by endorsement, at the latest by November 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by November 2003.
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Annexes A, D, E and G are informative.
Annexes B, C and F are normative.
0 Introduction
0.1 General
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this
document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for lifts that have
been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
0.2 Principles
In drawing up this standard the following have been used:
a) the Working Group based its activities on a resolution (CEN/TC 10/1995/7) which added the issue of
accessibility to the work programme of CEN/TC 10, namely the necessity of formulating requirements for the
accessibility to lifts for persons including persons with disability.
This resolution was the result of a mandate given to CEN as mentioned in the Foreword. It was decided that it
would cover the design and construction of cars etc. in such a way that their features would not obstruct or
impede access and use by disabled people;
b) the Working Group was composed of representatives of the European Disability Forum, National
Standardisation Institutes and the Lift Industry. Data taken into account were:
demographic developments in Europe;
the tendency of living independently and its consequences;
the need for accessibility of buildings;
the recognition of the existence of a variety of disabilities with different solutions on spatial and
orientational levels;
the combat of discrimination based on disability and age as mentioned in the non-discrimination clause
(art 6a) of the Treaty of Amsterdam of the European Union.
The population of Europe is ageing and the prevalence of disability, including disability associated with the ageing
process, is increasing. Older people and people with disabilities at present are estimated to number some 80
million people – a large and growing proportion of the European Union population. The changing demography
presents both opportunities and challenges for the Union. The economic, social and cultural potential of older
people and people with disabilities is underexploited at present. However there is a growing recognition that society
needs to exploit this potential for the economic and social benefit of society generally.
The work has led to this standard on the accessibility to lifts for persons, including persons with disability.
General information on accessibility is given in annex A;
c) this standard does not only address the essential safety requirements of the Lift Directive, but additionally
states minimum rules for the accessibility to lifts for persons including persons with disability. There may be in
some countries regulations for the level of suitability of lifts which cannot be ignored. Typical clauses affected
by this are those defining minimum sizes of cars ;
d) this European Standard describes three sizes of lifts offering different levels of accessibility to wheelchair
users. The degree of accessibility and usability is provided by dimensions, spatial and technical criteria (see
the European Concept for Accessibility referred to in Bibliography).
Further, this European Standard defines the design provisions for the lift and its user interface for the different
stages of usage under normal operation.
NOTE Each Member State can, according to its social requirements and economical situation, select the appropriate size of
lift from Table 1 as the minimum for a given type of building and define the application by law.
0.3 Assumptions
Intensive studies have been made on the different categories of disabilities to establish related hazards and their
risks.
The Standard Rules of the Equalization of opportunities for persons with disabilities adopted by the United Nations
th
General Assembly at its 48 session on 20 December 1993 (resolution 48/96) has also been considered. The
requirements in this standard have been drawn up accordingly.
0.4 Negotiations
It is assumed that negotiations have been made for each contract between the customer and the supplier/installer
about:
a) the intended use of the lift;
b) temporary activation of features of the lift;
c) environmental conditions;
d) civil engineering problems;
e) other aspects related to the place of installation.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the safe and independent access and use of lifts
by persons, including persons with the disabilities mentioned in annex B, Table B.1.
This European Standard covers lifts with minimum car dimensions according to Table 1 and provided with car
doors and landing doors constructed as automatic power operated horizontally sliding doors.
This European Standard considers accessibility to lifts for persons using wheelchairs with maximum overall
dimensions defined in EN 12183:1999 and EN 12184:1999.
This European Standard also deals with the additional technical requirements to minimise the hazards listed in
clause 4 that arise during the operation of lifts intended to be accessible to disabled users.
NOTE This standard can be used as guidance for upgrading existing lifts in line with the recommendation of the European
th
Commission dated 8 of June, 1995 (95/216/EC) concerning improvements to safety of existing lifts.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For
