Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts - Lifts for the transport of persons and goods - Part 21: New passenger and goods passenger lifts in existing building

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 is intended to be read and applied in conjunction with the European Standard 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.

Sicherheitsregeln für die Konstruktion und den Einbau von Aufzügen - Aufzüge für den Personen- und Gütertransport - Teil 21: Neue Personen- und Lastenaufzüge in bestehenden Gebäuden

Diese Europäische Norm legt Sicherheitsregeln für neue Personen- und Lastenaufzüge fest, die dauerhaft in bestehende Gebäude eingebaut werden, bei denen in manchen Fällen aufgrund von baulichen Einschrän-kungen einige Anforderungen von EN 81 20:2014 nicht erfüllt werden können.
Diese Europäische Norm befasst sich mit einer Anzahl dieser Einschränkungen und nennt Anforderungen für alternative Lösungen. Sie wird in Verbindung mit der Europäischen Norm EN 81 20:2014 verstanden und angewendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt entweder für:
-   die konstruktive Ausführung und den Einbau eines oder mehrerer vollständig neuer Aufzüge in ein bestehendes Gebäude einschließlich eines neuen Schachts und neuer Aufstellungsorte für Triebwerk und Steuerung; oder
-   den Austausch eines oder mehrerer vorhandener Aufzüge durch neue in dem (den) vorhandenen Schacht (Schächten) und Aufstellungsorten für Triebwerk und Steuerung.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für:
-   den Austausch oder die Änderungen einzelner Teile eines bereits errichteten Aufzuges;
-   andere Anwendungen außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs der EN 81 20:2014.

Règles de sécurité pour la construction et l'installation des élévateurs - Elévateur pour le transport de personnes et d'objets - Partie 21 : Ascenseurs et ascenseurs de charge neufs dans les bâtiments existants

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les règles de sécurité relatives aux ascenseurs et ascenseurs de charge neufs, installés à demeure dans des bâtiments existants où, dans certaines circonstances, certaines prescriptions de l'EN 81-20:2014 ne peuvent être satisfaites en raison de limites imposées par les contraintes de construction.
La présente Norme européenne donne la liste de quelques-unes de ces contraintes et fournit les prescriptions pour des solutions alternatives. Elle sera lue et appliquée conjointement avec la Norme européenne EN 81-20:2014.
La présente Norme européenne couvre :
-   soit la construction et l'installation d'un ou de plusieurs ascenseurs neufs complets, y compris la gaine et les emplacements de machinerie neufs, dans un bâtiment existant ;
-   soit le remplacement d'un ou plusieurs ascenseur(s) existant(s) par de nouveaux ascenseurs dans des gaines et emplacements de machinerie existants.
La présente Norme européenne ne couvre pas :
-   le remplacement ou les modifications de certaines pièces d'un ascenseur déjà installé ;
-   tout autre application en dehors du domaine d'application de l'EN 81-20:2014.

Ta evropski standard določa varnostna pravila v zvezi z novimi osebnimi in tovorno-osebnimi dvigali, ki so trajno vgrajeni v obstoječe stavbe, kadar v nekaterih okoliščinah zaradi omejitev, ki jih narekujejo gradbene ovire, nekaterih zahtev standardov EN 81-20:2014 ni mogoče izpolniti (glejte tudi četrti stavek uvoda).
Ta evropski standard obravnava številne tovrstne omejitve in določa zahteve za alternativne rešitve. Standard se bere in uporablja v povezavi z evropskimi standardi EN 81-20:2014.
Ta evropski standard zajema:
– konstruiranje in vgradnjo enega ali več celotnih novih dvigal, vključno z novim jaškom in strojnico v obstoječi stavbi,
– ali zamenjavo enega ali več obstoječih dvigal z novimi dvigali v obstoječem jašku in strojnici.
Ta evropski standard ne obravnava:
– zamenjave ali sprememb nekaterih delov pri že vgrajenem dvigalu;
– drugih uporab zunaj področja uporabe standardov EN 81-20:2014.
