The objective of this Standard is applicable for new escalators and moving walks (pallet or belt type) as defined in Clause 3.

This Standard covers 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).

This Standard 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.

NOTE For wiring of escalators or moving walks, refer to AS/NZS 3000 Electrical installations (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules).

This Standard is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, EN 115‑1:2017, Safety of escalators and moving walks — Part 1: Construction and installation.
