This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of baggage and equipment tractors, when used as in-tended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably forseeable by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into account some performance requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies.This European Standard applies to self propelled baggage and equipment tractors with driver accommodation.Examples of some typical baggage and equipment tractors are shown in Annex A.This European Standard does not apply to pedestrian controlled equipment.Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in EN 1915 4 and EN 1915 3.This European Standard does not deal with hazards in respect to a standard automotive chassis and from other vehi-cles on the apron.This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to baggage and equipment tractors manufactured before the date of publica-tion by CEN of this standard.This part of EN 12312 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1915-1, EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (for vehicles) and EN 1915-4.
