Introduction
Background of this European Standard
More than four million lifts are in use today in the EU and EFTA, and almost 50 % were installed more than
25 years ago. Existing lifts were installed to the safety and accessibility level appropriate at that time. This level is
less than today’s state of the art.
New technologies and social expectations have led to today's state of the art for accessibility resulting in different
levels of accessibility across Europe. Nevertheless, users expect a common acceptable level of safety and
accessibility.
There is a growing trend for people to live longer and for disabled people to expect access and design for all.
Therefore, it is especially important to provide a safe means of vertical transport for all lift users including disabled
and elderly persons without assistance.
Furthermore, the life cycle of a lift is longer than most other transportation systems and building equipment, which
therefore means that lift design, performance, safety and accessibility can fall behind modern technologies. If
existing lifts are not upgraded to today's state of the art, the number of problems related to accessibility will
increase as the proportion of the population with disabilities increases, thereby resulting in a less accessible
environment for the society in general.
With the freedom of movement of people within the EU for all users including users with disabilities, familiarity with
the different installations is becoming more desirable.
EN 81-82 has been prepared to address these issues. This European Standard is intended to help owners,
authorities and lift designers/manufacturers to find practical solutions and ways of applying EN 81-70 to existing lifts
to improve accessibility and use by persons including persons with disabilities. Where, due to practical reasons,
EN 81-70 cannot be fully applied, this European Standard provides alternative proposals.
In such cases, it is still considered an advantage to apply parts of EN 81-70. For example, if the existing entrance
opening is not large enough for a wheelchair and cannot be modified, it is still a major improvement to make the lift
controls suitable for other types of disability.
Such changes/improvements could enable elderly and disabled people to remain living in their own homes instead
of having to re-locate to specialised nursing homes.
Use of this European Standard
This European Standard can be used by:
a) national authorities to determine a specific programme of implementation;
b) owners to follow their responsibilities according to existing regulations (e.g. national building regulations, anti
discrimination acts);
c) maintenance companies and/or inspection bodies to inform the owners on the accessibility level of their
installations;
d) owners to upgrade the existing lifts on a voluntary basis if no regulations exist by making an audit of an
existing lift installation using Annex A and Annex B.

1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard provides rules on how to apply EN 81-70 referred to in EN 81-80:2003, 5.2.1 [4] to
existing lifts to improve their accessibility for persons including persons with disability.
1.2 This European Standard applies to permanently installed lifts serving defined landing levels, having a car
designed for the transportation of persons or persons and goods and moving between guide rails inclined not more
than 15° to the vertical.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for
its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the
referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 81-70:2003, Safety rules for the construction and installations of lifts — Particular applications for passenger
and good passenger lifts — Part 70: Accessibility to lifts for persons including persons with disability
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in the EN 81 series of standards apply.
4 List of significant hazards
EN 81-70:2003, Clause 4 applies.
5 Requirements for safe access and use and/or protective measures
5.1 General
The general accessibility of the building needs to be taken into account.
5.2 Entrances – Door opening
5.2.1 Entrance clear opening
If the size of the car is in accordance with EN 81-70:2003, Table 1, the minimum entrance clear opening shall be
800 mm.
NOTE National regulations can require more than 800 mm. Type 2 lifts should be provided with an entrance clear opening
of 900 mm, according to ISO 4190-1 (series B) [6], and type 3 lifts with a clear opening of 1 100 mm.
The car and landing doors shall be constructed as automatic power operated horizontally sliding doors. If that is not
the case and if it is not possible to do so, the manual door shall be converted to a power operated door.
If the lift is equipped with hinged doors at the landings and if the size of the lift does not allow the use by a wheel
chair user, the accessibility can nevertheless be improved for impaired mobility users by the installation of
automatic power operated horizontally sliding doors even if the car entrance has to be reduced (e.g. existing
hinged doors with a car entrance of 800 mm replaced by automatic power operated horizontally sliding doors with a
car entrance of 700 mm).
Existing folding car doors may remain if the accessibility for wheel chair users is not restricted.

Guideline to improve accessibility
A.1 General
It is recognised that whilst the ideal situation is to apply all the requirements of EN 81-70:2003, it is not always
reasonably practical to do so. In deciding the best course of action to remove the physical barriers facing disabled
persons when accessing and using lifts, many factors need to be considered.
For example, the size of the lift well will dictate what size of lift can be installed and if it is large enough to accept
wheelchairs. However, this should not prevent owners from carrying out other improvements in order to provide
benefits to those persons who do not use wheelchairs but might otherwise struggle to use the lift, such as those
with reduced mobility, impaired vision and hearing.
Another example is the need for adding power operated doors to a lift which only has manual doors at present. This
is of high priority to persons in wheelchairs and those of impaired dexterity. However, for those persons with
impaired hearing or impaired speech it may not be as important. What can be seen however is that fitting a light
curtain to lifts which already have power operated doors results in a significant benefit to all persons since it is
reasonably practical with some effectiveness and there is no reason why it should not be incorporated into
accessibility improvements regardless of the anticipated use of the lift.
The above examples show that, when making decisions on the amount and kind of improvements to be
undertaken, this needs to be related to the typical use of the lift, the existing environment and the likelihood of
persons with different types of disability wishing to use the lift.
Combining the type of disability with the effectiveness of improvements enables the introduction of a quantification
of added value to all persons, including persons with disability, using the lift. The effectiveness levels used are:
 1 some benefit to all;
 2 benefit;
 3 important;
 4 vital.
This quantification is used in Table A.1 (accessibility matrix) to demonstrate the effectiveness of the different
improvements in relation to the type of disabilities (see EN 81-70:2003, Table B.1).
