10、ing Standards Committee and is identical with European Standard EN81-1 “Safety rules for the construction and installation of lifts and service lifts Part1 Electric lifts”. It is the first Part of a British Standard, relating to lifts and service lifts, which will progressively supersede portions of
11、 BS2655. It is anticipated that the following further Parts of BS5655 will be published in due course (Part5 has already been published): Part2: Safety rules for the construction and installation of hydraulic lifts; (ImplementingEN81-2) Part3: Safety rules for the construction and installation of el
12、ectric service lifts; (ImplementingEN81-3) Part4: Safety rules for the construction and installation of hydraulic service lifts; (Implementing EN81-4) Part5: Dimensions of standard lift arrangements. (Related to ISO3571) Subsequent Parts will deal with control devices and signals, eyebolts, and a co
13、de of practice. Explanatory supplement, PD6500, makes clear the meaning of various clauses of this standard and the spirit in which the experts have drafted them. It is anticipated that PD6500 will be periodically reviewed and updated as experience in the application of this standard is gained. Euro
14、pean Standard EN81-1 was prepared in anticipation of it being adopted as a technical annex, or being referred to, in an EEC Directive for electrically operated lifts. Draft proposals for such a Council Directive also include certification requirements for design and component type approval and inspe
15、ction in support of the test directives given in Appendix F of EN81-1. 0.1.4 of the general introduction to EN81 (see the explanatory note at the end of this national foreword) permits each country to append to the European Standard certain amendments that are necessary to comply with current nation
16、al legislation or codes of practice; the United Kingdom national variations for Part1 of EN81 are given in National appendix V. Together with the publication of BS5655-1, certain sections of various Parts of BS2655 have been made obsolescent by amendment action. The obsolescent requirements will be
17、retained in BS2655 for reference purposes to enable new installations ordered before the publication of this standard to be completed and to enable existing lift installations to be maintained. The dates and conditions for implementing BS5655-1 are stated in National appendix W. EXPLANATORY NOTE ON

Hydraulic service lifts (in preparation)EN81-1:1977 BSI 01-2000 3 0 General introduction The object of this standard is to define safety rules related to
30、 passenger, goods and service lifts with a view to safeguarding people and objects against the risk of accidents associated with the operation of lifts and service lifts. 2) 0.1 In drawing up this standard the following methods have been adopted. 0.1.1 An analysis of the risks has been carried out f
31、or each component that may be incorporated in a complete lift or service lift installation. Rules have been drawn up accordingly. 0.1.2 This standard, specially associated with lifts and service lifts, does not repeat all the general technical rules applicable to every electrical, mechanical or buil
32、ding construction. It is of course assumed that all components shall: 0.1.2.1 be correctly designed, be of sound mechanical and electrical construction, be made of materials with adequate strength and of suitable quality and be free of defects; 0.1.2.2 be kept in good repair and working order. It wi
33、ll in particular be ensured that the clearances indicated are not exceeded despite wear. 0.1.3 This special standard for lifts and service lifts does not give rules relating to the protection against fire of building elements. However, as these rules have a direct influence on the choice of landing
34、doors and on the specification and design of electrical control systems, it is necessary to refer to them. 0.1.3.1 The choice of the landing doors which depends on the required behaviour in fire, is dealt with in7.2.2. The most common structural arrangements have been shown with the corresponding ty
35、pes of door designated by F and S. However, if statutory requirements lay down for certain arrangements type F instead of type S, the National Committees may make the necessary amendment. 0.1.3.2 The electrical control systems recommended for each example of structural arrangement given are describe
36、d in Appendix G. 0.1.4 This special standard for lifts and service lifts cannot ignore certain specifications which do not belong intrinsically to the field of these appliances or which are not the cause of barriers to trade, but which have an effect on the safety of users or maintenance personnel a
37、nd the upkeep of the installation. In certain countries these specifications come within the legislative field or accepted Codes of Practice. The National Committees may, therefore, make one or more of the following amendments to the specifications of the standard which refer to this clause: a) dele
38、te the clause or clauses; b) provide additional clauses (forexample,definitions, clauses concerned, frequency of inspections . . .); c) replace the value indicated by a value providing greater safety. NOTE 1Reference to this clause appears in the body of the standard in the form (N.a, b or c). The c
39、lauses concerned are indicated in the margin by the sign P. NOTE 2These amendments shall form the subject, in each country, of a National appendix. 0.2 It has, however, seemed necessary to establish certain requirements of good construction, either because they are peculiar to lift manufacture or be
40、cause in the case of lift utilization the requirements may be more stringent than elsewhere. 0.3 As far as possible the standard sets out only the requirements that materials and equipment have to meet in the interests of lift safety. 0.4 When mention is made of a design for the sake of clarity, thi
41、s should not be considered to be the only possible design; any other solution leading to the same result can be applied if it is equivalent in operation and at least equally safe. 0.5 A study has been made of the various accidents possible with lifts in the following areas. 0.5.1 Types of possible a
42、ccidents a) shearing; b) crushing; c) falling; d) impact; e) trapping; f) fire; g) electric shock; h) damage to material; i) due to wear; j) due to corrosion. 0.5.2 Persons to be safeguarded a) users; b) maintenance and inspection personnel; c) persons outside the lift well, the machine room or pull
43、ey room (if any). 2) An interpretation committee will be established to make clear, if necessary, the spirit in which the experts have drafted the various clauses of this standard.EN81-1:1977 4 BSI 01-2000 0.5.3 Objects to be safeguarded a) loads in car; b) components of the lift installation; c) th
44、e building in which the lift or service lift is installed. 0.6 In the standard it has been taken into account, 0.6.1 that there are users who have to be safeguarded against their own negligence and unwitting carelessness; 0.6.2 that there are other categories of users for whom certain rules may be l
45、ess severe (N.a). In the remainder of the text these users are referred to as “authorized and instructed users”. In the absence of another definition (N.b), it is permissible for the use of a lift to be reserved for authorized and instructed users if the instructions given them concerning its use ar
46、e issued by the person responsible for the lift and if one of the following two conditions are satisfied: a) operation of the lift is only possible when a key held by authorized and instructed users only is placed in a lock situated inside or outside the car; b) the lift is situated on premises to w
47、hich access by the public is prohibited and which, when not locked, is permanently supervised by one or more agents of the person responsible for the lift. 0.6.3 that there are service lifts, the car of which is, by definition, not accessible to people, for which certain rules may be less severe or
48、even waived. 0.7 The standard has been drawn up, taking into account in certain cases the imprudent act of a user, but it is necessary to limit this and the possibility of two simultaneous acts of this nature or the abuse of instructions for use has not been considered. 0.8 This standard deals, in t
49、he appendices, with the way in which tests must be made on certain components, as well as on the completed lift installation, when such tests are required. 0.8.1 Referring to the lift itself, the following documents detail the maximum which will be required. 0.8.1.1 The technical dossier to be provided when a preliminary authorization is required (Appendix C). 0.8.1.2 The examinations and tests before putting a lift into service (Appendix D). 0.8.1.3 Examinations and tests, made periodically, the frequency of which may
