Safety of escalators and moving walks - Part 1: Construction and installation
1.1 This draft European Standard is applicable for new escalators and moving walks (pallet or belt type) as defined in Clause 3.
This draft European 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 This document is not applicable to escalators and moving walks which were manufactured before the date of its publication. It is, however, recommended that existing installations be adapted to this standard.
Sicherheit von Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteigen - Teil 1: Konstruktion und Einbau
1.1 Dieser Europäische Norm-Entwurf gilt für neue Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteige (Paletten- oder Gurtkonstruktion), wie im Abschnitt 3 definiert.
Dieser Europäische Norm-Entwurf behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungsereignisse, die auf Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteige zutreffen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß und unter Bedingungen von durch den Hersteller vernünftigerweise vorhersehbaren Fehlanwendungen verwendet werden (siehe Abschnitt 4).
1.2 Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteige, die vor dem Datum seiner Veröffentlichung hergestellt wurden. Es wird jedoch empfohlen, dass bestehende Anlagen an diese Norm angepasst werden.
Sécurité des escaliers mécaniques et trottoirs roulants - Partie 1 : Construction et installation
1.1 Le présent projet de Norme européenne est applicable aux nouveaux escaliers mécaniques et trottoirs roulants (à palettes ou à bande) tels que définis à l’Article 3.
Le présent projet de Norme européenne prend en compte tous les phénomènes dangereux, situations et événements dangereux significatifs relatifs aux escaliers mécaniques et trottoirs roulants, utilisés conformément à l’usage pour lequel ils ont été prévus ainsi que dans des cas d’utilisations inappropriées qui peuvent être raisonnablement prévisibles par le constructeur (voir Article 4).
1.2 Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux escaliers mécaniques et trottoirs roulants fabriqués avant sa date de publication. Il est toutefois recommandé que les installations existantes soient adaptées à cette norme.

EN 115-1:2017 (E) 6 European foreword This document (EN 115-1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 10 “Lifts, escalators and moving walks”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2019. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 115-1:2008+A1:2010. The need for a replacement was based on the following points: a) improvement in safety due to changes in proven technology; b) the need to reflect changes to the state of the art; — new structure for electric requirements with clauses for protective, safety and control devices and functions; — requirements for step inserts/fixings; — expansion of operational brake by electrical braking; — update on test material for skirting; — inclusion of fire protection requirements; — introduction of 2-direction-mode; — inclusion of a stop switch indicator; — introduction of inspection control actuated by the use of both hands; — description of barriers to prevent access of trolley; — requirements for fixed devices in the unrestricted area; — inclusion of seismic design requirements; c) incorporation of essential health and safety requirements from the relevant EU Directives; d) elimination of reported errors; e) clarification of the text and incorporation of proposals resulting from interpretation requests 1); f) improvement of the references to other standards according to the progress in that field;
1) Within CEN/TC 10 an interpretation committee has been established to answer questions about the spirit in which the experts have drafted the various clauses of this standard. All such interpretations are published within CEN/TS 115-4 [1] until incorporated by amendment into the standards concerned. SIST EN 115-1:2017

Foreword
This document (prEN 115-1:2015) 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 115-1:2008+A1:2010.
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.
The need for a replacement was based on the following points:
a) improvement in safety due to changes in proven technology;
b) the need to reflect changes to the state of the art;
1) new structure for electric requirements with clauses for protective, safety and control devices and
functions;
2) requirements for step inserts;
