Safety of escalators and moving walksPart 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.
