Background

Revision of EN 81-1 & EN 81-2

General




Drivers

The current standard is more than 13 years old and

need to be aligned with the current safety

requirements

Incorporate the result of studies of the Lift Industry on

safety aspects, such as strength of the doors and

requirements for safety spaces

Alignment to the changes in European legislations

such as Lifts Directive

Alignment to the requirements of the recent EN

standards, such as EN 81-70 and EN 81-28

Evolution of the “state of the art” for safety: examples of input

General




Drivers

More than 80 CEN Interpretation on current edition

Three amendments since 1998, A1 (PESSRAL), A2

(MRL) and A3 (UCM)

Input from European interest groups, such as trade

Associations and the EU Commission

Contribution and requests from non-European interest

groups from Asia Pacific, North America, etc.

ISO/TC 178 work on harmonization of International

standards

New technologies and current state of the art

User experience: examples of input

General




Drivers

Complete incorporation of three amendments to the

body of the standards

Remove redundancies of text EN 81-1 and EN 81-2

Consolidate clauses within the standard

Formulate the text clearly to prevent

misunderstandings

Simplify the maintenance of the standards

Compliance to the standardisation requirements

established by CEN, such as Guide 414 (ISO Guide

78), Guide 4, Guide 6 and Guide 12

Ease of use: examples of input

General




Outcome

Clauses are supported by “formal” Risk Assessment

Format is harmonised with current CEN & ISO standards

Clauses are consolidated and redundancies are removed

Text is formulated clearly to avoid misunderstandings and need for

interpretations

Overall user friendliness is improved

Easier to be used by different functions in the profession, such as designers,

test laboratories, inspectors, etc.

Maintenance of the standards is simplified and improved

General




Main deliverables

Examinations, calculations & tests of lift components

Contains description of the examinations,

calculations and tests of lift components used in

any type of lift (passenger, goods passenger,

goods only lift, etc.)

Passenger and goods passenger lifts

Contains requirements for complete passenger or goods passenger lift installations independent of the driving system

Groups all the technical requirements for design of

o Electric drive systems (currently EN81-1)

o Hydraulic drive systems (currently EN81-2)

o All other drive systems in the future
