BS 5656 : Part 1 : 1997
Foreword
This Part of BS 5656 has been prepared by Technical Committee MHE/4, Lifts, hoists and escalators, and is applicable to the testing and examination of new escalators and passenger conveyors installed in accordance with BS EN 115. BS 5656 consists of the following Parts:
| | | |
Part 1: Specification and proformas for test and examination of new installations Part 2: Specification and proformas for test and examination after modernization (in preparation) It was originally intended that BS 5656 (EN 115) would be renumbered as BS 5656 : Part 1 to produce a logical pair of stand-alone standards for escalators and passenger conveyors. However, as the practice of dual numbering an EN as a BS was replaced by implementation as a BS EN, the 1995 revision of EN 115 was published in the UK as BS EN 115 and the identifier BS 5656 was no longer used for current standards. Nevertheless, as this BS identifier was well known within the industry, it was decided to retain it for the testing and examination standard. Copyright is waived by BSI in respect of the tables in this standard. Enquiries concerning bulk printed supplies of the form in those tables can be addressed to BSI Customer Services, Sales Department, 389 Chiswick High Road, London W4 4AL. CAUTION. During any inspection and test, maintenance or repair it is suggested that precautions should be taken so that escalators and passenger conveyors cannot be set into motion without the knowledge and consent of the person performing such work. (See 16.1 of BS EN 115 : 1995 and BS 7801). In addition, safety barricades should be erected at the ends of each escalator or passenger conveyor before any floor coverings or steps etc. are removed and should remain in position until the escalator or passenger conveyor is safe and suitable for public use. (See 15.1.2.3 of BS EN 115 : 1995). Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 to 26, an inside back cover and a back cover.

BS 5656 : Part 1 : 1997
1 Scope
This Part of BS 5656 specifies requirements for the testing and examination of new escalators and passenger conveyors covered by BS EN 115, before the equipment is put into service. This Part does not specify such requirements for the testing and examination of equipment after modernization (this is dealt with in Part 2) or for periodic examination. This Part includes proformas for certificates of test and examination (tables 1 and 2), which cover construction, certain aspects of performance, and contract data. A requirement to provide test certificates relating to certain components of the equipment is also specified in this Part.
4.1.1 The performance of certain tests, as required to complete the appropriate test and examination certification (see 4.1.2) shall be undertaken for every installation before it is put into normal service, i.e. at the time of manufacture and commissioning. 4.1.2 The form of the appropriate certificate for test and examination conforming to the requirements of 16.2 of BS EN 115 : 1995 and referred to in 4.1.1 shall be as follows: a) escalators b) passenger conveyors Table 1 Table 2
2 References
2.1 Normative references This Part of BS 5656 incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from specific editions of other publications. These normative references are made at the appropriate places in the text and the cited publications are listed on the inside back cover. For dated references, only the edition cited applies; any subsequent amendments to or revisions of the cited publication apply to this Part of BS 5656 only when incorporated in the reference by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the cited publication applies, together with any amendments. 2.2 Informative references This Part of BS 5656 refers to other publications that provide information or guidance. Editions of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions.
4.2 Component testing Copies of test certificates relating to particular components shall be available prior to, or during, commissioning tests. These test certificates shall relate to individual or type tests carried out by the component manufacturer, escalator/passenger conveyor manufacturer, or an independent body. 4.3 Availability of certificates Copies of completed certificates appropriate to the type of equipment, as referred to in 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 shall be available for inspection in accordance with 16.2.1 and 16.2.2 of BS EN 115 : 1995.
5 High voltage test (at manufacturer's works)

The dielectric or electrical apparatus (excluding motors, generators, transformers, electronic apparatus and instruments, shall withstand a test voltage of 10 times the working voltage, with a maximum of 2000 V when applied as follows: a) between the live parts and the case or the frame with all circuits completed; b) between main terminals or equivalent parts with all circuits open; c) between any live parts of independent circuits.
NOTE. The dielectric or electrical apparatus should be tested in accordance with the appropriate British Standard.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this Part of BS 5656 the definitions given in clause 3 of BS EN 115 : 1995 apply.
4 Test and examination

4.1 Test and examination after manufacture, installation and commissioning
NOTE. All test equipment, instruments and personnel needed to complete the testing and inspection after installation should be provided by the escalator manufacturer. A power supply at the declared voltage and frequency, for test and adjustment purposes, should also be provided by the purchaser.
The test voltage shall be alternating of approximately sine wave form with a frequency of approximately 50 Hz and shall be applied for 1 min.
NOTE. Owing to the impracticability of applying the foregoing tests b) and c) on controllers and similar apparatus after controller wiring has been completed, these tests should be made at convenient stages of manufacture. A test certificate to this effect issued by the manufacturer is acceptable.
BSI 1997
BS 5656 : Part 1 : 1997
6 Electrical tests (after installation)

Electrical installations, excluding electronic equipment, shall be subjected to test, by instruments as follows. a) Apply d.c. test voltage which is not less than twice the r.m.s value of the a.c. supply voltage or not greater than 500 V d.c. for low voltage circuits, to prove that the insulation resistance to earth is not less than 0.5 MW.
NOTE. If dampness in a new building prevents a reading of 0.5 MW from being obtained, an insulation resistance of 0.25 MW is provisionally acceptable provided a retest figure of 0.5 MW is obtained when conditions in the building improve.
b) Determine that the earthing of all conduit, trunking, switch cases and similar metal work is continuous and does not exceed 0.5 W impedance.
NOTE. An escalator or passenger conveyor installation is considered to be a self-contained piece of equipment and as such is not required to conform in all respects to BS 7671 : 1992 (formerly the IEE Regulations) in particular with regard to the earthing of all apparatus.
