Overview

EN 115-1:2017 - "Safety of escalators and moving walks - Part 1: Construction and installation" is a European Standard published by SIST (adoption of EN 115-1). It applies to new escalators and moving walks (pallet or belt type) as defined in the standard and addresses all significant hazards when equipment is used as intended or under reasonably foreseeable misuse. It is not mandatory for machines manufactured before publication, although updating existing installations to this standard is recommended.

Key topics and technical requirements

This standard sets out comprehensive safety, design and installation requirements, including:

• List of significant hazards: mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic radiation, fire, ergonomic issues, slipping/tripping/falling, control-circuit failures, break-up during operation, and seismic events.
• Structural and construction requirements: supporting truss, enclosure, access and inspection covers, structural design and angle of inclination.
• Steps, pallets and belt design: dimensions, guidance, clearances, missing-step/pallet devices.
• Drive and braking systems: driving machines, braking requirements and drive arrangements for steps, pallets or belts.
• Balustrades and skirting: dimensions, clearances, newels and measures to prevent entrapment.
• Handrail systems: profile, positioning, guidance and handrail entry.
• Landings and combs: surface properties, step/pallet/belt configuration and comb design.
• Machinery and equipment spaces: dimensions, lighting, access and fire protection.
• Electrical installations and control systems: wiring, contactors, main switches, failsafe circuits, protective and safety functions.
• Verification, testing and documentation: inspection and test regimes, required technical data and certificates, testing of E/E/PE (electrical/electronic/programmable electronic) systems.
• Information for use: instruction handbook content, marking, signals, warning plates and maintenance/inspection guidance.
• Annexes: building interfaces, prevention of access by trolleys/carts, and guidance on failsafe electronic components and testing.

Practical applications and users

EN 115-1:2017 is essential for stakeholders involved in the lifecycle of escalators and moving walks:

• Manufacturers and product designers - to design compliant equipment and safety systems.
• Installers and contractors - to ensure correct construction, installation and building interfaces.
• Building owners, facility managers and asset operators - for safe operation, regular inspection and modernization decisions.
• Safety engineers and inspectors - for verification, type testing and conformity assessment.
• Regulators and standards bodies - for national implementation and coordination with building codes.

Related standards

• Part of the EN 115 framework of standards for escalators and moving walks; consult other parts of EN 115 and applicable national standards for installation, maintenance and operation requirements.
