Overview

EN 1647:2018/prA1 is a CEN European standard for leisure accommodation vehicles - caravan holiday homes, addressing habitation requirements that relate to the health and safety of occupants using caravan holiday homes (as defined in EN 13878) intended for temporary or seasonal accommodation. The standard sets construction, performance and information requirements and defines corresponding test methods to verify safety and durability.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Health and safety of occupants - requirements intended to reduce hazards in the living areas of caravan holiday homes.
  • Structural stability - criteria and tests to ensure the caravan holiday home maintains stability under expected operational conditions.
  • Resistance to snow loads - graded requirements for snow-load resistance of the structure to ensure safe use in seasonal climates.
  • Glazing safety (amendment prA1) - updated glazing requirement:
    • “Any glass in external windows, panels and doors that are less than 800 mm above finished floor level shall be safety glazing class 3B3 or 3C3 or better in accordance with EN 12600.”
  • User’s handbook content - minimum information that must be provided to users (safety instructions, operational limits, maintenance guidance).
  • Test methods - specified test procedures to verify compliance with structural, load and glazing requirements.

Practical applications and who uses this standard

EN 1647:2018/prA1 is used by professionals involved in the design, manufacture, certification and operation of caravan holiday homes:

  • Manufacturers and designers - to ensure products meet safety, structural and glazing requirements before market release.
