Standards Development
This document specifies the common requirements for safety and the (minimum) common performance requirements of firefighting and rescue service vehicles as designated in EN 1846-1.
NOTE 1 Categories and mass classes of these vehicles are given in EN 1846-1.
When drafting this document, it has been assumed that the finished standard automotive chassis (or the chassis designed in accordance with the same principles) that is the basis for the firefighting or rescue vehicle, offers an acceptable safety level for its basic transport functions within the limits specified by the manufacturer. Therefore, this document does not formulate requirements for this chassis.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to firefighting and rescue service vehicles, when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
This proposal corresponds to the revision of EN 1846-2:2009+A1:2013 prepared by CEN/TC 192/WG 3.
EN 1846-2:2009+A1:2013 has been submitted to the systematic review in April 2018. In accordance with the majority, the standard has been confirmed despite 5 members in favour of the revision, 6 members willing to participate and technical comments submitted. Experts of WG 3 considered carefully the comments and decided that the revision was necessary.
CEN/TC 192/WG 3 hold 3 meetings to prepare the amended text which is now submitted as new work item for addition as an active project in the work program of CEN/TC 192.
All technical modifications are listed in the foreword and the amended parts of the text are underlined in Yelow.
