Introduction The abbreviation GSE means a complete item of aircraft ground support equipment in the context of this European Standard. When compiling this European Standard it was assumed that:  components without specific requirements are: a) designed in accordance with the usual engineering practices, welding and calculation codes including all failure modes; b) made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality; c) made of materials free of defects;  components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain despite wear;  by design of the load bearing elements, a safe operation of the machine is assured for loading ranges from zero to 100 % of the rated possibilities and during tests;  a negotiation took place between the user and the manufacturer concerning particular conditons for the use and places of use of the GSE;  the place of operation allows a safe use of GSE. The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this European Standard. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, economical and usable GSE. Deviation from the recommended methods and conditions should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing and thorough in service evaluation have shown alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. This European Standard is a Type C standard as defined in !EN ISO 12100". 1 Scope This Part of EN 1915 specifies the conditions to be taken into consideration when calculating the strength and the stability of GSE according to !EN 1915-1" and the EN 12312 series under intended use conditions. It also specifies general test methods. NOTE The methods given in this standard demonstrate one way of achieving an acceptable safety level. Methods that produce comparable results may be used.

Aircraft ground support equipment - Specific requirements - Part 8: Maintenance or service stairs and platforms
SIST EN 12312-8:2018

1.1   General
This document specifies the technical requirements to minimize the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of maintenance or service stairs and platforms when used as intended, including misuse reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorized representative. It also takes into account some requirements recognized as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies.
These machines are designed to be used as aircraft ground support equipment with the intended use to serve aircraft in outdoor conditions on the apron. They can also be used indoors at hangars. The use of such equipment for operations not in conjunction with aircraft is not defined as intended use therein. Due to the good operational conditions on the apron, deviations from some clauses of EN 280 were deemed acceptable.
This European Standard applies to:
a)   self-propelled fixed or adjustable maintenance or service stairs and elevating platforms;
b)   towable maintenance or service stairs and platforms equipped with powered means, e.g. for height adjustment, stabilizers;
designed for aircraft maintenance or service purposes including access to the aircraft.
NOTE 1   Powered will be also understood as manual effort stored in springs or hydraulic accumulators, etc., the dangerous action of which can be produced or can continue after the manual effort has ceased or directly applied manual effort for lifting or lowering loads.
NOTE 2   Those clauses of this standard that can apply can also be used as a guideline for the design of towable maintenance or service stairs and platforms without powered means.
This European Standard does not apply to:
c)   maintenance docks either fixed to the ground or moveable only for docking procedure;
d)   ground support equipment specifically intended, built and equipped with a fluid system for aircraft de-icing and anti-icing (see EN 12312 6);
NOTE 3   This does not prevent aircraft de-icers meeting the requirements of EN 12312 6 from being used as a means of access for aircraft maintenance, e.g. windshield cleaning, etc.
e)   mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP) used at the airports for purposes other than aircraft maintenance, e.g. buildings and facilities (see EN 280).
No extra requirements on noise and vibration are provided other than those given in EN 1915 3 and EN 1915 4.
NOTE 4   EN 1915 3 and EN 1915 4 provide the general GSE vibration and noise requirements.
