Safety of escalators and moving walks - Part 1: Construction and installation

This standard is applicable for new escalators and moving walks (pallet or belt type) as defined in Clause 3. This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to escalators and moving walks when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This standard does not deal with hazards arising from seismic activities. This document is not applicable to escalators and moving walks which were manufactured before the date of its publication as EN. It is, however, recommended that existing installations be adapted to this standard.

Varnost tekočih stopnic in trakov za osebe (stez) - 1. del: Konstrukcija in vgradnja (vključno z dopolnilom A1)

Ta standard velja za nove tekoče stopnice in trakove za osebe (steze, paletni ali tračni tip), kot je določeno v Klavzuli 3. Ta standard obravnava vse velike nevarnosti, nevarna stanja in dogodke, pomembne za tekoče stopnice in trakove za osebe (steze), kadar se uporabljajo v skladu z namembnostjo in pod pogoji napačne uporabe, ki jih razumno predvidi proizvajalec (glej Klavzulo 4). Ta standard ne obravnava nevarnosti, ki nastanejo zaradi potresne aktivnosti. Ta dokument ne velja na tekoče stopnice in trakove za osebe (steze), ki so bili proizvedeni pred datumom, ko je bil objavljen kot EN. Vendar je priporočeno, da se obstoječe vgradnje prilagodi temu standardu.

EN 115-1:2008+A1:2010 (E) 5 Introduction This standard is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard. When the provisions of this C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. The purpose of this standard is to define safety requirements for escalators and moving walks in order to safeguard people and objects against risks of accidents during installation, operation, maintenance and inspection work. The contents of this standard are based on the assumption that persons using escalators and moving walks are able to do so unaided. However, physical and sensory abilities in a population can vary over a wide range, escalators and moving walks are also likely to be used by persons with a range of other disabilities.
Some individuals, in particular older people, might have more than one impairment. Some individuals are not able to use an escalator or moving walk independently and rely on assistance/support being provided by a companion. Furthermore some individuals can be encumbered by objects or be responsible for other persons, which can affect their mobility. The extent to which an individual is incapacitated by impairments and encumbrances often depends on the usability of products, facilities and the environment. The use of wheelchairs on escalators and moving walks can lead to dangerous situations which cannot be mitigated by machine designs and therefore should not be permitted. The use of lifts is the preferred method of vertical travel for most people with disabilities and in particular wheelchair users and persons with guide dogs. Additional signs should be provided to indicate the location of other facilities, these facilities should be in close proximity to the escalators and moving walks and easy to find.
It is assumed that negotiations have been made for each contract between the customer and the supplier/installer (see also Annex A) about: a) intended use of the escalator or moving walk; b) environmental conditions; c) civil engineering problems; d) other aspects related to the place of installation. If escalators or moving walks are intended to be operated under special conditions, such as directly exposed to the weather or explosive atmosphere, or in exceptional cases serve as emergency exits, appropriate design criteria, components, materials and instructions for use should be used that satisfy the particular conditions. An Interpretation Committee has been established to clarify, if necessary, the spirit in which the clauses of the standard have been drafted and to specify the requirements appropriate to particular cases. Interpretation Requests can be sent to the National Standard Bodies which will contact the responsible Technical Committee CEN/TC 10. The formats of an interpretation request and the interpretation are given in Annex L. SIST EN 115-1:2009+A1:2010
