Introduction
This document specifies health and safety requirements, as well as some functional and performance
requirements for aircraft movement equipment intended for use on all aircraft types commonly in
service in civil air transport.
The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe,
serviceable, economical and practical aircraft movement equipment. Deviations should occur only after
careful consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and thorough service evaluation have shown
alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. Such deviations are outside the scope of this
document and a manufacturer should be able to demonstrate an equivalent level of protection.
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the provisions of this type-C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type-C
standard. Deviations from requirements do not fall within the presumption of conformity given by the
document.
