13、east of progress in the industries concerned, British Standards are subject to periodical review. Suggestions for improvements will be recorded and in due course brought to the notice of the committees charged with the revision of the standards to which they refer. A complete list of British Standar
14、ds, numbering over9,000, fully indexed and with a note of the contents of each, will be found in the BSI Catalogue which may be purchased from BSI Sales Department. The Catalogue may be consulted in many public libraries and similar institutions. This British Standard, prepared under the authority o
15、f the Mechanical Engineering Industry Standards Committee, is a revision of and supersedes the1965 edition ofBS2655, which was entitled “Electric lifts”. The new title reflects the extension of the scope of this British Standard. An amendment to Part2 of this standard has been published, and impleme
16、nts the change in title. The revised Parts1 and3 and additional new Parts are being published separately and, together with Part2, are as follows: Part 1: General requirements for electric, hydraulic and hand-powered lifts. This Part is basically a revision of the1958 edition of BS2655-1, without th
17、e building requirements and list of definitions, and extended to cover the engineering and safety requirements for new hydraulic and hand-powered lifts as well as for new electric lifts. Part 2: Single-speed polyphase induction motors for driving lifts. This Part covers the type of electric motor sp
18、ecially designed for driving lifts. It should be used in conjunction with BS2613 1)and gives additional requirements including the class of lift rating and special limits of temperature rise. Part 3: Arrangements of standard electric lifts. This Part gives standard dimensions for lift wells and mach
19、ine rooms in relation to lift capacity, speed and car internal sizes, for seven classes of lifts. Part 4: General requirements for escalators and passenger conveyors. This Part specifies engineering and safety requirements for escalators and passenger conveyors. The latter may be described as machin
20、es in which the passenger carrying surfaces remain parallel to the direction of motion and are uninterrupted. Part 5: General requirements for paternosters. This Part specifies engineering and safety requirements for paternosters which may be described as machines where series of cars axe continuous
21、ly running in closed loops, and are characterized by the car floors remaining substantially horizontal when the direction of motion is reversed at the extremities of car travel. Part 6: Building construction requirements. This Part specifies structural and fire resistance requirements for the equipm
22、ent covered by Parts1,4 and5. Part 7: Testing and inspection. This Part specifies tests, examination and certification of new and modified equipment covered by Parts1,4 and5. Part 8: Modernization or reconstruction of lifts, escalators and paternosters. This Part specifies engineering and safety req
23、uirements. Part 9: Definitions. This Part gives definitions of terms used in the remainder of the standard. Part 10: General requirements for guarding. This part specifies requirements for the guarding of moving parts and protection against hazards from electrical equipment. It relates to equipment
24、covered in Parts1,4 and5. CP407:1972, British Standard Code of Practice for electric, hydraulic and hand-powered lifts. The code gives general information and guidance for planning, purchasing, installation and maintenance of passenger, goods and service lifts. 1) BS2613, “The electrical performance
25、 of rotating electrical machinery”.BS2655-8:1971 BSI 06-1999 iii In case of difficulty in classifying any equipment in accordance with the headings of Parts1,4 and5, reference should be made to the relevant definitions in Part9. This Part specifies engineering and safety requirements relevant to the
26、 modernization or reconstruction of lifts, escalators and paternosters, and is the first issue of BS2655 which covers this aspect. Throughout this Part of this standard the metric and imperial systems of units are used side by side, but it is important that each contract shall either use the imperia
27、l system throughout or the metric system throughout. A mixture of the two may lead to complications, particularly in relation to ratings of lifts and lift speeds. Such modernization or reconstruction of existing lifts as is commissioned before31 May1984, for use in existing buildings that were built
28、 before31May1979, are permitted to be in accordance with either this standard or BS5655-1. After31 May1984, the requirements of BS5655-1 only are applicable unless it can be shown that, owing to space limitations, compliance is not reasonably practicable. Special provisions are permissible to meet c
29、ertain site conditions often present in buildings that have been in use for many years. It is intended that the use of new equipment should not automatically be restricted because certain site conditions are now more rigorous than formerly. A British Standard does not purport to include all the nece
30、ssary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi toiv, pages1to
31、13 and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on theinside front cover.iv blankBS2655-8:1971 BSI 06-1999 1 1 Scope This Part of the British Standard deals with the engineering and safet
32、y requirements to be incorporated when modernizing and/or reconstructing lifts, escalators and paternosters with the object that parts affected by such changes shall comply with Parts1,4 or5 of this standard as far as it is reasonably practicable to do so. Where it is not reasonably practicable to c
33、omply, provision is made in this Part to allow such deviations as will secure a minimum acceptable standard of safety having regard to circumstances affecting the installation. In other words, it is the intention of this Part to be constructive rather than restrictive, and to allow an installation o
34、f reasonable standard to be modernized or reconstructed in stages as necessary. In the case of completely new installations replacing those existing, special provisions are made to meet certain site restrictions which are often present in buildings that have been in use for many years. These are mad
35、e so that the use of new equipment is not automatically restricted because certain site requirements are now more rigorous than formerly. In cases where a lift, escalator or paternoster is moved to a different location, it is not deemed as an alteration, and the equipment, when reinstalled, shall co
36、mply with all the requirements of Part1 of this standard. Appendix A is a check list which summarizes, for electric lifts, the major alterations covered by this part of the standard and the consequent requirements affecting various parts of the installation. Appendix B provides a similar summary in
37、respect of hydraulic lifts. 2 Electric lifts 2.1 Requirements for the major alterations defined in2.2 All lifts undergoing major alterations shall comply with the requirements of this standard in the following respects: 1) The lift machine shall be provided with an electrically released brake to con
