Introduction
This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are
covered is indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this document are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards,
the provisions of this document take precedence over the provisions of the other standards for lifts that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this document.
This document specifies a lift to be used for the evacuation of persons with disabilities and persons with
disabled mobility automatically or under the direction and control of the building management.
Annex A provides a concept for the use of an evacuation lift.
The following assumptions were made in writing this document:
a) the building is provided with means to protect the following from the effects of fire and smoke for
at least the maximum planned duration of the evacuation:
— the lift well;
— machine rooms and machinery spaces;
— refuges;
— safe areas including direct access to safe exit;
— landing doors which are not in safe areas;
— hose or piping and cables between the lift well and machinery spaces;
— power supplies and supply cables.
b) fire and smoke detection is provided at least in the evacuation lift well, safe areas and machinery
spaces;
c) smoke management to prevent the ingress of smoke into the lift well, safe area and stairs. e.g. air
pressurization;
d) power supplies are secure and reliable; to ensure this the provision of a secondary supply or an
alternative supply cable from the main building intake is considered to be essential;
e) the number, size and speed of lifts, and the floors to be served, have been determined as part of the
building design and are appropriate for the intended purpose including the use by persons in
wheelchairs etc.;
f) the building is designed to minimize the risk of flooding into the lift or lift well. To this end,
sprinkler discharge, burst pipes, fire hose etc. are not located to discharge within or towards the lift
and any water close to the lift is directed away from it by sloping floors etc.;
g) the lift is maintained and the evacuation operation is tested at suitable regular intervals to ensure
its availability in the event of an evacuation;
h) negotiations have been made between the owner, customer, building designers, fire authorities or
other relevant bodies and installer concerning the evacuation plan including the following:
5
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 81-76:2020
prEN 81-76:2019 (E)
1) the intended use of the lift (whether to use the lift for evacuation and when to remove it from
evacuation service is assumed to be a building management decision);
2) the building evacuation strategy;
3) the floors to be served during evacuation;
4) the design of the lift to fulfil the requirements of the evacuation strategy e.g. attendant control
with visual signals and audible announcements;
5) the maximum planned time of the evacuation;
6) building requirements (e.g. structural and technical fire safety measures);
7) suitable maintenance and verification plan;
8) interfaces between the lift and the building management system (BMS) or fire detection system
and responsibilities for signalling systems to return the lift to the appropriate evacuation
floor(s) e.g. the use of an automatic recall device such as the building's fire detection system in
addition to the evacuation lift switch;
9) location, type and protection of evacuation lift switch;
10) water management (if applicable);
11) emergency lighting in safe areas and staircases.
NOTE Developers and architects are expected to take account of national building regulations.

5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 Environment/Building requirements
5.1.1 The evacuation lift shall be located in a well with a safe area in front of every landing door which
according to the evacuation plan requires evacuation service. Where no evacuation service is provided,
a fire shutter or a fire door can be provided as alternative to the safe area.
5.1.2 It is the responsibility of national regulations to determine the required levels of fire resistance
and other building requirements that shall be addressed for a safe evacuation lift:
— fire resistance of the safe areas in front of the landing doors;
— fire resistance of staircases;
— separation of the well;
— fire resistance of the landing doors;
— fire resistance of the lift well and machinery space walls;

5.1.8 In the case of an air pressurized well, the following points shall be considered by those
designing the pressurization system:
— air speed into the well is minimized to avoid excessive swaying of travelling cable or compensation
means;
— when the lift is in evacuation control, noise levels from the pressurization system are less than 80
dB(A) at positions 0,5 m from the microphones in the car, at every landing which according to the
evacuation plan require service, and at the MEEF;
— the pressurization shall not affect the opening and closing of the car and landing doors.
It is assumed that air pressurizing of the well does not cause any negative impacts on normal operation
or safe maintenance activi
