27、(E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements intended to ensure the safety and health of people when they use caravans for temporary or seasonal habitation. It also specifies the corresponding test methods. EN 1645-2 gives requirements relating to user payloads for caravans. Requireme
28、nts applicable to road safety are not included in the scope of this European Standard. This European Standard is applicable exclusively to rigid and rigid folding caravans as defined in EN 13878. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this
29、document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 721, Leisure accommodation vehicles Safety ventilation requirements EN 722-1, Leisure

33、 a rotating cylindrical drum device 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13878:2003 apply. 4 Testing The tests described in Annex A to N are intended to verify that a caravan representative of a given model, including its fixtures and fitti
34、ngs, meets the requirements of this European Standard. These tests are intended to simulate the most onerous conditions for the relevant characteristics. NOTE It is recommended to take environmental aspects into account during development, production and disposal of caravans based on established kno
35、wledge and within the respective technical possibilities (see also Annex O). BS EN 1645-1:2012EN 1645-1:2012 (E) 7 5 Design and construction 5.1 Occupancy The manufacturer shall designate the occupancy as the number of berths, both standard berths and additional berths, and shall include it in the U
36、sers Handbook and in his brochures. The occupancy is also needed to determine the ventilation requirements (see EN 721). 5.2 Rigidity When stationary, with the floor horizontal and all corner steadies extended to the ground, an upward thrust of 1 500 N applied to one corner steady for a duration of
37、15 min shall not cause the caravan to distort to an extent that would make any door or window difficult to open. Rigidity shall be tested in accordance with Annex A. 5.3 Corner steadies Each caravan shall be equipped with four steadies, one at each of its four corners. Each steady shall be retractab
38、le and adjustable in height. Each steady shall be capable, when extended, of carrying a load of not less than 25 % of the maximum technically permissible laden mass of the caravan. An appropriate operating tool shall be provided. A certificate, from the corner steady manufacturer or supplier shall a
39、ccompany the caravan to be tested showing, either by calculation or by test, the loading capability of each type of corner steady. 5.4 Grab handles Four external grab handles for manoeuvring the caravan shall be located externally to the body work, one on each side at the front and one on each side
40、at the rear. For those caravans with a maximum technically permissible laden mass not exceeding 750 kg, two grab handles at the front of the caravan one on each side are sufficient. The hand clearance aperture of each grab handle shall be not less than 30 mm 120 mm. The grab handles shall be tested
41、according to Annex B. There shall be no visible permanent deformation or loosening of the grab handle and/or of its fixings. 5.5 Entrance steps 5.5.1 Heights When the entrance height of the caravan, measured at maximum technically permissible laden mass, and standing on horizontal ground, exceeds 40
42、0 mm, the caravan shall either be fitted with an entrance step, attachable or integral with the structure of the caravan, or a separate entrance step(s) shall be provided. The rise of the first tread shall not exceed 400 mm. The rise of any other tread shall not exceed 300 mm. It is recommended that
43、 all separate step(s) be attached to the caravan when in use to improve their stability. It is recommended that the rise of the steps be equal. 5.5.2 Minimum tread dimensions The minimum tread dimensions shall be: a) attachable or integral entrance steps: 150 mm going x 320 mm wide; BS EN 1645-1:201
44、2EN 1645-1:2012 (E) 8 b) separate steps: 270 mm going x 450 mm wide. 5.5.3 Mechanical strength An entrance step and any fixing devices shall be capable of withstanding a force of 2 000 N applied to any surface area of 100 mm 150 mm of the tread. After application of this force for a period of 5 min,
45、 any permanent deformation caused shall not exceed 5 mm. The strength of each step shall be tested in accordance with Annex C. 5.5.4 Slip resistance test 5.5.4.1 Attachable or integral step An attachable or integral step shall have a slip resistant surface. The slip resistance shall be tested in acc
46、ordance with Annex D. 5.5.4.2 Separate entrance step A separate step shall have a slip resistant surface. The slip resistant surface shall be tested in accordance with Annex D after having immobilised the feet or base of the step. In addition, a separate step shall remain stable when tested in accor
47、dance with Annex E. 5.6 Doors 5.6.1 Dimensions Exterior door openings for rigid caravans shall have a minimum clear height of 1 590 mm and a minimum clear width of 480 mm and corners of maximum radius of 90 mm. The locking system may intrude on the minimum width up to 30 mm and for a maximum height
48、of 150 mm, regardless of the number of locks. Exterior door openings for rigid folding caravans including caravans with an elevating roof shall have a minimum clear height of 1 300 mm and a minimum clear width of 480 mm and corners of maximum radius of 90 mm. The locking system may intrude on the mi
49、nimum width up to 30 mm and for a maximum height of 150 mm, regardless of the number of locks. 5.6.2 Securing doors Each exterior door shall be fitted with a locking device capable of keeping it closed when subjected to all forces caused by the movement of the vehicle in normal traffic conditions. Interior doors shall be capable of being kept in a fixed position, open or closed, in the above conditio
