Overview

EN 12015:2004/prA1 is a European standard developed by CEN that defines emission limits related to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for lifts, escalators, and moving walks. It is a product family standard focusing specifically on electromagnetic disturbances emitted by these types of equipment, which are intended for permanent installation in buildings. The standard supports compliance with the EC Directive 2004/108/EC on EMC, ensuring that these products minimize electromagnetic interference within their operating environments.

The amendment prA1 updates the original 2004 standard, aligning it with newer harmonized standards such as EN 61000-3-12:2004, especially regarding harmonic emission limits. This standard is vital for manufacturers, testers, and regulatory bodies responsible for ensuring lifts and moving walk systems meet stringent EMC requirements.

Key Topics

• Emission Limits: Specifies maximum allowable levels of electromagnetic disturbances emitted by lifts, escalators, and moving walks to avoid interference with other electrical/electronic devices.
• Harmonic Currents: Incorporates harmonic emission limits based on EN 61000-3-12, addressing harmonic distortion and current limits for equipment connected to low-voltage public power systems.
• Test Conditions: Defines protocols and test setups for measuring the emissions, including stabilization time for equipment before measurement and conditions for disregarding insignificant harmonics.
• Compliance with EC Directive 2004/108/EC: Provides conformity assessment, offering manufacturers a framework to demonstrate compliance with essential EMC requirements.
• Updates and References: Replaces previous references such as EN 55014-1:2000 with updated standards like EN 55014-1:2006, and removes outdated guidelines (e.g., IEC/TR2 61000-3-4).

Applications

• Manufacturing and Design: Helps manufacturers design lifts, escalators, and moving walks that comply with EMC emission limits, reducing risks of electromagnetic interference in buildings.
• Testing and Certification: Offers clear guidance for EMC testing laboratories to verify that products meet legal and regulatory EMC emission limits prior to installation.
• Installation and Operation: Ensures that permanently installed lifts and moving walk systems maintain electromagnetic emissions within safe limits, supporting safe and reliable building operation.
• Regulatory Compliance: Enables stakeholders to comply with European Union and EFTA EMC directives, avoiding legal issues and improving safety standards across member states.
• Product Development: Facilitates innovation by establishing standardized EMC emission limits, promoting interoperability and acceptance of new lift and escalator technologies in the European market.

Related Standards

• EN 115-1: Safety standard for escalators and moving walks - construction and installation.
• EN 61000-3-12:2004: Limits for harmonic currents produced by equipment connected to public low-voltage systems.
• EN 55014-1:2006: EMC requirements for household appliances and electric tools related to emission.
• EC Directive 2004/108/EC: European Directive on electromagnetic compatibility essential requirements.
• EN 12015:2004: Base standard updated by prA1 amendment, covering EMC for lifts, escalators and moving walks.

---

Adhering to EN 12015:2004/prA1 ensures that lifts, escalators, and moving walks meet European electromagnetic emission standards, enhancing building safety and device interoperability while fulfilling legal EMC obligations in Europe. Incorporation of harmonized standards like EN 61000-3-12 helps manage harmonic distortions effectively, offering practical benefits for manufacturers and operators in the building services industry.
