6 Revision of EN 81-1 & EN 81-2 Background

7 Drivers CEN TC 10 (, escalators and moving walks) Evolution of the state of the art for safety: examples of input The current standard is more than 13 years old and need to be aligned with the current safety requirements Incorporate the result of studies of the Lift Industry on safety aspects, such as strength of the doors and requirements for safety spaces Alignment to the changes in European legislations such as Directive Alignment to the requirements of the recent EN standards, such as EN and EN European Standardization for, Escalators and Moving Walks 7

8 Drivers CEN TC 10 (, escalators and moving walks) User experience: examples of input More than 80 CEN Interpretation on current edition Three amendments since 1998, A1 (PESSRAL), A2 (MRL) and A3 (UCM) Input from European interest groups, such as trade Associations and the EU Commission Contribution and requests from non-european interest groups from Asia Pacific, North America, etc. ISO/TC 178 work on harmonization of International standards New technologies and current state of the art European Standardization for, Escalators and Moving Walks 8

9 Drivers CEN TC 10 (, escalators and moving walks) Ease of use: examples of input Complete incorporation of three amendments to the body of the standards Remove redundancies of text EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 Consolidate clauses within the standard Formulate the text clearly to prevent misunderstandings Simplify the maintenance of the standards Compliance to the standardisation requirements established by CEN, such as Guide 414 (ISO Guide 78), Guide 4, Guide 6 and Guide 12 European Standardization for, Escalators and Moving Walks 9

10 Main inputs CEN TC 10 (, escalators and moving walks) Text of EN 81-1 & EN 81-2 and Amendments Interpretations Comments from International interest groups Asia Pacific North America etc Comments Outstanding from previous revisions Legislative Directive Machinery Directive Low Voltage Directive EN EN CEN Consultant Comments from European interest groups EU Commission Notified Body for Trade Associations ELA ELCA EFESME etc. Standardisation Requirements CEN Guides 4,6,12 CEN Guide 414 European Standardization for, Escalators and Moving Walks 10

11 Outcome CEN TC 10 (, escalators and moving walks) Clauses are supported by formal Risk Assessment Format is harmonised with current CEN & ISO standards Clauses are consolidated and redundancies are removed Text is formulated clearly to avoid misunderstandings and need for interpretations Overall user friendliness is improved Easier to be used by different functions in the profession, such as designers, test laboratories, inspectors, etc. Maintenance of the standards is simplified and improved European Standardization for, Escalators and Moving Walks 11

14 Revision of EN 81-1 & EN 81-2 International dimension

15 International dimension CEN TC 10 (, escalators and moving walks) Worldwide Acceptance of EN 81-1 and EN 115 Standards (2009) Moscow Brussels New York Beijing Tokyo Mexico Dubai National standards based on EN 81-1 & EN 115 in preparation Singapore Legend: EN81-1 and EN 115 As National standard, or National standards are based on, or Are accepted besides other international standards Sao Paulo Cape Town Sydney European Standardization for, Escalators and Moving Walks 15

16 International dimension CEN TC 10 (, escalators and moving walks) EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 have wide acceptance around the world Accepted by many countries with or without the National adaptations Unique opportunity for harmonisation of regional codes and standards, resulting in Promoting and harmonizing the level of safety Establishing common technical understanding for the entire profession Improving the efficiency of the industry with benefits for all stakeholders To maintain such harmonization, close cooperation of National and International standardization organizations is a must European Standardization for, Escalators and Moving Walks 16
