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 document specifies the safety rules related to passenger and goods/passenger lifts installed in existing buildings where limitations enforced by certain building constraints mean that some requirements of EN 81-20:2020 cannot be met.
It addresses the following constraints and gives requirements for alternative solutions:
-   existing perforate walls of the lift well;
-   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.

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

Dieses Dokument 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 20:2020 nicht erfüllt werden können.
Es geht auf folgende Zwänge ein und gibt Anforderungen für alternative Lösungen an:
—   Bestehende durchbrochene Schachtwände;
—   die Verringerung des verfügbaren Schachts führt zu einem geringeren Abstand zwischen Fahrkorb, Gegengewicht oder Ausgleichsgewicht;
—   Gegengewicht oder Ausgleichsgewicht in einem separaten vorhandenen Schacht;
—   reduzierte Gebäudemaße und Abstände führen zu:
—   Reduzierung des vorhandenen Schutzraums für Schachtkopf und Schachtgrube;
—   Reduzierung der Fahrkorbdachumwehrung;
—   Reduzierung der Höhe der Fahrkorbschürze;
—   Reduzierung der Höhe des Triebwerksraums und/oder Rollenräume;
—   Reduzierung der Höhe der Schachttüren.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar auf Aufzüge, die vor der Veröffentlichung dieser Norm installiert wurden.

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

Le présent document spécifie les règles de sécurité relatives aux ascenseurs et ascenseurs de charge, installés dans des bâtiments existants où certaines prescriptions de l'EN 81-20:2020 ne peuvent être satisfaites en raison de limites imposées par les contraintes de construction.
Il aborde les contraintes suivantes et donne des exigences pour des solutions alternatives :
-   parois de gaine non pleine existantes ;
-   réduction de la gaine disponible, entraînant une réduction de la distance entre la cabine, le contrepoids ou la masse d'équilibrage ;
-   contrepoids ou masse d'équilibrage dans une gaine séparée existante ;
-   réduction des dimensions de construction et des réserves conduisant à :
-   réduction de l'espace disponible en partie supérieure de la gaine et en cuvette ;
-   réduction des dimensions de la balustrade de toit de cabine ;
-   réduction de la hauteur du garde-pieds de la cabine ;

Varnostna pravila za konstruiranje in vgradnjo dvigal (liftov) - Dvigala za prevoz oseb in blaga - 21. del: Nova osebna in osebno-tovorna dvigala v obstoječih stavbah

Ta dokument določa varnostna pravila za osebna in tovorno-osebna dvigala, vgrajena v obstoječih stavbah, kadar zaradi omejitev, ki jih narekujejo določene gradbene ovire, nekaterih zahtev standarda EN 81-20:2020 ni mogoče izpolniti.
Ta dokument je treba uporabljati v povezavi s standardom EN 81-20:2020. Obravnava naslednje omejitve in določa zahteve za alternativne rešitve:
–   obstoječe perforirane stene jaška dvigala;
–   zmanjšanje razpoložljivega jaška povzroči zmanjšanje razdalje med kabino, protiutežjo ali izravnalno utežjo;
–   protiutež ali izravnalna utež v ločenem obstoječem jašku;
–   manjše dimenzije zgradbe in odmiki, ki vodijo do:
–   zmanjšanja razpoložljivega prostora nad glavo in v jašku;
–   zmanjšanja dimenzij podestne ograje za kabino;
–   zmanjšanja višine plošče praga;
–   zmanjšanja višine strojnice in/ali prostora za jermenice;
–   zmanjšanja območja, ki je na voljo za dostopna vrata/loputo;
–   zmanjšanja razpoložljive višine za etažna vrata.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za dvigala, vgrajena pred datumom njegove objave.
