24、5700:2011EN 15700:2011 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010. The travelators covered and the range of hazardous phenomena and situations and dangerous events covered are indicated in the scope of this document. When provisions of this type C s
25、tandard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for travelators that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.

26、00:2011 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable for travelators for leisure or winter sports use. These requirements are applicable to travelators for the transport of passengers wearing snow-sliding devices or pedestrians wearing ski boots or heavy boots who may be carrying their snow-sl
27、iding devices for winter sports activities. For other uses, users shall wear suitable (enclosed and solid) footwear for travelators. NOTE Snow-sliding devices include seated ski equipment for handicapped people. This European Standard has been prepared on the basis of the automatic operation of thes
28、e installations with no staff permanently present at the actual installation. It covers requirements relating to the prevention of accidents and the safety of workers. This European Standard covers all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events specific to travelators, for le
29、isure or winter sports activities, when they are used in conformity with the application for which they are intended, as well as for inappropriate applications which could be reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard does not apply either to moving walks as sp
30、ecified in EN 115 or to loading bands as specified in EN 1907. This European Standard does not apply to travelators manufactured prior to the date of its publication as an EN. 2 Normative references The following reference documents are indispensible for the application of this document.

39、f this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100:2010, EN 1907:2005, EN 619:2002 and the following apply. 3.1 travelator continuous transport installation used for leisure or winter sporting activities, comprising an electrically driven moving belt on which the passengers are transpo
40、rted standing up NOTE This belt may be either continuous or modular 3.2 drum continuous belt travelator component used to drive or return the belt 3.3 wheel modular belt travelator component used to drive or return the belt 3.4 safety function all the operations intended to recognize the occurrence
41、of certain states or specific events constituting a dangerous situation. These operations initiate the processes intended to reduce the risks, in particular stopping the installation. A safety function starts by recognizing the conditions and evaluating the physical parameters on the travelator. It
42、ends with initiating the process or with the completion of what has been initiated BS EN 15700:2011EN 15700:2011 (E) 8 3.5 electrical safety device assemblage of components which carry out all the operations of a safety function 3.6 break circuit circuit through which a permanent current normally fl
43、ows. The desired function is initiated by interrupting the current flow 3.7 safety circuits circuits on which the safety functions and emergency stopping devices act directly or which monitor the physical parameters relevant to safety and, if required, compare them, and which stop the travelator or
44、prevent it from unexpectedly starting up 4 List of significant hazards 4.1 General safety principles This clause contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events that are covered by this standard and which, on the basis of a risk analysis, have been identified as being
45、significant for this type of machinery and require action to be taken to eliminate or reduce the risk. These actions are then described in the form of requirements in the remainder of this standard. The hazards have been listed on the basis of EN ISO 14121-1. Account is taken of a passenger falling
46、so that it does not lead to a hazardous situation. 4.2 List of significant risks 4.2.1 Mechanical risks Injury through falling onto the travelator or from the travelator; injury through passengers colliding with each other; injury through colliding with the components of the travelator or obstacles
47、situated within the travelator environment; injury through cutting or shearing; injury of a third party against the travelator; injury through pinching, crushing or entanglement; injury through strangling resulting from an item of clothing getting entangled; injury through contact with moving parts.
48、 4.2.2 Electrical risks Injury through contact with live parts of the travelator; injury due to the electromagnetic fields; BS EN 15700:2011EN 15700:2011 (E) 9 injury due to overvoltage (e.g. lightning strike). 4.2.3 Thermal risks Burns. 4.3 List of hazardous situations or danger factors Passengers
49、slipping on the belt (see 5.8.2.2); change in speed or difference in speed between the passenger and the belt (see 5.2.3.3, 5.2.3.4, 5.2.5); too steep a gradient or too significant a change in gradient (see 5.2.3); loss of stability of the travelator (see 5.2.1, 5.8); sudden start or stop of the belt (see 5.4.3, 5.5.2); unexpected start-up of the travelator (see 5.4.3, 5.5.3.5, 5.6.1, 5.6.3); break of the moving belt or deterioration of the travelator (see 5.5.7, 5.8.1.4.1, 7.3.
