0 Introduction
0.1 General
This standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered is indicated in the scope of this standard.
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 lifts that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
0.2 Principles
For the revision of this standard the following have been considered:
a) practical experience with the first version of this standard;
b) market demand for including new technology;
c) CEN-CENELEC Guide 6;
d) current legal framework for accessibility and usability, in particular:
The non-discrimination clause (art 6a) based on disability and age of Article 19 of consolidated
version 2016 of the Treaty of Lisbon of the European Union requests a new understanding of
diversity of users in the built environment, transport and products, similar to that established in
information and communication technologies.
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities with reference also to accessibility in
the built environment – considering human diversity, social inclusion and equality for all people - is
the first ratified EU agreement on human rights and ratified also by most Member States. It is also
the first international legally binding instrument on human rights setting minimum standards for
the rights for people with disabilities around the world.
0.3 Assumptions
Intensive studies have been made on the different categories of disability to establish related hazards
and their risks (see Annex A).
The application of this standard is based on following assumptions:
a) It is the responsibility of national building regulations to specify in which buildings accessible lifts
according to this standard will be installed.
b) National building regulations will not conflict with the provisions of this standard.
c) Obstacle-free accessibility on the landing floors is provided on all eligible floors.
d) Visual and tactile floor guidance systems for finding lifts and their landing control stations in a
building are considered by building planners and building designers.
0.4 Negotiations
It is assumed that negotiations have been made for each contract between the customer and the
supplier/installer about:
4
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
SIST EN 81-70:2018
EN 81-70:2018 (E)
a) the intended use of the lift, particularly concerning the kind of expected passengers which may
have an impact on the selection of appropriate and optional solutions of this standard (e.g. for
buildings where a higher level of accessibility may be foreseen according to Annex D);
b) temporary activation of specific features of the lift;
c) environmental conditions;
d) civil engineering problems;
e) other aspects related to the place of installation e.g. how to ensure guidance to passengers about
the specific operational features of the lift.

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General
5.1.1 Passenger and goods passenger lifts shall comply with the safety requirements and/or
protective measures of the following clauses. In addition, passenger and goods passenger lifts shall be
designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100 for hazards relevant but not significant which are
not dealt with by this document (e.g. sharp edges).
The requirements of EN 81-20 and EN 81-28 apply with additional requirements elaborated below.
5.1.2 Where luminance contrast between adjacent surfaces is required the difference in light
reflectance value (LRV) shall comply with Table 2.
Light reflectance values under viewing angles according to Table 2 taking into account lighting
conditions and reflections of ceilings, walls and floors may be determined by a black and white photo of
a sample with an adjacent LRV scale and comparing surfaces of the sample with the LRV scale.
Alternatively, by placing a LRV scale against the surface of interest, a reasonable match can be
identified.
NOTE On shiny and direct reflective surfaces, unfavourable reflections can reduce luminance contrast
determined by LRV-method. Light colour tones for ceiling and wall surfaces, diffuse reflective materials and a
wide light distribution prevent disturbing reflections on the controls. For further guidance on contrast
see ISO 21542:2011, B.7.2.
