15、nd EN 81-50 or their technical requirements are widely used not only in Europe 1 )and neighbouring countries but also in many regions and countries around the world. It is recognized that each region or country has its own legislative framework and practices that may influence the implementation of
16、those standards or requirements. This document has been developed in order to facilitate and encourage continued widespread use of EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 as a whole or their technical requirements. This document also provides guidance for use and implementation of those standards in the countries out
17、side Europe while pointing out main issues in a specific region or a country. 1)For the purpose of this document, Europe is considered as CEN member countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,

23、 81-50 5.1 Use of the words “shall”, “should”, “may” and “can” “shall” is used to express a requirement of a standard. If compliance with the standard is claimed, compliance with all the expressions with “shall” is required. EXAMPLE 1 “All assignments shall be documented.” “should” is used to expres
24、s recommendations. EXAMPLE 2 “Care should be taken after preparation to prevent contamination. If contamination occurs ” “may” in a standard indicates that the standard is giving permission. EXAMPLE 3 “One connection may have many channels.” “can” describes a possibility. EXAMPLE 4 “This product can
25、 be subjected to external climatic conditions.” PD CEN/TR 81-12:2014 CEN/TR 81-12:2014 (E) 6 5.2 Importance of notes and annexes A “note” within a CEN standard is not a technical requirement but advice given by the committee responsible for producing the standard with the intention of making the poi
26、nt clearer to understand. “Informative annexes” are also considered as guidance and while they may contain specific measurable values such as dimensions, light and noise levels, these are still only advisory and therefore cannot be demanded to be respected for compliance to the standard. Where an an
27、nex is stated to be “Normative”, its content is part of the relevant requirements stated in the core of the standard. If compliance with the standard is claimed, compliance with the annex is required. Notes and informative annexes are often connected to either National Regulations with regard to how
28、 the standard is adopted or to the negotiations which should be carried out between the lift supplier and the person placing the order for the equipment. 5.3 Importance of assumptions EN 81-20 is intended for use by technical professionals that have a general knowledge of lift technology. As it is n
29、ot possible to describe all possible aspects and circumstances of how the standard may be used, the assumptions define the environment and the boundaries for application of the standard. An assumption defines, up to a certain degree, the foundation of the standard and how assumptions shall be consid
30、ered when applying the standard. However, they are not requirements of the standard and as such the compliance with those assumptions is not required. 5.4 Negotiations 5.4.1 General EN 81-20 assumes the party supplying the lift and the party responsible for the end use of the lift take part in negot
31、iations to ensure that the supplied product is fit for purpose and used in the intended manner. These negotiations would normally include such items as the use of the lift as a passenger or goods/passenger lift, the means of loading, the goods to be carried, etc. 5.4.2 Car use and loading conditions
32、 EN 81-20 gives three basic usage conditions to be reflected when designing the car frame, sill and guides; Passenger use = 40 % of the rated load applied to the car door sill; Goods/Passenger use = 60 % of the rated load applied to the car door sill; Heavy Goods use = 85 % of the rated load applied
33、 to the car door sill. In some countries outside Europe it is more common for the lift owner to specify the intended use according to predetermined loading classifications, e.g. those given in the ASME A17.1/CSA B44 standard. However in some regions outside Europe these are more commonly known by ot
34、her descriptions such as: Class 1 - Passenger and general goods loading: applies when the load is distributed, the mass of any single piece of goods or any single hand truck and its load is not greater than 25 % of the rated load of the lift and the load is handled on and off the car platform manual
35、ly or by means of hand trucks; PD CEN/TR 81-12:2014 CEN/TR 81-12:2014 (E) 7 Class 2 - Heavy goods loading: applies to heavy goods loading exceeding class 1, power or hand trucks are used for carrying the load in transit or for loading/unloading or for concentrated loads; However, great care should b
36、e taken when using such classifications as they can be specific to the region such as those previously used in Europe for the design of guide rails etc. Examples are as follows: Class A Passenger and general goods loading; Class B Motor vehicle loading; Class C Heavy goods loading. The purpose of th
37、ese designations is to ensure the designer and manufacturer are fully aware of the conditions under which the lift will be used and adapt their designs appropriately to ensure a satisfactory robustness and service life. Therefore regardless of the actual descriptors of these usage conditions is it v
38、ital that adequate negotiations take place between the supplier and purchaser to ensure that the delivered product is suitable for its intended use. 5.5 Environmental Considerations Some countries have specific requirements with regard to machinery space and lift well heating and ventilation due to
39、their climate. At present the normal operating temperature limits are specified in the assumptions EN 81-20 as +5 C to +40 C (degrees Celsius) as part of normal operational conditions. This is both as a means of equipment protection and as a limit to the working environment for lift personnel (see I
40、EC 60364-5-51, Code AA5). EN 81-50 requires specific environmental conditions to be considered (e.g. exposure to UV and humidity for polyurethane buffers). Some countries may have higher or lower ambient temperatures, altitude and other environmental considerations which may or may not affect the eq
41、uipment, or to which the lift personnel have become acclimatised, or parameters which are specified by National Regulation. Such situations should form part of the negotiations between supplier of the lift and purchaser. 5.6 Rationales for different loading conditions EN 81-20 refers to several load
42、ing conditions: 100 % of the rated load: indicating fully loaded car under normal running conditions 110 % of the rated load: maximum loading before the overload sensor is activated, the lift being kept stationary at the floor level. This is to prevent that lift from moving under the overload condit
43、ions. 125 % of the rated loading: maximum overloading that may occur and causing lift movement under overload conditions. Relevant lift components such as machine brakes and safety gear to be capable of stopping the moving lift with specified deceleration rate or keeping the speed of the lift within
44、 a specified margin. For hydraulic and positive drive, safety gear may be tested with 100 % of rated load. As the design of the lift is based on the worst case scenario, i.e. 125 % overload, there is no need to consider lower overload situations in the calculations. The lift is then subjected to var
45、ious tests on site at rated speed with loads of up to 125 % in order to verify the design and installation. See EN 81-20:2014, 6.3. PD CEN/TR 81-12:2014 CEN/TR 81-12:2014 (E) 8 5.7 Good engineering practice Good engineering practice is essential to ensure the safety of lift equipment. It should take
46、 into account all service conditions and failure modes. It should embrace the expectations and considerations to be taken into account for design of a lift component. Below are some relevant factors: a) for every calculation of a design all probable load cases need to be defined and several assumpti
47、ons should be made specific to the issue under consideration; b) these assumptions should be based on commonly understood technical and engineering theory and practice and on the experience of the experts responsible for the design. For example, the dynamic factor in the case of counterweight jump w
48、hen the empty car is stopped by the safety gear, the frictional forces imparted on the guide brackets in case of safety gear application through guide clips or the support of driving machines on structural steel members according to deflection criteria, etc.; c) the load spectrum and frequencies of
49、different loads should be defined. From this it should be decided which lead to endurance/fatigue stresses and which are occasionally applied loads which lead to corresponding stresses; d) tolerances of parts, friction factors and possible variations during assembly need to be considered, e.g. tightening torque of fasteners to be defined; e) the probability of a combination of worst cases of all influences should be described, considering that the simple combination of all worst assumptions may lead to unnecessarily heavy designs in some cases
