3: Energy calculation and classification for escalators and moving walks"; (26 page(s), in 
Arabic)  
6. Description of content:  This draft Stan dard specifies generic tools for estimating energy 
consumption of escalators and moving walks, and a consistent method for energy 
performance classification of existing, modernized, or new escalators and moving walks.  
It considers the energy performance during the operational portion of the life cycle of 
escalators and moving walks. It does not cover energy consumption and classification of 
the ancillary equipment, such as the following:  
a) lighting with the exception of comb plate lighting, s tep gap lighting, and traffic light 
(comb plate lighting, step gap lighting, and traffic light are considered essential for the 
operation of the equipment and are therefore not defined as ancillary equipment);  
b) cooling and heating and machine room ventil ation;

d) environmental conditions;  
e) consumption through the power sockets.  G/TBT/N/EGY/468

  There can be other electrical loads not associated with the escalator or moving walk, and 
not included.  
It consid ers all escalators and inclined moving walks up to a rise of 8 m and horizontal 
moving walks with a length up to 60 m (this represents about 85 % of worldwide installed 
units).  
Worth mentioning is that this draft standard is technically identical with ISO 25745 -
3:2015 (confirmed 2020).  
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable:  Safety requirements; Quality requirements  
8. Relevant documents:
