Safety of escalators and moving walks – Part 1: Construction and installation
(Second revision)
This Malaysian Standard specifies the construction and installation of new escalators and moving walks (pallet or belt type) as defined in Clause 3. This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to escalators and moving walks when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This standard is not applicable to escalators and moving walks which were manufactured before the date of its publication. It is, however, recommended that existing installations be adapted to this standard.
