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 other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a
technical committee may decide to publish other types of document:
⎯ an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in
an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members
of the parent committee casting a vote;
⎯ an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical
committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting
a vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a
further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is
confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an
International Standard or be withdrawn.
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/TS 22559-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 178, Lifts, escalators and moving walks.
ISO/TS 22559 consists of the following parts, under the general title Safety requirements for lifts (elevators):
⎯ Part 1: Global essential safety requirements (GESRs)
⎯ Part 2: Safety parameters meeting the global essential safety requirements (GESRs)
The following parts are under preparation:
⎯ Part 3: Global conformity assessment procedures (GCAP) — General requirements
⎯ Part 4: Global conformity assessment procedures (GCAP) — Certification and accreditation requirements

ISO/TS 22559-2:2010(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO/TS 22559 was prepared in response to the need to set global safety parameters for lifts
(elevators).
The objective of ISO/TS 22559 (all parts) is to:
a) define a common global level of safety for all people using, or associated with, lifts (elevators);
b) facilitate innovation of lifts (elevators) not designed according to existing local, national or regional safety
standards, while maintaining equivalent levels of safety. If such innovations become state of the art, they
can be integrated into the detailed local safety standard at a later date;
c) help remove trade barriers.
ISO/TS 22559-1 establishes global essential safety requirements (GESRs) for lifts (elevators) by addressing
hazards and risks that can be encountered on a lift (elevator). The GESRs, however, state only the safety
objectives of a lift (elevator).
This part of ISO/TS 22559 provides guidance and criteria for achieving conformance with safety requirements
of GESRs by specifying global safety parameters (GSPs) for use and implemention, where applicable, in a lift
(elevator) to eliminate hazards or mitigate safety risks addressed in the GESRs. However, GSPs are not
mandatory.
Clause 4 describes the approach and methodology used in the development of this part of ISO/TS 22559.
Clause 5 gives instructions for the use and implementation of GSPs. The GSPs are presented in Clause 6 in
the sequence of GESRs in ISO/TS 22559-1.
This part of ISO/TS 22559 is a product safety standard in accordance with ISO/IEC Guide 51.

4 Development of global safety parameters (GSPs)
4.1 Purpose of GSPs
4.1.1 To enable verification that the lift and its selected components and functions have achieved safety
objectives of applicable GESRs, GSPs, such as strength, clearances, acceleration or retardation values, are
provided in this part of ISO/TS 22559 in the form of numerical values or references to International Standards
or other standards.
4.1.2 According to ISO/TS 22559-1:2004, 5.1.5, “a GESR states only the safety objective, or 'what' shall be
done or accomplished but not 'how' to accomplish the objective. Therefore, in order to achieve the safety
objective of a GESR, appropriate designs of lift components and functions shall be selected and their
compliance with the GESR shall be verified.”. ISO 14798 describes a risk assessment process that can help
to establish that the GESRs have been fulfilled with a specific design or lift configuration. In order to mitigate
specific risks identified in the risk assessment process, specific components, functions or GSPs may be used.
4.1.3 ISO/TS 22559-1 and this part of ISO/TS 22559 do not mandate the use of specific designs of
components and functions (such as specific designs of “safety gear”, “door interlocks” or “spring buffers”) as
they are commonly specified and required in prescriptive lift standards. Such components and functions are
not mandated in this part of ISO/TS 22559 as that would inhibit design innovations.
4.1.4 All applicable GESRs shall be fulfilled, in accordance with ISO/TS 22559-1, irrespective of whether or
not there is a GSP specified in this part of ISO/TS 22559.
4.2 Approach
4.2.1 As was the case with development of ISO/TS 22559-1, the development of this part of ISO/TS 22559
also involved experts from various parts of the world working in three regional study groups (North American,
European and Asia-Pacific). Specialized task groups carried out research in areas, such as anthropometric,
ergonomic, spatial and environmental influences by review of relevant International Standards and other
standards.
4.2.2 Individual experts and task groups derived safety parameters from independent research of existing
standards, anthropometric data, clearances, forces, etc. and a comparison of major codes. GSPs that were
determined to provide sufficient mitigation of risks related to relevant GESRs are included in this part of
ISO/TS 22559.

ISO/TS 22559-2:2010(E)
5 Understanding and implementing GSPs
5.1 Overall objective
5.1.1 Consistent with the purpose described in 4.1, global safety parameters in relation to individual GESRs
are specified in Clause 6.
5.1.2 The objective of the global safety parameters in Clause 6 is to
a) introduce parameters that provide universal means to demonstrate compliance with GESRs, and
b) stimulate the harmonization of safety parameters in existing national and regional standards.
5.1.3 To accomplish the safety objective of a GESR, a GSP, although not mandatory, may be an adequate
means of achieving compliance. The list of GSPs in Table 2 is not exhaustive.
Table 2 specifies fixed minimum or maximum values. Where the GSP gives a possible range of values in the
referenced International Standards, dependent on the circumstance in which it is used, justification that the
correct value has been chosen can be required to suit the particular hazardous situation(s).
5.1.4 Listed GSPs should not be interpreted as the only measure of conformity with a GESR. Conformance
with a GESR may be achieved by deviating from the listed GSPs, provided that the risk is mitigated using
other equally effective protective measures. Parameters consistent with good engineering practices or
selected from applicable codes or standards may be used. In such cases, it shall be demonstrated that the
type of parameters chosen
a) sufficiently mitigate the risk addressed in the GESR, and
b) ensure that any new risks created by implementation of the parameter(s) are sufficiently mitigated.
NOTE See ISO 14798 (e.g. ISO 14798:2009, 4.4.1.3).
5.2 Properties and use of GSPs
5.2.1 GSPs
5.2.1.1 The GSPs are listed in Table 2.
NOTE 1 International Standards and other standards have been used wherever applicable for developing GSPs as
they represent long-standing history in lift safety or scientifically developed data which has been applied for some time in
safety-related applications. The other standards include lift safety codes, electrical codes, anthropometric standards and
various materials standards. In all cases, the use of the relevant standard is to assist the user of this part of
ISO/TS 22559.
NOTE 2 This part of ISO/TS 22559 recognizes that slightly different or non-identical values for safety-related criteria
have been used around the world in order to ensure the safe operation of lifts. Examples of these are safety factors, space
sizes to prevent body part entry, space sizes to allow body part entry, forces, deceleration levels and illumination levels. In
many cases, the values vary only slightly (e.g. as a result of conversions of imperial to SI units of measurement or due to
different origins of the units). Nevertheless, these slightly differing values have proven to result in safe lift operation over
many years.
5.2.1.2 Safety factors should be considered relative to the material being used and its application, based
on good engineering practice.
5.2.1.3 It is recognized that electronic safety devices and programmable electronic systems in safety-
related applications (i.e. PESSRAL) are being extensively used in many industries. Where used in lift safety
applications, guidance on safety integrity levels (SILs) is provided in ISO 22201.
For devices using electro-mechanical or non-programmable electronic devices, methods such as Failure
Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) should be considered to establish the safety level.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
ISO/TS 22559-2:2010(E)
5.2.1.4 The values in Table 2 are globally harmonized values based upon current applicable national or
regional standards, with the recognition that some of the values are not absolute in nature.
5.2.1.5 When existing national, regional or international lift safety standards are revised, these GSPs,
(i.e. these values and generic International Standards) should be considered.
5.2.2 Process of implementing GSPs
In evaluating a lift system or component for compliance with a particular GESR, the following risk assessment
and risk reduction process, in accordance with ISO 14798, shall be applied:
a) the risk scenario, which includes the hazardous situation addressed in a GESR and the harmful event,
shall be formulated;
b) risk shall be estimated, evaluated and assessed;
c) if the risk level requires mitigation, protective measures are proposed. The protective measures should
eliminate the hazard or reduce the risk. Reducing the risk may include implementing GSPs;
d) after applying the protective measures, the risk shall be re-assessed. Step c) shall be repeated until the
risk has been sufficiently mitigated;
e) if a new hazard is created as a result of mitigating a given risk, the risk resulting from this new hazard
shall be fully mitigated using the above-mentioned process.
5.2.3 Ways of using GESRs and GSPs
5.2.3.1 With respect to a specific task affecting lift safety, such as designing a lift or its components,
GESRs and related GSPs may be used in two ways, namely
a) one can begin with the risk assessment of scenarios related to the task in order to identify the applicable
GESRs and related GSPs, as in 5.2.3.2, or
b) one can begin with a review of all GESRs in order to identify those that can be applicable to the task, as
in 5.2.3.3.
NOTE In addition to designing, tasks can include installing or servicing, or writing design-prescriptive safety
standards for lifts or their components.
5.2.3.2 When designing a lift or its components, a review of the intended use, foreseeable misuse (see
ISO 14798:2009, 4.5.5.4) and design should be made, in which all possible risk scenarios are formulated and
risk assessment is performed in order to find out which,
