Overview
SIST EN 12312-1:2002/kprA1:2008 is a European Standard developed by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 274, focusing on aircraft ground support equipment, specifically passenger stairs. This standard outlines specific requirements for the design, safety, and performance of passenger stairs used in airport ground operations. It serves as an amendment to the original EN 12312-1:2001, aiming to integrate updated safety and technical principles in alignment with relevant EU Directives, including machinery safety regulations.
The standard ensures that passenger stairs meet essential safety, usability, and interoperability criteria vital for smooth and secure aircraft boarding and disembarking processes. It is harmonized with related standards such as EN 1915 series and international ISO standards, providing a unified framework for manufacturers, operators, and regulatory bodies across Europe.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
EN 12312-1 applies specifically to passenger stairs used in aircraft ground support, ensuring compatibility with aircraft doors, boarding bridges, and transfer vehicles.Design and Safety Requirements
- Compliance with EN 1915 series for vehicle safety and noise reduction (EN 1915-4).
- Incorporation of ISO standards such as ISO 7718 and ISO 16004 for interfaces with aircraft doors and boarding equipment.
- Updated safety protocols referencing EN ISO 12100 (machine safety design principles) and EN ISO 13850 (emergency stop principles).
- Specifications for materials such as aluminum tread plates (EN 1386).
Verification and Testing
Includes verification procedures aligned with EN 1915-3 to ensure robust adherence to safety and performance criteria.Conformity with EU Directives
The standard relates closely to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and New Approach Directive 98/37/EC, providing presumption of conformity when implemented nationally.
Applications
