Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts - Existing lifts - Part 80: Rules for the improvement of safety of existing passenger and goods passenger lifts
1.1 This European Standard gives rules for improving existing lifts with the aim of reaching today's state of the art of general safety.
NOTE Due to situations such as the building design etc. it may not be possible in all cases to reach today's state of the art.
1.2 This standard has taken into consideration safety requirements of the directives listed in the Bibliography and of EN 81 series of the safety standards for lifts.
NOTE The EN 81-series of standards for particular applications can be used as a basis for improving safety of existing lifts, providing they have been officially accepted. However, not all clauses may apply or be "reasonably practicable" (see note to 1.3).
1.3 It is the responsibility of each national authority to apply this standard and to determine its own programme of implementation in a step by step process (see Annex A (normative)) in a reasonable and practicable way based on :
3 the level of risk (e.g. extreme, high, medium, low) ;
3 social and economic considerations.
NOTE "Reasonably practicable" is defined as follows : "In deciding what is reasonably practicable the seriousness of risk to injury should be weighted against the difficulty and cost of removing or reducing that risk. In considering the cost no allowance should be made for the size, nature or profitability of the business concerned. Where the difficulty and costs are high, and a careful assessment of the risk shows it to be comparatively unimportant, action may not need to be taken. On the other hand where the risk is high, action should be taken at whatever cost".
1.4 This standard includes the improvement of safety for :
a) users of passenger and goods passenger lifts ;
b) lift maintenance and inspection personnel ;
c) persons outside the well, machine room and the pulley room (if any) ;
d) any authorised persons.
1.5 Excluded from this standard are the following :
a) rack and pinions lifts, screw and chain lifts etc. ;
b) lifting appliances
Sicherheitsregeln für die Konstruktion und den Einbau von Aufzügen - Bestehende Aufzüge - Teil 80: Regeln für die Erhöhung der Sicherheit bestehender Personen- und Lastenaufzüge
1.1 Diese Europäische Norm enthält Regeln für die Verbesserung bestehender Aufzüge mit dem Ziel, den heutigen allgemeinen Stand der Sicherheitstechnik zu erreichen.
ANMERKUNG Aufgrund besonderer Situationen wie z.B. Gebäudeausführung usw. kann es möglich sein, daß nicht immer der heutige Stand der Technik erreicht wird.
1.2 Diese Norm berücksichtigt Sicherheitsanforderungen aus Vorschriften, die in den Literaturhinweisen aufgeführt sind und der EN 81-Reihe von Sicherheitsnormen für Aufzüge.
ANMERKUNG Die EN 81-Normenreihe für besondere Anwendungen kann als Grundlage für die Verbesserung der Sicherheit bestehender Aufzüge herangezogen werden, falls sie offiziell angenommen wurden. Möglicherweise sind nicht alle Abschnitte zutreffend oder "vernünftig anwendbar" (siehe Anmerkung zu 1.3).
1.3 Es liegt in der Verantwortung jeder nationalen Behörde, diese Norm anzuwenden und die Vorgehensweise zu deren Einführung schrittweise auf vernünftige und anwendbare Weise basierend auf
3 der Höhe des Risikos (z. B. extrem, hoch, mittel, niedrig);
3 sozialen und ökonomischen Betrachtungen
zu bestimmen (siehe Anhang A (informativ)).
ANMERKUNG "Vernünftig anwendbar" ist wie folgt definiert: "Bei der Entscheidung, was vernünftig anwendbar ist, sollte die Schwere des Unfallrisikos zu den Schwierigkeiten und Kosten, die zu seiner Beseitigung oder Verringerung anfallen, ins Verhältnis gesetzt werden. Bei der Betrachtung der Kosten sollte keine Rücksicht auf den Umfang, Art und Rentabilität der anstehenden Aufgabe genommen werden. Falls die Schwierigkeiten und Kosten hoch sind und eine sorgsame Einschätzung des Risikos dieses als vergleichsweise unbedeutend einstuft, brauchen keine Maßnahmen ergriffen werden. Ist andererseits das Risiko hoch, sollten Maßnahmen ohne Rücksicht auf anfallende Kosten durchgeführt werden.

Foreword
This document (EN 81-80:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 10 “Lifts, escalators and
moving walks”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by June 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
June 2004.
Regulations concerning the safety upgrading of existing lifts vary from member state to member state and have
not, to date, been harmonised at either international or European level.
CEN/CENELEC have embarked on a programme of work to produce a series of related machinery and lift safety
standards as part of the process of European harmonisation. This standard both makes use of and refers to
EN 292 parts 1 and 2 and most of the EN 81 series of standards (see clause 2).
This standard is part of the EN 81 series of standards: “Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts”.
This is the first edition of the standard.
Annexes A and B are informative.
This document includes a Bibliography.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,

Introduction
Background of this standard
More than 3 million lifts are in use today in EU and EFTA and almost 50 % were installed more than 20 years ago.
Existing lifts were installed to the safety level appropriate at that time. This level is less than today’s state of the art
for safety.
New technologies and social expectations have led to today's state of the art for safety. This has led to the situation
today of different levels of safety across Europe causing accidents. However, users and authorised persons expect
a common acceptable level of safety.
In addition, 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 disabled and elderly
persons without supervision.
Lift attendants and in many cases building caretakers are not so common anymore, so it is important that relevant
safety features for the rescue of trapped persons should be provided.
Furthermore the life cycle of a lift is longer than most other transportation systems and building equipment, which
therefore means that lift design, performance and safety can fall behind modern technologies. If existing lifts are
not upgraded to today's state of the art of safety the number of injuries will increase (especially in buildings which
can be accessed by the general public).
With the freedom of movement of people within the EU for both users and authorised persons, familiarisation with
the different installations is becoming more and more difficult.
Approach of this standard
This standard
categorises various hazards and hazardous situations, each of which has been analysed by a risk
assessment;
is intended to provide corrective actions to progressively and selectively improve, step by step, the safety of all
existing passenger and goods passenger lifts towards today’s state of the art for safety;
enables each lift to be audited and safety measures to be identified and implemented in a step by step and
selective fashion according to the frequency and severity of any single risk;
lists the high, medium and low risks and corrective actions which can be applied in separate steps in order to
eliminate the risks.
Other designs to previous national regulations or standards, providing they have an equivalent safety level, may be
acceptable.
Use of this standard
This standard can be used as a guideline for:
a) national authorities to determine its own programme of implementation in a step by step process via a filtering
1)
process (see annex A) in a reasonable and practicable way based on the level of risk (e.g. extreme, high,
medium, low) and social and economic considerations;
b) owners to follow their responsibilities according to existing regulations (e.g. Use of Work Equipment Directive);
1) "Reasonable and practicable” is defined as follows: “In deciding what is reasonably practicable the seriousness of a risk to
injury should be weighted against the difficulty and cost of removing or reducing that risk. Where the difficulty and costs are
high, and a careful assessment of the risk shows it to be comparatively unimportant, action may not need to be taken. On the
other hand where the risk is high, action should be taken at whatever cost.”

EN 81-80:2003 (E)
c) maintenance companies and/or inspection bodies to inform the owners on the safety level of their installations;
d) owners to upgrade the existing lifts on a voluntary basis in accordance with c) if no regulations exist.
In making an audit of an existing lift installation annex B can be used to identify the hazards and corrective actions
in this standard. However, where a hazardous situation is identified which is not covered in this standard a
separate risk assessment should be made. This risk assessment should be based on ISO/TS 14798
(see bibliography).

1 Scope
1.1 This European Standard gives rules for improving the safety of existing lifts with the aim of reaching an
equivalent level of safety to that of a newly installed lift by the application of today’s state of the art for safety.
NOTE Due to situations such as the building design etc. it may not be possible in all cases to reach today’s state of the art
for safety.
1.2 This standard applies for permanently installed
electric lifts, with traction or positive drive;
hydraulic 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.
1.3 This standard includes the improvement of safety of existing passenger and goods passenger lifts for:
a) users;
b) maintenance and inspection personnel;
c) persons outside the well, machine room and the pulley room (but in their immediate vicinity);
d) any authorised persons.
1.4 This standard is not applicable to:
a) lifts with drive systems others than those defined in EN 81-1 or EN 81-2;
b) lifting appliances such as paternosters, mine lifts, theatre lifts, appliances with automatic caging, skips, lifts and
hoists for building and public works sites, ships’ hoists, platforms for exploration or drilling at sea, construction
and maintenance appliances;
c) installations where the inclination of the guide rails to the vertical exceeds 15°;
d) safety during transport, installation, repairs and dismantling of lifts;
e) fire fighting operation.
However, this standard can usefully be taken as a reference basis.
2 Normative references
