Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that
which is normally published as an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a
simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely
informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides are considered to be no
longer valid or useful.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TR 16765 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 178, Lifts, escalators, passenger conveyors.

Introduction
At the 1996 plenary meeting of ISO/TC 178 it was agreed via Resolution 136 that a comparison between CEN
Standard EN 81-72 for firefighting lifts (elevators) and the national codes of Australia, USA, Canada, Japan
and Russia, would be produced. This has in the meantime been extended to include the codes of China, Hong
Kong, India (Mumbai), Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan. The goal was to prepare a
technical report which would provide reference information to assist national standards committees when
reviewing and revising individual codes and which may initiate a gradual convergence of the technical
requirements worldwide.
It was agreed by ISO/TC 178 that the comparison required the additional input of firefighting experts in WG 6.
The comparison includes reference to national lift (elevator) codes, fire codes and building regulations.
The content of this Technical Report is based on the information provided by the ISO/TC 178/WG 6 members.
This Technical Report is intended to aid standards writers in developing their firefighters lift (elevator)
requirements and to help standards users understand the basis for the requirements as they are applied
throughout the world.
This Technical Report must be read in conjunction with the various lift (elevator), fire and building codes, as it
was often necessary to summarize the requirements for the sake of the comparisons. Further, the information
contained in this Technical Report does not necessarily represent the opinions of the standards writing
organization responsible for the developments of the safety standards which are being compared and they
should be consulted regarding interpretations of their requirements.
This Technical Report will be used as a basis together with an appropriate risk assessment when preparing a
global standard for firefighting and/or evacuation lifts (elevators).
