Overview

EN 12016:2013 - published by CEN - is the European product-family standard for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) immunity of lifts, escalators and moving walks. It specifies immunity performance criteria and test levels for apparatus and assemblies permanently installed in buildings, addressing the basic safety requirements related to their electromagnetic environment. The standard targets immunity (not emissions) and is intended to support conformity with the EMC, Lifts and Machinery Directives.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and coverage
  • Applies to apparatus and assemblies used in residential, office and light‑industrial building environments; excludes severe EM environments (e.g., radio-transmitter stations, railways/metros, heavy industry, power stations).
  • Covers both safety circuits (safety-critical electronics) and general function circuits, with stricter criteria for safety circuits.
  • Not applicable to equipment manufactured before the publication date or to unrelated apparatus already shown compliant with the EMC Directive (e.g., lighting, general communications).
• Immunity tests referenced
  • Uses EN/IEC 61000‑4 series test methods: ESD (4‑2), radiated RF (4‑3), EFT/burst (4‑4), surge (4‑5), conducted RF (4‑6), voltage dips/interruptions (4‑11), etc.
  • Requires representative cable lengths (e.g., travelling cables ≥5 m) and maximization of test susceptibility by varying sample position.
• Performance criteria and evaluation
  • Defines performance criteria for acceptable behaviour under disturbance (different levels for safety vs general circuits).
  • Requires documentation for installers about EMC-related installation and mitigation measures.
• Extensions
  • RF immunity requirements have been extended to cover mobile and wireless services (see standard for specific frequency limits and test levels).

Applications - who uses EN 12016:2013

• Lift, escalator and moving‑walk manufacturers and OEM component suppliers - to design EMC‑robust safety and control equipment.
• EMC test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies - to verify immunity performance and support CE marking.
• Installation engineers and building integrators - to follow installation guidance and avoid hazardous EMC situations.
• Safety and design engineers performing risk assessments and specifying mitigation measures for electronic safety circuits.

Related standards

• EN 12015 - EMC product family standard for emission (complements EN 12016 immunity requirements).
• EN/IEC 61000‑4‑2/3/4/5/6/11 series - test methods and measurement techniques referenced throughout EN 12016.
• Informative annexes in EN 12016 link the standard to the EMC Directive, Lifts Directive and Machinery Directive.

EN 12016:2013 is essential for ensuring lift/escalator safety in typical building electromagnetic environments and for demonstrating conformity with European EMC and safety legislation.
