PD CEN/TS 115 discusses the safety of escalators and moving walks. PD CEN/TS 115‑4 is the fourth part of the multi-series PD CEN/TS 115 and gives interpretations for EN 115 series. PD CEN/TS 115‑4 collects interpretations to EN 115-1:2008+A1:2010 and EN 115-1:2017. Interpretations to other standards of the EN 115 series will be added when they are available.
Interpretations aim to improve the understanding of the clause(s) they are referring to and by that facilitate common understanding between manufacturers, lift installers, notified bodies, inspection bodies and national authorities.
Note: Interpretations do not have the same status as the European standards to which they are related. However, the application of interpretations given to the interested parties is with confidence that the relevant European standard has not been wrongly applied.
PD CEN/TS 115‑4 on the safety of escalators and moving walks (interpretations) is useful for:
Sometimes standards need to be explained further due to differences in interpretations and understanding. Interpretations are a practical way to give answers to questions regarding the understanding of clauses in standards, feedback to the CEN-Committee responsible for a standard about the practical experiences resulting from the use of the standard and guidance to further development and improvement of standards, following experience. This is especially relevant in case of accidents and incidents, progress in technology, and state of art.
Accordingly, PD CEN/TS 115‑4 provides you with interpretations to further clarify concepts discussed in EN 115-1:2008+A1:2010 and EN 115-1:2017.
