This European Standard specifies the emission limits 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 electromagnetic interference. These limits however, may not provide full protection against disturbances caused to radio and TV reception when such equipment is used within distances given in table1. Since lifts travel large vertical distances in buildings, it becomes impracticable to test the installation either in a test laboratory or in situ (where the uncontrolled environment can also influence the test procedures and results). Likewise, due to practical restrictions imposed by the lift car internal dimensions, it is impracticable 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, escalators 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 already proven to be in conformity to the EMC Directive. Equipment covered by this standard can also fall into the scope of EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3, IEC 1000-3-4 and IEC 1000-3-5 as appropriate.
