95/16/EC - European Parliament and Council Directive 95/16/EC of 29 June 1995 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to lifts

This European Standard specifies the safety rules related to new passenger and goods/passenger lifts permanently installed in existing buildings where in some circumstances due to limitations enforced by building constraints, some requirements of EN 81-20:2014 cannot be met (see also 4th sentence of Introduction).
This European Standard addresses a number of these constraints and gives requirements for alternative solutions. It shall be read and applied in conjunction with the European Standards EN 81-20:2014.
This European Standard covers:
-   Either the construction and installation of one or more complete new lift(s) including new well and machinery spaces in an existing building; or
-   The replacement of one or more existing lift(s) by new ones in existing well(s) and machinery spaces.
This European Standard does not cover:
-   Replacement or modifications of some parts to a lift already installed;
-   Other applications outside of the scope of EN 81-20:2014.

This draft European Standard specifies the method of test for determining the fire resistance of lift landing doors which may be exposed to a fire from the landing side. The procedure applies to all types of lift landing doors used as a means of access to lifts in buildings and which are intended to provide a fire barrier to the spread of fire via the lift well.
The procedure allows for the measurement of integrity and if required the measurement of radiation and thermal insulation.
No requirements other than the verification that the specimen is operational are included for mechanical conditioning before the test as these are included in the relevant product standard.

This European Standard specifies the immunity performance criteria and test levels for apparatus used in lifts, escalators and moving walks which are intended to be permanently installed in buildings including the basic safety requirements in regard to their electromagnetic environment. These levels represent essential EMC requirements. The standard refers to EM conditions as existing in residential, office and industrial buildings. This standard addresses commonly known EMC related hazards and hazardous situations relevant to lifts, escalators and moving walks when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the lift installer or escalator and/or moving walk manufacturer. This standard addresses the environmental conditions stated in the EN 81 series of standards and EN 115 series (humidity, temperature, etc.), so far as they are related to EMC performance. However: - performance criteria and test levels for apparatus/assembly of apparatus used in general function circuits do not cover situations with an extremely low probability of occurrence; - this standard does not apply to other apparatus already proven to be in conformity to the EMC Directive, and not related to the safety of the lift, escalator or moving walk, such as lighting apparatus, communication apparatus, etc. This standard does not apply to electromagnetic environments such as: - radio transmitter stations; - railways and metros; - heavy industrial plant; - electricity power stations which need additional investigations.
