This European Standard specifies requirements intended to ensure the safety and health of persons when they use motor caravans for temporary or seasonal habitation. It also specifies the corresponding test methods. However, certain requirements of this European Standard do not apply to motor caravans where the overall length multiplied by the overall width does not exceed 13,5 m2 plan area. EN 1646-2 gives requirements relating to user payloads for motor caravans. Requirements applicable to road safety are not included in the scope of this European Standard. This European Standard is applicable exclusively to motor caravans as defined in EN 13878.
