Introduction
Systems comprised of electrical and/or electronic elements have been used for many years to
perform safety functions in most application sectors. Computer-based systems, generically referred
to as programmable electronic systems, are being used in many application sectors to perform non-
safety functions and, increasingly, to perform safety functions. In order to effectively and safely
exploit computer-system technology, it is essential that those responsible for making decisions have
sufficient guidance on the safety aspects on which to make these decisions. In most situations, safety
is achieved by a number of protective systems that rely on many technologies (for example mechanical,
hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic, programmable electronic). It is necessary that any safety
strategy, therefore, considers not only all the components within an individual system (for example
sensors, controlling devices and actuators), but also all the safety-related elements making up the total
combination of safety-related systems.
This document is based upon the guidelines provided in the generic IEC 61508 series of standards of
the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and EN 81 (all parts) of the Comité Européen de
Normalization (CEN).
The requirements given in this document recognize the fact that the product family covers a total range
of passenger and goods/passenger lifts used in residential buildings, offices, hospitals, hotels, industrial
plants, etc. This document is the product family standard for lifts and takes precedence over all aspects
of the generic standard.
This document sets out the product specific requirements for systems comprised of programmable
electronic components and programmable electronic systems that are used to perform safety functions
in lifts. This document has been developed in order that consistent technical and performance
requirements and rational be specified for programmable electronic systems in safety-related
applications for lifts (PESSRAL).
Risk analysis, terminology and technical solutions have been considered, taking into account the
methods of the IEC 61508 series of standards. The risk analysis of each safety function specified in
Table 1 resulted in the classification of electric safety functions applied to PESSRAL. Tables 1 and 2 give
the safety integrity level and functional requirements, respectively, for each electric safety function.
The safety integrity levels (SIL) specified in this document can also be applied to other technologies
used to satisfy the safety functions specified in this document.
Within the context of the harmonization with national standards for lifts, the application of this
document is intended to be by reference within a national standard lift such as lift codes, standards, or
laws. The reason for this is threefold:
a) to allow selective reference by national standards to specific lift safety functions described in this
document (not all lift safety functions identified in this document are called out in every national
standard);
b) to allow for future harmonization of national standards with lift safety functions identified in this
document:
— Because there exist some differences in the requirements for fulfilment of the safety objectives
of national lift standards and in national practice of lift use and maintenance, there are instances
where the requirements for lift safety functions described in this document are based on the
consensus work and agreement by the ISO committee responsible for this document. National
bodies may choose to selectively harmonize with those lift safety functions that differ in the
requirements called for by the existing national standard in future standard revisions.
— It is important to note that more than 90 % of the safe-state requirements and more than 80 %
of the anticipated SIL requirements by the national standards referenced in this document
are already harmonized with the requirements of the lift safety functions specified in this
document. The remainder is not harmonized for the reasons given above.
c) to allow for the application of this document where lift safety functions are new or deviate
from those specified in this document. More and more, national lift legislations are moving to
performance-based requirements. For this reason, the development of new or different lift safety
functions can be foreseen in product specific applications. For those who require lift safety
functions that are new or different from those specified in this document, this document provides a
verifiable method to establish the necessary level of safety integrity for those functions.

Part 1:
Lifts (elevators) (PESSRAL)
1 Scope
This document is applicable to the product family of passenger and goods/passenger lifts used in
residential buildings, offices, hospitals, hotels, industrial plants, etc. This document covers those
aspects that it is necessary to address when programmable electronic systems are used to carry out
electric safety functions for lifts (PESSRAL). This document is applicable for lift safety functions that
are identified in lift codes, standards or laws that reference this document for PESSRAL. The SILs
specified in this document are understood to be valid for PESSRAL in the context of the referenced lift
codes, standards and laws in Annex B.
NOTE Within this document, the UK term “lift” is used throughout instead of the US term “elevator”.
This document is also applicable for PESSRAL that are new or deviate from those described in this
document.
The requirements of this document regarding electrical safety/protective devices are such that it is not
necessary to take into consideration the possibility of a failure of an electric safety/protective device
complying with all the requirements of this document and other relevant standards.
In particular, this document
a) uses safety integrity levels (SIL) for specifying the target failure measure for the safety functions
implemented by the PESSRAL;
b) specifies the requirements for achieving safety integrity for a function but does not specify who is
responsible for implementing and maintaining the requirements (for example, designers, suppliers,
owner/operating company, contractor); this responsibility is assigned to different parties according
to safety planning and national regulations;
c) applies to PE systems used in lift applications that meet the minimum requirements of a recognized
lift standard such as EN 81, ASME A17.1-2007/CSA B44-07, or lift laws such as the Japan Building
Standard Law Enforcement Order For Elevator and Escalator;
d) defines the relationship between this document and IEC 61508 and defines the relationship
between this document and the EMC standard for lifts on immunity, ISO 22200;
e) outlines the relationship between lift safety functions and their safe-state conditions;
f) applies to phases and activities that are specific to design of software and related hardware but not
to those phases and activities that occur post-design, for example sourcing and manufacturing;
g) requires the manufacturer of the PESSRAL to provide instructions that specify what is necessary
to maintain the integrity of the PESSRAL (instruction manual) for the organization carrying out
the assembly, connections, adjustment and maintenance of the lift;
h) provides requirements relating to the software and hardware safety validation;
i) establishes the safety integrity levels for specific lift safety functions;
j) specifies techniques/measures required for achieving the specified safety integrity levels;
k) provides risk-reduction decision tables for the application of PESSRALs;
l) defines a maximum level of performance (SIL 3) that can be achieved for a PESSRAL according to
this document and defines a minimum level of performance (SIL 1).
This document does not cover:
— hazards arising from the PE systems equipment itself, such as electric shock, etc.;
— the concept of fail-safe, which can be of value when the failure modes are well defined and the level
of complexity is relatively low; the concept of fail-safe is considered inappropriate because of the
full range of complexity of the PESSRAL that are within the scope of this document;
— other relevant requirements necessary for the complete application of a PESSRAL in a lift safety
function, such as the mechanical construction, mounting and labelling of switches, actuators,
or sensors that contain the PESSRAL. It is necessary that these requirements be carried out in
accordance with the national lift standard that references this document.
— foreseeable misuse involving security threats related to malevolent or unauthorized action. In cases
where a security threat analysis needs to be considered, this standard may be used, provided the
specified SIL has been reassessed.

proof test
periodic test performed to detect dangerous hidden failures in a safety-related system so that, if
necessary, a repair can restore the system to an “as new” condition or as close as practical to this
condition.
Note 1 to entry: In this standard the term “proof test” is used but it is recognized that a synonymous term is
“periodical test”.
Note 2 to entry: The effectiveness of the proof test will be dependent both on failure coverage and repair
effectiveness. In practice, detecting 100 % of the hidden dangerous failures is not easily achieved for other than
low-complexity E/E/PE safety-related systems. This should be the target. As a minimum, all the safety functions
which are executed are checked according to the E/E/PE system safety requirements specification. If separate
channels are used, these tests are done for each channel separately. For complex elements, an analysis may need
to be performed in order to demonstrate that the probability of hidden dangerous failure not detected by proof
tests is negligible over the whole life duration of the E/E/PE safety-related system.
4 © ISO 2017 – All rights reserved
Note 3 to entry: A proof test needs some time to be achieved. During this time the E/E/PE safety-related system
may be inhibited partially or completely. The proof test duration can be neglected only if the part of the E/E/PE
safety-related system under test remains available in case of a demand for operation or if the EUC is shut down
during the test.
Note 4 to entry: During a proof test, the E/E/PE safety-related system may be partly or completely unavailable to
respond to a demand for operation. The MTTR can be neglected for SIL calculations only if the EUC is shut down
during repair or if other risk measures are put in place with equivalent effectiveness.

5 Requirements
5.1 General
5.1.1 Table 1 defines the safety-function names, associated lift functional description, applicable lift
type and required SIL for the SIL-relevant part of the safety function. A lift is permitted to operate without
interruption when safety functions are not actuated.
NOTE Safety functions refer to those lift functions that are identified in codes, standards and laws that
reference this document for PESSRAL. See Table B.1.
5.1.2 Table 2 defines the safe-state requirements when the safety functions in Table 1 are actuated. If
a safety function should actuate, the safety function shall cause the lift system to revert to the safe-state
conditions specified by the requirements of Table 2.
5.1.3 PESSRAL shall consider the reaction time of the lift to respond to the safety function and internal
fault detection in the time necessary to achieve the safe-state condition without hazard. Methods that
fulfil internal fault detection shall consider the necessary system reaction time required by the SIL (see
example).
EXAMPLE If an internal fault is detected by comparison of data in a two-channel system within the time
necessary to meet the system’s reaction time, then it is not necessary to complete a variable-memory range test
within the system reaction time because the safety integrity is verified by the two-channel design.
5.2 Extended application of this document
5.2.1 General
The requirements in 5.2.2 to 5.2.4 are provided to verify SILs and safe-state conditions for lift safety
functions that are new or deviate from the requirements provided in 5.3 and 5.4, or are referenced by
codes and standards not harmonized with the requirements of codes, standards or laws referenced in
Table B.1.
5.2.2 Risk assessment
Where alternatives to the requirements of 5.3 and/or 5.4 are sought, methods for the determination
of the required safety integrity level shall be performed in accordance with IEC 61508-5. The same
methods shall be used to establish the rationale for a new PESSRAL function and corresponding SIL or
a revised PESSRAL function and/or SIL that deviate from the requirements of 5.3 and 5.4. The mean
target failure frequency for the worst-case severity of the consequence of any single potential hazard
−7
scenario shall not exceed a frequency of 5 × 10 /year. See also Annex C.
5.2.3 Limits for specifying SIL for PESSRAL
Target failure measures required for specifying a PE system in a lift safety-related function shall be no
less than SIL 1 and no greater than SIL 3. If a target failure measure requires a SIL higher than SIL 3,
consideration should be given to redesigning the system such that the required target-failure measure
is satisfied with SIL 3 or less. If an SIL lower than SIL 1 is required, a non-SIL-rated PE system may be
used but it shall not be classified as a PESSRAL. No PESSRAL shall have a SIL of less than SIL 1 even if it
is applied to a safety function requiring less than SIL 1.
Applications that require the use of a single safety function of safety integrity level 4 are not typically
required in the lift industry. Such applications shall be avoided because of the difficulty of achieving and
maintaining such high levels of performance throughout the life cycle of the safety device. If the analysis
results in a safety integrity level of 4 or higher being assigned to a lift safety function, consideration
shall be given to changing the process design in such a way that it becomes more inherently safe or
by adding additional layers of protection. These enhancements can, perhaps, then reduce the safety
integrity level requirements for the lift safety function. If the safety integrity level cannot be reduced,
the target failure measure for the safety function shall be distributed across multiple PESSRAL of SIL 3
or less that are sufficiently independent and certified in the application.
5.2.4 Safe-state requirements
For lift safety functions that are new or differ from those specified in 5.3 and 5.4, the designer shall
identify the safe-state requirements in a manner similar to that in which they are described in Table 2.
5.3 Safety function SIL requirements
Table 1 provides the required SIL for each lift safety function. For further information, see Table B.1.
5.4 SIL-relevant and non-SIL-relevant safe-state requirements
Table 2 provides the required response of the lift to the lift safety functions of Table 1 and the SIL and
non-SIL-relevant requirements for each response from actuation of that function. An “X” indicates
the response is required for the safe-state condition when the safety function actuates or where the
PESSRAL detects an internal fault condition. See corresponding notes where a numerical note reference
value is used in place of an “X” for further clarification of the required response.
