What is BS EN 15431 – Power system interchangeability and performance requirements about?
BS EN 15431 is a European Standard that discusses winter and road service area maintenance equipment.
BS EN 15431 applies to power systems equipped for the operation and able to drive implements and attachments such as snow ploughs or spreaders on winter service vehicles on-road service area maintenance vehicles, equipped with front-mounting plates according to EN 15432.
The purpose of BS EN 15431 is to ensure the interchangeability of vehicles and implements.
Note 1: BS EN 15431 does not deal with airport equipment.
Note 2: BS EN 15431 does not cover applications, where the implements need a continuous hydraulic oil flow exceeding 45 l/min.
Who is BS EN 15431- Power system interchangeability and performance requirements for?
BS EN 15431 on power system interchangeability and performance requirements is useful for:
- Power system manufacturers
- Power system and control vehicle engineers
- Design engineers
Why should you use BS EN 15431 - Power system interchangeability and performance requirements?
In winter, roads are blocked with snow, which holds the traffic. Road service authorities send road service area vehicles for clearing the snow. It also helps to prevent any mishaps and ensure safety on the roads.
BS EN 15431 guides you regarding the manufacturing of hydraulic systems for municipal vehicles and electrical connectors to ensure the capability of the power system and controllers in the equipment.
BS EN 15431 guides you regarding the power take-off shaft and also assists in evaluating the performance of the power take-off shaft to ensure the capability of the power system and controllers.
