Overview

EN 12312-3:2003/prA1 is a CEN draft amendment addressing specific safety and technical requirements for conveyor belt vehicles used as part of aircraft ground support equipment (GSE). The amendment (prA1:2008) updates references, clarifies verification and measurement links, and aligns the original part 3 standard with newer machine-safety and measurement standards. It has been prepared by CEN/TC 274 and is intended to be used together with the EN 1915 series for GSE.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Specific requirements for conveyor belt vehicles within the broader EN 12312 family (aircraft ground support equipment).
• Standards alignment: Requires conformity with EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (vibration) and EN 1915-4 (noise) unless otherwise stated. References to older standards are updated to relevant EN ISO documents (for example EN ISO 12100 for machine safety principles and EN ISO 13850 for emergency stop design).
• Emergency stop: Emergency stop functions must meet EN ISO 13850:2008 Category 0 requirements (immediate stop).
• Verification and measurement: Adds cross-references to verification details in EN 1915-3 and EN 1915-4 for vibration and noise measurement and reduction.
• Conformity with EU Directives: Informative Annexes ZA and ZB describe the relationship to the Machinery Directives (98/37/EC and 2006/42/EC). Compliance with the normative clauses (with specified exceptions) provides a presumption of conformity with essential requirements of these directives.
• Document changes: The amendment lists multiple clause and annex modifications (Foreword, Introduction, Clauses 1–7, Annex B, ZA and bibliography), updating cross-references and normative citations.

Practical applications and users

Who uses EN 12312-3:

• Manufacturers of aircraft conveyor belt vehicles to design and certify safe GSE.
• Design engineers integrating safety, vibration and noise controls into conveyor vehicles.
• Compliance and QA teams ensuring conformity with EU Machinery Directive requirements.
• Airport operators and procurement evaluating technical compliance of supplied GSE.
• Test laboratories performing vibration, noise and safety verification per EN 1915-3/4.

Benefits: helps ensure operator safety, regulatory compliance, consistent verification methods, and harmonized design practices across Europe for conveyor belt vehicles used in aircraft servicing.

Related standards

• EN 12312-1/2 (other parts of aircraft GSE)
• EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (vibration), EN 1915-4 (noise)
• EN ISO 12100 (machine safety principles)
• EN ISO 13850 (emergency stop design)
• EN ISO 21182 (conveyor belt friction test)
