25、 12312-1:2013EN 12312-1:2013 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard defines health and safety requirements, for stairs including a built-in source of power (see Clause 1, Scope) intended for passengers embarking/disembarking aircraft. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary
26、 importance in providing safe, serviceable, economical, and practical passenger stairs. Deviations should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and service evaluation have shown alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. Such deviations are outside the
27、 scope of this standard and a manufacturer should be able to demonstrate an equivalent level of protection. This European standard is a Type C standard as defined in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indic
28、ated in the scope of this document. 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
29、to the provisions of this Type C standard. Deviations from requirements do not fall within the presumption of conformity given by the standard. BS EN 12312-1:2013EN 12312-1:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which
30、 can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of passenger stairs 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 authorised representative. It also ta
31、kes into account some 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: a) self-propelled stairs with seated driver; b) pedestrian controlled stairs; c) towable
32、stairs equipped with powered means, e.g. for height adjustment, stabilisers; d) automatic levelling systems of stairs for embarking/disembarking of passengers. “Powered“ should also be understood as manual effort stored in springs or hydraulic accumulators, etc., the dangerous action of which can be
33、 produced or can continue after the manual effort has ceased or directly applied manual effort for lifting or lowering loads. Those clauses of this standard that can apply may also be used as a guideline for the design of towable stairs without powered means. This European Standard does not establis
34、h additional requirements for the following: 1) persons falling out of an aircraft with the passenger stairs not in position; 2) hazards resulting from a moving stairway (escalator); 3) upper deck door access. This part of EN 12312 is not applicable to passenger stairs which are manufactured before
35、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, EN 1915-3 and EN 1915-4 provides the requirements for passenger stairs. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this d
