Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market
players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e.g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);
— consumers (in case of machinery intended for use by consumers).
The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate in the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
This document provides requirements for the design of lifts where it is considered that additional
measures are required in order to protect against the risk of vandalism. Every lift is subject to some
amount of careless and rough use. Additional protective measures against deliberate acts that may result
in equipment damage or injury to persons are referred to in this document as Category 1 or Category 2.
The following assumptions were made whilst writing this document:
— The potential for vandalism of lifts depends on the following factors:
— access to the lift installation;
— the surrounding area;
— observation of the lift by others in the vicinity;
— the extent of building security and surveillance of the lift;
— period of access to the building, including the lift (24 h);
— vulnerability of lift.
— The forces exerted on the lift and its equipment will be as a result of manual effort or by item(s) such
as those listed in Annex E.
1 Scope
This document defines requirements addressing the significant hazards related to lifts, which are subject
to different expected levels of vandalism (see Annex A and Annex D for further information).
Those requirements are supplementary (additional and/or modified) to the requirements of EN 81-
20:2020, intended to mitigate the effect of vandalism.
This document is not applicable to lifts installed before the date of its publication.

5.4.1.5 For Category 2 lifts, the distance between each landing door panel, or its attachments at the
leading edge, and the car door(s) panel(s), or its attachments at the leading edge, shall not exceed 35 mm.
This distance shall be maintained back from the leading edge over a length of not less than 75 mm and
returned at an angle not exceeding 45° to the rear of the door panel. This return angle may be omitted
over a length not exceeding 200 mm at the top and/or bottom of the door panel to allow the fixing of door
equipment. Where the distance is maintained back for a length of 200 mm or more, then the return angle
is not required (see Figure 1).

b) control cabinet;
c) emergency and inspection panel.
The device shall be clearly marked with a pictogram as shown in Annex C. The pictogram shall also be
located on or adjacent to the lift entrance at the main entry/exit floor of the building.
5.4.2.3 After manual de-activation, the system shall be automatically re-activated after a period of
between 30 min and 60 min, to prevent the doors being left without the security system operative.
However, when the lift is switched to inspection operation according to EN 81-20:2020, 5.12.1.5, or a
stopping device to EN 81-20:2020, 5.12.1.11 is operated, this time sequence shall stop. Once the lift is
