This standard specifies the additional or deviating requirements to EN 81-1 and EN 81-2 for new passenger and goods passenger lifts, which may be used for firefighting and evacuation purposes under firefighters control. During normal conditions firefighters lifts should preferably be used as normal lifts. This standard applies, when the following conditions are fulfilled: the lift is in scope of EN 81-1 or EN 81-2; the lift well and the environment of the lift are designed to restrict the ingress of fire, heat and smoke to the lift well; the building design limits the flow of water into the lift well; the firefighters lift is not escape route; the lift well and the lift environment are fire protected for at least to the same value as the building structure; the power supply is secure and reliable; the cable providing power to the lift is fire protected to the same fire protection level as given to the lift well structure; a suitable maintenance and verification plan is implemented. This standard does not cover: requirements for the fire resisting structure of the building essential to provide a safe environment for the lift, lift users and to limit the spread of fire; the use of lifts with partially enclosed wells for use as firefighters lifts; lifts which are not included in fire resisting building structure. This standard does not define: the number of firefighters lifts, the size of the lifts and the floors to be served during firefighters operations; the use of multi deck lift lower decks for firefighting operations. This standard deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to firefighters lifts (as listed in clause 4) when they are used as intended and under the conditions as foreseen by the installer. The following significant hazards are not dealt with in this standard and are assumed to be addressed by the building designer: not having enough or correctly located firefighters lifts to move the firefighters up the building; a fire in the firefighters lift well, safe area, machinery space or lift car; the absence of building floor identification signs at any floor; water management is not correctly operating.
