October 2009, CEN/TC 239 appointed an ad-hoc group to evaluate the impact of the Directive 2007/46/EC which replaces Directive 70/156/EEC, on EN 1789:2007 and to assess its application in different member countries of CEN Moreover the definition of ambulance of the COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 678/2011 (14 July 2011 replacing Annex II and amending Annexes IV, IX and XI to Directive 2007/46/EC) refers to EN 1789:2007 The appointed ad-hoc group reported its findings as follows: — EN 1789:2007 has not been applied consistently by notified bodies since the text for verifying compliance is open to interpretation and may cause difficulties to Technical Services (TS) as defined in Directive 2007/46/EC, EN 1789:2007 or local authorities; — these differences can lead to declarations that the same ambulance complies or does not comply with EN 1789:2007; — manufacturers of ambulances may have the same problems of interpretation in the design of their ambulances; — users of ambulances may have the same problems of interpretation that affects their responsibility This second amendment 1) gives an answer to questions concerning the application of EN 1789:2007 and avoids differences in interpretation between such notified bodies to check compliance of vehicles specially adapted to medical transportation (Road ambulances) NOTE Such as the demonstration of compliance to the requirements of 4.5.9 or 4.3.$ 1) #The first amendment published in 2010 only updates Table ZA.1 to consider the revision of Directive 93/42/EEC.$ BS EN 1789:2007+A2:2014 EN 1789:2007+A2:2014 (E) Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for the design, testing, performance and equipping of road ambulances used for the transport and care of patients It contains requirements for the patient’s compartment This European Standard does not cover the requirements for approval and registration of the vehicle and the training of the staff which is the responsibility of the authority/authorities in the country where the ambulance is to be registered This European Standard is applicable to road ambulances capable of transporting at least one person on a stretcher Requirements are specified for categories of road ambulances based in increasing order of the level of treatment that can be carried out These are the patient transport ambulance (types A1 A2), the emergency ambulance (type B) and the mobile intensive care unit (type C) This European Standard gives general requirements for medical devices carried in road ambulances and used therein and outside hospitals and clinics in situations where the ambient conditions can differ from normal indoor conditions Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application
