Safety rules for the construction and installations of lifts - Particular applications for passenger and good passengers lifts - Part 77: Lifts subject to seismic conditions

This European Standard specifies the special provisions and safety rules for passenger and goods passenger lifts where these lifts are permanently installed in buildings that are in compliance with EN 1998-1(Eurocode 8). This standard defines additional requirements to EN 81-1 and EN 81-2. It applies to new passenger lifts and goods passenger lifts. However, it may be used as a basis to improve the safety of existing passenger and goods passenger lifts. It does not apply to seismic lift category 0 as defined in Table A.1. This European Standard does not address other risks due to seismic events (for example fire, flood, explosion).

Introduction
The lifts concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered, are
indicated in the scope of this document.
This document is a Type C Standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
When the provisions of this C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this document take precedence over the other standards, for lifts that have been designed and
built according to the provisions of this document.
The objective of this standard is to define additional safety rules related to passenger and goods/passenger-
lifts with a view to safeguarding persons and objects against the risks described below associated with the
use, maintenance, inspection and emergency operation of lifts subject to seismic conditions.
The aim of this European Standard is to:
— avoid loss of life and reduce the extent of injuries;
— avoid people trapped in the lift;
— avoid damage;
— avoid environmental problems related to oil leakage;
— reduce the number of lifts out of service.
It is assumed that negotiations have been made for each contract between the customer and the
supplier/installer about the design acceleration (a ) to be considered and the most effective position of the
d
seismic detection system, if any, and of the primary wave detection system, if any. The building designer or
the lift owner should provide the design acceleration (a ) which will be documented in the information for the
d
owner provided by the installer.
This European Standard covers only the effects of earthquakes and not the nature of them.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the special provisions and safety rules for passenger and goods passenger
lifts where these lifts are permanently installed in buildings that are in compliance with EN 1998-1
(Eurocode 8).
This standard defines additional requirements to EN 81-1 and EN 81-2.
It applies to new passenger lifts and goods passenger lifts. However, it may be used as a basis to improve the
safety of existing passenger and goods passenger lifts.
It does not apply to seismic lift category 0 as defined in Table A.1.
This European Standard does not address other risks due to seismic events (for example fire, flood,
explosion).

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 81-1:1998+A3:2009 and
EN 81-2:1998+A3:2009 and the following apply.
3.1
snag point
point of interference between flexible elements (for example ropes, chains, travelling cable, etc.) and fixed
elements (for example by guide rail brackets, guide rail clip bolts, fishplates, vanes, and similar devices)

3.3
seismic lift categories
lifts have been divided into categories, taking into account the design acceleration (a )
d
Note 1 to entry: Table A.1 shows the seismic lift categories.
3.4
primary wave
compressional waves that are longitudinal in nature
Note 1 to entry: Earthquake advance warning is possible by detecting the non-destructive primary waves that travel
more quickly through the Earth's crust than do the destructive secondary waves. The amount of advance warning depends
on the delay between the arrival of the primary wave and other destructive waves, generally in the order of seconds for
distant, large quakes.
3.5
secondary wave
shear waves that are transverse in nature, its motion being perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation
Note 1 to entry: Secondary waves move through solids, unlike surface waves. They are destructive and arrive later
than primary waves.
3.6
seismic trigger level
seismic acceleration which used to activate a seismic detection system
3.7
seismic mode
special mode in which the lift operates after detection of seismic trigger level
3.8
seismic stand-by mode
special mode in which the lift operates after detection of primary wave without the activation of the seismic
detection system
3.9
normal operation
operation mode in which the lift performs when not in seismic mode or in seismic stand-by mode
3.10
retaining device
physical mechanical device securely fixed to a structural member of the lift car, counterweight or balancing
weight frame, designed to retain the lift car and counterweight (balancing weight) within its guide rails during
seismic activity
3.11
expansion joint
assembly designed to safely absorb the heat-induced expansion and contraction of various construction
materials, to absorb vibration, or to allow movement due to ground settlement or earthquakes
4 List of significant hazards
This clause contains all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as far as they are dealt with
in this document, identified by risk assessment as significant for this type of lift and which require action to
eliminate or reduce the risk (see Table 1).
