radiation are satisfied.
When criteria are combined, the time declared shall be that of the criterion having the shortest time.
EXAMPLE A lift landing door with E: 47 min, W: 25 min and I: 18 min is classified E 45 and/or EW 20 and/or
EI 15.
5.4 Fire resistance classes
Only the fire resistance classes given in Table 1 shall be used.
Table 1 — Fire resistance classes
E 15 20 30 45 60 90 120
EI 15 20 30 45 60 90 120
EW 20 30 60
The fire resistance class of the lift landing door should be indicated in a data label according to Annex G.
6 Verification of safety requirements and/or protective measures
6.1 Test principle
The test consists in exposing the landing side of a lift landing door to the heating conditions specified in
EN 1363-1:2020 for the period for which the door shall be assessed for its fire resistance. During the test,
positive pressure exists over the whole height of the door on the exposed side, inducing the leakage of
furnace gases to the unheated side. A canopy is provided on the unexposed side which collects the leaked
gases and a suction fan draws these through a duct provided with a system for measuring the volume
flow (see Annex A). The concentration of CO , used as a tracer gas, is measured in the furnace and at the
2
airflow measuring point, and by monitoring the gas flow rate and its temperature it is possible to calculate
the leakage rate of hot gases through the test door. The method gives a record of the hot gas leakage as a
function of time which is corrected for normal conditions. This provides a basis for assessing the ability
of the door to act as an effective fire barrier.
NOTE ISO 3008-2:2017 has the same test principle as EN 81-58 based on CO measurement.
2
6.2 Test equipment
6.2.1 The test furnace shall be as described in EN 1363-1:2020.
6.2.2 The canopy shall be as specified in Annex A.
6.2.3 The measuring system for leakage rate shall be as specified in Annex A.

EN 81-58:2022 (E)
6.3 Test conditions
6.3.1 The furnace shall be controlled to follow the temperature/time curve as specified in
EN 1363-1:2020.
6.3.2 The furnace shall maintain positive pressure on the exposed side over the whole height of the
specimen such that the pressure at the sill level is in the range of (2 + 8,5 × H ) ± 2 Pa where H is the
sill sill
vertical distance (in metres) between the sill level and the intended floor level.
NOTE In some applications such as service lifts or dumbwaiters, the sill level is different than the intended
floor level.
6.4 Test specimen
6.4.1 Construction
The test specimen shall be fully representative of the door assembly on which information is required.
6.4.2 Number of test specimens
As information is required when the door is exposed to heating from the landing side only, one specimen
is tested.
6.4.3 Size of specimen
The specimen shall be full size or the maximum size that can be accommodated in the furnace. The
reference size of the front opening of the furnace is 3 m × 3 m. In order to expose a required minimum
width of 200 mm of supporting construction for a 3 m × 3 m furnace, the opening in the supporting
construction is restricted to 2,6 m × 2,8 m (width × height).
6.4.4 Installation of specimen
The specimen shall be mounted in a supporting construction having at least the fire resistance of the
target classification. The supporting construction shall be built first within the test frame leaving an
aperture of the specified size. The width of the supporting construction on the two vertical sides and the
top shall be not less than 200 mm.
The design of the connection between the door and the supporting construction, including any materials
used to make the junction, shall be as stated in instructions for use on the type of the supporting
construction. The position of the door assembly in relation to the supporting construction shall be as
stated in instructions for use.
The clearances at the beginning of test shall correspond to the maximum that is permissible by
EN 81-20:2020, 5.3.1.4, when the lift landing doors are put into service, unless designed for another
smaller maximum gap size, which shall then apply.
6.5 Supporting construction
In view of the field of direct application of test results, the lift landing doors shall be erected in the
standard supporting construction as described in Annex B.
NOTE In special cases, the supporting construction can be of a type with which the door is intended to be used
in practice. In such cases, the field of application of the test results is restricted to that construction.

Introduction
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
are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other
standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C
standard.
EN 81 series has identified the need for lift doors to act as fire barriers against the transfer of a fire via the
lift well. This document specifies a requirements for this purpose. It follows the general principle of
EN 1363-1:2020 and where appropriate the procedure of EN 1634-1:2014+A1:2018. Additionally, a tracer
gas technique for establishing the integrity of a lift landing door is used.

1 Scope
This document specifies the fire resistance requirements for lift landing doors which can be exposed to a fire
from the landing side. This document applies to all types of lift landing doors used as a means of access to
lifts in buildings and which are intended to provide a fire barrier to the spread of fire via the lift well.
It also specifies the method of testing and classification of fire resistance of lift landing doors. The test
method is only valid for furnaces where the door is mounted in a vertical position. The test method allows
for the measurement of integrity and if required the measurement of radiation and thermal insulation.
This document covers the hazard of fire spreading to the lift well during a defined period of time. The fire
resistance requirements are expressed in terms of integrity (E), insulation (EI) and radiation (EW).
This document do not cover other technical requirements in addition to fire resistance requirements. The
other technical requirements are specified in relevant product standards referring to this document.
This document refers to CO as means of tracing the propagation of fire. The document does not cover
2
hazards due to emission of gasses.
This document is not applicable to lift landing doors installed in lifts before the date of its publication.

EW 20 30 60
The fire resistance class of the lift landing door shall be indicated in a data label according to Annex G.
6 Verification
6.1 Test principle
The test consists in exposing the landing side of a lift landing door to the heating conditions specified in
EN 1363-1:2020 for the period for which the door shall be assessed for its fire resistance. During the test,
positive pressure exists over the whole height of the door on the exposed side, inducing the leakage of
furnace gases to the unheated side. A canopy is provided on the unexposed side which collects the leaked
gases and a suction fan draws these through a duct provided with a system for measuring the volume flow
(see Annex A). The concentration of CO , used as a tracer gas, is measured in the furnace and at the airflow
2
measuring point, and by monitoring the gas flow rate and its temperature it is possible to calculate the
leakage rate of hot gases through the test door. The method gives a record of the hot gas leakage as a
function of time which is corrected for normal conditions. This provides a basis for assessing the ability of
the door to act as an effective fire barrier.
NOTE 1 ISO 3008-2 has the same test principle as EN 81-58 based on CO2 measurement.
NOTE 2 EN 1634-1:2014+A1:2018 contains a procedure for the determination of fire resistance of doors which may
be exposed to a fire in a building from either side and are required to prevent the transfer of fire from one side to the
other. Lift landing doors represent a special use of doors where the fire exposure is expected to be from a specified
direction, i.e. the landing side, and where the hazard exists only subsequent to the entry of a fire into the lift well.
6.2 Test equipment
6.2.1 The test furnace shall be as described in EN 1363-1:2020.
6.2.2 The canopy shall be as specified in Annex A.
6.2.3 The measuring system for leakage rate shall be as specified in Annex A.
6.3 Test conditions
6.3.1 The furnace shall be controlled to follow the temperature/time curve as specified in
EN 1363-1:2020.
6.3.2 The furnace shall maintain positive pressure on the exposed side over the whole height of the
specimen such that the pressure at the sill level is in the range of (2 + 8,5 × H ) ± 2 Pa where H is the
sill sill
vertical distance (in metres) between the sill level and the intended floor level.
In some applications such as service lifts or dumbwaiters, the sill level may be different than the intended
floor level.

6.4 Test specimen
6.4.1 Construction
The test specimen shall be fully representative of the door assembly on which information is required.
6.4.2 Number of specimens
As information is required when the door is exposed to heating from the landing side only, one specimen is
tested. A second specimen may be required according to 6.7.2 to verify the door construction.
6.4.3 Size of specimen
The specimen shall be full size or the maximum size that can be accommodated in the furnace. The size of the
front opening of the furnace is 3 m × 3 m. In order to expose a required minimum width of 200 mm of
supporting construction for a 3 m × 3 m furnace, the opening in the supporting construction is restricted to
2,6 m × 2,8 m (width × height).
6.4.4 Installation of specimen
The specimen shall be mounted in a supporting construction having at least the fire resistance of the target
classification. The supporting construction shall be built first within the test frame leaving an aperture of the
specified size. The width of the supporting construction on the two vertical sides and the top shall be not less
than 200 mm.
The design of the connection between the door and the supporting construction, including any materials
used to make the junction, shall be as stated in instructions for use on the type of the supporting
construction. The position of the door assembly in relation to the supporting construction shall be as stated
in instructions for use.
The clearances at the beginning of test shall correspond to the maximum that is permissible by
EN 81-20:2020 when the lift landing doors are put into service, unless designed for another maximum gap
size, which shall then apply.
6.5 Supporting construction
In view of the field of direct application of test results, the lift landing doors shall be erected in the standard
supporting construction as described in Annex B.
NOTE In special cases, the supporting construction may be of a type with which the door is intended to be used in
practice. In such cases, the field of application of the test results is restricted to that construction.
6.6 Conditioning
6.6.1 The test specimen, as well as the supporting construction and any sealing materials used, shall be
conditioned in accordance with the requirements of EN 1363-1:2020 and EN 1634-1:2014+A1:2018. No
special conditioning procedures are required where the specimen is constructed primarily from non-
hygroscopic materials. Full conditioning of the supporting construction may not be required, if there will be
no effect on the behaviour of the specimen or the fixing system.
6.6.2 Samples of materials used in the test door shall be provided to determine moisture content when
necessary.

guidance given in EN 1363-1:2020, 6.5.
6.7.3 Clearance gap measurements and depth of penetration
The clearances between the moving components and the fixed parts of the door assembly shall be measured
prior to the test. Sufficient measurements shall be made to adequately describe the nature of the gaps and
there shall be a minimum of three measurements along each side or edge. The gap sizes shall be described to
an accuracy of ± 0,5 mm. Figure 1 to Figure 4 shows examples of different types of lift landing doors and
