BS EN 12312-9:2013EN 12312-9:2013 (E) 5 Introduction This
28、European Standard specifies health and safety requirements for container/pallet loaders intended for loading/unloading of unit loads with the exception of bulk material for all aircraft types commonly in service in civil air transport. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary i
29、mportance in providing safe, serviceable, economical and practical container/pallet loaders. Deviations from the recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and thorough service evaluation have shown alternative methods or conditions to be s
30、atisfactory. Such deviations are outside the scope of this standard and a manufacturer should be able to demonstrate an equivalent level of protection. This document is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and even
31、ts are covered are indicated 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 desig
32、ned and built according to the provisions of this Type C standard. Deviations from requirements do not fall within the presumption of conformity given by the standard. For information, a summary of equipment functional design requirements covered by International Standards, e.g. ISO 6967 and ISO 696
33、8, and IATA Airport Handling Manual, is given in Annex B. BS EN 12312-9:2013EN 12312-9:2013 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of container/pa
34、llet loaders 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 takes into account some requirements recognised as essential by authorities, air
35、craft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies. This document applies to: a) Container/Pallet loader (self-propelled) single platform; b) Container/Pallet loader (self-propelled) two or more platforms; c) Container/Pallet loader/transporter (self-pro
36、pelled); d) Container/Pallet loader/transfer platform (towed). This document does not establish requirements for noise and vibration. NOTE 1 EN 1915-3 and EN 1915-4 provide the general GSE noise and vibration requirements. This standard does not deal with hazards in respect to a standard automotive
37、chassis and from other vehicles on the apron. This part of EN 12312 is not applicable to container/pallet loaders which are manufactured before the date of publication of this standard by CEN. NOTE 2 Certain measurements have been given in imperial units (in parentheses) following the metric measure
38、ments since the containers/pallets to be handled are based mainly on the imperial system. 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 container/pallet loaders. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole
39、 or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
