EN 1915-2 Aircraft Ground Support Equipment - General Requirements - Part 2: Stability and Strength Requirements, Calculations and Test Methods

The EN 1915-2 standard, a European standard, contains conditions to be considered when calculating the strength of structural parts and the stability of ground support equipment. This standard also defines test requirements. The calculation methods used are proportional to the complexity of the ground support equipment.

Minimum basic criteria are considered of primary importance in providing safe, economical and usable ground support equipment. Deviation from suggested methods and conditions only occurs after careful consideration, extensive testing and extensive service evaluation have shown that alternative methods or conditions are satisfactory.

Briefly, the EN 1915-2 standard includes the conditions to be considered when calculating the strength and stability of ground support equipment according to the EN 1915-1 standard and the EN 12312 standard series under the intended use conditions. The methods given in this standard show a way to achieve an acceptable level of security. Methods that produce comparable results can be used.

However, this standard does not specify additional requirements for:

• Operation outside the airport environment
• Operation in severe conditions, such as ambient temperature below minus 20 degrees Celsius or above 50 degrees Celsius, tropical or saturated salty atmospheric environment
• Hazards caused by wind speed exceeding the figures given in this standard
• Earthquake, flood, landslide, lightning and more generally any natural disaster

The EN 1915 standard was originally published in the following four sections under the heading "Aircraft ground support equipment - General requirements":

• EN 1915-1 Part 1: Basic safety rules
• EN 1915-2 Part 2: Stability and strength rules, calculations and test methods
• EN 1915-3 Part 3: Vibration measurement methods and reduction
• EN 1915-4 Part 4: Noise measurement methods and reduction

Our organization provides services for stability and strength requirements, calculations and tests of aircraft ground support equipment within the scope of EN 1915-2 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors. also gives.
