Rescue systems - Transportation of incubators - Part 1: Interface conditions
This standard specifies the requirements for the interface between the vehicle and the incubator and the associated equipment, needed for care and treatment of neonates, used in emergency or planned transport. The standard also specifies that the equipment or systems used do not interfere with the functions of the vehicle or craft providing transportation.
Rettungssysteme - Inkubatortransport - Teil 1: Anforderungen an Schnittstellen
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die Schnittstellen zwischen dem Fahrzeug und dem Inkubator sowie der dazugehörigen Ausrüstung fest, die bei Notfall- oder geplanten Transporten für die Pflege und Behandlung von Säuglingen erforderlich ist.
Die Norm legt auch Anforderungen an den sicheren Transport unter Anwendung von Ausrüstungen oder Systemen fest, die nicht störend in die Funktionen des Fahrzeugs eingreifen.
In dieser Norm sind keine Anforderungen an die Fahrzeuge, Geräte oder Inkubatoren selbst festgelegt, diese Anforderungen finden sich in anderen Normen. Transportinkubatoren sind jedoch normalerweise mit anderen Geräten verbunden und bilden ein "Inkubatortransportsystem".
Systèmes de sauvetage - Transport d'incubateurs - Partie 1: Conditions d'interface
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives à l'interface entre le véhicule ou l'engin à moteur, l'incubateur et les équipements associés, utilisés pour les soins aux nourrissons dans le cadre d'un transport, d'urgence ou non.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie également les exigences relatives à la sécurité du transport au moyen d'équipements ou de systèmes qui n'interfèrent pas avec les fonctions du moyen de transport.
La présente Norme européenne ne prescrit pas d'exigences relatives aux véhicules, dispositifs ou incubateurs en tant que tels ; ces exigences sont formulées dans d'autres normes. Cependant, les incubateurs de transport sont normalement combinés avec d'autres équipements, pour former un «système d'incubateur de transport».

Foreword
This document (EN 13976-1:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN /TC 239, "Rescue systems",
the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by June 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
June 2004.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
This European Standard gives the requirements for the interfaces required in the transport of an incubator. These
include those between the incubator and the vehicle or craft as well as those between the various items of
equipment used to make up the transport incubator system. They are essential in order to ensure interchangeability
and a safe and effective function in different vehicles, allowing the uninterrupted care of patients. Requirements for
the system are given in part 2 (EN 13976-2).
Fixation, monitoring, supply of gas and electricity shall be maintained through the use of the same standard
interfaces as defined in this document.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the interface between the vehicle or craft and the incubator
and the associated equipment, needed for care and treatment of infants, used in emergency or planned transport.
The standard also specifies requirements for the safe transportation using equipment or systems that do not
interfere with the functions of the vehicle or craft providing transportation.
This standard does not give requirements for the vehicles, crafts, devices or incubators as such, these
requirements are found in other standards. However, transport incubators are normally combined with other
equipment to form a “transport incubator system”.
