1.1   This draft European Standard is applicable for new escalators and moving walks (pallet or belt type) as defined in Clause 3.
This draft European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to escalators and moving walks when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4).
1.2   This document is not applicable to escalators and moving walks which were manufactured before the date of its publication. It is, however, recommended that existing installations be adapted to this standard.

1.1 This European standard deals with safety requirements for construction, manufacturing, installation and maintenance of electrically operated vertical lifting platforms affixed to a building structure intended for use by persons with impaired mobility :
- travelling vertically between fixed levels along a guided path within 15 degrees max. of the vertical;
- intended for use is by persons with or without a wheelchair ;
- supported or sustained by wire rope, chain, rack and pinion, hydraulic jack (direct or indirect), screw and nut, guided chain, friction/traction, or scissors mechanism ;
- with enclosed lift-ways ;
- with rated speed not exceeding 0,15 m/s even after installation ;
- with hold-to-run control.
1.2 This standard deals with all significant hazards relevant to lifting platforms, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4).
1.3 This European standard does not specify the additional requirements for :
- operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, strong magnetic fields) ;
- lightning protection ;
- operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres) ;
- handling of materials, the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations ;
- hazards occurring during manufacture ;
- earthquakes, flooding ;
- fire fighting, evacuation during a fire ;
- noise and vibrations ;
- concrete, hardcore, timber or other foundation or building arrangement ;
- the design of anchorage bolts to the supporting structure ;
- type C wheelchairs as defined in EN 12183 and/or EN 12184.

1.1 This European Standard gives rules for improving the safety of existing escalators and moving walks with the aim of reaching an equivalent level of safety to that of a newly installed escalator and moving walk by the application of today’s state of the art for safety.
NOTE   Due to situations such as the existing machine or building designs, it may not be possible in all cases to reach today’s state of the art for safety. Nevertheless the objective is to improve the level of safety wherever possible.
1.2 This standard includes the improvement of safety of existing escalators and moving walks for:
a) users;
b) maintenance and inspection personnel;
c) persons outside the escalator or moving walk (but in their immediate vicinity);
d) authorised persons.
1.3 This standard is not applicable to:
a) safety during transport, installation, repairs and dismantling of escalators and moving walks;
b) spiral escalators;
c) accelerating moving walks.
However, this standard can usefully be taken as a reference basis.

This European Standard deals with safety requirements for construction, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and dismantling of electrically operated stairlifts (chair, standing platform and wheelchair platform) affixed to a building structure, moving in an inclined plane and intended for use by persons with impaired mobility: - travelling over a stair or an accessible inclined surface; - intended for use by one person; whose carriage is directly retained and guided by a guide rail or rails; - supported or sustained by rope (5.4.4), rack and pinion (5.4.5), chain (5.4.6), screw and nut (5.4.7), friction traction drive (5.4.8), and guided rope and ball (5.4.9). The standard identifies hazards as listed in Clause 4 which arise during the various phases in the life of such equipment and describes methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards when used as intended by the manufacturer. This European standard does not specify the additional requirements for: - operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, strong magnetic fields ); - lightning protection; - operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres); - handling of materials the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations; - use of energy systems other than electricity; - hazards occurring during manufacture; earthquakes, flooding, fire; - type C wheelchairs as defined in EN 12183 and/or EN 12184;- evacuation during a fire; stairlifts for goods only; - concrete ,hardcore, timber or other foundation or building arrangement; - design of anchorage bolts to the supporting structure.

This European standard specifies the requirements for the accessibility of new lifts serving defined landing levels, having a car designed for the transportation of persons, and moving along guide rails inclined at an angle of more then 15degrees to the horizontal. NOTE: This standard may be used as guidance for upgrading existing lifts in line with the recommandation of the European Commission dated 8th of June, 1995 (95/216/EC) concerning improvements to safety of existing lifts. This European standard describes three sizes of lifts offering different levels of accessibility to wheelchair users.

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the safe and independent access and use of lifts by a wide range of persons, including persons with disabilities.
It is applicable to new passenger and goods passenger lifts according to EN 81 20. For other types of lifts, e.g. inclined lifts according to EN 81 22, this standard can usefully be taken as a basis.
NOTE   For the upgrading of accessibility of existing lifts in line with the recommendation of the European Commission dated 8th of June, 1995 (95/216/EC) concerning improvements to safety of existing lifts, see EN 81-82.
