ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) - PRODUCT FAMILY FOR LIFTS, ESCALATORS AND MOVING WALKS - 12015: EMISSION - 12016: IMMUNITY

TS EN 12015 and TS EN 12016 standards are among the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) product standards. Elevator, escalator and belt device manufacturers design their products according to TS EN 12015 and TS EN 12016 standards and perform testing (EMC Test).

TS EN 12016 standard, basic EMC immunity measurement and methods for elevators, escalators and band devices and systems; TS EN 12015 standard covers emission rules for these equipment.

The purpose of the TS EN 12015 and TS EN 12016 standards is to specify the general characteristics and tests (EMC Test) for the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of elevators, escalators and belts intended to be permanently installed in buildings. These standards do not apply to electromagnetic environments such as radio transmitter stations, railways, heavy industry facilities, and power stations.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Tests:

Electromagnetic Compatibility tests (EMC Test) are tests that control the operation of any electrical and electronic device or system without being affected by and affecting other devices or systems in the environment. EMC Tests are generally examined in 2 general categories: immunity and emission.

Emission Tests specified in EN 12015;

  • Radiated Emission
  • Conducted Emission
  • Harmonics 
  • Click Disturbance

Immunity Tests specified in EN 12016;

  • Electrostatic Discharge - EN 61000-4-2
  • Radiated Immunity - EN 61000-4-3
  • Electrical Fast Transients / Burst - EN 61000-4-4
  • Surge - EN 61000-4-5
  • Conducted Immunity -  EN 61000-4-6
  • Voltage Dips and Interruptions - EN 61000-4-11

Performance Criteria

Performance Criterion A: The apparatus/assembly of apparatus shall continue to operate as intended. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below a performance level specified by its manufacturer, when the apparatus or assembly of apparatus is used as intended.

Performance Criterion B: The apparatus/assembly of apparatus shall continue to operate as intended after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below a performance level specified by its manufacturer, when the apparatus or assembly of apparatus is used as intended

Performance Criterion C: Temporary loss of function is permitted, provided the function is self-recoverable or can be restored by the operation of the controls. 

Performance Criterion D: The apparatus/assembly of apparatus and the associated safety component(s) shall continue to operate as intended. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed other than a failure into a safe mode.
