Product standards cannot be formulated in such a way that they describe all
19、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. Interpretations are a practical way to g
20、ive 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 standards following: 1) experienc
21、e, especially accidents and incidents; 2) progress in technology; 3) state of the art. PD CEN/TS 115-4:2015CEN/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 to EN 115-1:2008+A1:2010. In
22、terpretations 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, notified bodies, inspection bodie
23、s 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 wrongly applied. 2 Normative refe
