Turntable ladder vehicles comprise a chassis, bodywork and a powered extending structure unit in the form of a ladder with or without a rescue cage.
Turntable ladder vehicles covered by this European Standard have a self-propelled chassis, the motor of which supplies the power necessary for the operation of the ladder and permits all of the operational movements to be made simultaneously, with no restriction on the angle of the slewing movement.
1.2   This European Standard deals with the technical safety requirements to minimize the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during commissioning, operational use, routine checking and maintenance of turntable ladders when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorized representative.
1.3   This European Standard deals with the use of turntable ladder vehicles within an ambient temperature range from −15 °C to +35 °C and with a wind velocity on the ladder set ≤ 12,5 m/s. Additional measures can be necessary for use outside this range. Special designs for use under special climatic conditions should be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. Any additional requirements are outside the scope of the standard.
1.4   This European Standard does not deal with the design of a standard automotive chassis with regard to hazards resulting from or due to use as a road vehicle.
1.5   This European Standard is not applicable to turntable ladder vehicles with combined movements which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.

This European Standard applies to vehicle mounted Hydraulic Platforms (HP's) as defined in 3.1, intended for use by fire and rescue services. HP's may participate in fire fighting, rescue or protection of persons, protection of the environment and in a variety of other technical operations.
This document identifies the significant hazards (see Clause 4) for all sizes of HP's used by fire and rescue services, on the basis that they are supplied in a complete form, tested and ready for use. It also gives methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards. This document applies only to HP's classified in group B  type 1 according to EN 280:2001, 1.4.
NOTE 1   HPs of group B  type 1 are those where the vertical projection of the centre of gravity of the load may be outside the tipping lines and for which travelling is only allowed with the HP in its travel condition.
Consequently this document does not apply to HP's with the following classification according to EN 280:2001, 1.4:
-   group A - type 1;
-   group A - type 2;
-   group A - type 3;
-   group B - type 2;
-   group B - type 3.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1846 2 and EN 1846 3.
This document deals with the technical safety requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, the operational use, the routine checking and maintenance of hydraulic platforms when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to HP's, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer and taking account of their whole lifecycle (see Clause 4).
NOTE 2   The lifecycle includes construction, transport, assembly and installation, commissioning, use (including setting, teaching/programming or process changeover), operation, (...)

This standard lists in Section 4 the significant hazards in the use of all sizesof Hydraulic Platforms (HPs) for Fire Services when in use, on the basis that a they are supplied in a complete form, tested and ready for use. It identifies methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards and for the use of safe working practices. Its principles have been used for HPs ranging from the smallest up to working heights exceeding 60 m, and are expected to be applicable for all foreseeable developments of HPs for Fire Services.
