Safety of escalators and moving walks - Part 2: Rules for the improvement of safety of existing escalators and moving walks

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 its 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.

Sicherheit von Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteigen - Teil 2: Regeln für die Erhöhung der Sicherheit bestehender Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteige

1.1 Diese Europäische Norm enthält Regeln für die Verbesserung der Sicherheit bestehender Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteige mit dem Ziel, durch die Anwendung des heutigen Stands der Sicherheitstechnik eine zu neu errichteten Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteigen gleichwertige Sicherheit zu erreichen. ANMERKUNG Aufgrund besonderer Situationen, wie z. B. einer bestehenden Anlage oder der Gebäudeausführung usw. kann es möglich sein, dass nicht immer der heutige Stand der Sicherheitstechnik erreicht wird. Das Ziel bleibt jedoch, das Sicherheitsniveau so weit wie möglich zu erhöhen.
1.2 Diese Norm beinhaltet die Verbesserung der Sicherheit von bestehenden Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteigen für
a) Benutzer;
b) Instandhaltungs- und Überwachungspersonal;
c) Personen außerhalb der Fahrtreppe oder des Fahrsteigs (aber in deren unmittelbarer Umgebung); d) befugte Personen.
1.3 Diese Norm gilt nicht für
a) die Sicherheit beim Transport, Einbau, Reparatur und Rückbau von Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteigen;
b) Bogenfahrtreppen;
c) Beschleunigungsfahrsteige. Hierfür kann jedoch sachdienlich von dieser Norm ausgegangen werden.

Sécurité des escaliers mécaniques et trottoirs roulants - Partie 2: Règles pour l'amélioration de la sécurité des escaliers mécaniques et des trottoirs roulants existants

1.1 La présente Norme européenne fournit des règles pour améliorer la sécurité des escaliers mécaniques et trottoirs roulants existants dans le but d’atteindre un niveau de sécurité équivalent à celui des escaliers mécaniques et trottoirs roulants installés récemment en fonction de l’état de l’art actuel en matière de sécurité. NOTE En raison des situations dues à la conception des équipements ou des bâtiments existants, il peut ne pas être possible dans tous les cas d’atteindre l’état de l’art actuel en matière de sécurité. L’objectif est néanmoins d’améliorer le niveau de sécurité à chaque fois que cela est possible.
1.2 La présente norme traite de l’amélioration de la sécurité des escaliers mécaniques et trottoirs roulants existants pour :
a) les usagers ;
b) le personnel de maintenance et d’inspection ;
c) les personnes ne se trouvant pas sur l’escalier mécanique ou sur le trottoir roulant (mais à proximité immédiate) ; d) les personnes autorisées.
1.3 La présente norme ne s’applique pas :
a) à la sécurité lors du transport, de l’installation, de la réparation et du démontage des escaliers mécaniques et trottoirs roulants ;
b) aux escaliers mécaniques en spirale ;
c) aux trottoirs roulants accélérés. La présente norme peut toutefois servir de référence.

Varnost tekočih stopnic in trakov za osebe (stez) - 2. del: Pravila za izboljšanje varnosti obstoječih stopnic in trakov za osebe

Ta evropski standard podaja pravila za izboljšanje varnosti obstoječih stopnic in trakov za osebe, namenjena za doseganje ravni varnosti, enakovredne varnosti novo vgrajenih stopnic in trakov za osebe, z uporabo današnjih najsodobnejših varnostnih tehnologij. Ta standard vključuje izboljšanje varnosti obstoječih stopnic in trakov za osebe za: a) uporabnike; b) vzdrževalno in nadzorno osebje; c) osebe, ki niso na stopnicah ali trakovih za osebe (vendar so v njihovi neposredni bližini); d) pooblaščene osebe.

New technologies and social expectations have led to today's state of the art for safety. This has led to the situation today of different levels of safety across Europe causing accidents. However, users and authorised persons expect a common acceptable level of safety. Furthermore the life cycle of escalators and moving walks is longer than most other transportation systems and building equipment, which therefore means that the design, performance and safety can fall behind modern technologies. If all existing escalators and moving walks are not upgraded to today's state of the art of safety the number of injuries will increase (especially in areas which can be accessed by the general public, recognizing the change of behaviour and changing attitudes towards safety in general). If escalators or moving walks were installed before 1970 on the base of manufacturer's and national standards or were installed after 1970 but not in accordance with CIRA Recommendation 28, then they should be the subject of a separate risk assessment in addition to the recommendations of this standard to determine whether a safety upgrade or a full replacement is appropriate. Approach of this standard This standard
 categorises various hazards and hazardous situations, each of which has been analysed by a risk assessment (see in particular Annex A);  is intended to provide corrective actions to progressively and selectively improve, step by step, the safety of all existing escalators and moving walks towards today’s state of the art for safety (see Clause 5);  enables each escalator and moving
