4.4 Though 4.3 indicates the theoretical values for escalators (see Table 2) and
moving walks (see Table3), Tables 4 and 5 indicate the practical values to be
considered while calculating the required number of escalators and moving
walks (based on traffic flow pattern).
6.1.2 To prevent collision, a minimum free area around the escalator or
moving walk is defined as per Fig. 4. The height X12, measured from the
steps of the escalator or the pallets or the belt of the moving walk shall
be at least 2.10 m (see X12 in Fig. 4). The distance between the outer
edge of the handrail and walls or other obstacles (see Y10 in Fig. 4) shall
under no circumstances be less than 80 mm horizontally and 25mm
vertically below the lower edge of the handrail (see Y12 in Fig. 7). The
area is permitted to be smaller, if by appropriate measures, the risk of
injury is minimized. 6.1.3 For escalators arranged adjacent to one another
either parallel or criss-cross, the distance between the handrails shall be
not less than 160 mm (see Y11 in Fig. 4).
