0 Introduction
0.1 General
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
The lifts concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events are
covered is indicated in the scope of this standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards for lifts that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
0.2 Principles
For the revision of this document the following have been considered:
a) practical experience with the first version of this standard;
b) market demand for including new technology;
c) CEN-CENELEC Guide 6;
d) current legal framework for accessibility and usability, in particular:
The non-discrimination clause (art 6a) based on disability and age of Article 19 of consolidated
version 2016 of the Treaty of Lisbon of the European Union requests a new understanding of
diversity of users in the built environment, transport and products, similar to that established in
information and communication technologies.
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities with reference also to accessibility in
the built environment – considering human diversity, social inclusion and equality for all people - is
the first ratified EU agreement on human rights and ratified also by most Member States. It is also
the first international legally binding instrument on human rights setting minimum standards for the
rights for people with disabilities around the world.

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General
5.1.1 Passenger and goods passenger lifts shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective
measures of the following clauses. In addition, passenger and goods passenger lifts shall be designed
according to the principles of EN ISO 12100:2010 for relevant but not significant hazards which are not
dealt with by this document.
5.1.2 Where luminance contrast between adjacent surfaces is required the difference in light
reflectance value (LRV) shall comply with Table 2.
Light reflectance values under viewing angles according to Table 2 taking into account lighting conditions
and reflections of ceilings, walls and floors may be determined by a black and white photo of a sample
with an adjacent LRV scale and comparing surfaces of the sample with the LRV scale. Alternatively, by
placing a LRV scale against the surface of interest, a reasonable match can be identified.
NOTE On shiny and direct reflective surfaces, unfavourable reflections can reduce luminance contrast
determined by LRV-method. Light colour tones for ceiling and wall surfaces, diffuse reflective materials and a wide
light distribution prevent disturbing reflections on the controls. For further guidance on contrast,
see ISO 21542:2011, B.7.2.

5.3.2.3 For car types 1, 2 and 3, a device shall be installed to enable passengers to observe obstacles
behind them when moving backwards out of the car.
5.3.2.4 The car floor shall be slip-resistant, taking into consideration the environment in which the
lift is installed, in particular where passengers with wet shoes are regularly expected to enter the car. The
same material as used in the lift lobbies may be used for the lift car floor.
5.4 Control devices and signals
5.4.1 General
5.4.1.1 Control devices for collective control systems
Collective control systems shall be used in general applications.
The following control devices according to 5.4.2 shall be used:
— push buttons on landings and in the car; or
— extra large push buttons on landings and in the car; or
— push buttons on landings, keypads in the car for floor selection and push buttons in the car for other
control operations.
NOTE For buildings with many landings, keypad-devices can help to fulfil the requirements of Table 5.
5.4.1.2 Control devices for destination control systems
Destination control systems may only be used where guidance to passengers about the specific
operational features of the lift can be ensured.
NOTE Due to their complexity, destination control systems provide a lower level of accessibility for some
passengers than collective control systems, particularly where a touch screen with an accessibility button and
associated acoustic menu is used. When using the acoustic menu, passengers are required to listen, understand and
react to audible information within a specific time period.
The following control devices according to 5.4.3 shall be used:
— keypads and if applicable accessibility buttons on landings, and push buttons in the car; or
— touch screens and accessibility buttons on landings, and push buttons in the car.

0 Introduction
0.1 General
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered
is indicated in the scope of this standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B
standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other
standards for lifts that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
0.2 Principles
For the revision of this document the following have been considered:
a) practical experience with the first version of this standard;
b) market demand for including new technology;
c) CEN-CENELEC Guide 6;
d) current legal framework for accessibility and usability, in particular:
The non-discrimination clause (art 6a) based on disability and age of Article 19 of consolidated
version 2016 of the Treaty of Lisbon of the European Union requests a new understanding of
diversity of users in the built environment, transport and products, similar to that established in
information and communication technologies.
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities with reference also to accessibility in
the built environment – considering human diversity, social inclusion and equality for all people - is
the first ratified EU agreement on human rights and ratified also by most Member States. It is also
the first international legally binding instrument on human rights setting minimum standards for the
rights for people with disabilities around the world.

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General
5.1.1 Passenger and goods passenger lifts shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective
measures of the following clauses. In addition, passenger and goods passenger lifts shall be designed
according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for hazards relevant but not significant which are not dealt
with by this document.
5.1.2 Where luminance contrast between adjacent surfaces is required the difference in light
reflectance value (LRV) shall comply with Table 2.
Light reflectance values under viewing angles according to Table 2 taking into account lighting conditions
and reflections of ceilings, walls and floors may be determined by a black and white photo of a sample
with an adjacent LRV scale and comparing surfaces of the sample with the LRV scale. Alternatively, by
placing a LRV scale against the surface of interest, a reasonable match can be identified.
NOTE On shiny and direct reflective surfaces, unfavourable reflections can reduce luminance contrast
determined by LRV-method. Light colour tones for ceiling and wall surfaces, diffuse reflective materials and a wide
light distribution prevent disturbing reflections on the controls. For further guidance on contrast,
see ISO 21542:2011, B.7.2.

between 35 dB(A) and at least 65 dB(A) and to suit the site conditions. In noisy environments (e.g. on
landings in train stations) the maximum sound level shall be adjustable up to 80 dB(A). The means of
adjustment shall be accessible only to authorized persons.
5.2 Entrances – Door openings
5.2.1 The landing and car doors shall be automatic power operated horizontally sliding doors.
The clear opening width shall be at least 800 mm for type 1 cars, 900 mm for type 2, type 3 and type 4
cars and 1 100 mm for type 5 cars. In existing buildings, the clear opening width shall be at least 800 mm
for type 2 cars.
5.2.2 The door dwell time shall be adjustable at least between 2 s and 20 s to suit the conditions where
the lift is installed. The means of adjustment shall be accessible only to authorized persons.
NOTE A door dwell time of at least 6 s is needed for persons with reduced mobility (see also 5.4.2.2.3).
A door close button may be provided to reduce the door dwell time.
5.3 Car dimensions and equipment in the car
5.3.1 Car dimensions
The inside dimensions of cars with a single entrance or with two opposite or two adjacent entrances shall
be chosen in accordance with Table 3.
Car dimensions shall be measured between the structural car walls. Decorative finishes on each wall that
reduce the minimum car dimensions given by Table 3 shall not exceed 15 mm in thickness.
There shall be no additional features attached to the car walls below a height of 800 mm which may
restrict the accommodation and turning of passengers using wheelchairs or passengers with other
walking aids. This would particularly be the case for type 1 and type 2 cars restricting the minimum depth
and for type 4 cars restricting the smaller minimum dimension.

5.3.2.3 For car types 1, 2 and 3, a device shall be installed to enable passengers to observe obstacles
behind them when moving backwards out of the car.
5.3.2.4 The car floor shall be slip-resistant, taking into consideration the environment in which the
lift is installed, in particular where passengers with wet shoes are regularly expected to enter the car. The
same material as used in the lift lobbies may be used for the lift car floor.
5.4 Control devices and signals
5.4.1 General
5.4.1.1 Control devices for collective control systems
Collective control systems shall be used in general applications.
The following control devices according to 5.4.2 shall be used:
— push buttons on landings and in the car; or
— extra large push buttons on landings and in the car; or
— push buttons on landings, keypads in the car for floor selection and push buttons in the car for other
control operations.
NOTE For buildings with many landings, keypad-devices can help to fulfil the requirements of Table 5.
5.4.1.2 Control devices for destination control systems
Destination control systems may only be used where guidance to passengers about the specific
operational features of the lift can be ensured.
NOTE Due to their complexity, destination control systems provide a lower level of accessibility for some
passengers than collective control systems, particularly where a touch screen with an accessibility button and
associated acoustic menu is used. When using the acoustic menu, passengers are required to listen, understand and
react to audible information within a specific time period.
The following control devices according to 5.4.3 shall be used:
— keypads and if applicable accessibility buttons on landings, and push buttons in the car; or
— touch screens and accessibility buttons on landings, and push buttons in the car.
5.4.2 Control devices and signals for collective control systems
5.4.2.1 Requirements for design and arrangement of control devices
Requirements for the design of control devices are given in Table 4 and requirements for the
arrangement of control devices are given in Table 5.
