Scope

This European Standard specifies the immunity levels and test conditions for lifts, escalators and passenger conveyors, which are permanently installed in buildings and for which CEN/TC 10 has direct responsibility for the production of European Standards, in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances including electrostatic discharges. These levels represent essential EMC requirements ; however, this standard does no specify the basic safety requirements for lifts, escalators and passenger conveyors, which are covered by EN 81-1, EN 81-2 and EN 115. If, however, electronic means are used in safety circuits associated with safety components then this standard applies. In other cases, where ultmate passenger safety is not influenced by EMC considerations, this standard can be used to assess the overall performance. Since lifts travel large vertical distances in buildings, it becomes impraticcable to test the total assembly either in a test laboratory or in situ (where the uncontrolled environment may also infuence the test procedures and results). Likewise, due to pratical restrictions imposed by the lift car internal dimensions, it is impraticable to test the lift car from within. Similar considerations regarding dimensions apply equally to the testing of escalators and passenger conveyors. Therefore, this standard applies to the sub-systems and/or apparatus of lifts, esalators and passenger conveyors, an assembly of which will comprise an installation, the boundaries of which are indicated by example in figures 2 and 3. However this standard does not apply to lighting apparatus and other services amready proven to be in conformity to the EMC Directive.
