Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
This document was prepared under the old numbering of the ISO 25740 series. With the resolution of
the plenary Meeting in Sydney 09/2016, the new number of this document will be ISO/TS 8103-6. When
the renumbering of the standards to 810x-family is finished, this document is revised.
This document was prepared in response to the need to set global safety parameters for escalators and
moving walks.
The objective of ISO/TS 25740-1 and this document is to:
a) define a common global level of safety for all people using, or associated with escalators and
moving walks;
b) facilitate innovation of escalators and moving walks not designed according to existing local,
national or regional safety standards, while maintaining equivalent levels of safety. If such
innovations become state of the art, they can then be integrated into the detailed local safety
standard, at a later date; and
c) help remove trade barriers.
ISO/TS 25740-1 establishes global essential safety requirements (GESRs) for escalators and moving
walks by addressing hazards and risks that can be encountered on escalators and moving walks. The
GESRs however, state only safety objectives of escalators and moving walks.
This document provides guidance and criteria for achieving conformance with safety requirements
of GESRs by specifying global safety parameters (GSPs) for use and implementation, where applicable,
in an escalator or moving walk to eliminate hazards or mitigate safety risks addressed in the GESRs.
However, GSPs are not mandatory.
Clause 4 describes the approach and methodology used in the development of this document. Clause 5
gives instructions for the use and implementation of GSPs. The GSPs are presented in Clause 6 in the
sequence of GESRs in ISO/TS 25740-1.
This document is a product safety standard in accordance with ISO/IEC Guide 51.
