This European Standard specifies the requirements for the interface between the vehicle or craft and the incubator and the associated equipment, needed for care and treatment of infants, used in emergency or planned transport.
The standard also specifies requirements for the safe transportation using equipment or systems that do not interfere with the functions of the vehicle or craft providing transportation.
This standard does not give requirements for the vehicles, crafts, devices or incubators as such, these requirements are found in other standards. However, transport incubators are normally combined with other equipment to form a “transport incubator system”.
