Diese Europäische Norm legt die technischen Anforderungen zur Minimierung der in Abschnitt 4 aufgelisteten
Gefährdungen fest, die bei Inbetriebnahme, Betrieb und Wartung von Förderbandwagen 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:
⎯ selbstfahrende Förderbandwagen mit oder ohne Fahrerplatz;
⎯ selbstfahrende Förderbandwagen mit geschlossenem Aufbau;
⎯ schleppbare Förderbandwagen,
die dafür bestimmt sind, Luftfahrzeuge von Hand zu be- und entladen.
Beispiele für typische Förderbandwagen sind in Anhang A enthalten.
Diese Norm gilt nicht für pneumatische Systeme und für drahtlose Fernsteuerungen.
Diese Norm enthält keine Festlegungen für Gefährdungen, die durch Lärm und Vibration verursacht werden.
Dieser Teil von EN 12312 gilt nicht für Förderbandwagen, 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

Introduction This European Standard specifies health and safety requirements, as well as some functional and performance requirements, for conveyor belt vehicles intended for loading/unloading of individual items of baggage or cargo for 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 conveyor belt vehicles. 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 conveyor belt vehicles when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies. This standard applies to:  self-propelled conveyor belt vehicles with or without driver's accommodation;  self-propelled conveyor belt vehicles equipped with a van body;
 towed conveyor belt vehicles, Intended to be used for manual loading/unloading of aircraft. Examples of typical designs of conveyor belt vehicles are given in annex A. This standard does not apply to pneumatic systems and to cableless remote controls. This standard does not establish requirements for hazards caused by noise and vibration. This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to conveyor belt vehicles 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.

Special attention shall be paid to travel conditions. 5.1.5 The electrical system of battery powered conveyor belt vehicles shall conform to !EN 1175-1", with the exception of standard automotive chassis. 5.1.6 The boom shall protrude front and rear. NOTE Therefore the overall length of the conveyor belt vehicle is defined by the overall boom length. 5.1.7 The conveyor belt vehicle shall be capable of servicing any aircraft sill height, for which it is designed, with the opposite end not higher than 760 mm from the intended loading level(s). 5.1.8 Where adjustment of elevation of both ends of the boom is provided it shall be possible to adjust the ends independent from each other. 5.1.9 It shall be possible to gain access to servicing points, e.g. dipstick, fluid replenishment points, without operating the power source; even with the boom in the lowest position. 5.1.10 All sharp edges or corners resulting from the manufacturing process shall be chamfered or rounded with a minimum radius of 1 mm. 5.1.11 Where a sprung front axle is used, the suspension shall be restricted so as to limit vertical movement at the front end of the boom, when the conveyor belt vehicle is being driven, e.g. by using shock absorbers. 5.1.12 Where power operated stabilizers are provided, it shall be possible to retract the stabilizers in the event of primary power loss by auxiliary means, e.g. hand pump. 5.1.13 Structural parts or stabilizers of pedestrian controlled self-propelled conveyor belt vehicles shall not protrude from the overall length within the operating range of the tiller. 5.1.14 Where lights for the illumination of working areas are fitted, their design shall conform to !EN 1837". The minimum electrical power of the lamp shall be 25 W. 5.1.15 Self-propelled vehicles with driver's cabin shall have an alternative means of exit in the event of an emergency.
