Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts - Particular applications to passenger lifts and goods passenger lifts - Part 71: Vandal resistant lifts
This document gives additional and deviating requirements to EN 81-20 as applicable in order to ensure the safety of lift users and the availability of lifts, which may be used for vandal resistant purposes. In all other respects such lifts are designed in accordance with EN 81-20. This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to lifts which can be affected by vandalism (as listed in Clause 4) when they are used under the conditions as foreseen by the installer.
It does not cover building security or Category 0 lifts (see definition 3.2).
For other types of lifts, e.g. inclined lifts according to EN 81-22, this standard can usefully be taken as a basis.
Sicherheitsregeln für die Konstruktion und den Einbau von Aufzügen - Spezielle Anwendungen für Personen- und Lastenaufzüge - Teil 71: Schutzmaßnahmen gegen mutwillige Zerstörung
Dieses Dokument beinhaltet zusätzliche oder abweichende Anforderungen zur EN 81 20 für die Sicherheit von Aufzugsbenutzern und die Verfügbarkeit von Aufzügen, bei denen mit mutwilliger Zerstörung gerechnet werden muss. In allen anderen Punkten sind diese Aufzüge nach EN 81 20 ausgeführt. Dieses Dokument behandelt die signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und -ereignisse (wie in Abschnitt 4 aufgelistet) von Aufzügen, die mutwilliger Zerstörung ausgesetzt sein können, wenn sie unter den vorgesehenen Bedingungen bestimmungsgemäß genutzt werden.
Es umfasst nicht die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen für das Gebäude oder Aufzüge der Kategorie 0 (siehe Begriff 3.2).
Für andere Arten von Aufzügen, beispielsweise Aufzüge mit geneigter Fahrbahn gemäß der EN 81 22, kann diese Norm als nützliche Grundlage herangezogen werden.
Règles de sécurité pour la construction et l’installation des ascenseurs - Applications particulières aux ascenseurs et ascenseurs de charge - Partie 71: Ascenseurs résistant au vandalisme
La présente norme donne des exigences complémentaires ou des déviations à l’EN 81-20 pour assurer la sécurité des usagers de l’ascenseur et la disponibilité des ascenseurs devant résister à des actes de vandalisme. Pour tous les autres aspects, ces ascenseurs doivent être conçus conformément à l’EN 81-20. La présente norme traite des phénomènes dangereux significatifs, des situations dangereuses et des phénomènes spécifiques aux ascenseurs soumis au vandalisme (selon liste de l’Article 4) lorsqu’ils sont utilisés dans les conditions prévues par l’installateur.
Elle ne couvre pas les aspects de sécurité liés au bâtiment, ni les ascenseurs de la catégorie 0 (voir définition en 3.2).
Pour d’autres types d’ascenseurs, par exemple les ascenseurs à voie inclinée selon l’EN 81-22, la présente norme peut parfaitement être utilisée comme base.
Varnostna pravila za konstruiranje in vgradnjo dvigal (liftov) - Posebne izvedbe osebnih in osebno-tovornih dvigal - 71. del: Dvigala, odporna proti vandalizmu
Ta dokument podaja dodatne zahteve in take, ki odstopajo od standarda EN 81-20, z namenom zagotavljanja varnosti uporabnikov dvigal in razpoložljivosti dvigal, ki se lahko uporabljajo za namene odpornosti proti vandalizmu. V drugih pogledih so takšna dvigala zasnovana v skladu s standardom EN 81-20. Ta dokument obravnava pomembne nevarnosti, nevarne razmere in dogodke, povezane z dvigali, na katere lahko vpliva vandalizem (kot je navedeno v točki 4), kadar se dvigala uporabljajo pod pogoji, ki jih je predvidel monter.
Ta standard ne obravnava varnosti objektov ali dvigal kategorije 0 (glej definicijo iz točke 3.2).
Ta standard je mogoče uporabljati kot osnovo za druge vrste dvigal, npr. nagnjena dvigala v skladu s standardom EN 81-22.

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.
This document provides guidance to the building designer, customer etc. and requirements for
design, where it is considered additional security or other measures may be required in order to
protect against the risk of vandalism. The customer will need to consider the extent of additional
protection required, as covered by the enclosed proposals, which may be adopted according to the
environment in which the lift installation is situated and the type of vandalism that is likely to be
experienced. Every lift is subject to some amount of careless or rough use. Lifts built to EN 81-20
offer a reasonable degree of protection against this and are referred to in this document as
Category 0. This document addresses additional protective measures against deliberate acts that
may result in equipment damage or injury to persons for lifts referred to in this document as Category
1 or Category 2.
With regard to potential hazards for vandalism the following factors are taken into consideration:
— degree of accessibility to the installation;
— the surrounding area;
— observation by others in the vicinity;
— extent of building security and surveillance of lift(s);
— period of access to the building, including the lift(s) (24 h);
— vulnerability of lift.
The clauses in this document apply to both Category 1 lifts and Category 2 lifts as defined in this
document (see Annex A) unless otherwise stated in the text.
The following assumptions were made whilst writing this document:
— the lift is designed to meet the basic requirements detailed in EN 81-20;
— the building and/or the lift structure are at least in accordance with the advice given in Annex A,
which form the basis of the negotiations outlined in EN 81-20:2014, 0.4.2;
— the lift, its well, landing and access areas, machinery spaces(s) and all associated equipment are
properly maintained in good, safe working order.
The forces exerted on the lift and its equipment will be as a result of manual effort or by item(s) such
as those defined in Annex E.

1 Scope
This document gives additional and deviating requirements to EN 81-20 as applicable in order to
ensure the safety of lift users and the availability of lifts, which may be used for vandal resistant
purposes. In all other respects such lifts are designed in accordance with EN 81-20. This document
deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to lifts which can be
affected by vandalism (as listed in Clause 4) when they are used under the conditions as foreseen by
the installer.
It does not cover building security or Category 0 lifts (see definition 3.2).
For other types of lifts, e.g. inclined lifts according to EN 81-22, this standard can usefully be taken as
a basis.

5.4.1.5 For Category 2 lifts, the distance between each landing door, or its attachments at the
leading edge, and the car door(s), or its attachments at the leading edge, shall not exceed 35 mm. This
distance shall be maintained back from the leading edge over a length of not less than 75 mm and
returned at an angle not exceeding 45° to the rear of the door panel. This return angle may be omitted
over a length not exceeding 200 mm at the top and/or bottom of the door panel to allow the fixing of
door equipment. Where the distance is maintained back for a length of 200 mm or more, then the
return angle is not required (see Figure 1).

5.4.1.7 For Category 2 lifts, where panels are mechanically linked, the linkage shall be so
designed or located that it cannot be disengaged by a user, with an item as described in Annex E
within a period of 60 s.
5.4.1.8 For Category 2 lifts, the leading edge profile of car and landing doors shall be formed as
an integral part of the door.
5.4.2 Landing door security system – Category 2 lifts
5.4.2.1 At any floor where the car is not present, a security system shall prevent opening the
landing door with an emergency unlocking key as stated in EN 81-20:2014, 5.3.9.3.1 or by using an
item as described in Annex E, unless this system has been de-activated.
5.4.2.2 A device to manually activate and de-activate the system shall be in at least one of the
following locations:
a) the machine room;
b) control cabinet;
c) emergency and inspection panel.
The device shall be clearly marked with a pictogram as shown in Annex C. The pictogram shall also
be located on or adjacent to the lift entrance at the main entry/exit floor of the building.
5.4.2.3 After manual de-activation, the system shall be automatically re-activated after a period
