Foreword
This document (prEN 115:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 10 “Lifts, escalators
and moving walks”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 115:1995.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA,, which is an integral part of this document.
Considering that EN 115:1995 had given rise to requests for interpretation and this standard did not fully
comply with EN 414 (today CEN Guide 414 "Safety of machinery - Rules for the drafting and presentation of
safety standards"), CEN/TC 10 asked its working group 2 to revise EN 115:1995: This task was completed by
CEN/TC 10/WG 2 in 2005 after 19 working meetings by
taking into account the interpretations;
taking over the agreed upon points from the work carried out by ISO/TC 178/WG 5;
adapting the requirements to the state of the art using the risk assessment methodology as given in
ISO/TS 14798:2000;
improving the references to other standards according to the progress in that field;
covering the requirements of CEN Guide 414 by creating a new structure which addresses the safety
rules for the machine and provides requirements in the normative annexes and information in the
informative annexes;
increasing the measures against foreseeable misuse;
reviewing the safety requirements for escalators and moving walks.
The date of withdrawl (DOW) of EN 115:1995 and its amendments EN 115/A1:1998 and EN 115/A2:2004
shall be 2 years after the date of availability (DAV) of the revised standard.
Introduction
This standard is a Type C Standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-2.
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.
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.
(0.5.2) 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.
(0.8) 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. (new)The
formats of an interpretation request and the interpretation are given in Annex K.
1 Scope
1.1 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).
1.2 Existing escalators and moving walks are not subject to this standard. It is, however, recommended that
they be adapted to this standard.
This document is not applicable to escalators and moving walks which are manufactured before the date of its
publication as EN.
1.3 If some dimensions of this standard cannot be kept due to structural conditions in existing buildings, it
has to be defined in the individual case which alternative requirements are necessary.
