BRITISH STANDARD BS EN 1846-2:2001 +A3:2009 Incorporating corrigendum March 2005 Firefighting and rescue service vehicles Part 2: Common requirements Safety and performance ICS 13.220.10 ? BS EN 1846-2:2001+A3:2009 This British Standard, having been prepared under the direction of the Health and Environment Sector Policy and Strategy Committee, was published under the authority of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee on 16 October 2002 © BSI 2009 ISBN 978 0 580 62801 6 National foreword This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 1846-2:2001+A3:2009. It supersedes BS EN 1846-2:2001, including amendments A1:2004 and A2:2006. EN 1846-2:2001 is a candidate “ harmonized” European Standard and fully takes into account the requirements of the European Commission mandate M109, Fire alarm/detection, fixed firefighting, fire and smoke control and explosion suppression products, given under the EU Machinery Directive (98/37/EC), and intended to lead to CE marking. The date of applicability of EN 1846-2:2001 as a “ harmonized” European Standard, i.e. the date after which this standard may be used for CE marking purposes, is subject to an announcement in the Official Journal of the European Communities. EN 1846-2:2001 is the subject of transitional arrangements agreed under the European Commission mandate. The Member States have agreed a nominal transition period for the co-existence of EN 1846-2:2001 and their corresponding national standard(s). It is intended that this period will comprise a nominal nine month period during which any required changes to national regulations are to be made, followed by a further nominal twelve month period for the implementation of CE marking. At the end of this co-existence period, the national standard(s) will be withdrawn. In the UK, there is no corresponding national standard. Users of this British Standard are requested to read the additional information given in National annex NA. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee FSH/17, Fire brigade equipment, to Subcommittee FSH/17/3, Fire appliances. A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary. This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application. Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations. Amendments/corrigenda issued since publication Amd.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this European Standard. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. vehicles with a gross laden mass not exceeding 2 t; boats; aircraft; BS EN 1846-2:2001+A3:2009 ? EN 1846-2:2001+A3:2009 (E) 5 trains; ambulances; airport vehicles complying with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) recommendations. 1.3 This part of this 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 of firefighting and rescue service vehicles when carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the manufacturer or his authorised representative. It does not cover the hazards generated by: radiation (low frequency, radio frequency, radiation, micro-waves); errors in the software; use in potentially explosive atmospheres; construction, transportation, maintenance and decommissioning; wind pressure in and out of use; static electricity problems; remote control; electromagnetic compatibility. This part of this European Standard also deals with performance requirements. 1.4 This part of this European Standard is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before its date of publication. 2 Normative references %The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
