Scope:

This standard covers escalator and moving walk driving-machine brake and driving-machine motor-controlled dynamic braking systems in accordance with ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators.

Project need:

To provide a standard to which specific components can be certified, thereby replacing existing TILs and LTRs that are required to be closed. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of the CSA B44 Technical Committee. It will provide the industry with a standard for escalator and moving walk driving-machine brake and driving-machine motor-controlled dynamic braking systems. This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interests: a) ensuring that the latest innovative/technology/safety features are available for users, b) addressing needs of regulators by providing suitable requirements; and c) supporting certification bodies.
