It is not intended to supersede the content of BS 9

4、999:2008.At this time the requirements in the United Kingdom for such lifts can be found within BS 9999:2008, Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings, particularly Annex G. Further requirements such as the provision of secondary power supplies, protected lobbi

5、es, communication systems, etc., associated with the use of such lifts will be found in other sections of BS 9999:2008.More general guidance on the design of buildings to facilitate use by disabled people can be found in BS 8300:2009, Design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of dis

24、 which is held by AFNOR. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. CEN/CENELEC has embarked on a programme of work to produce a

25、series of related machinery and lift safety standards as part of European standardisation. This document is part of the EN 81 series of standards: “Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts”. This is the first edition of this Technical Specification. According to the CEN/CENELEC In

26、ternal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania

DD CEN/TS 81-76:2011CEN/TS 81-76:2011 (E) 5 0 Introduction 0.1 Background to this Technical Specification At present, there are no European and few national reg

28、ulations for lifts, which include specifications related to the evacuation from buildings of persons with impaired mobility using lifts. This has the consequence that persons with a disability may experience difficulty and delay whilst waiting for assistance to evacuate. This document has been devel

29、oped as a first step towards defining requirements for a European Standard for evacuation of lifts. It is believed that since recommendations have been put in place to provide disabled access to buildings, by using lifts complying with EN 81-70, a standardised evacuations lift design would be a usef

30、ul step to providing safe evacuation. In Europe today, the European Lift Directive defines strict safety requirements that must be met by all new lifts going into service. In support of the Lift Directive a number of harmonised standards have been developed namely, EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 which address

31、the fundamental safety requirements of any new lift design. EN 81-73 describes how any lift that is not intended to be used during a fire should be removed from service in an organised manner. Fire fighting lifts designed to EN 81-72 may also be suitable for the evacuation of disabled persons with p

32、rior agreement of the fire service. However, some of the features provided by EN 81-72 may not be essential for evacuation use. 0.2 General situation in Europe concerning evacuation a) Implementation of fire regulations in buildings are not harmonized and usually differ: 1. from country to country;

33、2. from city to city; 3. depending on the building type. b) Evacuation and fire fighting concepts as well as fire management can also differ. There are however some points of commonality: 1. in a building, horizontal and vertical circulation corridors and stairs are dimensioned in number and in widt

34、h so as to allow for building evacuation within defined a time in accordance with the applicable local or national regulation; 2. lifts are rarely considered as a means of escape; 3. the normal rule is, “in case of emergency do not use lifts“; 4. this rule is usually communicated by different means

35、to all building occupants: signs; audible messages; training; written evacuation plan and procedures. DD CEN/TS 81-76:2011CEN/TS 81-76:2011 (E) 6 c) In some particular cases and under particular conditions in some countries, specific lifts can be used for transportation of the disabled in case of em

36、ergencies. d) In office buildings and buildings where the public may enter, such as hotels etc., personnel are often appointed responsible for evacuation of the building or particular levels. These may be called “evacuation assistants“ or “fire wardens“. The term evacuation assistant is used through

37、out this document. Their task is to: 1. verify in case of an evacuation alert that all areas have been effectively evacuated; 2. help disabled persons and particularly people with impaired mobility to evacuate. 0.3 Basic principle of evacuation of the disabled taken into account in this document The

38、 principle that stairs are the recognised main means of escape from the building remains unchanged. The purpose of this document is not to reconsider this principle, but to study under which conditions lifts could be used to supplement stairs with reasonable safety, in order to assist the evacuation

39、 of persons with impaired mobility. Lifts for evacuation should be lifts normally used for daily vertical transportation but include special functions used in cases of evacuation. This is deliberate to ensure the lifts are regularly used thus increasing the probability that when required for an evac

40、uation, they will be working. This Technical Specification also highlights certain building features that shall be provided in order to ensure the safety and security of the lifts, lift users and those waiting for the lift. This document describes only a basic “evacuation lift“ in order to provide a

41、 reasonable and practical solution suitable for implementation in some buildings. This Technical Specification is not suitable for all building types such as buildings without a person responsible to manage the building and its evacuation, who are not located in the buildings, or residential buildin

42、gs with multiple owners sharing common escape routes and no one individual responsible in the building. These cases require different solutions than described in this document. 0.4 Aims of the document This Technical Specification deals with: a) the reduction of risk to persons in the lift car that

43、may be exposed to fire and smoke; b) the reduction of the risk of persons being trapped in a lift car during an evacuation; c) the reduction of evacuation time for persons unable to use the stairs. 0.5 Use of this Technical Specification The purpose of this Technical Specification is to show how a l

44、ift(s) can be designed in order to be used for evacuation and to list the requirements not directly part of the lift itself, but which have to be satisfied in order to make its use practical and safe. See Annex A, B and C. This Technical Specification can be used as a guideline for: a) national auth

45、orities to determine its own programme of implementation; b) owners to follow their responsibilities according to existing regulations; c) a basis for future National, International or European standards on this subject; DD CEN/TS 81-76:2011CEN/TS 81-76:2011 (E) 7 d) assistance to standards making c

46、ommittees that work on building evacuation concepts. 0.6 Relationship between this standard and others in the EN 81-70 series It is important to understand the relationship between this standard and others in the EN 81-70 series. EN 81 parts 1 and 2 define the basic safety requirements essential to

47、any lift design. EN 81-70 provides additional requirements that make a lift more easily accessible to all users including those with disabilities. EN 81-72 defines requirements for a lift suitable for use by fire fighters. At the discretion of the fire service and local legislation, it may be accept

48、able to use such a lift prior to arrival of the fire service for the evacuation of persons with a disability. This is not acceptable in all countries or desirable in all cases. Local legislation should determine what is acceptable in their jurisdiction. EN 81-73 defines how a lift can be safely remo

49、ved from service if local legislation or rules or building management requires that lifts are not used during an emergency. E.g., fire. See also Annex A. Management can determine on the day if the building is to be evacuated and if they wish to use the evacuation lift. If they do, they can bring the lift back into evacuat
