This document

  • specifies GESRs for lifts (elevators), their components and functions, and

  • establishes a system and provides methods for minimizing safety risks that can arise in the course of, the operation and use of, or work on, lifts (elevators).

NOTE 1 Hereinafter, the term “lift” is used instead of the term “elevator”.

NOTE 2 See Clause 5 regarding the use and application of this document.

This document is applicable to lifts that are intended to carry persons or persons and goods that can:

  1. be located in any permanent and fixed structure or building, except lifts located in means of transport, (e.g. ships);

  2. have any

    1. rated load, size of load carrying unit and speed, and

    2. travel distance and number of landings;

  3. be affected by fire in the load-carrying unit (LCU), earthquake, weather, or flood;

  4. be foreseeably misused (e.g. overloaded) but not vandalized.

This document does not cover

  1. all needs of users with disabilities;1 or

  2. risks arising from

    1. work on lifts under construction, testing, or during alterations and dismantling;

    2. use of lifts for fire fighting and emergency evacuation;

    3. vandalism; and

    4. fire outside the LCU.

1 Although the GESRs specified in this document have been identified and evaluated by risk assessment, not all disabilities or combinations of such disabilities of users have necessarily been addressed.
