Description (English):

ISO 6966-2:2014 specifies the minimum design requirements applicable to all aircraft ground support equipment (GSE) in order to ensure safety of staff operating or maintaining the equipment or in its vicinity, and protection of aircraft against interference or damage. ISO 6966-2:2014 does not apply to automotive vehicles or parts thereof approved for public vehicles, when used on aircraft ground support equipment for the purpose for which they are designed.

Abstract

Overview - ISO 6966-2:2014 (Aircraft ground equipment - Safety requirements)

ISO 6966-2:2014 defines the minimum safety design requirements for aircraft ground support equipment (GSE). It is Part 2 of the ISO 6966 series and focuses on protecting personnel who operate or maintain GSE and preventing interference or damage to aircraft on the ramp. The standard applies to any purpose-designed mobile GSE used in airport ramp areas (not to general public automotive vehicles used in their original public-vehicle role).

Key facts:

Part of a two-part series (Part 1 covers general design requirements).
Emphasizes “design to safety” and risk-based design.
Includes informative and normative annexes (e.g., typical GSE list, safety symbols).

Key technical topics and requirements

ISO 6966-2 organizes safety requirements across the lifecycle and systems of GSE. Major topics include:

Risk assessment and design-to-safety: Manufacturers shall conduct comprehensive risk assessments (per ISO 14121-1) and implement inherently safe design features rather than rely solely on add-on protections.
Personnel accommodation and protection: Requirements on operator space, access, guarding and emergency exit considerations to reduce operator risk.
Stability and strength: Criteria to ensure equipment structural integrity and stability under operational loads.
Components and systems safety: Fail‑safe or duplicated design for components whose failure could be hazardous; references to safety-related control system standards (e.g., ISO 13849-1).
Aircraft protection: Measures to avoid aircraft contact and damage (e.g., defined concept of “aircraft contact” at
