Introduction
This European Standard specifies health and safety requirements, as well as some functional and performance
requirements, for catering vehicles intended for cabin re-supply and servicing or loading and unloading of catering
equipment and supplies on all aircraft types commonly in service in civil air transport.
The minimum essential criteria are considered to be of primary importance in providing safe, serviceable, economical,
and practical catering vehicles. Deviations from the recommended criteria should occur only after careful
consideration, extensive testing, risk assessment and thorough service evaluation have shown alternative methods or
conditions to be satisfactory.
This European Standard is a Type C standard as stated in EN 1070:1998.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in clause 4 which can
arise during the commissioning, the operation and the maintenance of catering vehicles when carried out in
accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It also takes into
account some requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE)
manufacturers as well as airlines and handling agencies.
This standard applies to self-propelled catering vehicles, with seated driver, equipped with a liftable van body.
Examples of catering vehicles are shown in annex A. Vehicles of a similar design within the load limits of this
standard used as GSE for other purposes e.g. cleaning equipment, exchange of aircraft seats, are also covered by
this European Standard.
This standard does not apply to pneumatic systems.
This standard does not establish requirements for hazards caused by noise and vibration.
This Part of EN 12312 is not applicable to catering vehicles which are manufactured before the date of publication
of this standard by CEN.
