European foreword
This document (EN 81-70:2021/prA1:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 10
“Lifts, escalators and moving walks”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
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(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of
EN 81-70:2021.
The need for an amendment was based on the following points:
— Modified requirements on luminance contrast by changing from LRV difference to Michelson
contrast for symbols to their background;
— Addition of requirement for illumination of control devices;
— New Annex for guidance on measurement of luminance contrast.
