Overview

SIST EN 12312-15:2006/kprA1:2008 is a European standard focusing on aircraft ground support equipment specifically for baggage and equipment tractors. Developed by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 274, this standard outlines specific safety and performance requirements that these tractors must meet when used in airport ground handling operations. It complements general vehicle standards such as EN 1915 series, ensuring that baggage tractors conform to rigorous safety and design criteria.

This standard supports compliance with EU Directives, particularly Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, offering a presumption of conformity when adhered to. Updated amendments clarify references to relevant complementary standards and technical safety principles, improving harmonization across ground support machinery.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application: Addresses specific requirements for baggage and equipment tractors used in aircraft ground support, ensuring operational safety and performance on airport apron and service areas.
• Harmonization with Related Standards: Integrates with EN 1915 parts 1-4 covering general vehicle design and safety principles.
• Safety Requirements: Specifies emergency stop functions, operator protection, and safety control systems complying with EN ISO 13850 and EN 1175 series.
• Technical Modifications: Updates references to ISO and EN standards for machinery safety, emergency stopping, and access systems consistent with modern safety engineering principles.
• Verification and Testing: Describes verification processes for safety features including braking, emergency stops, and operator controls to ensure regulatory compliance.
• EU Directive Compliance: Supports alignment with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC through informative Annexes ZA and ZB, providing guidance on conformity assessment.

Applications

• Airport Ground Handling: Implemented by ground service organizations operating baggage and equipment tractors responsible for safe and efficient luggage transfer.
• Equipment Manufacturers: Guides manufacturers in designing, testing, and certifying baggage tractors to meet European safety and functional standards.
• Regulatory Compliance: Used by regulatory bodies and certification agencies for ensuring vehicles meet essential health and safety requirements.
• Maintenance and Training: Supports maintenance standards and operator training focusing on safe usage and troubleshooting according to updated norms.

Related Standards

• EN 1915-1 to EN 1915-4: General safety requirements for industrial trucks and vehicles used in aircraft ground support.
• EN ISO 13850:2008: Safety standards for machinery emergency stop design.
• EN 1175 series: Control systems safety standards for industrial and service vehicles.
• EN ISO 12100:2003: General principles of risk assessment and machinery safety design.
• EN ISO 2867:2006: Safety access systems for earth-moving and service machinery.
• EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC: EU regulation setting essential safety requirements for machinery placed on the market.

---

By following the SIST EN 12312-15:2006/kprA1:2008 standard, organizations and manufacturers involved in airport ground support can ensure the safety, reliability, and regulatory conformity of baggage and equipment tractors - critical vehicles that enhance airport operational efficiency while safeguarding personnel and equipment.
