BS EN 1915-1:2001+A1:2009 applies to GSE when used in civil air transport as intended by the manufacturer and contains safety requirements relating to the equipment in general.

BS EN 1915-1:2001+A1:2009 deals with the technical requirements to minimize the hazards listed in clause 4 which can arise during operation and maintenance of GSE as intended by the manufacturer or his authorised representative.

BS EN 1915-1:2001+A1:2009 is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1915-2, EN 1915-3 (for vehicles) and EN 1915-4, and with the relevant part of EN 12312."

BS EN 1915-1:2001+A1:2009 does not apply to unmodified automotive parts when used on GSE for the purpose for which they are designed.

BS EN 1915-1:2001+A1:2009 does not establish additional requirements for the following:

- operation elsewhere than in an airport environment;

- operation in severe conditions, e.g. ambient temperature below -20 C or over 50 C, tropical or saturated salty atmospheric environment, strong magnetic or radiation field;

- operation subject to special rules, e.g. potentially explosive atmosphere except as regards operation in the vicinity of an aircraft fuel tank during fuelling operation;

- hazards caused by power supply other than from electrical networks;

- hazards occurring during construction, transportation, commissioning and decommissioning of the GSE;

- hazards caused by wind velocity in excess of the figures given in this European Standard;

- direct contact with food stuffs;

- earthquake, flood, landslide, lightning and more generally any natural catastrophe;

- electromagnetic compatibility (EMC);

- cableless remote control;

- hazards caused by noise and vibration, see EN 1915-3 and EN 1915-4;"
