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 baggage and equipment tractors, when used as in-tended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably forseeable by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some performance requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies.
This European Standard applies to self propelled baggage and equipment tractors with driver accommodation.
Examples of some typical baggage and equipment tractors are shown in Annex A.
This European Standard does not apply to pedestrian controlled equipment.
Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in EN 1915 4 and EN 1915 3.
This European Standard does not deal with hazards in respect to a standard automotive chassis and from other vehi-cles on the apron.
This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to baggage and equipment tractors manufactured before the date of publica-tion by CEN of this standard.

This European Standard is intended for use in conjunction with EN 1915-1. The Parts of EN 12312 — Aircraft ground support equipment — Specific requirements — are: Part 1: Passenger stairs Part 2: Catering vehicles Part 3: Conveyor belt vehicles Part 4: Passenger boarding bridges Part 5: Aircraft fuelling equipment Part 6: Deicers and deicing/antiicing equipment Part 7: Aircraft movement equipment Part 8: Maintenance stairs and platforms Part 9: Container/Pallet loaders Part 10: Container/Pallet transfer transporters Part 11: Container/Pallet dollies and loose load trailers Part 12: Potable water service equipment Part 13: Lavatory service equipment Part 14: Disabled/Incapacitated passenger boarding equipment Part 15: Baggage and equipment tractors Part 16: Air start equipment Part 17: Air conditioning equipment Part 18: Nitrogen or Oxygen units Part 19: Aircraft jacks, axle jacks and hydraulic tail stanchions Part 20: Electrical ground power units According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following coun-tries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Esto-nia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 12312-15:2006 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard defines health and safety requirements as well as some functional and performance requirements for baggage and equipment tractors intended for towing equipment and baggage/cargo trailers on airports. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, serviceable, economical and practical baggage and equipment tractors. Deviations from the recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and thorough in service evaluation have shown alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. This European Standard is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2003. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indi-cated in the scope of this European Standard. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been de-signed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.

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 baggage and equipment tractors, when used as in-tended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably forseeable by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some performance requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies. This European Standard applies to self-propelled baggage and equipment tractors with driver accommodation. Examples of some typical baggage and equipment tractors are shown in Annex A. This European Standard does not apply to pedestrian controlled equipment. Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in EN 1915-4 and EN 1915-3. This European Standard does not deal with hazards in respect to a standard automotive chassis and from other vehi-cles on the apron. This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to baggage and equipment tractors manufactured before the date of publica-tion by CEN of this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.
