0 Introduction
0.1 General
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered,
are indicated in the scope of this standard.
This document is a Type C Standard as stated in EN ISO 12100.
When provisions of this 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
machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this Type C standard.
0.2 General remarks
0.2.1 The object of this standard is to define additional safety rules related to passenger and goods lifts
with a view to safeguarding persons and objects against the risks described below associated with the
use, maintenance, inspection and emergency operation of lifts subject to seismic conditions.
0.2.2 The aim of this European Standard is to:
— avoid loss of life and reduce the extent of injuries;
— avoid people trapped in the lift;
— avoid damage;
— avoid environmental problems related to oil leakage;
— reduce the number of lifts out of service.
0.3 Principles
Risk analysis, terminology and technical solutions have been considered taking into account the methods
of EN ISO 12100 and EN ISO 14798 standards.
0.4 Assumptions
It is assumed that negotiations have been made for each contract between the customer and the
supplier/installer about the design acceleration (a ) to be considered and the most effective position of
d
the seismic detection system, if any, and of the primary wave detection system, if any. The building
designer or the lift owner should provide the design acceleration (a ) which will be documented in the
d
information for the owner provided by the installer.
This European Standard covers only the effects of earthquakes on lifts and not the nature of them.

This document does not introduce any additional special provisions and safety rules for lifts which are in
Seismic lift category 0 as defined in Annex A, Table A.1.
This document does not address other risks due to seismic events (e.g. fire, flood, explosion).

from seismic events
Note 1 to entry: See Annex B.

d
Note 1 to entry: Table A.1 shows the seismic lift categories.
3.4
primary wave
compressional wave that is longitudinal in nature
Note 1 to entry: Earthquake advance warning is possible by detecting the non-destructive primary waves that
travel more quickly through the Earth's crust than do the destructive secondary waves. The amount of advance
warning depends on the delay between the arrival of the primary wave and other destructive waves, generally in
the order of seconds for distant, large quakes.
3.5
secondary wave
shear wave that is transverse in nature, its motion being perpendicular to the direction of wave
propagation
Note 1 to entry: Secondary waves move through solids, unlike surface waves. They are destructive and arrive
later than primary waves.

3.7
seismic mode
special mode in which the lift operates after detection of seismic trigger level
3.8
seismic stand-by mode
special mode in which the lift operates after detection of primary wave without the activation of the
seismic detection system
3.9
normal operation
operation mode in which the lift operates when not in seismic mode or in seismic stand-by mode
3.10
retaining device
mechanical device securely fixed to a structural member of the lift car, counterweight or balancing weight
frame, designed to retain the lift car and counterweight (balancing weight) within its guide rails during

5.4.2 Car retaining devices
For lifts in lift categories 2 and 3, the car frame shall be provided with upper and lower retaining devices
able to hold the car frame on its guide rails.
The retaining devices shall be placed in such a way to distribute loads in a similar way as the guide shoes.

If the counterweight or the balancing weight incorporates filler weights, necessary measures shall be
taken to prevent their movement outside the frame considering the design acceleration value.
5.6 Suspension and compensation

are effective.
The devices for preventing the chains from leaving the sprockets shall include one retainer within 15° of
the points where the chains enter and leave the sprockets.
