6 The competence of the maintenance person within the maintenance organisation shall be continuously updated. NOTE
The owner of the installation should be informed that the qualification of the maintenance organisation is in conformity with the regulations applicable in the country in which the installation operates ; if no regulations exist, the qualification can be ensured by a certified quality system in accordance with EN ISO 9001 supplemented if necessary to take into account the specific features of the installation. The installer/manufacturer shall provide maintenance instructions intended for the owner of the installation (see 4.3.2) including information intended for the maintenance organisation (see 4.3.3). 4.2
Elements to be taken into account for the maintenance instructions When preparing the content of the maintenance instructions (see 4.3, clauses 5 and 6) the following elements shall be taken into account: a) the specifications and the intended use of the installation (type of installation, performance, type of goods to be transported, type of users, etc.); b) the environment in which the installation and its components are installed (weather conditions, vandalism, etc.); c) any restriction of use; d) the result of the risk assessment (see clause 5) for every working area and for every task to be undertaken; e) the specific maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturer of safety components; f) in case of components other than safety components, where maintenance is necessary, the maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturer of these components. 4.3 Information to be included in the maintenance instructions 4.3.1 General The maintenance instructions shall contain information relating to the tasks of the owner and respectively the maintenance organisation. 4.3.2
Information to the owner of the installation The information relating to the tasks of the owner of the installation shall include the following: 4.3.2.1 The need for the owner to keep the installation in a safe operating condition.

Information for the maintenance organisation The information relating to the tasks of the maintenance organisation shall include the following: 4.3.3.1 The need to carry out the work of maintenance in conformity with the maintenance instructions and based on systematic maintenance checks. After these checks, the maintenance organisation shall decide in conformity with the maintenance instructions what is required to be done.
A list of typical examples of maintenance checks to maintain the installation is shown in annex A. NOTE
Due to the fact that the components can be different in design and operation, it is therefore not possible to give specific guidelines in this Standard. 4.3.3.2 The need to update the original maintenance instructions if the installation changes its intended use and/or the environmental conditions existing on the completion of the installation. NOTE
The maintenance organisation should be provided by the owner of the installation with the relevant maintenance instructions where modifications are carried out on the installation. 4.3.3.3 The need for the maintenance organisation to ensure that a risk assessment for any working area and for any maintenance operation has been carried out taking into account the installer's maintenance instructions and all information supplied by the owner of the installation. 4.3.3.4 The need for the maintenance organisation to inform the owner of the installation about any work to be carried out as a consequence of a risk assessment especially for the access and/or the environment related to the building/installation. 4.3.3.5 The need to carry out a maintenance plan so that preventive maintenance is suitable for the installation and maintenance time is as short as reasonably practicable, without reducing the safety of persons, in order to minimise the non-operational time of the installation. 4.3.3.6 The need to adapt the plan for maintenance so as to take account of any predictable failures, e.g. those due to misuse, mishandling, deterioration, etc. NOTE
For this purpose a remote monitoring system, based on EN 627, which is able to report events or defects, helps to provide information. 4.3.3.7 The need to carry out maintenance operations by competent maintenance persons (see 3.3) and provided with the necessary tools and equipment. 4.3.3.8 The need to maintain the competency of maintenance persons. 4.3.3.9 The need to carry out the maintenance periodically. NOTE
The actual frequency of maintenance interventions can be more accurately determined where a remote monitoring system is connected to the installation. In determining the frequency of maintenance interventions, the following non-exhaustive list should be considered: - number of trips per year, operating time and any non operating periods of time; - age and condition of the installation; - location and type of building in which the installation is installed, as well as the needs of the users and/or the kind of goods transported; - local environment where the installation is situated, as well as external environmental elements, e.g. weather conditions (rain, heat, cold, etc.) or vandalism.

A remote monitoring system can be used to provide information in order to improve the response to a call-out. 4.3.3.11 The need to keep records of the result of each intervention due to a failure of the installation. These records shall include the type of failures in order to detect any repetition. They shall be available to the owner of the installation on request.
4.3.3.12 The need to put out of service the installation if the maintenance organisation is aware of a dangerous situation, detected during the maintenance, which cannot be eliminated immediately, and to inform the owner of the installation of the need to keep it out of service until repaired. 4.3.3.13 The need to be organised to provide the necessary spare parts for any repair. 4.3.3.14 The possible need for attendance of a competent maintenance person(s), given reasonable notice, for any inspection carried out by an authorised third party or for building maintenance works to be carried out in the areas reserved for the maintenance organisation. 4.3.3.15 The need to inform in due time the owner of the installation about necessary progressive upgrading of the installation. 4.3.3.16 The need to organize rescue operations, even with subcontractor(s), and to make provision for circumstances such as fire, panic, etc. 5
Risk assessment 5.1 General
Before an installation is placed on the market, it is necessary that the installer/manufacturer carries out a risk assessment in accordance with the Lifts Directive (95/16/EEC) respectively the Machinery Directive (98/37/EEC). Every risk shall be limited as much as reasonably possible by means of safety measures and suitable instructions. The instructions can never replace a safety measure which can be provided to reduce the risk. It is necessary to determine the different intervention procedures of the maintenance operations and to determine the appropriate safety measures for each of these procedures. The use of diagnostic systems (e.g. remote monitoring system, based on EN 627) may support fault finding, improve the maintainability of the installation and reduce the exposure of maintenance persons to hazards. Safety in maintenance operations of the installation is ensured by adopting safety measures and providing instructions. Safety measures on the installation and in the building shall be provided by the installer and by the owner of the installation respectively. For any working area, it is necessary to identify the list of the specific hazards related to health and safety and to carry out a risk assessment for any maintenance operation, including access to the working area. For this purpose, the following should be taken into account: a) presence of one or more maintenance persons in a working area; b) foreseeable actions of persons other than maintenance persons (e.g. person switching on or off power circuits and dependent circuits or lighting circuits or trying to use the installation during maintenance operations, etc.); c) possible states of the installation (normal or abnormal due to a foreseeable failure of its component parts, external disturbances, disturbance of its power supply, etc.).
