NEW STANDARDS FOR SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILTY

Two new European standards for elevator design and manufacture will bring considerable benefits in terms of accessibility and safety for both passengers and service technicians.

The first, EN 81-20:2014, sets out revised and updated safety requirements for the construction and installation of elevators. The second, EN 81-50:2014, defines the test and examination requirements for certain elevator components.

The new standards also clarify and improve the current building interface requirements. They replace the current EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 standards introduced in 1998, and all elevators taken into use after 31 August 2017 will be required to comply with the requirements of the new standards.
