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 1070.
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 81-1 or EN 81-2 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.
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 81-1 or EN 81-2, including
Amendment A2;
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 0.2.5 of EN 81-1:1998 or EN 81-2:1998;
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 81-1 and EN 81-2 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 81–1, including Amendment A2 or EN 81-2,
including Amendment A2. 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 O lifts (see definition 3.2).

5.3.1.2 Car and landing door assemblies, together with their frames and fixings shall withstand the soft
pendulum shock test as specified in Annex J of EN 81-1:1998 or EN 81-2:1998 without component failure or

operative after the test. The falling heights for the tests shall be as follows:
a) for Category 1 lifts: 700 mm;
b) for Category 2 lifts: 1 000 mm.
NOTE It is recognised that Annex J in EN 81-1:1998 or EN 81-2:1998 applies to glass doors. However, for the
purpose of this document, the test is considered appropriate for all materials, although J.5 f) still only applies to glass
doors.
5.3.1.3 Doors shall be provided with a means for retaining the door panels in position should the roller or
guide shoe assemblies fail. These devices shall withstand, on their own, the soft pendulum shock test as
specified in Annex J of EN 81-1:1998 or EN 81-2:1998 with a falling height increased to 1 400 mm without
loss of integrity of the door assembly.
NOTE After this test the doors do not need to be able to operate.
5.3.1.4 For Category 2 lifts vision panels shall not be used.
5.3.1.5 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).

5.3.2 Landing door security system – Category 2 lifts
5.3.2.1 At any floor where the lift is not present, a security system shall prevent opening the landing door
with an emergency unlocking key as stated in 7.7.3.2 of EN 81-1:1998 or EN 81-2:1998 or by using an item as
described in Annex E, unless this system has been de-activated.
5.3.2.2 A device to manually activate and de-activate the system shall be in at least one of the following
locations:

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.
5.3.2.3 After manual de-activation, the system shall be automatically re-activated after a period of
between 30 min and 60 min, to prevent the doors being left without the security system operative. However,
when the lift is placed on inspection control, or a stopping device is operated, this time sequence shall stop.
Once the lift is returned to normal operation, the time sequence shall be re-initiated. Each manual re-activation
shall reduce any remaining time delay to a value between 30 s and 60 s.
5.3.2.4 In the event of failure of the main power supply, the system shall remain operative for at least two
hours by means of a back-up power supply. In the event of disconnection of the main switch, the system shall
be immediately deactivated.
NOTE The design of this back-up power is subject to negotiation, e.g. by battery or by secondary power supply.
5.3.2.5 Where this system is installed on:
a) firefighters lifts in conformity with EN 81-72, it shall be automatically de-activated when the lift is placed
on Fire Control;
b) lifts in conformity with EN 81-73, it shall be automatically de-activated when an input signal according to
5.1.1 of EN 81-73:2005 is initiated.
5.3.3 Door coupling mechanism
For Category 2 lifts, whilst the car is stationary in the unlocking zone it shall not be possible to de-couple the
car and landing doors by hand or the use of a item as described in Annex E within a period of 60 s.
5.3.4 Door reversal mechanism
For Category 2 lifts, any protective devices for reversing the car and landing doors when closing shall be
positioned such as to be inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
5.3.5 Locking of car doors
The car door(s) shall always be provided with a mechanical locking device in compliance with EN 81-1:1998
or EN 81-2:1998, 8.9.3.
NOTE The reference to 11.2.1c) in 8.9.3 of EN 81-1:1998 and EN 81-2:1998 should be disregarded
