ÖNORM EN 115-5

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.
