EN 115-2 Safety of escalators and moving walks - Part 2: Rules for the improvement of safety of existing escalators and moving walks © ELA | T. Kausel | 6-Apr-17 | Page 1 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

Background European Union More than 75 000 escalators and moving walks are in operation More than 50% were installed in the last century These machines are operational at different safety levels with different risk levels which may cause accidents. In today's legal environment, owners and maintenance companies must warrant a high degree of safety for users and service technicians. © ELA | T.

Approach of EN 115-2 Categorization of hazards and hazardous situations, each of which has been analyzed by a risk assessment Provision of corrective actions to Improve, step by step, the safety of all existing units to today’s state of the art for safety Enable each unit to be audited and safety measures to be identified and implemented List the high, medium and low risks and corrective actions which can be applied in separate steps in order to mitigate (reduce) the risks © ELA | T. Kausel | 6-Apr-17 | Page 4 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

Use of this standard National authorities to determine their own programs of implementation in a step by step process Process in a reasonable and practicable way based on the level of risk (e.g. high, medium, low) and social and economic considerations Owners to follow their responsibilities according to existing regulations (e.g. Use of Work Equipment Directive) Maintenance companies and/or inspection bodies to inform the owners on the safety level of their installations Owners to upgrade the existing units on a voluntary basis © ELA | T. Kausel | 6-Apr-17 | Page 5 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

The Scope This European Standard gives rules for improving the safety of existing escalators and moving walks => Aims to reach an equivalent level of safety to that of a newly installed escalator and moving walk by the application of today’s state of the art for safety. © ELA | T. Kausel | 6-Apr-17 | Page 6 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

The Scope This standard includes the improvement of safety of existing escalators and moving walks for: Users Maintenance and inspection personnel Persons outside the escalator or moving walk (but in its immediate vicinity) Authorized persons This standard is not applicable to: Safety during transport, installation, repairs and dismantling of escalators and moving walks Spiral escalators Accelerating moving walks © ELA | T.
