the above - some examples from Mr. Messerli’s presentation
3rd joint industry - contractors meeting at UNIFE, Brussels, 14th October 2011Franz Messerli CEO
Degree of consistency: TSI and EN 14033-1
Specifications of EN 14033-1 are equal to TSI specifications
with regard to following components:
Load-bearing capability of the frame
Lifting and jacking of the hydraulic cylinders
Fixed components on the frame
Driving dynamics
Ballast baskets
Concerning these components the TSI defines special specifications for on-track machines(appendix C) which correspond to EN 14033 standards

Full agreement on the following principles
• OTM authorisation has to be kept voluntary for time being in any further revision of all TSI and any related standards• At present, EN 14 033 forms the best basis for developing mutual acceptance of the authorisation by NSA on the basis of bilateral/multilateral agreements• For this purpose it is proposed to check the existing bilateral agreements and enhance their validity for OTM• OTM TF welcome the proposed alignment of EN 14 033 by CEN WG 5 as harmonised standard, but this work cannot be completed in time available for TSI revision. • OTM Task Force therefore decided to take immediate actions to identify the critical items for TSI revision in the time schedule adopted by ERA..
It was acknowledged that a detailed comparison of TSI and EN 14 033 cannot be done just by internal resources of UNIFE and EFRTC. It was therefore agreed that:• Chapter 4 TSI Loc & Pas shall be analyzed point with regard to its applicability to OTM and a detailed critical comparison of each item of EN 14 033 with chapter 4 TSI Loc & Pas shall be performed• Call for proposal with detail remit to be drafted by EFRTC by end of the October - done• A consultant shall be selected by 15.11 to perform the work by the end of the year (5 pre-selected companies/ consultants approached)
Conclusions/Actions(1)
Conclusions/Actions (2)
In addition to previous it was agreed that• existing bilateral/multilateral agreements shall be checked with regard to their potential applicability to OTM• This work will be carried out by members of Task Force in line with the agreed assignments at the meeting• For this purpose UNIFE provided EFRTC with the matrix of the existing bilateral agreements as presented in the last slide
