This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 10 August 2009 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 81-83:2009) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 10 “Lifts, escalators
and moving walks”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.
CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This standard is part of the EN 81 series of standards: “Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts”.
CEN/CENELEC have embarked on a programme of work to produce a series of related machinery and lift safety
standards as part of the process of European harmonisation. This document makes use of and refers to EN 81-
71:2005.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Introduction
Background
More than 4 million lifts are in use today in EU and EFTA and almost 50 % were installed more than 25 years ago.
Existing lifts were installed to the safety level appropriate at that time. This level is less than today’s state of the art
lifts built to EN 81-1 or EN 81-2, offering already a reasonable degree of protection against vandalism.
Furthermore the life cycle of a lift is longer than most other transportation systems and building equipment, which
therefore means that lift design, performance, safety and resistance against vandalism can fall behind modern
technologies. If existing lifts are not upgraded to today's state of the art of safety and/or protection against
vandalism the number of incidents will increase.
This document provides guidance to building owners addressing in particular existing lifts installed in buildings
where it is considered additional security or other measures may be required to protect against the risk of
vandalism. The building owner will need to consider the extent of additional protection required, as covered by the
enclosed proposals, which may be adopted according to the environment in which the lift installation is situated and
the type of vandalism that is likely to be experienced.
This document is based upon and referring to EN 81-71:2005 and addresses additional protective measures
against deliberate acts that may result in equipment damage or injury to persons.
Approach
This Technical Specification
 defines the categories of vandalism according to EN 81-71:2005, Annex A, taking into account the existing
environment and the likelihood of persons acting as a vandal;
 categorises various hazards and hazardous situations, each of which has been analysed by a risk
assessment;
 is intended to provide corrective actions to progressively and selectively improve, step by step, the level of
vandal resistance of existing passenger and goods passenger lifts towards today’s state of the art;
 enables each lift to be audited and measures against vandalism to be identified and implemented in a step by
step and selective fashion;
 lists the high, medium and low priorities and corrective actions which can be applied in separate steps in order
to eliminate the risks.
Other designs to previous national regulations or standards, providing they have an equivalent safety level, may be
acceptable.
Use
This Technical Specification can be used as a guideline for:
a) national authorities to determine its own programme of implementation in a step by step process via a filtering
1)
process (see Annex A) in a reasonable and practicable way based on the priorities level (high, medium, low)
and social and economic considerations;

1)
"Reasonable and practicable” is defined as follows: “In deciding what is reasonably practicable the seriousness of a risk to
injury should be weighted against the difficulty and cost of removing or reducing that risk. Where the difficulty and costs are
high, and a careful assessment of the risk shows it to be comparatively unimportant, action may not need to be taken. On the

other hand where the risk is high, action should be taken at whatever cost.”
b) owners to follow their responsibilities according to existing regulations;
c) maintenance companies and/or inspection bodies to inform the owners on the vandal resistance level of their
installations;
d) owners to upgrade the existing lifts on a voluntary basis in accordance with c) if no regulations exist.
In making an audit of an existing lift installation Annex B can be used to identify the deviations to the state of the art
and corrective actions in this Technical Specification.
However, where a situation is identified not covered in this Technical Specification a separate risk assessment
should be made. This risk assessment should be based
