FOS 2015-28: Moving an escalator, port stair lift or platform lift
Question: What requirements apply when moving an escalator, gate, stairlift or platform lift?
Response:
When moving a used escalator, gate, platform lift or stairlift to a new installation location, it is considered a new device at the new installation location and must undergo an initial inspection. However, it does not have to be CE marked again unless extensive changes are made.
The requirements in AFS 2008:3 must be met.
When modifying an escalator, gate, platform lift or stairlift, the requirements of BFS 2011:12 must also be met. The modified or replaced part must meet the requirements of the applicable regulation.
