26、2312-4:2014EN 12312-4:2014 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard specifies health and safety requirements, as well as some functional and performance requirements, for passenger boarding bridges (PBB) intended for passenger embarking/disembarking of all aircraft types commonly in service in civi
27、l air transport. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, serviceable, economical and practical PBB. Deviations from the recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and thorough service eva
28、luation have shown alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. This European Standard is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indicated in the scope of this document.
29、When provisions of this Type C standard are different from those which are 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 designed and built according to the provisions of this Type C stan
30、dard. Deviations from requirements do not fall within the presumption of conformity given by the standard. BS EN 12312-4:2014EN 12312-4:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimize the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning,
31、operation and maintenance of passenger boarding bridges (PBBs) when used as intended, including misuse reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorized representative. It also takes into account some requir
32、ements recognized as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies. This European Standard applies to: a) apron-drive bridges; b) fixed-head bridges (also referred to as nose-loaders) or pedestal bridges; c) suspended br
33、idges, for embarking/disembarking of passengers. It is applicable from the interface with the terminal building, which can be movable, e.g. on two levels to separate arrival and departure level to the connection with the aircraft including fixed tunnels. This European Standard does not apply to: d)
34、elevating lounges; e) passenger stairs; f) other form of aircraft access equipment; g) automatic PBB positioning. This European Standard does not establish requirements for hazards caused by noise and vibration. NOTE EN 19153 and EN 19154 provide the general GSE vibration and noise requirements. Thi
35、s part of EN 12312 is not applicable to PBBs which were manufactured before the date of publication of this standard by CEN. This part of EN 12312 when used in conjunction with EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2 and EN 1915-4 provides the requirements for PBBs. 2 Normative references The following documents, in w
