EN 1646-1:2018 (E) 7 1 Scope This document specifies requirements intended to ensure the safety and health of persons when they use motor caravans for temporary or seasonal habitation. It also specifies the corresponding test methods. Specific requirements of this document apply to motor caravans where the overall length multiplied by the overall width does not exceed 13,5 m2 plan area. Requirements applicable to road safety are not included in the scope of this document. This document is applicable exclusively to motor caravans as defined in EN 13878. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 3-7, Portable fire extinguishers — Part 7: Characteristics, performance requirements and test methods EN 721, Leisure accommodation vehicles — Safety ventilation requirements EN 1648-2, Leisure accommodation vehicles — 12 V direct current extra low voltage electrical installations — Part 2: Motor caravans EN 1949, Specification for the installation of LPG systems for habitation purposes in leisure accommodation vehicles and accommodation purposes in other vehicles EN 13878, Leisure accommodation vehicles — Terms and definitions HD 60364-7-721, Low-voltage electrical installations — Part 7-721: Requirements for special installations or locations — Electrical installations in caravans and motor caravans (IEC 60364-7-721) EN ISO 8936, Awnings for leisure accommodation vehicles — Requirements and test methods (ISO 8936) ISO 4649:2017, Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of abrasion resistance using a rotating cylindrical drum device 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13878 apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp 4 Testing The tests described in Annexes A to K are intended to verify that a motor caravan representative of a given model, including its fixtures and fittings, meets the requirements of this document. These tests are intended to simulate the most onerous conditions, for the relevant characteristics. SIST EN 1646-1:2018



EN 1646-1:2018 (E) 8 It is recommended to take environmental aspects into account during development, production and disposal of motor caravans based on established knowledge and within the respective technical possibilities (see also Annex L). 5 Design and construction 5.1 Occupancy The manufacturer shall designate the occupancy as the number of berths, both standard berths and additional berth
