It is recommended to take environmental aspects into account during development, production and
disposal of caravan holiday homes based on established knowledge and within the respective technical
possibilities (see also Annex J).
5 Design and construction
5.1 Occupancy
The manufacturer shall designate the occupancy as the number of berths, both standard and additional
berths, provided by the manufacturer and shall include it in the User's Handbook and his brochures.
The occupancy is also necessary to determine the ventilation requirements (see EN 721).
5.2 Ceiling height
