21、3EN 81-82:2013 (E) 4 Introduction Background of this European Standard More than four million lifts are in use today in the EU and EFTA, and almost 50 % were installed more than 25 years ago. Existing lifts were installed to the safety and accessibility level appropriate at that time. This level is

22、less than todays state of the art. New technologies and social expectations have led to todays state of the art for accessibility resulting in different levels of accessibility across Europe. Nevertheless, users expect a common acceptable level of safety and accessibility. There is a growing trend f

23、or people to live longer and for disabled people to expect access and design for all. Therefore, it is especially important to provide a safe means of vertical transport for all lift users including disabled and elderly persons without assistance. Furthermore, the life cycle of a lift is longer than

24、 most other transportation systems and building equipment, which therefore means that lift design, performance, safety and accessibility can fall behind modern technologies. If existing lifts are not upgraded to todays state of the art, the number of problems related to accessibility will increase a

25、s the proportion of the population with disabilities increases, thereby resulting in a less accessible environment for the society in general. With the freedom of movement of people within the EU for all users including users with disabilities, familiarity with the different installations is becomin

26、g more desirable. EN 81-82 has been prepared to address these issues. This European Standard is intended to help owners, authorities and lift designers/manufacturers to find practical solutions and ways of applying EN 81-70 to existing lifts to improve accessibility and use by persons including pers

27、ons with disabilities. Where, due to practical reasons, EN 81-70 cannot be fully applied, this European Standard provides alternative proposals. In such cases, it is still considered an advantage to apply parts of EN 81-70. For example, if the existing entrance opening is not large enough for a whee

28、lchair and cannot be modified, it is still a major improvement to make the lift controls suitable for other types of disability. Such changes/improvements could enable elderly and disabled people to remain living in their own homes instead of having to re-locate to specialised nursing homes. Use of

29、this European Standard This European Standard can be used by: a) national authorities to determine a specific programme of implementation; b) owners to follow their responsibilities according to existing regulations (e.g. national building regulations, anti discrimination acts); c) maintenance compa

30、nies and/or inspection bodies to inform the owners on the accessibility level of their installations; d) owners to upgrade the existing lifts on a voluntary basis if no regulations exist by making an audit of an existing lift installation using Annex A and Annex B.

31、5 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard provides rules on how to apply EN 81-70 referred to in EN 81-80:2003, 5.2.1 4 to existing lifts to improve their accessibility for persons including persons with disability. 1.2 This European Standard applies to permanently installed lifts serving defined landing

32、 levels, having a car designed for the transportation of persons or persons and goods and moving between guide rails inclined not more than 15 to the vertical. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for i

33、ts application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 81-70:2003, Safety rules for the construction and installations of lifts Particular applications for passenger and good p

34、assenger lifts Part 70: Accessibility to lifts for persons including persons with disability 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in the EN 81 series of standards apply. 4 List of significant hazards EN 81-70:2003, Clause 4 applies. 5 Requirement

35、s for safe access and use and/or protective measures 5.1 General The general accessibility of the building needs to be taken into account. 5.2 Entrances Door opening 5.2.1 Entrance clear opening If the size of the car is in accordance with EN 81-70:2003, Table 1, the minimum entrance clear opening s

36、hall be 800 mm. NOTE National regulations can require more than 800 mm. Type 2 lifts should be provided with an entrance clear opening of 900 mm, according to ISO 4190-1 (series B) 6, and type 3 lifts with a clear opening of 1 100 mm. The car and landing doors shall be constructed as automatic power

37、 operated horizontally sliding doors. If that is not the case and if it is not possible to do so, the manual door shall be converted to a power operated door. If the lift is equipped with hinged doors at the landings and if the size of the lift does not allow the use by a wheel chair user, the acces

38、sibility can nevertheless be improved for impaired mobility users by the installation of automatic power operated horizontally sliding doors even if the car entrance has to be reduced (e.g. existing hinged doors with a car entrance of 800 mm replaced by automatic power operated horizontally sliding

39、doors with a car entrance of 700 mm). Existing folding car doors may remain if the accessibility for wheel chair users is not restricted. BS EN 81-82:2013EN 81-82:2013 (E) 6 5.2.2 Accessible and obstacle free landings Obstacle-free accessibility on the landing floors is required on all eligible floo

40、rs as defined in EN 81-70:2003, 5.2.2. Special attention should be given to adequate local lighting at the landings (see EN 81-1/2:1998, 7.6.1 1, 2). 5.2.3 Door dwell time When the lift is equipped with automatic power operated doors, the door dwell time shall be sufficiently long to facilitate acce

41、ss or the control system shall be equipped with an adjustable dwell time as defined in EN 81-70:2003, 5.2.3. 5.2.4 Re-opening device without physical contact When the lift is equipped with automatic power operated horizontally sliding doors, it shall at least also be equipped with a protection devic

42、e preventing physical contact as defined in EN 81-70:2003, 5.2.4. NOTE In case of interference between the device and door coupler and/or locks, the protective device covers the opening over a distance between at least 25 mm and 1 600 mm above the car door sill. For power operated hinged doors, the

43、effort needed to prevent the door opening and closing shall not exceed 150 N. The kinetic energy shall not exceed 4 J in each direction. 5.3 Car dimensions, equipment in the car, stopping/levelling accuracy 5.3.1 Car dimensions Car dimensions shall be in accordance with EN 81-70:2003, 5.3.1. NOTE 1

44、The sizes shown in EN 81-70:2003, Table 1, are ideal sizes particularly for new buildings. However, there are many existing lifts where smaller wheelchairs can be used. Therefore no change to the car is necessary, providing this is acceptable for the expected users of the building. NOTE 2 Attention

45、needs to be given to the fact that dimensions of the well dictate dimensions of the car. 5.3.2 Equipment in the car 5.3.2.1 Handrail Handrails shall be in compliance with EN 81-70:2003, 5.3.2.1. If placing the handrail on the side reduces the entrance width and prevents wheel chair users access, it

46、shall be placed on the rear wall. 5.3.2.2 Tip-up seats Tip-up seats where provided shall be in compliance with EN 81-70:2003, 5.3.2.2. It should be ensured that the relevant car wall has sufficient strength. 5.3.2.3 Moving backwards out of the car Devices shall be installed in compliance with EN 81-

47、70:2003, 5.3.2.3. BS EN 81-82:2013EN 81-82:2013 (E) 7 5.3.3 Levelling and stopping accuracy The stopping and levelling accuracy shall comply with EN 81-70:2003, 5.3.3, which means: stopping accuracy of the lift shall be 10 mm; levelling accuracy of 20 mm shall be maintained. 5.4 Control devices and

48、signals 5.4.1 Landing control devices 5.4.1.1 Button system The push button type system shall comply with EN 81-70:2003, 5.4.1.1, in particular Table 2. Where the existing buttons do not fully comply with one or more of the requirements of EN 81-70:2003, Table 2, they can be kept until modernisation

49、 of the related component is carried out. However, if some requirements (except g), registration feedback) of high level of effectiveness (i.e. 3 or 4 according to the matrix of Annex A) do not comply, the buttons shall be replaced. If providing a new lift controller then the complete EN 81-70:2003, Table 2 shall be complied with. 5.4.1.2 Keypad Where a keypad is used, it shall comply with EN 81-70:2003, 5.4.1.2. 5.4.1.3 Temporary activation control Where a temporary activation control is used, it shall comply with EN 81-70:2003, 5.
