European foreword

This document (prEN 12159:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 10 “Lifts,

escalators and moving walks”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document supersedes EN 12159:2012.

prEN 12159:2020 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 12159:2012:

— hydraulic driven hoists, drum driven hoists and expanding linkage mechanism are removed from the

scope of the standard;
— additional clarifications of the scope concerning multiple hoists;
— limit state method added;
— out of service wind calculation updated;
— introducing performance levels for safety functions;
— modified the definition of overload;
— normative references are updated.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the

European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

For relationship with EU Directive 2006/42/EC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of

Introduction

This document is one of a series of standards produced by CEN/TC 10/SC 1 as part of the CEN programme

of work to produce machinery safety standards.
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.

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 machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C

standard.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered

are indicated in the scope of this document.
