Firefighting and rescue service vehicles - Part 2: Common requirements - Safety and performance

This part of this European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for safety and performance of firefighting and rescue service vehicles as designated in EN 1846-1:1998.
NOTE 1   Categories and mass classes of these vehicles are given in EN 1846-1:1998.
Firefighting and rescue service vehicles normally use a commercial chassis-cab or vehicle. A special chassis may be used for specialised vehicles to meet particular requirements.
NOTE 2   Both chassis and vehicle are considered to be standard commercially available items when the manufacturer proposes them for sale in all their standard or special versions, on the basis of catalogues distributed via its commercial network, including chassis and vehicles that are manufactured solely for fire service use.
Further requirements for aerial appliances are contained within other European Standards (see prEN 1777:1994 Hydraulic platforms for fire fighting and rescue services - Safety requirements and testing, prEN 14043:2000 Automatic turntable ladders for fire service use - Requirements and test methods and prEN14044:2000 Semi - automatic turntable ladders for fire service use - Requirements and test methods).
%NOTE 3   Additional regulations, not dealt with in this document, may apply in relation with the use of the vehicles on public roads.&
For the purpose of this part of this European Standard, the normal ambient temperature range is - 15 °C to + 35 °C.
NOTE 4   In the case of utilisation outside this temperature range, the particular temperature range should be specified by the customer.
1.2 This part of this European Standard does not apply to:
-    personnel carrying vehicles;
-    vehicles with a gross laden mass not exceeding 2 t;
-    boats;
-    aircraft;
-    trains;
-    ambulances;
-    airport vehicles complying with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) recommendations.

NOTE 1 General technical information on means to design low-noise machinery are given in EN ISO 11688-1:1998. NOTE 2 If it is not possible to achieve the noise reduction at the source, the manufacturer should, whenever practical, equip the machine with devices such as noise enclosures, silencers. EN ISO 11546:1995 and %EN ISO 11820:1996& give methods for measuring the acoustical performance of enclosures and silencers respectively NOTE 3 Considering the tasks assigned to the operators of firefighting and rescue vehicles, reduction of exposure to noise cannot be achieved by the use of hearing protectors. 5.2 Performance requirements 5.2.1 General The vehicle shall be delivered with the set of vehicle equipment as supplied by the chassis manufacturer. 5.2.1.1 Geometric dimensions Vehicles at their gross laden mass (GLM) shall comply with the requirements given in Table 6.
