This document specifies the fire resistance requirements for lift landing doors which are intended to provide a barrier to the spread of fire from the landing side and via the lift well in buildings during a defined period of time. The fire resistance requirements are expressed in terms of integrity (E), insulation (EI) and radiation (EW).
It is applicable to lift landing doors installed in the lift well openings at landings and used as means of access to lift car.
It also specifies the method of testing and classification of fire resistance of lift landing doors. The test method is only valid for furnaces where the door is mounted in a vertical position. The test method specifies the measurement of integrity and if required the measurement of radiation and thermal insulation.
This document does not cover other technical requirements in addition to fire resistance requirements.
This document refers to CO2 as means of tracing the propagation of fire. The document does not cover hazards due to emission of gases.
This document is not applicable to lifts which are installed before the date of its publication.

- reduction in available well are leading to reduced distance between car, counterweight or balancing weight;
- counterweight or balancing weight in a separate existing well;
- reduced building dimensions and clearances leading to:
- reductions in available space for headroom and pit;
- reduced car roof balustrade dimensions;
- reduced height of sill apron;
- reduced height of machine and/or pulley room;
- reduced available area for access door/trap door;
- reduction in available height of landing doors.
This document is not applicable to lifts installed before the date of its publication.

This document specifies the additional special provisions and safety rules for passenger and goods passenger lifts where these lifts are installed in buildings and constructions (hereinafter buildings) intended to withstand seismic events in compliance with EN 1998-1:2004 (Eurocode 8), during use, maintenance, inspection and emergency operation of lifts.
The aim of this document is to:
- avoid loss of life and reduce the extent of injuries;
- avoid people getting trapped in the lift;
- avoid damage;
- avoid environmental problems related to oil leakage;
- reduce the number of lifts out of service.
This document does not introduce any specific provisions and safety rules for lifts when ad ≤ 1 m/s2 as defined in Annex A.
This document does not address other risks due to seismic events (e.g. fire, flood, explosion).
This document is not applicable to lifts installed before the date of its publication.

a) users;
b) maintenance and inspection personnel;
c) persons outside the escalator or moving walk (but in its immediate vicinity);
d) authorized persons.
