Aircraft ground support equipment - Specific requirements - Part 1: Passenger stairs
This Part of EN 12312 deals with the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of passenger stairs when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some requirements recognized as essential by the health and safety authorities, aircraft and vehicle manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies.
This standard applies to:
- self-propelled stairs with seated driver (see annex A);
- pedestrian controlled stairs;
- towable stairs equipped with powered means, e.g. for height adjustment, stabilizers (see annex A);
- automatic levelling systems of stairs;
for embarking/disembarking of passengers.
NOTE 1 Powered should be also understood as manual effort stored in springs or hydraulic accumulators, etc., the dangerous action of which can be produced or can continue after the manual effort has ceased or directly applied manual effort for lifting or lowering loads.
NOTE 2 Those clauses of this standard that can apply may also be used as a guideline for the design of towable stairs without powered means.
This standard does not apply to pneumatic systems.
This standard does not establish requirements for hazards caused by noise and vibration.
This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to passenger stairs which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN of this standard.
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.
Noise is dealt with in EN 1915-4.
Luftfahrt-Bodengeräte - Besondere Anforderungen - Teil 1: Fluggasttreppen
Dieser Teil von EN 12312 behandelt die technischen Anforderungen für Fluggasttreppen zur Minimierung der
in Abschnitt 4 aufgelisteten Gefährdungen, die bei Inbetriebnahme, Betrieb und Wartung auftreten können,
wenn diese in Übereinstimmung mit den Anweisungen des Herstellers oder seines Beauftragten ausgeführt
werden. Er berücksichtigt auch einige Anforderungen, die von den Organen der Arbeitssicherheit und des Gesundheitsschutzes,
Luftfahrzeug- und Bodengeräteherstellern sowie Luftverkehrs- und Abfertigungsgesellschaften
als wesentlich erachtet wurden.
Diese Norm gilt für:
⎯ selbstfahrende Treppen mit Fahrerplatz (siehe Anhang A);
⎯ mitgängergeführte Treppen;
⎯ schleppbare Treppen mit kraftbetriebenen Einrichtungen, z. B. zur Höhenanpassung, Abstützungen (siehe
Anhang A);
⎯ automatische Nachführeinrichtungen für Treppen;
die für das Ein- und Aussteigen von Fluggästen bestimmt sind.
ANMERKUNG 1 Kraftbetrieben sollte auch verstanden werden als in Federn gespeicherte menschliche Arbeitskraft
oder hydraulische Akkumulatoren o. ä., nutzen und deren gefährliche Wirkung nicht zwangsläufig mit Einstellung der
menschlichen Tätigkeit beendet ist oder unmittelbar angewandte menschliche Arbeitskraft zum Heben oder Senken von
Lasten.
ANMERKUNG 2 Zutreffende Abschnitte dieser Norm können auch als Grundlage für die Gestaltung von schleppbaren
Treppen ohne kraftbetätigte Einrichtungen dienen.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für pneumatische Systeme.
Diese Norm enthält keine Festlegungen für Gefährdungen, die durch Lärm und Vibration verursacht werden.
Dieser Teil von EN 12312 gilt nicht für Fluggasttreppen, die vor der Veröffentlichung dieser Norm durch
CEN hergestellt wurden.
!Es ist beabsichtigt, diesen Teil der EN 12312 in Verbindung mit EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (für
Fahrzeuge) und EN 1915-4 anzuwenden.
Geräusche werden in EN 1915-4 behandelt."

4 Introduction This European Standard defines health and safety requirements, as well as some functional and performance requirements, for stairs including a built-in source of power (see Clause 1, Scope) intended for passengers embarking/disembarking aircraft. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, serviceable, economical, and practical passenger stairs. Deviations from the recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and service evaluation have shown alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. This European standard is a Type C standard as defined in !EN ISO 12100". 1 Scope This Part of EN 12312 deals with the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of passenger stairs when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some requirements recognized as essential by the health and safety authorities, aircraft and vehicle manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies. This standard applies to: self-propelled stairs with seated driver (see annex A); pedestrian controlled stairs; towable stairs equipped with powered means, e.g. for height adjustment, stabilizers (see annex A); automatic levelling systems of stairs; for embarking/disembarking of passengers. NOTE 1 Powered should be also understood as manual effort stored in springs or hydraulic accumulators, etc., the dangerous action of which can be produced or can continue after the manual effort has ceased or directly applied manual effort for lifting or lowering loads. NOTE 2 Those clauses of this standard that can apply may also be used as a guideline for the design of towable stairs without powered means. This standard does not apply to pneumatic systems. This standard does not establish requirements for hazards caused by noise and vibration.
