Standard BNQ 1013-110
Ambulances — Vehicle Specifications
|
This standard applies to ambulances with a combustion engine. The requirements for electric ambulances and combustion engine ambulances will eventually be in the same document, consult the planning of the transition work for more information (see the diagram in French only). |
In the field of health care, workers must have access to the best equipment possible to enhance patient recovery. For ambulance attendants, that means operating well-constructed, reliable ambulances that enable them to provide the best emergency medical care possible, while ensuring maximum passenger safety. The BNQ 1013-110 standard, for ambulance assemblers, covers this specific area. It sets minimum requirements, performance parameters and key criteria for ambulances used to transport patients, with respect to interior layout, functionality, external features, comfort and safety. For an ambulance to meet this standard, its specifications must meet a number of requirements:
- general requirements (construction, base vehicle equipment and national safety mark);
- specific requirements for the vehicle’s mechanical and electrical systems (for example, control consoles, power train, suspension, batteries, 120 V circuits and sirens);
- specific requirements for the ambulance module (for example, structure, doors and windows, interior layout, air conditioning and heating, signals, and exterior visibility characteristics).
