Introduction
Background
More than 4 million lifts are in use today in EU and EFTA and almost 50 % were installed more than 25 years ago.
Existing lifts were installed to the safety level appropriate at that time. This level is less than today’s state of the art
lifts built to EN 81-1 or EN 81-2, offering already a reasonable degree of protection against vandalism.
Furthermore the life cycle of a lift is longer than most other transportation systems and building equipment, which
therefore means that lift design, performance, safety and resistance against vandalism can fall behind modern
technologies. If existing lifts are not upgraded to today's state of the art of safety and/or protection against
vandalism the number of incidents will increase.
This document provides guidance to building owners addressing in particular existing lifts installed in buildings
where it is considered additional security or other measures may be required to protect against the risk of
vandalism. The building owner 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.
This document is based upon and referring to EN 81-71:2005 and addresses additional protective measures
against deliberate acts that may result in equipment damage or injury to persons.
Approach
This Technical Specification
defines the categories of vandalism according to EN 81-71:2005, Annex A, taking into account the existing
environment and the likelihood of persons acting as a vandal;
categorises various hazards and hazardous situations, each of which has been analysed by a risk
assessment;
is intended to provide corrective actions to progressively and selectively improve, step by step, the level of
vandal resistance of existing passenger and goods passenger lifts towards today’s state of the art;
enables each lift to be audited and measures against vandalism to be identified and implemented in a step by
step and selective fashion;
lists the high, medium and low priorities and corrective actions which can be applied in separate steps in order
to eliminate the risks.
Other designs to previous national regulations or standards, providing they have an equivalent safety level, may be
acceptable.
Use
This Technical Specification can be used as a guideline for:
a) national authorities to determine its own programme of implementation in a step by step process via a filtering
1)
process (see Annex A) in a reasonable and practicable way based on the priorities level (high, medium, low)
and social and economic considerations;
1)
"Reasonable and practicable” is defined as follows: “In deciding what is reasonably practicable the seriousness of a risk to
injury should be weighted against the difficulty and cost of removing or reducing that risk. Where the difficulty and costs are
high, and a careful assessment of the risk shows it to be comparatively unimportant, action may not need to be taken. On the
other hand where the risk is high, action should be taken at whatever cost.”

b) owners to follow their responsibilities according to existing regulations;
c) maintenance companies and/or inspection bodies to inform the owners on the vandal resistance level of their
installations;
d) owners to upgrade the existing lifts on a voluntary basis in accordance with c) if no regulations exist.
In making an audit of an existing lift installation Annex B can be used to identify the deviations to the state of the art
and corrective actions in this Technical Specification.
However, where a situation is identified not covered in this Technical Specification a separate risk assessment
should be made. This risk assessment should be based on ISO 14798 [1].

Category 2 lifts.
5.3.2.2.2 Alarm system
The warning flashing light installed on the landing door side and the acoustic signal shall remain active as long as
the landing door is unlocked and/or opened outside the unlocking zone. Once the system is activated, the electric
displacement of the car shall be impossible, even during maintenance actions.
This device installed on each served landing, shall be composed by a warning flashing light, including a sign
“access prohibited” installed on the landing door frame. In addition to this warning signal, an acoustic signal shall
also exist, providing a minimum noise level of 65 dB (A) measured in a distance of 1 m in front of the closed landing
door concerned.
The setting and re-setting of this device shall only be possible by an authorised person from:

the machine room or in the pulley room) is actuated, the timer shall be interrupted. Once the lift turned into normal
service, the timer shall be automatically re-activated.
In the event of loss of electrical supply the alarm device shall remain operative for at least 2 h.
In the event of a damaged alarm device at the landing, a complementary warning flashing light, located in the well
and being visible from the landing door side, shall be active. In addition, an acoustic signal shall also exist in the

well providing a minimum noise level of 65 dB (A) measured in a distance of 1 m in front of the closed landing door
concerned.
The manual displacement of the car with open landing door from the machine room shall activate the flashing lights
and the acoustic signal in the well.
It shall be impossible to dismount the locking mechanism of the landing doors and the elements of the alarm device
from inside of the well.
5.3.2.2.3 Blocking device
The blocking device shall prevent the manual opening of the landing door in the absence of the car at the landing
from the landing and from the car itself with a special item as mentioned in EN 81-71:2005, Annex E.
If the blocking device, once activated, is not in the position to prevent the manual opening of the landing doors, in
the absence of the car at the landing level, all new departure of the lift shall be prevented.
The setting and re-setting of this device shall only be possible by an authorised person from:
a) a landing, or
b) the machine room, or
c) the lift control panel, or
d) the control panel located at the landing (MRL), or
e) the control room of the building, if there exists in the vicinity (in the same building).
The warning flashing light installed on the landing door side remains active as long as the landing door is unlocked
and/or opened outside the unlocking zone.
The identification of the device (as specified in EN 81-71:2005, Annex C) to set and reset the blocking device shall
be clearly and permanently located on or adjacent to the lift entrance at the main entry/exit floor of the building.
To avoid the blocking device to be left inoperative, a timer shall automatically reactivate it after a maximum period
of 30 min. However, when the lift is in inspection mode or a stopping device (on the roof of the car, or in the pit, or
in the machine room or in the pulley room) is actuated, the timer shall be interrupted. Once the lift turned into
normal service, the timer shall be automatically re-activated.
In the event of loss of electrical supply the blocking device shall remain operative for at least 2 h.
In the event of a damaged blocking device at the landing, a complementary warning flashing light, located in the
well and being visible from the landing door side, shall be active. In addition, an acoustic signal shall also exist in
the well providing a minimum noise level of 65 dB (A) measured in a distance of 1 m in front of the closed landing
door concerned.
The manual displacement of the car with open landing door from the machine room shall activate the flashing lights
and the acoustic signal in the well.
It shall be impossible to dismount the locking mechanism of the landing doors and the elements of the blocking
device from inside of the well.
5.3.3 Door coupling mechanism for automatically operating sliding doors
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 EN 81-71:2005, Annex E within a period of 60 s.
