Overview

This European Standard specifies the technical requirements to minimize the hazards listed in Clause 4 which can arise during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of potable water service equipment when used as intended, including misuse reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer, when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorized representative. It also takes into account some requirements recognized 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 potable water vehicles, towable potable water vehicles as well as moveable parts of ramp integrated systems, designed for servicing aircraft and intended to be used under the conditions given in EN 1915-1:2013, Clause 1.
