SIST EN 1915-2:2002/kprA1:2008 – Aircraft Ground Support Equipment Stability and Strength
Overview
SIST EN 1915-2:2002/kprA1:2008 is a critical European standard developed by CEN’s Technical Committee CEN/TC 274. It focuses on the general requirements for aircraft ground support equipment (GSE), specifically addressing the stability and strength requirements, including the calculations and test methods necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of such equipment. This standard serves as an amendment to the original EN 1915-2:2001, aligning the requirements with updated safety directives and harmonizing with other international standards.
This standard is essential for GSE manufacturers and operators for compliance with European machinery safety directives (EC Directives 98/37/EC and 2006/42/EC), providing presumption of conformity when properly applied. It covers fundamental mechanical safety aspects, ensuring ground support equipment maintains structural integrity and stability during operation.
Key Topics
- Stability Requirements: Criteria to ensure that ground support equipment remains stable under typical operating conditions to prevent accidents and equipment failure.
- Strength Requirements: Structural strength thresholds that GSE components must meet, specifying materials, welding quality, and endurance under load.
- Calculations: Precise methodologies for calculating stability and strength parameters based on recognized engineering principles and harmonized standards such as EN ISO 12100.
- Test Methods: Established procedures for verifying compliance with stability and strength requirements through rigorous testing.
- Safety Requirements & Protective Measures: Integration of safety principles from EN 1915-1, EN 1915-3, EN 1915-4, and EN 12312 series focusing on vibration, noise reduction, and overall safety of machinery.
- Reference Updates: Incorporation of latest standards including transition from older welding and safety standards to EN ISO 3834 series, EN ISO 5817, and ISO 2408 to ensure contemporary quality requirements.
Applications
The SIST EN 1915-2:2002/kprA1:2008 standard applies to a wide range of aircraft ground support equipment used in airports and aviation maintenance facilities, such as:
- Tow tractors
- Ground power units
- Cargo loaders
- Aircraft stairs and lifts
- Refueling vehicles
Compliance with this standard ensures:
- Enhanced operational safety during aircraft servicing and support activities.
- Improved structural durability and resistance to mechanical stresses.
- Reliable equipment performance under various environmental and load conditions.
- Alignment with regulatory safety mandates, facilitating certification and market access within the European Union and EFTA member countries.
Related Standards
Users of SIST EN 1915-2:2002/kprA1:2008 should consider complementary standards for comprehensive GSE safety management:
- EN 1915-1: General requirements for aircraft ground support equipment.
- EN 1915-3: Vibration measurement and reduction techniques.
- EN 1915-4: Noise measurement and reduction methods.
- EN 12312 (all parts): Specific requirements for various categories of ground support machinery.
- EN ISO 12100-1 & 12100-2: Safety of machinery – Basic concepts and design principles.
- EN ISO 3834 series: Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials.
- EN ISO 5817: Standards for fusion-welded joints quality.
- ISO 2408: Minimum requirements for steel wire ropes.
Practical Value
By adhering to SIST EN 1915-2:2002/kprA1:2008, manufacturers and operators of aircraft ground support equipment can ensure robust design and safe operational practices. This standard supports the reduction of workplace hazards, safeguards personnel, and minimizes downtime caused by equipment failure. Furthermore, the updated references and alignment with international standards enhance consistency, quality control, and regulatory compliance across the aviation ground support sector.
Ensuring compliance with this standard is an essential step toward achieving safe, efficient, and durable ground support solutions that meet evolving aviation industry demands.
