Introduction
This European Standard defines health and safety requirements for baggage and equipment tractors
intended for towing equipment and baggage/cargo trailers on airports.
The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe,
serviceable, economical and practical baggage and equipment tractors. Deviations should occur only
after careful consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and service evaluation have shown
alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. Such deviations are outside the scope of this
standard and a manufacturer should be able to demonstrate an equivalent level of protection.
This European Standard is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
