Escalator and Dumbwaiter Chinese/European Standards Differences

摘要

European escalator standard EN 115-1:2008 was promulgated in 2008. China's escalator safety standard equivalency calls for adoption of it, but the standards are not exactly the same. For all practical purposes, the China Elevator Standardization Technical Committee has revised the European escalator standard EN 115-1:2008 specifically for China. China's escalator safety standard has thus improved, approaching the quality of its international counterparts. At present, China's escalator safety standard is GB 16899-1997: Escalators and Passenger Safety Rules for the Construction and Installation. It equates to EN 115:1995. GB 16899-2011: Safety Rules for the Construction and Installation of Escalators and Moving Walks and was issued by the China General Administration of Quality, Inspection and Quarantine in July 2011.
