22、-1:2005 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is the first part of a two-part standard, intended to establish a minimum level of service and performance, in enterprises dealing with the storage of furniture and personal effects, for private individuals. Together with Part 2 and EN 12522-1 and EN
23、 12522-2 Furniture removal activities- Furniture removal for private individuals, it forms a suite of European Standards that specify a minimum standard of services and facilities for the removal and storage of household furniture and effects for private individuals that should be available on an eq
24、ual basis, across the European Community. Within each activity, it has been necessary to make a distinction between the “service“ on the one hand, and the “provision of the service“ on the other: the service: all the services agreed upon between the service provider and the customer within the frame
25、work of the contract; include characteristics which allow this said service to be assessed; provision of the service: all the factors employed by the service provider which include the personnel, the equipment, the organization and the budget with a view to carrying out the service. The systems of r
26、eference constitute a beneficial means of achieving the following objectives: create a dialogue with the consumers which is favourable to the profession; permit customers to identify and compare the services offered by companies in order to benefit from the positive spin-off of fair competition in a
27、n open market; protect customers against provision of services, the characteristics of which may not be in compliance with the standards; allow the professionals of the trade to conduct their activity with the aid of technical specifications that are clearly defined by a common understanding; finall
28、y, as regards the single market, to allow the activity to position itself efficiently in order to meet the needs of the European customer by having at its disposal, in particular, harmonized general conditions of contract. EN 14873-1:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies minimum requir
29、ements for the provision of storage facilities and related services, for furniture and personal effects belonging to private individuals and is applicable to all forms of such storage whatever the means of containment employed. This does not exclude its application to services and facilities provide
30、d for the storage of items of furniture in other ownership. Part 2 specifies service activities designed to ensure that such a service is customer oriented. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
