It also takes into account some performance requirements recognised as essential by authorities, aircraft and ground support equipment (GSE) manufacturers as well as airlines and service companies.
This European Standard applies to:
- ground power units either self-propelled or towable (Examples see Annex A);

This European Standard does not apply to:
- the electrical characteristics of the supply, the type of power supply system and related measures against contact;
- any electrical supply system not intended for aircraft use;
- the on-board electrical system of the aircraft.
This European Standard does not establish requirements for noise and vibration.
Noise and vibration are dealt with respectively in EN 1915 4 and EN 1915 3.
This European Standard does not deal with hazards in respect to a standard automotive chassis and from other vehicles on the apron.
