31、:2013 (E) 6 Introduction The abbreviation GSE means a complete item of aircraft ground support equipment in the context of this European Standard. When compiling this European Standard it was assumed that: a) GSE is operated only by competent persons on the airport ramp; b) components without specif
32、ic requirements are: 1) designed in accordance with good engineering practice and calculation codes; 2) of sound mechanical and electrical construction; 3) made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality; 4) made of materials free of defects; c) materials known to be harmful, such a
33、s asbestos, are not used as part of GSE; d) components are kept in good repair and working order, so that the required characteristics remain despite wear; e) by design of the load bearing elements, a safe operation of the machine is assured for loading ranges from zero to 100 % of the rated possibi
34、lities and during tests; f) the particular conditions of use and place of use have been established; g) the place of operation allows a safe use of GSE. The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this European Standard. Enumerations in this European Standard are not to be c
35、onsidered exclusive, they are compiled according to the present state of the art. The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, economical and usable GSE. Deviations should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing and thorough in servic
36、e evaluation have shown alternative methods or conditions to be satisfactory. Such deviations are outside the 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. BS EN 1915-
37、1:2013EN 1915-1:2013 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard applies to GSE when used in civil air transport as intended by the manufacturer and contains safety requirements relating to the equipment in general. This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed
38、in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of GSE 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 i
39、nto account some requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies. This part of EN 1915 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (for self-propelled GSE) and EN 1915-4, and
40、with the relevant part of EN 12312 to give the requirements for the types of GSE within the scope of EN 12312. When EN 12312 does not contain a relevant part for a GSE, EN 1915 (all parts) gives general requirements that may apply, although additional machine specific requirements, to be determined
41、by the manufacturer, are likely to be required. This part of EN 1915 does not apply to automotive parts approved for public vehicles in the EU and EFTA, when used on GSE for the purpose for which they are designed. This part of EN 1915 does not establish additional requirements for the following: a)
42、 operation elsewhere than in an airport environment; b) operation in severe conditions, e.g. ambient temperature below -20 C or over 50 C, tropical or saturated salty atmospheric environment, strong magnetic or radiation field; c) operation subject to special rules, e.g. potentially explosive atmosp
43、here except as regards operation in the vicinity of an aircraft fuel tank during fuelling operation; d) hazards caused by power supply other than from electrical networks; e) hazards occurring during construction, transportation, commissioning and decommissioning of the GSE; f) hazards caused by win
44、d velocity in excess of the figures given in this European Standard; g) direct contact with food stuffs; h) earthquake, flood, landslide, lightning and more generally any exceptional natural event; i) electromagnetic compatibility (EMC); j) hazards caused by noise and vibration, see EN 1915-3 and EN
45、 1915-4. While this standard gives some basic requirements for wireless remote controls, additional requirements will be necessary. This part of EN 1915 is not applicable to GSE which are manufactured before the date of publication by CEN of this Standard. BS EN 1915-1:2013EN 1915-1:2013 (E) 8 2 Nor
