Overview

SIST EN 12312-17:2005/kprA1:2008 is a European standard developed by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 274 focusing on aircraft ground support equipment (GSE), specifically on the air conditioning equipment used in this sector. This amendment to the original EN 12312-17:2004 standard updates safety and performance requirements to ensure compliance with current safety and machinery directives within the EU. The standard aligns with broader machinery safety standards and harmonizes with related parts of EN 1915 series, providing essential guidelines for manufacturers and operators of air conditioning units in ground support operations.

This standard supports safe, efficient, and reliable air conditioning solutions critical for aircraft ground handling, contributing to improved operational conditions on airports and maintenance facilities.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application: Defines specific requirements for air conditioning equipment used in aircraft ground support operations, ensuring compatibility with general equipment safety and performance standards.
• Safety Requirements: Incorporates updated safety machinery principles referencing EN ISO 12100, EN ISO 13850 for emergency stops, and EN ISO 13857 for safety distances, ensuring machinery design minimizes risk to operators.
• Equipment Performance: Air conditioning equipment must comply with the EN 1915 series, specifically:
  • EN 1915-1 and EN 1915-2 covering general requirements and safety for ground support vehicles.
  • EN 1915-3 and EN 1915-4 addressing vibration and noise measurement and reduction.
• Regulatory Compliance: Harmonized with EU Directive 2006/42/EC on machinery, providing presumption of conformity for manufacturers meeting the normative clauses.
• Testing and Verification: Reference to vibration and noise testing standards ensures equipment performance under real ground support conditions.
• Documentation and Updates: Amendment modifies references and technical requirements consistent with evolving safety and machinery standards.

Applications

• Airport Ground Handling: Ensures air conditioning units used to service aircraft on the tarmac or in hangars meet stringent safety and operational standards.
• Aircraft Maintenance Facilities: Supports the provision of safe climate control for maintenance personnel and sensitive equipment.
• Ground Support Equipment Manufacturers: Provides clear compliance requirements to design, manufacture, and certify air conditioning machinery for aircraft servicing.
• Safety Compliance and Risk Management: Helps airport operators and ground service providers minimize risks associated with air conditioning equipment during ground operations.
• Environmental Control Solutions: Promotes effective climate solutions tailored for airport ground support environments, enhancing comfort and equipment longevity.

Related Standards

• EN 1915 Series: General and safety requirements for aircraft ground support equipment including vehicles (Parts 1-4).
• EN ISO 12100: Safety of machinery - General principles for design and risk assessment.
• EN ISO 13857: Safety distances to prevent hazard zones from being reached.
• EN ISO 13850: Principles for emergency stop design.
• EN 779: Air filter testing to ensure proper air quality and filtration consistency.
• ISO 1034: Standard related to dimensions and tolerances for filters and airflow components.

SIST EN 12312-17:2005/kprA1:2008 is critical within the ecosystem of standards regulating aircraft ground support equipment. Its adoption ensures that air conditioning equipment is designed to meet current safety norms while providing reliable performance essential to airport operational efficiency and workforce safety.
