4 Elaboration of maintenance instructions
4.1 General
The installations covered by this European Standard shall be maintained in accordance with the
installer's/manufacturer’s instructions. To this effect, regular maintenance of the installation shall be
carried out, to ensure, in particular, the safety of the installation. The safety of an installation shall take
into account the ability to be maintained without causing injury or damage to health.
Regular maintenance of the installation shall be carried out to ensure the reliability of the installation.
The access and the associated environment shall be maintained in good working order in accordance
with the installer/manufacturer’s instructions.
In order that the aim of the maintenance instructions can be achieved, they shall be formulated so that
they can be clearly and easily understood by competent maintenance persons.
The competence of the maintenance person within the maintenance organization shall be continuously
updated.
The owner of the installation should be informed that the qualification of the maintenance organization
is in conformity with the regulations applicable in the country in which the installation operates; if no
regulations exist, the qualification can be ensured by a certified quality system in accordance with
EN ISO 9001 supplemented if necessary to take into account the specific features of the installation.
The installer/manufacturer shall provide maintenance instructions intended for the owner of the
installation (see 4.3.2) including information intended for the maintenance organization (see 4.3.3).
4.2 Elements to be taken into account for the maintenance instructions
When preparing the content of the maintenance instructions the following elements shall be taken into
account:
a) the specifications and the intended use of the installation (type of installation, performance, type of
goods to be transported, type of users, etc.);
b) the environment in which the installation and its components are installed (weather conditions,
vandalism, etc.);
c) any restriction of use;

4.3.3 Information for the maintenance organization
The information relating to the tasks of the maintenance organization shall include the following:
4.3.3.1 The need to carry out the work of maintenance in conformity with the maintenance
instructions and based on systematic maintenance checks.
After these checks, the maintenance organization shall decide in conformity with the maintenance
instructions what is required to be done.
A list of typical examples of maintenance checks to maintain the installation is shown in Annex A.
NOTE Due to the fact that the components can be different in design and operation, it is therefore not
possible to give specific guidelines in this standard.
4.3.3.2 The need to update the original maintenance instructions if the installation changes its
intended use and/or the environmental conditions existing on the completion of the installation.
The maintenance organization should be provided by the owner of the installation with the relevant
maintenance instructions where modifications are carried out on the installation.
4.3.3.3 The need for the maintenance organization to ensure that a risk assessment for any working
area and for any maintenance operation has been carried out taking into account the
installer's/manufacturer’s maintenance instructions and all information supplied by the owner of the
installation.
4.3.3.4 The need for the maintenance organization to inform the owner of the installation about any
work to be carried out as a consequence of a risk assessment especially for the access and/or the
environment related to the building/installation.
4.3.3.5 The need to carry out a maintenance plan so that preventive maintenance is suitable for the
installation and maintenance time is as short as reasonably practicable, without reducing the safety of
persons, in order to minimize the non-operational time of the installation.
4.3.3.6 The need to adapt the plan for maintenance so as to take account of any predictable failures,
e.g. those due to misuse, mishandling, deterioration, etc.
NOTE For this purpose a remote monitoring system, which is able to report events or defects, helps to
provide information.
4.3.3.7 The need to carry out maintenance operations by competent maintenance persons (see 3.3)
and provided with the necessary tools and equipment.

4.3.3.9 The need to carry out the maintenance periodically.
NOTE The actual frequency of maintenance interventions can be more accurately determined where a
remote monitoring system is connected to the installation.
In determining the frequency of maintenance interventions, the following non-exhaustive list should be
considered:
— number of trips per year, operating time and any non-operating periods of time;
— age and condition of the installation;
— location and type of building in which the installation is installed, as well as the needs of the users
and/or the kind of goods transported;
— local environment where the installation is situated, as well as external environmental elements,
e.g. weather conditions (rain, heat, cold, etc.) or vandalism.
4.3.3.10 The need to provide a 24 h, all year round call-out service for rescue of persons.
NOTE A remote monitoring system can be used to provide information in order to improve the response to a
call-out.
4.3.3.11 The need to keep records of the result of each intervention due to a failure of the
installation. These records shall include the type of failures in order to detect any repetition. They shall
be available to the owner of the installation on request.
4.3.3.12 The need to put out of service the installation if the maintenance organization is aware of a
dangerous situation, detected during the maintenance, which cannot be eliminated immediately, and to
inform the owner of the installation of the need to keep it out of service until repaired.
4.3.3.13 The need to be organized to provide the necessary spare parts for any repair.
4.3.3.14 The possible need for attendance of a competent maintenance person(s), given reasonable
notice, for any inspection carried out by an authorized third party or for building maintenance works to
be carried out in the areas reserved for the maintenance organization.
4.3.3.15 The need to inform in due time the owner of the installation about necessary progressive
upgrading of the installation.
4.3.3.16 The need to organize rescue operations, even with subcontractor(s), and to make provision
for circumstances such as fire, panic, etc.
5 Risk assessment
5.1 General
Before an installation is provided for use, it is necessary that the installer/manufacturer carries out a
risk assessment in accordance with risks associated with the use of that installation.
Every risk shall be limited as much as reasonably possible by means of safety measures and suitable
instructions. The instructions can never replace a safety measure which can be provided to reduce the
risk.
12
---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 13015:2017
prEN 13015:2017 (E)
It is necessary to determine the different intervention procedures of the maintenance operations and to
determine the appropriate safety measures for each of these procedures.
The use of diagnostic systems may support fault finding, improve the maintainability of the installation
and reduce the exposure of maintenance persons to hazards.
Safety in maintenance operations of the installation is ensured by adopting safety measures and
providing instructions. Safety measures on the installation and in the building shall be provided by the
installer/manufacturer and by the owner of the installation respectively.
For any working area, it is necessary to identify the list of the specific hazards related to health and
safety and to carry out a risk assessment for any maintenance operation, including access to the
working area.
For this purpose, the following should be taken into account:
a) presence of one or more maintenance persons in a working area;
b) foreseeable actions of persons other than maintenance persons (e.g. person switching on or off
power circuits and dependent circuits or lighting circuits or trying to use the installation during
maintenance operations, etc.);
c) possible states of the installation (normal or abnormal due to a foreseeable failure of its component
parts, external disturbances, disturbance of its power supply, etc.).
Annex B gives a list of examples of eleme
