20、ropean Standards for caravans, motor caravans and caravan holiday homes. Figure 1 Overview of relevant European Standards applying to leisure accommodation vehicles BS EN 1647:2012EN 1647:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements intended to ensure safety and health of persons
21、 using caravan holiday homes as defined in 3.1, as temporary or seasonal accommodation. It specifies grades of resistance to snow loads and the stability of the structure of caravan holiday homes as well as the minimum information to be included in a Users Handbook. It also specifies the correspondi
22、ng test methods. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this 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 (in
23、cluding any amendments) applies.

25、For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13878:2003 and the following apply. 3.1 caravan holiday home transportable leisure accommodation vehicle that does not meet requirements for construction and use of road vehicles, that retains means for mobility and that is for
26、 temporary or seasonal occupation 4 Testing The tests described in Annexes A to I, are intended to verify that a caravan holiday home representative of a given model including its fixtures and fittings, meets the requirements of this European Standard. These tests are intended to simulate the most o
27、nerous 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 knowledge and within the respective technical possibilities (see also Annex J).

28、012 (E) 6 5 Design and construction 5.1 Occupancy The manufacturer shall designate the occupancy as the number of berths, both standard and additional berths, provided by the manufacturer and shall include it in the Users Handbook and his brochures. The occupancy is also necessary to determine the v
29、entilation requirements (see EN 721). 5.2 Ceiling height The ceiling height, measured internally from finished floor level to underside of finished ceiling, shall be not less than 1 980 mm. The finished floor level shall be measured from the upper surface of any continuous fixed floor covering. This
30、 includes any vinyl carpet backing but not carpet pile. 5.3 Glazed Areas The living area, the area for meals and the kitchen shall each be provided with windows, the total glazed areas of which shall be equivalent to not less than 10 % of their respective floor areas. Sleeping accommodation shall be
31、 provided with glazed area not less than 5 % of the floor areas. An exterior glazed area can be classed as a window for this purpose. Glazed areas to the living area, the area for meals and the kitchen shall have an openable area equivalent to 5 % of each respective floor area (see also 10.1.6). The
32、 floor area of the unit should be calculated from the total internal floor area excluding partition walls and separate fixed compartments which extend the full internal height of the unit. All floor area covered by fixed or loose furniture that does not extend the full height of the unit should be c
33、ounted into the area. Transparent or translucent roof lights may be classed as glazed area. 5.4 Doors At least one exterior door which opens outwards shall be provided. Sliding doors will be deemed to be acceptable provided that the sliding operation of the door is not obstructed by a permanent fitt
34、ing and the door, when open, does not obstruct any emergency exit. 5.5 Glazing Glass in external windows, panels and doors that are less than 800 mm above finished floor level shall be safety glazing. NOTE Pending harmonized European requirements for the assessment of the safety glazing, attention i
35、s drawn to national requirements which may apply. 5.6 Kitchen location When a separate kitchen compartment is provided, that can be closed off from other parts of the caravan holiday home by fully closing doors, there shall be two doors, separated by a space, ventilated to the exterior, between the
36、kitchen and the toilet compartment. 5.7 Classification of thermal insulation and heating The thermal insulation and heating levels for specific climatic conditions shall be classified as follows: BS EN 1647:2012EN 1647:2012 (E) 7 a) grade 1: A caravan holiday home, including windows, doors and roof
37、lights in which the average thermal transmittance (U) of the elements of construction shall not exceed 1,7 W/(m2. K). There is no heating requirement for this grade; b) grade 2: A caravan holiday home, including windows, doors and roof lights in which the average thermal transmittance (U) of the ele
38、ments of construction shall not exceed 1,7 W/(m2 . K); An average temperature difference of at least 20 K between inside and outside temperatures shall be achieved in lounge, dining room and kitchen, when the outside temperature is 0 C; c) grade 3: A caravan holiday home, including windows, doors an
39、d roof lights in which the average thermal transmittance (U) of the elements of construction shall not exceed 1,2 W/(m2. K). An average temperature difference of at least 35 K between inside and outside temperatures shall be achieved in all rooms, except the toilet compartment, when the outside temp
40、erature is 15 C. Precautions shall be taken to ensure that all water services still operate when the outside temperature is 15 C. For grade 1, the average thermal transmittance (U) shall be calculated in accordance with the relevant parts of Annex A. For grades 2 and 3, the average thermal transmitt
41、ance (U value) and heating requirements shall be calculated in accordance with Annex A. 5.8 Roof space ventilation Where there is an air gap between the external roof skin and the insulation material this air gap shall be ventilated to the external air. If space allows, one high level ventilator and
42、 one low level ventilator shall be provided. 5.9 Underfloor Underfloor insulation, if provided, shall be protected to reduce the possibility of degradation by birds or other animals (for example: rodents). 5.10 Fire behaviour of materials NOTE Pending harmonized European requirements for the assessm
43、ent of the fire behaviour of materials, attention is drawn to national requirements which may apply. 5.11 Stability (resistance to overturning) Caravan holiday homes of all grades shall be provided with suitable holding-down points, each capable of resisting 10 kN. Holding down points shall be locat
44、ed at (1 000 200) mm from the ends of the main longitudinal chassis members at each corner of the caravan holiday home. The manufacturer shall indicate the position of the holding down points in the Users Handbook. 5.12 Structural classification of caravan holiday homes The structure of a caravan ho
45、liday home shall be graded according to its ability to withstand one of the following snow loadings: BS EN 1647:2012EN 1647:2012 (E) 8 a) grade A: A caravan holiday home Grade A resting on its normal supports as defined by the manufacturer shall be capable of resisting a snow load of 750 Pa1), exert
46、ed uniformly over the roof; b) grade B: a caravan holiday home Grade B resting on its normal supports as defined by the manufacturer shall be capable of resisting a snow load of 1 500 Pa1), exerted uniformly over the roof; c) grade C: A caravan holiday home Grade C resting on its normal supports as
47、defined by the manufacturer shall be capable of resisting a snow load of 2 000 Pa1), exerted uniformly over the roof; d) grade D: A caravan holiday home Grade D resting on its normal supports as defined by the manufacturer shall be capable of resisting a snow load of 3 000 Pa1), exerted uniformly ov
48、er the roof. Compliance can be verified either by the submission of the calculations of a qualified structural engineer or by testing in accordance with Annex B. The structure is considered to have passed the test if it remained safe and returned to an acceptable condition on removal of the load app
49、lied. To satisfy the requirement of “remain safe”, all designated means of escape egress from the unit (doors and windows) shall function during and after the test. 6 Internal equipment 6.1 Bunks 6.1.1 Mattress and/or upholstery Bunks shall be provided with mattresses or be upholstered. 6.1.2 Clearance The clear width of a bunk shall be not less than 500 mm. The clear height over two-thirds of the surface area of the bunk shall be not less than 500 mm when measured from t
