Overview

SIST EN 12312-6:2004/kprA1:2008 is a European standard developed by the Technical Committee CEN/TC 274 focusing on aircraft ground support equipment, specifically addressing the requirements for deicers and deicing/antiicing equipment. This amendment aims to update and refine safety and performance guidelines to ensure effective and safe ground operations during cold weather conditions for aircraft.

This standard supports compliance with relevant EU Directives, notably the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, facilitating conformity with essential health and safety requirements. It is linked with related standards and technical committees to cover general safety, noise, vibration, and ergonomic concerns associated with ground support machinery.

Key Topics

• Scope and Integration
  EN 12312-6 is intended to be used alongside other parts of EN 1915 (Parts 1-4), which cover general and specific requirements, vibration, and noise reduction for ground support equipment vehicles.

• Safety Requirements
  The standard incorporates updated references to international safety standards such as EN ISO 12100 for machinery safety design principles and EN ISO 13850:2008 for emergency stop functions. This ensures deicing equipment adheres to contemporary safety protocols.

• Performance and Functional Modifications
  Alignments with the revised methods for deicing/antiicing fluids as outlined in ISO 11076:2006. This updates fluid handling and operational procedures to reflect current aircraft maintenance practices.

• Technical Specifications
  Adjustments in measurement and verification methods for noise and vibration as harmonized with EN 1915-3 and EN 1915-4 to reduce occupational hazards for ground personnel.

• Ergonomics and Surface Safety
  References updated to EN ISO 13732-1 (ergonomics of thermal environments) to govern contact temperature limits of equipment surfaces, preventing operator injury.

• Amendment and Review Process
  The document is currently under unique acceptance, emphasizing ongoing alignment with evolving EU regulations and best practices.

Applications

The standard is crucial for manufacturers, operators, and maintenance personnel involved with aircraft ground support equipment, primarily:

• Deicers and Deicing/Antiicing Vehicles
  Ensures reliable and safe removal of ice, frost, and snow from aircraft surfaces to maintain flight safety.

• Ground Service Equipment Design and Safety
  Guides design engineers in incorporating safety features and performance criteria into new and existing deicing equipment.

• Operational Safety Management
  Supports airport ground staff in implementing standardized procedures that minimize mechanical and environmental risks during deicing operations.

• Regulatory Compliance
  Provides a technical basis for demonstrating conformity with European machinery safety legislation and complementary national standards.

Related Standards

• EN 1915 Series

  • Part 1: General requirements for ground support equipment
  • Part 2: Safety requirements for vehicles
  • Part 3: Vibration measurement methods and reduction
  • Part 4: Noise measurement methods and reduction

• EN ISO 12100

  • Basic concepts and general principles for machinery safety design

• EN ISO 13850:2008

  • Emergency stop design principles for machinery

• ISO 11076:2006

  • Aircraft deicing/antiicing methods with fluids

• EN ISO 13732-1

  • Ergonomic assessment of thermal surface contact

These standards collectively ensure that aircraft ground support, especially in deicing and antiicing, is conducted safely, efficiently, and in compliance with international best practices and legal requirements.
