Introduction

This European Standard is a Type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.

This European Standard has been prepared to provide one means of conforming to the requirements of the
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, the Lifts Directive and the Machinery Directive. The
requirements of this European Standard have been specified so as to ensure an adequate level of
electromagnetic immunity for most cases.

The apparatus concerned and the extent to which hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated
in the scope of this document.

Where the provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards,
for apparatus that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.

Test levels and immunity performance criteria are defined for:

— apparatus which are safety components or are used in conjunction with safety components, (safety
circuits);

— apparatus used in general function circuits.

The test levels and requirements are given on the basis that the apparatus, generally, is connected to a low
voltage system.

The requirements for safety circuits provide one means of demonstrating conformity with the essential health
and safety requirements of the Lifts Directive and the Machinery Directive with regard to immunity against
electromagnetic phenomena.

Due to the size of an installed lift, it becomes impracticable to test the total assembly either in a test laboratory
or in situ where the uncontrolled environment may also influence the test procedures and results. This applies
also to measurements within the car. Similar considerations regarding dimensions apply equally to the testing
of escalators and moving walks.

Rational to the revision of the standard EN 12016:1998

a) Important changes

The Scope excludes severe electromagnetic environments and apparatus already proven to be in conformity
with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive.

The term “installation” has been changed to “system”. This is due to the fact that official interpretation defines
that fixed installations are not covered by the conformity assessment procedures for CE marking and
declaration of conformity according to the EMC Directive. The scope of the standard is applicable to the
apparatus and assembly of apparatus of lifts and escalators and assembly into systems.

New requirements on radio frequency electromagnetic field above 500 MHz, these are extended to cover the
digital mobile telephone services up to 1960 MHz.

New requirements for surge testing on safety circuits.

New requirements on radio frequency electromagnetic field regarding safety devices as defined by the Lifts
Directive and mobile telephones or radio-transmitters as a result of a risk assessment. It is assumed that

4
 BS EN 12016:2013
EN 12016:2013 (E)

mobile telephones and radio-transmitters are not used at frequencies up to 166 MHz near safety circuits of
equipment covered by the scope of this standard.

Higher requirements on several environmental phenomena considering the progress on EMC technology and
the results of the risk assessment.

New requirements have been introduced for immunity to mains power supply voltage interruptions and voltage
dips.

b) Environmental issues

Lifts, escalators and moving walks are systems whose component apparatus/assembly of apparatus are
distributed (and some of which move) throughout the building. The definition in EMC terms of the use of the
building (residential or industrial) cannot be predetermined or assumed to be fixed. Therefore, to cover
requirements in all cases, no differentiation between environments has been made and a single set of limits
has been maintained.

Severe electromagnetic environments have not been considered. Examples of these are: radio-transmitter
stations, railways and metros, heavy industrial plant, electricity power stations. Additional tests and immunity
measures may need to be taken on apparatus to be used in these environments.

It is assumed that no ports connected to safety circuit only are rated at currents greater than 100 A.

Rational to the revision of the standard EN 12016:2004+A1:2008

New requirements on radio frequency electromagnetic field to cover the digital mobile telephone services and
wireless communication systems up to 2 655 MHz.

Performance criteria requirements for radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment as defined
by Directive 1999/5/EC used in combined apparatus/assembly of apparatus.

1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard specifies the immunity performance criteria and test levels for apparatus used
in lifts, escalators and moving walks which are intended to be permanently installed in buildings including the
basic safety requirements in regard to their electromagnetic environment. These levels represent essential
EMC requirements.

The standard refers to EM conditions as existing in residential, office and industrial buildings.

This standard addresses commonly known EMC related hazards and hazardous situations relevant to lifts,
escalators and moving walks when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the lift
installer or escalator and/or moving walk manufacturer.

However:

— performance criteria and test levels for apparatus/assembly of apparatus used in general function circuits
do not cover situations with an extremely low probability of occurrence;

— this standard does not apply to other apparatus already proven to be in conformity to the EMC Directive,
and not related to the safety of the lift, escalator or moving walk, such as lighting apparatus,
communication apparatus, etc.

1.2 This European Standard does not apply to electromagnetic environments such as:

— radio-transmitter stations,

— railways and metros,

— heavy industrial plant,

— electricity power station,

which need additional investigations.

1.3 This standard is not applicable to apparatus which were manufactured before the date of its publication
as EN 12016.

4 Test procedure
4.1 The tests shall be carried out as stated in EN 61000-4-2:2009, EN 61000-4-3:2006,
EN 61000-4-4:2012, EN 61000-4-5:2006, EN 61000-4-6:2009, EN 61000-4-11:2004, as appropriate (see
Table 1 to Table 7).

An attempt shall be made to maximise the susceptibility by varying the position of the test sample in the test
facility.

4.2 Travelling cables or any other cables likely to be more than 5 m long shall be represented by a sample
of at least 5 m long connected to the relevant port for the purpose of testing for susceptibility.

4.3 It is not always possible to measure the immunity levels for every function of the apparatus/assembly of
apparatus. In such cases the most critical period of operation shall be selected.

4.4 The test shall be carried out at a single set of environmental conditions within the specified operating
range of temperature, humidity, air pressure and supply voltage, unless otherwise indicated in the standards
referred to in 4.1.

4.5 Tests shall be carried out in well-defined and reproducible conditions for each test.

10
 BS EN 12016:2013
EN 12016:2013 (E)

4.6 To facilitate testing, assemblies of apparatus can be tested together. However where apparatus contain
safety circuits, the tests shall prove that the safety circuits comply with the immunity requirements for all
circuits and specific requirements for safety circuits.

This does not imply that those parts of the whole assembly, which are general function circuits, have to
comply with the safety circuit requirements.

4.7 Tests shall be carried out at the following ports of the apparatus or assembly of apparatus where they
exist:

— enclosure port (see Table 1);

— ports for signal and control lines not crossing system boundaries (see Table 2);

— ports for monitoring and remote alarm systems crossing the system boundaries (see Table 3);

— input and output DC power ports with current rating ≤ 100 A (see Table 4);

— input and output DC power ports with current rating > 100 A (see Table 5);

— input and output A.C. power ports with current rating at ≤ 100 A per phase (see Table 6);

— input and output A.C. power ports with current rating > 100 A per phase (see Table 7).

4.8 The configuration and mode of operation during measurement shall be recorded.

4.9 Test values shall be applied as specified in Table 1 to Table 7, and the performance criteria in 6.2 shall
be met as appropriate. The tests shall be carried out individually as single tests and in sequence.

EN 55024:2010 shall be applied to telecommunication ports as defined in EN 55022:2010.

5 Applicability of tests
5.1 The application of tests for evaluation of immunity depends on the type of apparatus/assembly of
apparatus, its configuration, ports, technology and operating conditions.

5.2 It might be determined from consideration of the electrical characteristics and usage of a particular
apparatus/assembly of apparatus that some of the tests are inappropriate and therefore unnecessary. In such
a case, the decision and justification not to test shall be recorded.

5.3 Where deviations from the test methods specified in 4.1 are applied, such deviations shall be justified
and recorded.

6 Evaluation of tests results

6.1 Introduction

The special requirements of the product family make it necessary to define precise criteria for the evaluation
of the immunity test results.

The basic safety requirements of the system (lift, escalator or moving walk) are specified in EN 81-1, EN 81-2
and EN 115-1. For this reason, a performance criterion derived from the immunity levels of
EN 61000-6-1:2007 is deemed sufficient for most functions. However, for safety circuits, where any
malfunction that may produce an unsafe operating mode cannot be tolerated, higher immunity levels derived
from EN 61000-6-2:2005 are stipulated.

11
BS EN 12016:2013
EN 12016:2013 (E)

If radio equipment is used in combined apparatus/assembly of apparatus, uncontrolled operation of a

transmitter during testing is not allowed.

6.2 Performance criteria

A functional description of the apparatus or assembly of apparatus and a definition of performance criteria,
during or as a consequence of testing shall be recorded.

The definition of performance criteria shall be based on:

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. In some cases, the
performance level may be replaced by a permissible loss of performance. If the minimum performance level or
the permissible performance loss is not specified by the manufacturer then either of these may be derived
from the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus
or assembly of apparatus if 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. In some cases the
performance level may be replaced by a permissible loss of performance. During the test, degradation of
performance is however allowed. No change of actual operating state or stored data is allowed. If the
minimum performance level or the permissible performance loss is not specified by the manufacturer then
either of these may be derived from the product description and documentation and what the user may
reasonably expect from the apparatus or assembly of apparatus if 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.

6.3 Enclosure ports of safety circuits

Where a risk assessment demonstrates that the location of a safety circuit may allow a mobile telephone or
emergency services radio-transmitter to be placed directly beside or on the device, then the enclosure port of
the device shall be implemented so that the performance criterion D is satisfied in these conditions.

7 Documentation for the installer of the apparatus/assembly of apparatus

The installer shall be provided with documentary information and instructions for installation and use so that
compliance with this standard is maintained.

This shall include where applicable:

— instructions for assembly and physical arrangement with other apparatus;

— instructions and precautions for interconnection to other apparatus;

— specifications of interconnection cables and devices;

— instructions for commissioning and testing;

— guidance on avoiding incorrect actions and assembly of apparatus which are known to cause non-
compliance with this standard.
