PD CEN/TS 115-4:2015 CEN/TS 115-4:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Standards reflect the consensus of the best European expertise and are prepared with highest care. Product standards cannot be formulated in such a
19、 way that they describe all possible technical solutions and therefore exclude all uncertainties regarding the understanding of the required provisions. On the other hand, technology is in a permanent evolution, the progress of which cannot be incorporated into standards quickly enough. Interpretati
20、ons are a practical way to give a) answers to questions regarding the understanding of clauses in standards, b) feedback to the CEN-Committee responsible for a standard about the practical experiences resulting from the use of the standard, c) guidance to further development and improvement of stand
21、ards following: 1) experience, especially accidents and incidents; 2) progress in technology; 3) state of the art. PD CEN/TS 115-4:2015 CEN/TS 115-4:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Specification is a collection of interpretations related to the EN 115 series. This document collects interpretations
22、 to EN 115-1:2008+A1:2010. Interpretations to other standards of the EN 115 series will be added when they are available. Interpretations aim to improve the understanding of the clause(s) they are referring to and by that facilitating common understanding between manufacturers, lift installers, noti
23、fied bodies, inspection bodies and national authorities. Interpretations do not have the same status as the European Standards to which they are related. However, the application of interpretations should give to the interested parties confidence that the relevant European Standard has not been wron
24、gly applied. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
