4. Products covered (HS or CCCN where applicable, otherwise national tariff 
heading. ICS numbers may be provided in addition, where applicable):  Lifts. 
Escalators (ICS code(s): 91.140.90)  
5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notifi ed document:  Draft of the 
Egyptian Standard for " Energy performance of lifts, escalators and moving walks — Part 
2: Energy calculation and classification for lifts (elevators)"; (24 page(s), in Arabic)  
6. Description of content:  This draft Standard speci fies a method to estimate energy 
consumption based on measured values, calculation, or simulation, on an annual basis 
for traction, hydraulic and positive drive lifts on a single unit basis, and an energy 
classification system for new, existing, and modern ized traction, hydraulic, and positive 
drive lifts on a single unit basis.  
It applies to passenger and goods passenger lifts with rated speeds greater than 0,15 
m/s and only considers the energy performance during the operational portion of the life 
cycle of the lifts. For other types of lifts (e.g. service lifts, lifting platforms, etc.), it can 
be taken as a reference.  
It does not cover energy aspects, which affect the measurements, calculations, and 
simulations, such as the following: hoist way lig hting; heating and cooling equipment in 
the lift car; machine room lighting; machine room heating, ventilation, and air 
conditioning; non -lift display systems, CCTV security cameras, etc.; non -lift monitoring 
systems (e.g. building management systems, etc. ); effect of lift group dispatching on 
energy consumption; environmental conditions; consumption through the power sockets; 
lifts whose travel includes an express zone (an express zone is unlikely to affect the 
average car load but can significantly affect  the average travel distance).  G/TBT/N/EGY/469
