EN 14873-2:2005 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard is the second part of a two-part standard, intended to establish a minimum level of se
24、rvice and performance, in enterprises dealing with the storage of furniture and personal effects, for private individuals. Together with Part 1 and EN 12522-1 and EN 12522-2 Furniture removal activities- Furniture removal for private individuals, it forms a suite of European Standards developed to e
25、nsure that appropriate, minimum, standard of services and facilities for the removal and storage of household furniture and effects for private individuals are available on an equal basis, across the European Community. Within each activity, it has been necessary to make a distinction between the “s
26、ervice“ 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 framework of the contract; include characteristics which allow this said service to be assessed; provision of the service: all
27、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 reference constitute a beneficial means of achieving the following objectives: create a dialogue with the consumers which i
28、s 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 an open market; protect customers against provision of services, the characteristics of which may not be in compliance with
29、 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; finally, as regards the single market, to allow the activity to position itself efficiently in order to meet the needs of the Eu
30、ropean customer by having at its disposal, in particular, harmonized general conditions of contract. EN 14873-2:2005 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies service activities designed to ensure a customer oriented service for the storage of furniture and personal effects for private individu
31、als.
