0 Introduction
The abbreviation GSE means a complete item of aircraft ground support equipment in the context of this
European Standard.
When compiling this European Standard it was assumed that:
- GSE is operated only by competent persons on the airport ramp;
- components without specific requirements are:
a) designed in accordance with the usual engineering practice and calculation codes;
b) of sound mechanical and electrical construction;
c) made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality;
d) made of materials free of defects;
- materials known to be harmful, such as asbestos, are not used as part of GSE;
- components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain despite
wear;
- by design of the load bearing elements, a safe operation of the machine is assured for loading ranges
from zero to 100 % of the rated possibilities and during tests;
- a negotiation took place between the user and the manufacturer concerning particular conditions for the
use and places of use of the GSE;
- the place of operation allows a safe use of GSE.
The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this European Standard.
Enumerations in this European Standard are not to be considered exclusive, they are compiled according to
the present state of the art.
The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, economical and
usable GSE. Deviation from the recommended methods and conditions should occur only after careful
consideration, extensive testing and thorough in service evaluation have shown alternative methods or
conditions to be satisfactory.
This European Standard is a Type C standard as defined in EN 1070 : 1998.
1 Scope
This Part of EN 1915 applies to GSE when used in civil air transport as intended by the manufacturer and
contains safety requirements relating to the equipment in general.
This Part of EN 1915 deals with the technical requirements to minimize the hazards listed in clause 4 which
can arise during operation and maintenance of GSE as intended by the manufacturer or his authorised
representative.
This Part of EN 1915 should be used together with the specific standard of the EN 12312 series for the
specific type of GSE (see also Foreword).
This Part of EN 1915 does not apply to unmodified automotive parts when used on GSE for the purpose for
which they are designed.
Page 5
This Part of EN 1915 does not establish additional requirements for the following:
- operation elsewhere than in an airport environment;
- operation in severe conditions, e.g. ambient temperature below -20 C or over 50 C, tropical or saturated
salty atmospheric environment, strong magnetic or radiation field;
- operation subject to special rules, e.g. potentially explosive atmosphere except as regards operation in
the vicinity of an aircraft fuel tank during fuelling operation;
- hazards caused by power supply other than from electrical networks;
- hazards occuring during construction, transportation, commissioning and decommissioning of the GSE;
- hazards caused by wind velocity in excess of the figures given in this European Standard;
- direct contact with food stuffs;
- earthquake, flood, landslide, lightning and more generally any natural catastrophe;
- electromagnetic compatibility (EMC);
- cableless remote control;
- hazards caused by noise and vibration;
- hazards caused by errors in the software.
This Part of EN 1915 is not applicable to GSE which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN
of this Standard.
