Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 274/SC 3/WG 6 is a Subcommittee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Air start equipment" and is responsible for: Establishing of EN standards for specific requirements for air start equipment. This committee has published 3 standards.
CEN/TC 274/SC 3/WG 6 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: Establishing of EN standards for specific requirements for air start equipment. Currently, there are 3 published standards from this subcommittee.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Subcommittee (SC) in CEN operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of air start equipment when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some performance requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies.
This European Standard applies to the following types of air start equipment used for civil aircraft:
- stored air systems without compressors;
- mobile diesel powered air start units;
- mobile turbine powered air start units;
- air delivery systems of ramp or passenger boarding bridges,
as defined in Clause 3 (Examples see Annex A).
This European Standard does not establish requirements for the pressure vessels included in the air start equipment.
This European Standard does not establish requirements for noise and vibration.
Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in EN 1915 4 and EN 1915 3.
This European Standard does not deal with hazards in respect to a standard automotive chassis and from other vehicles on the apron.
This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to air start equipment which is manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.
This part of EN 12312 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (for vehicles) and EN 1915-4.
