Introduction
This document is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document has been prepared to provide one means of complying with the requirements of the
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive. The requirements of this document have been specified
so as to ensure a level of electromagnetic emission which will cause minimal disturbance to other
equipment. The levels, however, do not cover the following cases:
a) where the probability of an occurrence likely to produce emissions in excess of those which would
normally be experienced is extremely low, e.g. the emergency stopping of a lift, escalator or moving
walk under a fault condition;
b) where highly susceptible apparatus will be used in the close proximity of the equipment covered by
this document, in which case further measures may have to be taken to:
1) reduce the level of electromagnetic emission to below that specified in this document; or
2) increase the immunity of the affected apparatus.
The given emission limits, on the basis that equipment of the product family range may be installed
both indoor and outdoor in all types of building, involves the switching of heavy currents and high
inductive loads and, generally, is connected to a low voltage system.
Values for the harmonic emission limits are taken from the harmonized standard EN 61000-3-12:2011.
Taking into account the characteristics and environment of lifts, escalators and moving walks, these
harmonic values are applicable for all input currents without current limitation stated by
EN 61000-3-12:2011.
Due to the size of an installed lift, it becomes impracticable to test the total assembly either in a test
laboratory or in situ where the uncontrolled environment may also influence the test procedures and
results. This applies also to measurements within the car. Similar considerations regarding dimensions
apply equally to the testing of escalators and moving walks.

Introduction
This European Standard is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This European Standard has been prepared to provide one means of complying with the requirements
of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive. The requirements of this European Standard
have been specified so as to ensure a level of electromagnetic emission which will cause minimal
disturbance to other equipment. The levels, however, do not cover the following cases:
a) where the probability of an occurrence likely to produce emissions in excess of those which would
normally be experienced is extremely low, e.g. the emergency stopping of a lift, escalator or moving
walk under a fault condition;
b) where highly susceptible apparatus will be used in the close proximity of the equipment covered by
this European Standard, in which case further measures may have to be taken to:
1) reduce the level of electromagnetic emission to below that specified in this European Standard;
or
2) increase the immunity of the affected apparatus.
The given emission limits, are on the basis that equipment of the product family range may be installed
both indoor and outdoor in all types of building, involves the switching of heavy currents and high
inductive loads and, generally, is connected to a low voltage system.
Values for the harmonic emission limits are taken from the harmonized standard EN 61000-3-12:2005.
Taking into account the characteristics and environment of lifts, escalators and moving walks these
harmonic values are applicable for all input currents without current limitation stated by
EN 61000-3-12:2005.
Due to the size of an installed lift, it becomes impracticable to test the total assembly either in a test
laboratory or in situ where the uncontrolled environment may also influence the test procedures and
results. This applies also to measurements within the car. Similar considerations regarding dimensions
apply equally to the testing of escalators and moving walks.
Rational to the revision of EN 12015:1998
a) Important changes
Introduced requirements to control the emissions below 30 MHz of the drive to machine/motor
connection. The emission limits are independent of the magnitude of the conducted current. Limits and
test method are referred to EN 55014-1:2000. Regarding other ports, the radiated tests above 30 MHz
cover the cable connections and there are no known problems below 30 MHz.
Introduced requirements to control mains electricity supply harmonic emissions and voltage
fluctuations.
NOTE The radiation measurements in Table 1 have been harmonised with EN 55011:1998.
The term "installation" has been changed to "system". This is due to the fact that official interpretation
defines that fixed installations are not covered by the conformity assessment procedures for CE
Marking and declaration of conformity according to the EMC Directive, valid for apparatus and systems.
The scope of the standard is applicable to the apparatus and assembly of apparatus of lifts and
escalators and assembly into systems.

prEN 12015:2018 (E)
b) Environmental issues
Lifts, escalators and moving walks are systems whose apparatus and assembly of apparatus are
distributed (and some of which move) throughout the building. The definition in EMC terms of the use
of the building (residential or industrial) cannot be predetermined or assumed to be fixed. Therefore, to
cover requirements in all cases, no differentiation between environments has been made and a single
set of limits has been maintained. This set of high frequency limits is based on the industrial limits of
EN 61000-6-4:1997 and is known to be above the usual limits for the residential environment. This is
justified by the experience that systems in compliance with EN 12015:1998 have not been known to
cause EMC interference with regard to mains and radiated emissions above 30 MHz.
Regarding conducted limits, these are also based on the fact that the supply cabling is separated from
other building supplies at least up to the point of common coupling (PCC). Additionally, system wiring is
segregated in accordance with the manufacturers’ specifications.
Regarding radiated emission limits above 30 MHz, the lift, escalator or moving walk area is separated,
to a large extent, from domestic appliances.
All the limits used take into account that systems have to comply with the safety protection
requirements regarding earth leakage currents. The application of more stringent limits than have been
shown to be adequate, would require the use of larger filters (both inductance and capacitance). The
use of these will increase the susceptibility of the system to low electricity mains supply conditions and
increase earth leakage currents. There is also an increase in power dissipation in the filter, causing (in
the general case) increased energy consumption, additional ventilation and/or cooling requirement for
the building. This is especially valid for higher duty systems.
Rational to the revision of EN 12015:2004
In general, lifts, escalators and moving walks are connected to three-phase supply and considered as a
combination of a balanced three-phase load and one or more loads connected between phase and
neutral or between phases, defined as hybrid equipment in EN 61000-3-12:2005, 3.7. Therefore
EN 61000-3-12:2005, Tables 2, 3 and 4 apply to the system in accordance with flow chart of application
rd
of harmonic limits. In most of the cases, Table 3 and Table 4 apply by prior verification of 3 order
harmonic.
Regarding lifts, escalators and moving walks connected to single-phase supply, EN 61000-3-12:2005,
Table 2 is applicable to the A.C. mains port.
As the supply authorities do not guarantee a defined mains impedance, the mains short circuit power
may vary from location to location. As these parameters are normally not known in advance, a practical
assumption has to be made, based on values already known from other lifts/escalators and moving
walks already in service. Due to that fact, a short circuit ratio R = 250 is defined as an average value
sce
for lifts, escalators and moving walks.
Radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment clearly falls under the 1999/5/EC
Directive (R&TTE) even if it is used as part of lifts, escalators and moving walks.

1 Scope
This document specifies the emission limits in relation to electromagnetic disturbances and test
conditions for lifts, escalators and moving walks, which are intended to be permanently installed in
buildings. These limits however, may not provide full protection against disturbances caused to radio
and TV reception when such equipment is used within distances given in Table 1.
This document is not applicable for apparatus which are manufactured before the date of its publication
as EN.
