Standards.

✓ This means that the UK lift industry will continue to use the same EN and ISO standards as used by the rest of Europe. ✓ In the event of Brexit the only difference will be that “Harmonised Standards” become “Designated Standards”, but their content will be identical. ✓ This ensures the there is no divergence between the UK industry and that of Europe on safety or technical requirements.

Due to some legal reasons the European Commission has taken the decision not to award Harmonised Status to the last revisions of EN 81- 21, 28, 58, 71, 72 and 77. This means that legally they cannot be used to show compliance with the Lifts Directive and that Design Examination would be needed from a Notified Body.

SLIDE 5

The answer to this legal uncertainty is for manufacturers to build lifts to the latest version of these standards but to declare conformity to the

ld version, since the new versions incorporate all
f the requirements of the old.

However this will be extremely confusing to those specifying and purchasing new lifts.

SLIDE 6

In the short term these standards may need small revisions to align their references to EN 81- 20:2019. In the long term they may need to be split into two parts:

Part A – Containing only the requirements of the directive concerning the delivered product. No informative annex’s, no builders requirements, no mention of responsible persons. Part B – Containing everything taken out of part A, which would then become a non-harmonised EN standard.

In March the ISO 8100-1, 8100- 2 and 8100-3 lifts were published for the first time. Parts 1 and 2 are technically identical to EN 81-20 and 50. These are the first world wide prescriptive standards for lifts

SLIDE 8

The future plan is to re-publish and re-number all ISO standards for lifts under the ISO 8100 numbering system.

At present CEN is working on the next full revision of EN 81-20 and 50. This is a technical revision and will include such items as alternative means of suspension, changes to PESSRAL, etc. This work will now be transferred to the revision of the ISO 8100-1 / 2 standards, but under CEN lead, meaning CEN will still be responsible for the work.
