1.1This European Standard specifies the safety and performance requirements and test methods applicable to turntable ladders with sequential movements of classes 18, 24 and 30, as defined in 3.13, under the control of firefighters and intended for fire fighting and rescuing people.
NOTEThis European Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1846-1, EN 1846-2 and EN 1846-3.
Turntable ladder vehicles comprise a chassis, bodywork and a powered extending structure unit in the form of a ladder with or without a cage.
Turntable ladder vehicles covered by this European Standard have a self-propelled chassis, the motor of which supplies the power required for the operation of the ladder. They do not permit operational movements to be made simultaneously.
1.2This European Standard deals with the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, the operational use and the routine checking and maintenance of turntable ladders when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or the manufacturer authorised representative.
It also deals with performance requirements.
1.3This European Standard deals with the use of turntable ladder vehicles within a temperature range from - 15 °C to + 35 °C and with a wind velocity on the ladder set
