Standards Development
This document specifies the safety rules for new escalators/moving walks replacing existing escalators/moving walks installed in existing buildings where, due to limitations enforced by building constraints, certain requirements of EN 115‑1:2017 cannot be fully met.
This document only applies when replacing existing escalators/moving walks where structural constraints within an existing building make the installation of fully EN 115‑1:2017 compliant escalators/moving walks impossible.
This document addresses a number of these constraints, gives safety requirements for alternative solutions and covers:
— the replacement of an existing escalator/moving walk by a new one in an existing building.This document does not cover:
— construction and installation of a new escalator / moving walk in an existing building, which is not replacing an existing escalator/moving walk;
— replacement or modifications of some parts of existing escalator/moving walk, e.g. intruss modernization;
— major modifications of existing escalator/moving walk, e.g. change of the location (see EN 115‑1:2017, Annex L);
— other applications outside of the scope of EN 115‑1:2017.
The significant hazards for the protective/risk reduction measures dealt with in this document are listed in Annex A “List of significant hazards”.
This document is not applicable to escalator/moving walk manufactured before the date of its publication.
