This document gives additional and deviating requirements to EN 81-20 as applicable in order to ensure the safety of lift users and the availability of lifts, which may be used for vandal resistant purposes. In all other respects such lifts are designed in accordance with EN 81-20. This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to lifts which can be affected by vandalism (as listed in Clause 4) when they are used under the conditions as foreseen by the installer.
It does not cover building security or Category 0 lifts (see definition 3.2).
For other types of lifts, e.g. inclined lifts according to EN 81-22, this standard can usefully be taken as a basis.
