Safety of escalators and moving walks - Part 4: Interpretations related to EN 115 family of standards
This Technical Specification is a collection of interpretations related to the EN 115 series. This document collects interpretations to EN 115 1:2008+A1:2010.
Interpretations to other standards of the EN 115 series will be added when they are available.
Interpretations aim to improve the understanding of the clause(s) they are referring to and by that facilitating common understanding between manufacturers, lift installers, notified bodies, inspection bodies and national authorities.
Interpretations do not have the same status as the standards to which they are related. However, the application of interpretations should give to the interested parties confidence that the relevant standard has not been wrongly applied.
Sicherheit von Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteigen - Teil 4: Auslegungen zur Normenreihe EN 115
Diese Technische Spezifikation ist eine Zusammenstellung von Auslegungen, die sich auf die Normenreihe EN 115 beziehen. Dieses Dokument stellt Auslegungen zur EN 115-1:1998+A1:2010 zusammen.
Auslegungen zu anderen Normen der Normenreihe EN 115 werden aufgenommen, sobald sie zur Verfügung stehen.
Auslegungen dienen dazu, das Verständnis der Abschnitte, auf die sie sich beziehen, zu verbessern und dadurch ein gemeinsames Verständnis zwischen Herstellern, Montagebetrieben, Benannten Stellen, Überwachungsstellen und nationalen Behörden zu erleichtern.
Auslegungen haben nicht den gleichen Status wie die Normen, auf die sie sich beziehen. Die Anwendung von Auslegungen gibt den beteiligten Kreisen jedoch die Sicherheit, dass die entsprechende Norm nicht falsch angewendet worden ist.
Sécurité des escaliers mécaniques et trottoir roulants - Partie 4: Interprétations relatives aux normes de la famille EN 115
La présente Spécification technique est un recueil d’interprétations relatives à la série EN 115. Ce document rassemble les interprétations concernant l’EN 115-1:2008+A1:2010.
Les interprétations relatives à d’autres normes de la série EN 115 seront ajoutées lorsqu’elles seront disponibles.
Les interprétations visent à améliorer la compréhension des articles auxquels elles font référence et, ainsi, à faciliter une compréhension commune entre les fabricants, les installateurs d’escaliers mécaniques, les organismes notifiés, les organismes d’inspection et les autorités nationales.
Les interprétations n’ont pas le même statut que les normes auxquelles elles se réfèrent. Cependant, il convient que l’application des interprétations permette aux parties intéressées de s’assurer que la norme appropriée n’a pas été appliquée de manière erronée.

promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 115-4:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 10 “Lifts,
escalators and moving walks”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
EN 115 is divided into the following parts:
• EN 115-1, Safety of escalators and moving walks — Part 1: Construction and installation;
• EN 115-2, Safety of escalators and moving walks — Part 2: Rules for the improvement of safety of
existing escalators and moving walks;
• CEN/TR 115-3, Safety of escalators and moving walks — Part 3: Correlation between EN 115:1995 and
its amendments and EN 115-1:2008 [Technical Report];
• CEN/TS 115-4, Safety of escalators and moving walks — Part 4: Interpretations related to EN 115 family
of standards [Technical specification; the present document].
This document is a collection of interpretations related to the EN 115 series. For the time being this collection
of interpretations relates to EN 115-1. According to the progress in working out interpretations, this document
will be amended and/or completed.
This is the first edition of this CEN Technical Specification.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
Standards reflect the consensus of the best European expertise and are prepared with highest care. Product
standards cannot be formulated in such a way that they describe all possible technical solutions and therefore
exclude all uncertainties regarding the understanding of the required provisions. On the other hand technology
is in a permanent evolution, the progress of which cannot be incorporated into standards quickly enough.
Interpretations are a practical way to give:
a) answers to questions regarding the understanding of clauses in standards;
b) feedback to the CEN-Committee responsible for a standard about the practical experiences resulting from
the use of the standard;
c) guidance to further development and improvement of standards following:
1) experience, especially accidents and incidents;
2) progress in technology;
3) state of the art.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification is a collection of interpretations related to the EN 115 series. This document
collects interpretations to EN 115-1:2008+A1:2010.
Interpretations to other standards of the EN 115 series will be added when they are available.
Interpretations aim to improve the understanding of the clause(s) they are referring to and by that facilitating
common understanding between manufacturers, lift installers, notified bodies, inspection bodies and national
authorities.
Interpretations do not have the same status as the standards to which they are related. However, the
application of interpretations should give to the interested parties confidence that the relevant standard has
not been wrongly applied.
