EVS-EN 15432:2008

This European Standard specifies the requirements for the various elements of carrying vehicles to ensure interchangeability between a vehicle and different equipments that are frontally mounted. It specifies certain interchangeability dimensions of the front mounting plate, including its height above the ground, as well as the locations of coupling devices for electrical and hydraulic connections and for mechanical power take off (PTO). This European Standard specifies two different classes of mounting plates in order to cover road vehicles, having a maximum design total mass higher than 3,5 t, of the greatest possible variety (commercial vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles, communal vehicles, …), which are capable of carrying front-mounted equipments for winter maintenance and for road service area maintenance.
