Overview
EN 12312-20:2005/prA1 (CEN) is a draft amendment to the European standard EN 12312-20:2005 covering aircraft ground support equipment - Part 20: Electrical ground power units (EGPUs). The amendment updates normative references, clarifies the relationship with the EN 1915 series of general requirements for aircraft ground support equipment, and aligns emergency‑stop and safety references with the latest ISO/CEN machinery safety standards. Annex ZB explains the standard’s relationship to EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Conformity with EN 1915 series: EGPUs shall be used and assessed in conjunction with EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (vibration), and EN 1915-4 (noise) unless otherwise specified.
- Safety and risk: References updated to EN ISO 12100:2003 (risk assessment and machine safety principles) for hazard analysis and protective measures.
- Emergency stop: Emergency stop requirements are aligned to EN ISO 13850:2008 and must meet category 0 or 1 performance for stop functionality.
- Verification and measurement: Verification methods for vibration and noise are tied to EN 1915-3 and EN 1915-4 as relevant to ensure compliant measurement and reduction practices.
- Regulatory relationship: Informative Annex ZB states that complying with the normative clauses (except 5.1.3 and 5.2.2) provides a presumption of conformity with essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive) once cited in the Official Journal and adopted nationally.
- Document status: This draft amendment was circulated for unique acceptance and is subject to change; it was issued in three official languages (EN/FR/DE).
Applications and intended users
This standard is practical for:
- Manufacturers and designers of electrical ground power units (EGPUs)
- Airport ground support equipment (GSE) suppliers and system integrators
- Safety engineers and compliance officers responsible for machine safety and EU conformity
- Procurement and maintenance teams at airlines and ground handling organizations
- Test laboratories and certification bodies conducting vibration, noise and safety verification
Typical applications include design validation, safety documentation, emergency‑stop design, noise and vibration testing, and demonstrating compliance with the Machinery Directive for EGPUs used in airport operations.
