Firefighting and rescue service vehicles - Part 2: Common requirements - Safety and performance

Scope

1.1 This European Standard 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 European Standard 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 European Standard does not formulate requirements for this chassis.
This European Standard 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 (see Clause 4).
Complementary specific requirements for aerial appliances are the subject of the following European Standards:
 EN 1777: Hydraulic platforms (HPs) for fire fighting and rescue services,
 EN 14043: Turntable ladders with combined movements,
 EN 14044: Turntable ladders with sequential movements.
These specific requirements may supplement or modify the requirements of this document and they take
precedence over the corresponding requirements of this document.
NOTE 2 Additional regulations, not dealt with in this document, may apply in relation with the use of the vehicles on public
roads.
This European Standard deals with firefighting and rescue vehicles intended for use in a temperature range from
– 15 °C to + 35 °C.
NOTE 3 In the case of utilisation outside this temperature range, additional measures may be necessary as agreed between
the manufacturer and the user. Such requirements are outside the scope of this European Standard.
