This Standard deals with new passenger and goods passenger lifts permanently installed in existing buildings. It does not cover other applications outside of the scope of EN 81-1:1998 or EN 81-2:1998.
In some circumstances due to limitations enforced by building constraints, not all the requirements of EN 81-1:1998 and EN 81-2:1998 can be met completely or partially. This Standard addresses those requirements and gives alternative solutions, taking into account the circumstances addressed in this Standard. It shall be read and applied in conjunction with the Standard EN 81-1:1998 or EN 81-2:1998 and their amendment prA2: 2000, including their clause 0.
This standard covers:
a) either the construction and installation of one or more complete new lift(s) including their well(s), or
b) the replacement of one or more existing lift(s) by new ones in existing well(s) and machinery spaces.
This Standard does not cover replacement or modifications of some parts to a lift already installed.
