Sets out requirements for electric moving walks for carrying passengers. Covers constant speed and accelerating type moving walks.

This Interim Standard sets out requirements for electric moving walks for carrying passengers.This Standard is complementary to AS 1735.1; however, its requirements take precedence over corresponding requirements of AS 1735.1. Requirements for periodic inspection and testing are given in Appendix A.
