Aircraft ground support equipment - Specific requirements - Part 4: Passenger boarding bridges

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 PBB's when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some require-ments recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies.
This standard applies to:
-   apron-drive bridges;
-   fixed-head bridges (also referred to as nose loaders) or pedestal bridges;
-   suspended bridges,
for embarking/disembarking of passengers. It is applicable from the interface of the building to the connection with the aircraft. An example of a typical PBB is shown in annex A.
This standard does not apply to:
-   elevating lounges;
-   passenger stairs;
-   other forms of aircraft access equipment
or to the fixed building structure to which the PBB interfaces.
This standard does not establish requirements for hazards caused by noise and vibration.
This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to PBB's which are manufactured before the date of publication of this 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.

Luftfahrt-Bodengeräte - Besondere Anforderungen - Teil 4: Fluggastbrücken

Diese Europäische Norm legt die technischen Anforderungen zur Minimierung der in Abschnitt 4 aufgelisteten
Gefährdungen fest, die bei Inbetriebnahme, Betrieb und Wartung von Fluggastbrücken auftreten können,
wenn diese in Übereinstimmung mit den Anweisungen des Herstellers oder seines Beauftragten ausgeführt
werden. Sie berücksichtigt auch einige Anforderungen, die von offiziellen Stellen, Luftfahrzeug- und Bodengeräteherstellern
sowie Luftverkehrs- und Abfertigungsgesellschaften als wesentlich erachtet wurden.
Diese Norm gilt für:
⎯ Brücken mit Fahrwerk;
⎯ Brücken mit festem Kopf (auch Noseloader genannt) oder Podestbrücken;
⎯ frei hängende Brücken,
für das Ein- und Aussteigen von Fluggästen. Sie ist nur anzuwenden auf den Teil zwischen Abfertigungsgebäude
und Luftfahrzeug. Ein Beispiel einer typischen Fluggastbrücke ist in Anhang A enthalten.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für:
⎯ Lift-Lounges;
⎯ Fluggasttreppen;
⎯ andere Bauarten von Einrichtungen zum Einsteigen in Luftfahrzeuge;
oder feste Gebäudeteile, mit denen die Fluggastbrücke verbunden ist.
Diese Norm enthält keine Festlegungen für Gefährdungen, die durch Lärm und Vibration verursacht werden.
Dieser Teil von EN 12312 gilt nicht für Fluggastbrücken, 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."

Introduction This European Standard specifies health and safety requirements, as well as some functional and performance requirements, for passenger boarding bridges (PBB) intended for passenger embarking/disembarking of 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 PBB. Deviations from the recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and thorough service evaluation have shown alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. This European Standard is a Type C standard as stated in !EN ISO 12100". 1 Scope 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 PBB's when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some require-ments recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies. This standard applies to:  apron-drive bridges;  fixed-head bridges (also referred to as nose-loaders) or pedestal bridges;  suspended bridges, for embarking/disembarking of passengers. It is applicable from the interface of the building to the connection with the aircraft. An example of a typical PBB is shown in annex A. This standard does not apply to:  elevating lounges;  passenger stairs;  other forms of aircraft access equipment or to the fixed building structure to which the PBB interfaces. This standard does not establish requirements for hazards caused by noise and vibration. This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to PBB's which are manufactured before the date of publication of this 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." 2 Normative references !The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
